My favorite gym leader. I think he was the first sign of gamefreak trying to do more with the gym leaders beyond just being bosses that fully fleshes out in gen 5. Can't wait to challenge him in the Sinnoh remakes, whenever they happen.
@@murtajiz545 🙄🙄🙄 typical naruto virus. Who spread lies cant handle facts. Who cant even respect peoples opinions. Also he is not 100% based on him. Just because they look similar dosent mean it's based on him. Let's not forget the fact that kishimoto explicitly said that his show was mainly inspired by DBZ. It's no wonder why it's so similar.
Vokner's and Flint's friendship is really done well in all 3 things especially in the manga because best friends always do the dumbest things together, and lets be honest fighting the pokemon devil is a really dumb thing
Now I can't help but imagine Volkner reacting in this manner anytime he took on a challenger Volker: Oh god...I did another sweep with just one pokemon...DAAAMN IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!
I regard Volkner as ' A super duper pessimist ' . And also he has a very striking appearance to Minato . .........Uhh.....and if you can , could you do a character study for Roxie next ? She's quite a unique character and i absolutely love her !!!
Grimsley comes to mind when you say future Character Study, he had a strange role in SM and he seems like he doesnt fit there. His backstory was never explicitly stated although it has something to do with gambling
Mini Update Alright, and here's the re-upload. Previous upload of this had some weird glitches and errors in it (and this one unfortunately has some too), so I tried to fix them as best as I could! There's probably a few audio errors and glitches too, as I got new recording equipment but I'm still learning how to use it ;~; As for other update-type things, I'm hoping to upload every week next month! I have a rough schedule worked out (with another Character Study, Brand New What-If Regional Video, and Top 10), and I'm really going to try and stick to it!
Easily my favorite gym leader, he’s just so damn cool idk. I hope to see him in brilliant diamond and shining pearl, hopefully with more content with him in it lol
If you fight Shauntal for the second time in eighter B, W, or B2, W2, before battle she reads some random setenses from here books and theres one which tells that Volkner actualy chalenched the Elite 4 of Unova. Sorry for my bad english its not my nativ language
i didnt watch much of the anime nor read the manga (i’m more into playing the video games) but i still do remember brock just giving ash a badge even though he didn’t win the battle. its kinda funny how many battles ash has lost in the anime. he’s so weak. did he ever even become pokemon champion? and if he did, did he actually beat the elite 4 and the champion fairly?
@@saklee1777 Leagues don't work like that in the anime, mostly leagues in the anime are a tournament between trainers that beat the 8 gyms and got the badges, and the winner is crowned champion, and yes Ash did become the Alola leaugue's champion. Ash does mention there is a second tournament known as the champion league, where facing the elite 4 is necessary but it's never mentioned again.
If/when gamefreak makes Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum remakes, I would love it if Volkner became a member of Elite 4. It would be cool to show a progression in his character for going to weaker than his best friend Flint, to being an equal. Maybe Bertha could retire, and/or Lucian could leave. Arron should stay and maybe another character could join the ranks.
A character study on Catlin would be interesting since you haven't covered any elite four members yet. Not to mention that Catlin showed up in two regions (Sinnoh and Unova), so there's a lot to analyze about her character.
With all his appearances, I want to see an in depth analysis on Looker. He first appears in the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum games and has appeared in the new generations following it, Black/White, X/Y, briefly in Ruby/Sapphire, and in the (Ultra) Sun/Moon games. It's weird because he doesn't stand out as much as the characters around him, but he's played some interesting roles.
really good video! volkner and flint have always been two of my favorite characters. i think a cyrus character study video would be very cool to see, considering he's got a lot of noticeable differences depending on his appearances, especially with the anime and dp adventures.
Amazing... I am so impressed with the amount of work you put into making your videos. They all have decent length and are so packed with information. thank you.
you should do a character study on Cheren. that would be interesting, since his character changes a lot throughout Black and White, and also changes between BW and B2W2
Volkner's technically my 3rd/2nd favorite gym leader. He's just barely beaten by Candice and Maylene, both also from Gen IV, because: A) Lucario is awesome. B) Froslass is also awesome. C) Ice type gym leader is a bubbly enthusiastic girl who is quite tough to beat without a good fire type. D) They were so adorably crushing on each other, to the point where even 8-year-old me could see it. I was shipping those two before I even knew what shipping was.
He is so awesome He should have a 6 Pokemon team adding the Octillery to destroy your ground types at first then 5 Electric type Pokémon to Smash you. He is such a cool character
I think the excuse in diamond and pearl for volkner's team was that each of his pokemon had one electric type move as opposed to being electric type themselves, which is kinda interesting.
I definitely want to do a Gen 7 Character (Lusamine/Lillie/Guzma are my 3 first picks tbh), but I feel like most gen 7 characters are probably going to be in another Gen 7 game, so I sort of want to wait until they've been in more stuff before doing a study on them. That being said, I might just go all in and do a Lusamine study before that happens though (because she's by far one of my favorite Team Leaders!).
I agree, she's also my favorite team leader. I feel like a good start would be Guzma, since he probably won't have a whole lot of extra stuff in a post-game. Lusamine however might be used again, in a possible kanto post-game. I'd love to see what you'll find though.
just him getting bored of battles is kinda relatable to us players which can be related to other games such as yugioh that we eventually grow bored of games. nevertheless volkner is always a character that I always found amazing to have met in the games and hope to see him in the future whether it's the remakes or next main series games
Here's what I think of Volkner. Electric? Check. "Negative" attitude? Check. Luxrays? Check. Aviator jacket? Check. Love for crazy fire people? Check. Volkner is Elliott Electron's dad confirmed!? Wait, you don't know Elliott? Nevermind................................
I was watching naruto with my mother and sister, and I said the fourth hokage looked like Volker, I come to this video and figure out that I wasn't the only one who thought that.
Pokemon Character Study: Guzma and/or Gladion Which may take some time given Gen 7 is so new (particularly the manga and anime), but I feel the games didn't really explore him enough. Same for Gladion's storyline - most of the focus was on Lillie and Lusamine and it leaves a lot to question about what kind of interaction was had between Gladion and Guzma during his affiliation with Team Skull.
Gah, now I have even MORE incentive to finish reading the Diamond & Pearl chapter & the Platinum chapter of PokeSpe . . . Welp!! I don't want spoilers, so time to get reading!! . . . it's strange, though, the Diamond & Pearl chapter was the 2nd chapter of PokeSpe I've ever started reading, but after all these years I STILL haven't finished it . . .
Volkner and minato are twin brother It also could be that when minato ( 4 hokage ) get lost he became a pokemon gym leader the user of electric type I really like volkner and minato both.
I’m sorry. (3:41). A yellow haired electric focused leader being best friends with a red-haired fiery elite member. The allusions to naruto’s 4th hokage and his wife (arguably his best friend) is uncanny.
This video is so old I doubt you will see this comment but it is in regards to his Octillary. Not only is it a goo counter to the ground types but it is also one of the very few Pokémon the learn Zap Cannon by leveling.
I love volkner he is amazing and made me like pokemon battles again it was cool doing his puzzle...... ah i also always loved electric types....so i had A LOT OF TROUBLE beating him. And. HIS. DAMN. FOCUS. BLAST. RAICHU. and his whole team in diamond/pearl knows CHARGE BEAM........REEEEEEEEEWEWEWEEW
I relate so much to Volkner as like him I am often so bored with life and depressed these days (most of my excitement comes from video games these days)
I've read most of them, but i'm still trying to finish the unova b/w chapter, get the unova bw2 chapter, and waiting for new updates on the X and Y chapters, the ORAS chapters, and i'm trying to get the sun and moon chapters.
First video of yours that I'm watching (also this is 2 years old) so maybe you don't know this, but at 9:52 it might be worth noting that Luxray Lv. X was the center of a tier 1 deck. I love it when anime cannon is mirrored in the TCG.

