Why not just give Norman a linoone? He canonically has a zigzagoon (rented it to Wally), and it would be nice to see it in an evolved form by the gym fight.
I would personally argue that doubling up on the same Pokemon or evolution lines is a much greater sin than using some Pokemon from previous generations. I personally think that gym leaders should be using primarily - but not entirely - new Pokemon, and I would argue that intentionally mixing in older Pokemon sometimes is beneficial (after all, only gen 1 and gen 5 were ever meant to stand alone; all others were meant to complement what already existed) - they just shouldn't be the main course I would argue against giving Fantina Rotom for the same reason you didn't want Gardenia to have Turtwig: making it feel less special. In this generation, Rotom is a one-of-a-kind postgame-only Pokemon that plays legendary music. I was going to apply the same argument to giving Roxanne the fossils, but Grant does the same thing already Lastly, for Paldea, I think it would have been cool if they used tera to create type coverage instead of removing it. For instance, instead of the bug gym leader bringing a normal type and making it tera bug, she could bring Dewpider (bug/water) and make it tera water, which would be great coverage for fire and rock types (especially with its ability). Dewpider isn't a Paldea Pokemon, and I would prefer that gym leader aces be new Pokemon, but I don't think there's any Paldea Pokemon that would work nearly as well as Dewpider here
I fully understand and see what you mean, and I can agree with a lot of that. The only reason I went so strict on this video is for the pure case of the what if scenario but I genuinely do understand and see what you’re saying, and you make very good arguments
I think the reasoning for Roxanne and the fossils makes sense given the ORAS gym and Devin corp. I agree though that it’s not the best idea to duplicate so many times mainly because it removes potential strategizing that you would have to do. Because basically, unless you’re duplicating a really powerful Pokémon, having two of the same week Pokémon is Absolutely no challenge
Lance is clearly primarily a Dragon Egg Group Breeder, not a Dragon Elemental Type Trainer. This is why his Dragonites and Aerodactyls can notoriously know "illegal" moves - he has access to special breeding and training for dragons that he raises himself.
Juan is just sitting there in the waiting room. Personally, I feel that it’s a bigger crime with gym leaders double up on evolutionary lines like Misty using both a Staryu and Starmie when there were ten other evolutionary lines in Kanto (plus Vaporeon and Lapras). I’d replace her Staryu with either Goldeen, Psyduck or Horsea. Hell, I think it would be cool for when you rematch gym leaders after the post game, their teams include a Pokémon outside their type that matches their character, but only one.
The main problem with the Johto gym teams to me is Kanto itself. If it weren't for the return of that region in GSC, not only would the teams work slightly better, but the games wouldn’t feel as bloated, with more new pokemon to catch early on and gym leaders could add more to their team. If Gold and Silver was remade yet again, it would be best to include pre evolutions, regional variants, regional fakes, regional evolutions, and remove Kanto (and replace it with the islands in the post game from Fire Red and Leaf Green) so gym leaders could actually make a team that doesn’t feel lazy. (Example: Morty's team with Gengar, Misdreveus/Mismagius, Cursola, and Alolan Marowak) Maybe have the forms be available the same way Alolan forms can be traded on like in the Let's Go games. And mostly in gyms, I'd prefer it if there were some variety in the Pokemon themselves rather than having the new Pokemon entirely. I like the idea of Fidough being the last pokemon in the bug gym to terrastalize, but there might be some trainers who might forget what type it is, so having Teddiursa change could have a bigger impact and it makes sense, since bears love honey, bees protect honey, and that's it. My apologies if this was way longer than it should, but it is fun to discuss, as lots of youtubers have different ways as to fix different gyms, but I like your take on them.

If you are to have duplicates, I'd want them both to do different roles. For example, you could have both an Explosion/Destiny Bond Driftblim, and a Will 'O' Wisp+Hex Driftblim on the same team if you want. I think it's a cool idea to have two of the same species with different roles. Though I also think that Gym Leaders shouldn't just be shackled to their own region for Pokemon.