Isn't he supposed to join in afterlife with us too? Hagoromo: Ah I see. It seems he was isekai'd somewhere sometimes ago. Hokages: TF IS ISEKAI???
Pretty sure that's Naruto's dad before he became a ninja.
I think you mean boruto's gramp
its the same thing.....
its a joke im to lazy to explain m8
Oreon Peregrino who's naturo? I only know Boruto's dad
@@noraneko4848 naruto is boruto's dad and minato is naruto's dad (boruto's grandfather)
He is also known as the 4th Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
He's Boruto's dad's dad right
@@LRio27 he is the main character dad of naruto right?
YES
My favorite gym leader. I think he was the first sign of gamefreak trying to do more with the gym leaders beyond just being bosses that fully fleshes out in gen 5. Can't wait to challenge him in the Sinnoh remakes, whenever they happen.
How so? He has no personality...
Looks like its about time
yes
Wish granted
@@Mqstodon You joking right
How can one make a Saitama reference and not compare Volkner to the 4th Hokage?
By being Mr. Buddy
Volkner is the sad Minato
@@starboost7333 😂
Minato accidentally teleport to the Pokemon universe like bruh 🤣
Cause Naruto sucks
does anyone notice that volkner looks like minato from naruto
That guy ultra
The real question is, who HASN'T noticed?
The better question is who hasn't noticed.
Eeww stop putting the naruto verse in the pokemon world. Pokemon is way better.