Saying Kanto perfectly nailed the gym leaders is just wrong, at least for RBY and FRLG. A list of changes that would work would be: Brock- No changes needed Misty- I like her team in LGPE, so I'll just change it for RBY/FRLG. Her trainers have Horsea, Shellder, and Goldeen. And even in RBY, you can fish in her gym for all of Magikarp, Poliwag, Goldeen, Krabby, and Psyduck according to Serebii. With so many options literally inside her gym, why both Staryu and Starmie? Having one is cool because it shows you an option for your team you can have later down the line once you get the good rod. However, both of them is just ridiculous. You could replace either, so here's what I'd do. If you go the route to keep Staryu, replace Starmie with Gyarados. It may be really strong for that point in the game (especially in RBY where its special is 100), but it'd be a nice challenge and it's only attacking moves would be Tackle, Bite, and Bubblebeam/Water Pulse (depending on version). If you replace Staryu instead of Starmie, give her Psyduck because it shows a different water type you'd get later down the line that also has Confusion for Bulbasaur, Bellsprout, and Oddish. Surge- Make his Yellow team his RBY team and you're set Erika- Another team I wouldn't change. It's not perfect and you do repeat a secondary type, but I do like the lineup. If you really want a change, I'd put Exeggutor over Victreebell, but the change isn't desperately needed Koga- I have some choice words for Koga. In RB/FRLG, he has 3 pokemon from the same evolution line when Kanto has 33 poison types. That is absolutely inexcusable. In Yellow, all of his three pokemon are from the same evolution line, which is still inexcusable. Make it his LGPE team or slap on something like Arbok, one of the Nido twins, or a water or grass and poison type to help against the ground type pokemon. With more poison in Kanto than water in Hoenn, this disgrace of a gym leader in gens 1 and 3 is appalling Sabrina- Both her RBY teams and her FRLG teams are awful. I'd argue there is no need for Kadabra even with her having a trade evo as her ace. Also, I get that Venomoth has a lot of psychic moves, but just no. Give Sabrina her LGPE team or swap something out with Exeggutor or Hypno. Blaine- Using two separate duplicate evolution lines is baffling when Kanto has such a strong selection of fire types. Make it his LGPE team and we're set. Giovanni- No Persian in any of his teams. I don't care if he's a Mafia leader. Second, why does he have both a Rhydon and a Rhyhorn in Red and Blue? Also, why does the Rhydon fucking devolve into a Rhyhorn in FRLG? Replace the Rhyhorn with either Sandslash or Marowak. Thankfully a lot of the fixes were just make these gyms their LGPE versions, but being the first gen still isn't an excuse when they had the much more possibility of variety
I agree with most of these besides when you change the teams to have duplicates, I like that you are prioritizing newer pokemon but I would prefer having some older ones over duplicates any day.
i like the video man keep it up! if i had to say one thing i definitely feel like there’s a lottt of repeated pokémon on these teams, like flannery having 2 numels AND a camerupt, or normal having 2 slakings and vigoroths when exploud and linoone are right there
So the design philosophy was to have them better represent the regions in which they are from. I hope this answers the question and if not please feel free to re-iterate as I will gladly answer
I feel like them using pokemon from their general area would be better, like the surrounding caves and routes instead of solely new pokemon, that way they feel like they interact more with the area, kinda like a professional of a trainer class. Though I agree with not rehashing completely older gen pokemon like Watson and that sinnoh rock dude. But I'm general I think gym leaders would be better if they represented an area and not a type.
If you want, you can give a Gumshoos to Lary. It is a Alola mon but the dex said that they came from other region to stop the Rattata peste, so we can assume that it came from Paldea. No other region had this pokemon
It'd be nice if more gym leaders had diverse teams or a theme not necessarily type based. Cynthia & Blue r good examples of this as they were strong & couldn't really be swept by one Pokemon
11:07 just to get it out there: they changed his team in platinum to Luxray, Raichu, Jolteon and an Electivire - you'd probably change the Raichu for something else but i had to say it after i realized l never seen Volkner use neither a Ambipom nor an octillery due to only playing platinum :)
I think letting Bugsy keep Scyther works While Scyther himself isn't Gen 2, his evolution Scizor is, so I say it still counts Same reason why i like to give Mismagius to Morty (HGSS) since it evolves from a Gen 2 Mon
I wouldve really liked to see move sets and levels for these updated teams but i still really liked this video! Though i feel norman shouldve gotten a linoone since he lends one to wally and Grusha should get a baxcalibur
I feel like while wanting new rep for aces is good, going like double ups on lines or even exact Pokemon out of not wanting to use old ones is the exact kind of thinking that normally these style of videos tear into as bad, lazy, and the thing that makes you question why they even used that type if they weren’t gonna give variety
I think honestly I'm mostly fine with Kabu's team since he does have a connection to Kanto. So I would have let him keep at least one Kanto mon and switching the other with a Carkol. So his team will consist of Ninetails/Arcanine, Carkol & Sizzlipede depending on the game
Thank you for your three comments!! Those help a lot to help get the video further out there!! Even though your commenting stuff sorta bashing everything I did it doesn’t matter cause that’s not how the algorithm works!! So in the end, I WIN
@@EganMediaVideosFreedom of opinion, but I don’t understand why you’re so against Gym Leaders using Pokémon outside their specialty. It makes their battles more challenging and gives them more coverage. Candice’s Medicham covers opposing Steel or Rock. Volkner’s Octillery covers Ground foes. Flint is significantly harder in DP due to his Champion-style balanced team.
My thoughts: - Give Bugsy maybe a Ledian instead of a Ledyba, also a Pineco instead of a Spinarak. - Give Falkner a Natu and Noctowl as his 2 Pokemon. - Give Pryce a Sneasel instead of Swinub, and keep the Dewgong and give it water-type attacks. - Give Norman a Spinda, Linoone, Vigoroth, Slaking, and Loudred - Give Valerie an Aromatisse: she has a Spritzee in the anime
I thought about that but then I’d have to change some teams up and almost ruin them, like Grants for example his was perfect and I feel like giving Mega’s that early would be over kill
That takes away the special and cool factor that only you and your rival have starters, besides what if you yourself had a combuskin and saw one being used, kinda ruins that special feel
Gen 1 there is lot of issues that could be fixed. Lets go did a great job for example. Misty is using 2 mons of the same line when water is one of the top 2 most abundant types. Koga using 3 venonats in yellow or 3 koffing line in red and blue when poison isnt the 3rd most reped type. Blaine could has 2 lines repeated when he has 3 other options that arent starters.
For Katy, she can KEEP Teddiursa because of the Ability Honey Gather. Iono can keep Luxio, I'm not Biased; but, her Tera Mismagius, while it matches Iono's appearance; you could've chosen ORTHWORM. It has Earth Eater and would be a good warm up for the Lurking Steel Titan Battle. Earth Eater makes Orthworm immune to Ground and an Electric Tera one is such a troll. Bronzong would've worked too with Levitate negating its weakness to Ground. For Clair, I suggest pulling a HGSS and switch out one of those Dragonairs for Gyarados.
I'd like to say what I did for the gen 2 teams because there are a few themes here that I feel are missed out on Falkner: Is perfect as he is in your video. Bugsy: I just gave him one Pokémon: Scizor. I think that if you move Houndour and Slugma to the cave right before Azalea, this is perfectly reasonable and is an introduction to Steel types like how Falkner was an intro to Dark types with his ace Murkrow. Whitney: She isn't just a Normal trainer. She wants cute pink Normal types to match her aesthetic. I think Clefairy is fine as a lead, it evolves from a gen 2 Pokémon so yeah, but I'd add a third member: Shiny Aipom. It's pink, it's cute, it's Normal type, and it's an introduction to Shiny Pokémon so you can understand what they are by the time you get to Gyarados. You can also replace Clefairy with Snubbull if you want pure gen 2 rep. Morty: replaced a Gastly with a Marowak both in reference to its lore revolving around death and birth (connecting to Morty's association to Ho-oh) and to its Alolan form! Though the latter makes no sense from a gen 2 lens. Chuck: tbh I just gave him Hitmontop and Heracross, his canon team should have been with Bruno from the start. Jasmine: Forretress over Scizor and that's about it. Skarmory time. Pryce: I gave him a Sneasel over a Swinub to avoid repeats and because Sneasel is just better. Clair: Yeah, this team is hard, but I went with an Ampharos over a second Kingdra, mainly because it was always meant to be a dragon type from what I heard. If I had to replace the other Dragonair... Pupitar. Tyranitar is plenty draconic if Aerodactyl is, that's for sure.
I don't agree with some changes where you removed a previous gen pokemon, who was under utelized in that gen, by giving the gym leader a duplicate of the pokemon they already own.
Gen I Gym Leaders "can't possibly get it wrong." Tell that to Koga in Yellow, who only uses the Venonat line in a region full of Poison-types. Also Jasmine has two Magnemite, no Magneton (despite both Magnemite being at their evolution level).
Make Raihan's fossil Pokemon hidden ability and give him a TTar so he can keep his sandstorm gimmick thanks to sand rush, coward (kidding lol, good video)
None of the gym leaders actually use the Mega Evolution gimmick in their gym battles, If i gave Valarie one then every gym leader would need one and that would just not work. I also wanted to focus on newer Fairy Types and not older Fairy Types but I do understand what you mean fully!!
What would The Diamond and Pearl leaders do? Rhyhorn Nosepass and leafeon for example are Platinum locked. You should have at least mention mentioned it.
My Teams: Pokemon GSC: Falkner: Hoothoot and Natu Bugsy: Ledian, Ariados and Scyther or Yanma Morty: Misdreavus, 2 Haunters and Gengar (maybe a murkrow if You wanna get creative) Chuck: Poliwrath, Primeape, Heracross, Hitmontop Jasmine: Skamory, Magneton, Scizor, Steelix Pryce: Delibird, Lapras, Dewgong, Piloswine Clair: Pupitar, Dragonair, Gyarados, Kingdra Pokemon RSE: Flannery: Keep the Slugma the original team was the best they could do Winnona: Replace the Swablu from Emerald with Swellow Tate and Liza: Solrock, Lunatone, Grumpig Claydol SV: Iono: Keep the team as it was i think pokemon diversity matters as much as regional representation.