Mr Buddy Volkner looks like Minato from Naruto.
Where's the next one? Hope you still have time
Volkner looks like he's seen....stuff
If by stuff you mean the Nine Tailed Fox then I would understand his depression
@@walycisse4151 Or his very own student unleashing it then yeah I could see why he's depressed.
Easily my favorite gym leader, he’s just so damn cool idk. I hope to see him in brilliant diamond and shining pearl, hopefully with more content with him in it lol
Watched a short about him, needed a breakdown, thankyou from 7 years in the future !
If you fight Shauntal for the second time in eighter B, W, or B2, W2, before battle she reads some random setenses from here books and theres one which tells that Volkner actualy chalenched the Elite 4 of Unova. Sorry for my bad english its not my nativ language
Thats cool, and what is your native languange?
Volkner is basically Minato but with Shikamaru's personality
Ash doesn't like the idea of taking a badge without earning it.
Gym leaders who " just gave him the badge "
Every gym leader up to gen 5
Magma Admin Axel That was most of Kanto & a bit of Johto
I think it was only Kanto he never took another badge without battle after Kanto.
i didnt watch much of the anime nor read the manga (i’m more into playing the video games) but i still do remember brock just giving ash a badge even though he didn’t win the battle. its kinda funny how many battles ash has lost in the anime. he’s so weak. did he ever even become pokemon champion? and if he did, did he actually beat the elite 4 and the champion fairly?

@@saklee1777 Also I do recommend the manga, it's pretty good, and it's not as kid friendly as the anime.
Wait, ash didn't just take a badge? he wanted to BATTLE for it?! TELL THAT TO GEN 1 😂
Ikr?
Th3 C05m05 reason why charizard was disobedient towards him
@@roxasbaker no charizard was just a dick to him most def being ash safed his life

I was shocked to see another Pokémon character study in my subscription feed. Great video, man. Keep it up.
Id like to see a character study on either ghetsis or buck. both of them have really cool backstories, and I'd like to learn more about them!

Good video! I like Volkner, he's one of my favorite gym leaders
Can you do Wallace or Steven next?
Volkner is mine favorite to
Volkner's Diamond/Pearl team is probably due to the limited dex, look at Flint.

I've read most of them, but i'm still trying to finish the unova b/w chapter, get the unova bw2 chapter, and waiting for new updates on the X and Y chapters, the ORAS chapters, and i'm trying to get the sun and moon chapters.
I've read all the way up to B/W twice. ORAs once and working on B2W2, X,Y and Sun and Moon.

Dat sitama bit made me laugh a little.
First video of yours that I'm watching (also this is 2 years old) so maybe you don't know this, but at 9:52 it might be worth noting that Luxray Lv. X was the center of a tier 1 deck. I love it when anime cannon is mirrored in the TCG.
I don't know why, but when I think of Volkner from the games, I just keep imagining him with Garra's voice.
Ash says that, yet he got the first half of his badges through pity!
Searched up Minato of pokemon and got this
Volker is my fave electric type gym leader. But i love him he is hot
perv
This guy was my first anime crush...
Really cool video man. I love Volkner!
dude is hot. his appearance plays a big role. plus people think he's similar to the 4th hokage from Naruto when considering his electric typing
Have you seen Pokemon Master Journeys?
Ash vs Volkner
Sarutobi: Hmm wait a sec, why does something feels off?
Hagoromo: Hm? What's wrong?

Hagoromo: Ah I see. It seems he was isekai'd somewhere sometimes ago.
Hokages: TF IS ISEKAI???
And Kushina was somehow turned into a man named Flint in the process.
Great video! I would love a character study on Red but I would also like one on someone from Gen 2. Don't know who though. Maybe Jasmine or Morty.
Imagine watching a character study just to understand a fanfic X'D
I laughed so much at the Saitama joke, it just fits so stupidly well.
The funny thing is that I got this video recommended to me after watching naruto's 1st episode🤣
For the next character study on Gym leaders, may I suggest Clemont? I think his character is worth looking at.
That's not Volkner! That's Namikaze Minato! That's where he went he died!
Don't you mean Minato Namikaze? Not Volkner?