Really disagree with some of your gen 4 fixes, Leafeon on itself has stats of an Ace pokemon, with 520 stat total and a 130 attack stat and 110 base defense and 95 speed, I feel like Leafeon + a Roserade is way too overkill for only the 2nd gym. Also disagree wuth you taking out Candice's Medicham, the medicham is supposed to represent Candice's relationship with Maylene ( since you literally encounter Maylene on the way to Snowpoint, and she explains taht she and Candice's regularly train together ) all in all i majorly disagree with the sentiment that gym leaders have to exclusively only use pokemon of their own speciality and aren't allowed to diversify
Alolan Ninetails, Galarian Weezing, Azumarill, Gardivoir, Mawile, Whimsicott, Carbink, Dedennee, XERNEAS, Shiinotic, Comfy, MIMIKYU, ALL THE TAPUS, Grimmsnarl, The Fidough line, IRON VALONT, they’re not all pink and cute buddy do ur homework
I think roark couldve gotten bonsly instead of nosepass since nosepass is roxanne’s ace and its the 1st gym and bonsly is the only other gen 4 rock type that isnt important Gardenia couldve gotten the grass type wormadam instead of leafeon because leafeon is way too strong this early, and give her cherrim instead of churubi Maylene should have a medicham instead of riolu since even though meditite evolves at lvl 37, it only has a 410 bst so it isnt bad, no its not a gen 4 pokemon, however its better than a baby pokemon
Honestly forcing gyms to only use types they are representing make for a really boring fight. Volkner was doing it right using an octillery with electric moves and water to counter ground types
Honestly for Iono I think Mismagius is decent, but could also picture her with a female Oinkologne or a Quaquaval bc I feel like they’re both entertaining and her whole thing is being an entertaining streamer. Anyway, awesome vid you should do one for the elite 4 of each region!
Not gonna watch past johto cause you’re not putting much thought into these. Whitney and Jasmine with those teams would be way too difficult, and Pryce would be a walk in the park
@@havoc9469 Ya don’t start with “not gonna watch past this point cause your not putting much thought into it” You also criticized a whole video while watching like 2-3 minutes of it, so I’m not taking it seriously
I do not understand what is the damm obssesion with giving the rock type gym leaders in gwn 3 and 4 THE SAME TEAM AS BROCK. You cannot tell me that Geodude and Nosepass isnt like saying Geodude and Onix, HOW THE HELL DOES ROXANNE, THE OWNER OF A DAMM MUSEUM NOT USE THE TWO HOENN FOSSILS. ROARK IS THE SAME CRAP, WHY NOT USE THE TWO GEN 4 FOSSILS?
Because the other fossil is Shieldon line, which is Steel type and there's a Steel gym leader in Byron, who is Roark's dad. So Roark isn't going to get Shieldon and Cranidos at the same time.
Why did you give? Candice a Snover even though she already has Abomasnow why not give her Froslas instead, since she did a dress that she actually has one
The intention of the video was fully missed with this comment, this was a fun what if hypothetical. Do I think some of these teams should be the ACTUAL TEAMS? Yes, I think Falkner, Bugsy, Wattson, Roark and others have horrible teams that had CLEAR answers as to what to do for their teams. But do I think a ALL OF my picks are the GOLDEN ANSWER? Fuck no!! It’s a fun hypothetical what if, and if that can’t be seen then. yikes!
@@EganMediaVideos in fact i cant. But adding unnecessary repeats to gordies and maileen wasnt logical: by giving repeats no new pokemon get spotlight, you just make the team less original.

@@miimiiandco This is a brilliant idea and kinda what I was thinking in my mind when I was adding duplicates in the first place
Wby didn't Valerie get to keep her mawile and have it has her mega evolver,? Also u missed givin olympia a mom who can mega
19:32 finally someone else realized how perfect the bramblin family is for Brassius
It actually drives me crazy they never gave it too him
THATS WHAT IM FUCKING SAYING!!! WHY DOES HIS HAIR LOOK LIKE THAT OTHERWISE!!!
Saying Kanto perfectly nailed the gym leaders is just wrong, at least for RBY and FRLG. A list of changes that would work would be:
Brock- No changes needed
Misty- I like her team in LGPE, so I'll just change it for RBY/FRLG. Her trainers have Horsea, Shellder, and Goldeen. And even in RBY, you can fish in her gym for all of Magikarp, Poliwag, Goldeen, Krabby, and Psyduck according to Serebii. With so many options literally inside her gym, why both Staryu and Starmie? Having one is cool because it shows you an option for your team you can have later down the line once you get the good rod. However, both of them is just ridiculous. You could replace either, so here's what I'd do. If you go the route to keep Staryu, replace Starmie with Gyarados. It may be really strong for that point in the game (especially in RBY where its special is 100), but it'd be a nice challenge and it's only attacking moves would be Tackle, Bite, and Bubblebeam/Water Pulse (depending on version). If you replace Staryu instead of Starmie, give her Psyduck because it shows a different water type you'd get later down the line that also has Confusion for Bulbasaur, Bellsprout, and Oddish.
Surge- Make his Yellow team his RBY team and you're set
Erika- Another team I wouldn't change. It's not perfect and you do repeat a secondary type, but I do like the lineup. If you really want a change, I'd put Exeggutor over Victreebell, but the change isn't desperately needed
Koga- I have some choice words for Koga. In RB/FRLG, he has 3 pokemon from the same evolution line when Kanto has 33 poison types. That is absolutely inexcusable. In Yellow, all of his three pokemon are from the same evolution line, which is still inexcusable. Make it his LGPE team or slap on something like Arbok, one of the Nido twins, or a water or grass and poison type to help against the ground type pokemon. With more poison in Kanto than water in Hoenn, this disgrace of a gym leader in gens 1 and 3 is appalling
Sabrina- Both her RBY teams and her FRLG teams are awful. I'd argue there is no need for Kadabra even with her having a trade evo as her ace. Also, I get that Venomoth has a lot of psychic moves, but just no. Give Sabrina her LGPE team or swap something out with Exeggutor or Hypno.
Blaine- Using two separate duplicate evolution lines is baffling when Kanto has such a strong selection of fire types. Make it his LGPE team and we're set.
Giovanni- No Persian in any of his teams. I don't care if he's a Mafia leader. Second, why does he have both a Rhydon and a Rhyhorn in Red and Blue? Also, why does the Rhydon fucking devolve into a Rhyhorn in FRLG? Replace the Rhyhorn with either Sandslash or Marowak.
Thankfully a lot of the fixes were just make these gyms their LGPE versions, but being the first gen still isn't an excuse when they had the much more possibility of variety
Maybe me ignoring Gen 1 wasn’t a good idea 😅
I agree with most of these besides when you change the teams to have duplicates, I like that you are prioritizing newer pokemon but I would prefer having some older ones over duplicates any day.
I love how you worded this comment, thank you for being very kind with it!!!
Good shit bro! Nice to see this blowing up and you getting more recognition for your work!
Aye thank you man I greatly appreciate it!!!
Gen 9 BAXCALIBUR line is ice type 🫠🫠🫠
I KNOWWWW I KNOWWWW I FORGOT 😭😭😭
This was put together really well, you’re going places on yt man!
From the bottom of my heart this means the fucking world to me, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I've always been a fan of Volkner's IDGAF team.
i like the video man keep it up! if i had to say one thing i definitely feel like there’s a lottt of repeated pokémon on these teams, like flannery having 2 numels AND a camerupt, or normal having 2 slakings and vigoroths when exploud and linoone are right there
I do agree with the Linoone line especially considering he gave one to wally for a little bit of time
3:01 Interesting thing is, she doesn't even have a Magneton.
Slip of the tongue
So... What exactly is the design philosophy of adding duplicates and pre evolutions to uhhh make them lose variety-
So the design philosophy was to have them better represent the regions in which they are from. I hope this answers the question and if not please feel free to re-iterate as I will gladly answer
I feel like them using pokemon from their general area would be better, like the surrounding caves and routes instead of solely new pokemon, that way they feel like they interact more with the area, kinda like a professional of a trainer class. Though I agree with not rehashing completely older gen pokemon like Watson and that sinnoh rock dude. But I'm general I think gym leaders would be better if they represented an area and not a type.
And i fully respect that opinion, its another good way to look at gym leaders and how they could be fixed honestly
If you want, you can give a Gumshoos to Lary. It is a Alola mon but the dex said that they came from other region to stop the Rattata peste, so we can assume that it came from Paldea. No other region had this pokemon
OH THATS GENIUS
back in MY DAY
BACK IN MY DAY WE ONLY HAD FRIENDSHIP AND EVOLUTION STONE EVOS
It'd be nice if more gym leaders had diverse teams or a theme not necessarily type based. Cynthia & Blue r good examples of this as they were strong & couldn't really be swept by one Pokemon
11:07 just to get it out there: they changed his team in platinum to Luxray, Raichu, Jolteon and an Electivire - you'd probably change the Raichu for something else but i had to say it after i realized l never seen Volkner use neither a Ambipom nor an octillery due to only playing platinum :)
Yeah Volkners whole “fixing” was meant to be more of a comedic one. I’m happy they fixed it in Platinum tho!!!
Honestly, some points I agree with, some, I think fits the gym leader very well regardless of type or region
And ya know what!! That's entirely fair!!!
I think letting Bugsy keep Scyther works
While Scyther himself isn't Gen 2, his evolution Scizor is, so I say it still counts
Same reason why i like to give Mismagius to Morty (HGSS) since it evolves from a Gen 2 Mon
I wouldve really liked to see move sets and levels for these updated teams but i still really liked this video! Though i feel norman shouldve gotten a linoone since he lends one to wally and Grusha should get a baxcalibur
I feel like while wanting new rep for aces is good, going like double ups on lines or even exact Pokemon out of not wanting to use old ones is the exact kind of thinking that normally these style of videos tear into as bad, lazy, and the thing that makes you question why they even used that type if they weren’t gonna give variety
After receiving a lot of comments like this, this one was prob the most well formed and overall structured!!! And I appreciate your input!!!
I think honestly I'm mostly fine with Kabu's team since he does have a connection to Kanto. So I would have let him keep at least one Kanto mon and switching the other with a Carkol. So his team will consist of Ninetails/Arcanine, Carkol & Sizzlipede depending on the game
No no he’s from Hoenn not Kanto!!
@@EganMediaVideos He's from Hoenn!!!, I swear I thought he was from Kanto I guess give him a Camerupt or a Torkoal instead
Give him a Torkoal for drought. Also, I feel like Raihan has a dual gimmick with weather as well as dragons.
looking back. you made alot of wrong choices. cause it was fun they included previous gens
Thank you for your three comments!! Those help a lot to help get the video further out there!! Even though your commenting stuff sorta bashing everything I did it doesn’t matter cause that’s not how the algorithm works!! So in the end, I WIN
@@EganMediaVideos what are you? light yagami?
@@johnny6187 Nah just making some guy on the internet look dumb. My guy this is not worth it, stop commenting and just leave
@@EganMediaVideos okay light yagami
@@EganMediaVideosFreedom of opinion, but I don’t understand why you’re so against Gym Leaders using Pokémon outside their specialty. It makes their battles more challenging and gives them more coverage. Candice’s Medicham covers opposing Steel or Rock. Volkner’s Octillery covers Ground foes. Flint is significantly harder in DP due to his Champion-style balanced team.
My thoughts:
- Give Bugsy maybe a Ledian instead of a Ledyba, also a Pineco instead of a Spinarak.
- Give Falkner a Natu and Noctowl as his 2 Pokemon.
- Give Pryce a Sneasel instead of Swinub, and keep the Dewgong and give it water-type attacks.
- Give Norman a Spinda, Linoone, Vigoroth, Slaking, and Loudred
- Give Valerie an Aromatisse: she has a Spritzee in the anime
Ngl these are some good picks!!
You can give grusha the pseudo of the region....plus you should have added a mega in xy
I thought about that but then I’d have to change some teams up and almost ruin them, like Grants for example his was perfect and I feel like giving Mega’s that early would be over kill
Me when I tell him about the frigibax line whom are also ice types:
Trust me I realized soon after posting XD
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna start seeing that quadruple Slakoth in sleep paralysis
Besides that, nice video
Thank you so much man I appreciate it
Instead of giving Brawly 2 Meditite, why not give him Combusken?
That takes away the special and cool factor that only you and your rival have starters, besides what if you yourself had a combuskin and saw one being used, kinda ruins that special feel
Nah bro. Grusha could use the pseudo. Idc if he is way stronger than altaria
I agree and someone else in this comment section reminded me that it existed
Gen 1 there is lot of issues that could be fixed. Lets go did a great job for example. Misty is using 2 mons of the same line when water is one of the top 2 most abundant types. Koga using 3 venonats in yellow or 3 koffing line in red and blue when poison isnt the 3rd most reped type. Blaine could has 2 lines repeated when he has 3 other options that arent starters.
"Gen 5 has literally nothing to fix" DAMN STRAIGHT BRO, UNOVA FOR LIFE 💯💯🔥🔥
U-N-O-V-A FOR LIVE BABY
Schmedia media
MR. BEES PATRICE KNEES!!!
For Katy, she can KEEP Teddiursa because of the Ability Honey Gather. Iono can keep Luxio, I'm not Biased; but, her Tera Mismagius, while it matches Iono's appearance; you could've chosen ORTHWORM. It has Earth Eater and would be a good warm up for the Lurking Steel Titan Battle. Earth Eater makes Orthworm immune to Ground and an Electric Tera one is such a troll. Bronzong would've worked too with Levitate negating its weakness to Ground.
For Clair, I suggest pulling a HGSS and switch out one of those Dragonairs for Gyarados.
These are some good suggestions I won’t lie
I'd like to say what I did for the gen 2 teams because there are a few themes here that I feel are missed out on
Falkner: Is perfect as he is in your video.
Bugsy: I just gave him one Pokémon: Scizor. I think that if you move Houndour and Slugma to the cave right before Azalea, this is perfectly reasonable and is an introduction to Steel types like how Falkner was an intro to Dark types with his ace Murkrow.
Whitney: She isn't just a Normal trainer. She wants cute pink Normal types to match her aesthetic. I think Clefairy is fine as a lead, it evolves from a gen 2 Pokémon so yeah, but I'd add a third member: Shiny Aipom. It's pink, it's cute, it's Normal type, and it's an introduction to Shiny Pokémon so you can understand what they are by the time you get to Gyarados. You can also replace Clefairy with Snubbull if you want pure gen 2 rep.
Morty: replaced a Gastly with a Marowak both in reference to its lore revolving around death and birth (connecting to Morty's association to Ho-oh) and to its Alolan form! Though the latter makes no sense from a gen 2 lens.
Chuck: tbh I just gave him Hitmontop and Heracross, his canon team should have been with Bruno from the start.
Jasmine: Forretress over Scizor and that's about it. Skarmory time.
Pryce: I gave him a Sneasel over a Swinub to avoid repeats and because Sneasel is just better.
Clair: Yeah, this team is hard, but I went with an Ampharos over a second Kingdra, mainly because it was always meant to be a dragon type from what I heard. If I had to replace the other Dragonair... Pupitar. Tyranitar is plenty draconic if Aerodactyl is, that's for sure.
I like some of these!!! Good picks!!!
I don't agree with some changes where you removed a previous gen pokemon, who was under utelized in that gen, by giving the gym leader a duplicate of the pokemon they already own.
Gen I Gym Leaders "can't possibly get it wrong." Tell that to Koga in Yellow, who only uses the Venonat line in a region full of Poison-types. Also Jasmine has two Magnemite, no Magneton (despite both Magnemite being at their evolution level).
That was not the point/topic of discussion for the video
Make Raihan's fossil Pokemon hidden ability and give him a TTar so he can keep his sandstorm gimmick thanks to sand rush, coward (kidding lol, good video)
Lmao thank you homie I appreciate it
Um, you had an opportunity to give a mega mawile to Valerie and you didn’t take it, not mad, just feels wrong.
None of the gym leaders actually use the Mega Evolution gimmick in their gym battles, If i gave Valarie one then every gym leader would need one and that would just not work. I also wanted to focus on newer Fairy Types and not older Fairy Types but I do understand what you mean fully!!
@@EganMediaVideosBut you gave Korrina, Clemont, and Wulfric Megas, so Valerie having a Mega Mawile would still make sense.
For Roark what about Bonsly? Real gen 4 pokemon that is stat wise appropriate and isnt used by anyone else
What would The Diamond and Pearl leaders do? Rhyhorn Nosepass and leafeon for example are Platinum locked. You should have at least mention mentioned it.

Jasmine has 2 Magnemite not a Magneton.
I realized that after I had uploaded the video and was like “pleeasssee no one notice 😅”
My Teams:
Pokemon GSC:
Falkner: Hoothoot and Natu
Bugsy: Ledian, Ariados and Scyther or Yanma
Morty: Misdreavus, 2 Haunters and Gengar (maybe a murkrow if You wanna get creative)
Chuck: Poliwrath, Primeape, Heracross, Hitmontop
Jasmine: Skamory, Magneton, Scizor, Steelix
Pryce: Delibird, Lapras, Dewgong, Piloswine
Clair: Pupitar, Dragonair, Gyarados, Kingdra
Pokemon RSE:
Flannery: Keep the Slugma the original team was the best they could do
Winnona: Replace the Swablu from Emerald with Swellow
Tate and Liza: Solrock, Lunatone, Grumpig Claydol
SV:
Iono: Keep the team as it was i think pokemon diversity matters as much as regional representation.
Really disagree with some of your gen 4 fixes, Leafeon on itself has stats of an Ace pokemon, with 520 stat total and a 130 attack stat and 110 base defense and 95 speed, I feel like Leafeon + a Roserade is way too overkill for only the 2nd gym.
Also disagree wuth you taking out Candice's Medicham, the medicham is supposed to represent Candice's relationship with Maylene ( since you literally encounter Maylene on the way to Snowpoint, and she explains taht she and Candice's regularly train together ) all in all i majorly disagree with the sentiment that gym leaders have to exclusively only use pokemon of their own speciality and aren't allowed to diversify
My only gripe is the duplicates and prevos. Id rather have a diverse team
I would of also given opal.alolan Rapidash instead of haterrene because opal clothes looks like rapidashes mane. But good video.
I agree.
What a distinguished gentlemen, a good take I must say
Bro why do you look 16?
A simple haircut does wonders
"shows that fairies arent just cute and pink stuff"..... they kinda are though
Alolan Ninetails, Galarian Weezing, Azumarill, Gardivoir, Mawile, Whimsicott, Carbink, Dedennee, XERNEAS, Shiinotic, Comfy, MIMIKYU, ALL THE TAPUS, Grimmsnarl, The Fidough line, IRON VALONT, they’re not all pink and cute buddy do ur homework
I think roark couldve gotten bonsly instead of nosepass since nosepass is roxanne’s ace and its the 1st gym and bonsly is the only other gen 4 rock type that isnt important
Gardenia couldve gotten the grass type wormadam instead of leafeon because leafeon is way too strong this early, and give her cherrim instead of churubi
Maylene should have a medicham instead of riolu since even though meditite evolves at lvl 37, it only has a 410 bst so it isnt bad, no its not a gen 4 pokemon, however its better than a baby pokemon
"Fruity nature?"

@@fabiangomez7853 I’d say it’s changed for sure, I never knew it used to be one. Huh, shows ya learn something new everyday
Honestly forcing gyms to only use types they are representing make for a really boring fight. Volkner was doing it right using an octillery with electric moves and water to counter ground types
U should’ve held on mawile for mega evolution
Honestly for Iono I think Mismagius is decent, but could also picture her with a female Oinkologne or a Quaquaval bc I feel like they’re both entertaining and her whole thing is being an entertaining streamer. Anyway, awesome vid you should do one for the elite 4 of each region!
Oooh those are good picks!!! And thank you so much!!! I greatly appreciate this so much!! And I’ll put it into consideration
Not gonna watch past johto cause you’re not putting much thought into these. Whitney and Jasmine with those teams would be way too difficult, and Pryce would be a walk in the park

You cannot tell me that Geodude and Nosepass isnt like saying Geodude and Onix, HOW THE HELL DOES ROXANNE, THE OWNER OF A DAMM MUSEUM NOT USE THE TWO HOENN FOSSILS.

THATS EXACTLY WHAT IM SAYING BRO!!!!
@@EganMediaVideos
I commented before getting to that part so I got ahead of myself, but I needed to let it out XD.
@@virtualcolt Aye homie your all good!!!
Because the other fossil is Shieldon line, which is Steel type and there's a Steel gym leader in Byron, who is Roark's dad. So Roark isn't going to get Shieldon and Cranidos at the same time.
Why did you give? Candice a Snover even though she already has Abomasnow why not give her Froslas instead, since she did a dress that she actually has one
Him- gen 6 blah blah blah mega evolve
Also him- let’s get rid of mawile even tho it mega evolves!
Eeeeh these ideas are not good in my opinion.
And that’s entirely fair!!
Candice Frosslass?
Xenophobia be like:
I would of made Yana bugsy ace so chuck can have heracross. If u give chuck the hitmons he to much like Bruno and thats boring.
Murkrow is too strong for the 1st Gym. I would give Falkner a Natu instead.
Why you give Tate&Liza somethig that weak as Chimeco, when you totally can use Gardevoir?
They were stupidly weak to begin with, at that point in the game if u have a swampert u could 1 shot them BOTH with a fucking surf
made raihans team Wack yea hes a dragon trainer but he specializes in weather effects
regular dragon leaders are a dime a dozen
Valerie
it doesnt always have to be new gen. if its one old gen. its fine. and it was fine. handful of bad choices here. yikes!
The intention of the video was fully missed with this comment, this was a fun what if hypothetical. Do I think some of these teams should be the ACTUAL TEAMS? Yes, I think Falkner, Bugsy, Wattson, Roark and others have horrible teams that had CLEAR answers as to what to do for their teams. But do I think a ALL OF my picks are the GOLDEN ANSWER? Fuck no!! It’s a fun hypothetical what if, and if that can’t be seen then. yikes!

Well then you must not be able to stand the games when they were the first ones to do it in the first place 😱
@@EganMediaVideos in fact i cant. But adding unnecessary repeats to gordies and maileen wasnt logical: by giving repeats no new pokemon get spotlight, you just make the team less original.
