Very cool concept! I think some of the earlier gym leaders get a bit overshadowed because of their bad teams, so it's nice that you give them some recognition. I also really like your style, you earned yourself a sub👍
Exactly! The Gym Leaders from Galar and Paldea get so much more recognition because they’re just more interesting so I wanted to apply that to pretty much every character as much as I could.
This is something I’ve always wanted to see one of the games do, ever since I got to go to Kanto in HGSS and fight the Kanto gym leaders in any order I wanted for their set of eight badges on top of the eight Johto I understand that you face them in an order due to the main story, but even Platinum shifted DP’s 5th gym into the 3rd Would love to see what kinds of teams can happen if you fight the “first gym” for your eighth badge and everything in-between
This is great! In the future, I think this series could be enhanced bg explaining why you chose the specific Pokémon you did during the team explanations (such as you mentioning rotating Kabuto/Omanyte in early battles in this video, but for the whole teams, and specifying/repeating for viewers that aren't as familiar with Pokémon that they're fossils [in this case]). The explanations for the rematch and Elite 4/Champion teams are the kind of level I think would work brilliantly for the early gyms - though the anime explanations might be a bit harder to come by after Misty xd
Earned my sub just so that i could hopefully see this whole series. I always thought Brock should use "cave" pokemon. Paras and Zubat would be so good on his early teams to cover his water and grass weaknesses. I like how you made his e4 and champion teams more diverse. That makes so much sense. Cant wait to see Sabrina as an e4 member and Karen as the Champion!
I really like those thoughts about Gym leader teams based on badge numbers One suggestion of video would be if the gym leaders got an invite to participate in the Galar League. How they would make their teams with gigantamax in mind and their uniform.
I was thinking about this concept back when I got Pokémon emerald and leaf green back in the day. Even came up with 8 teams for each gym leader for all 3 generations at the time.
Some are complaining about having 6 pokemon as a gym leader/e4 but i think its a great idea and should have always been like that. It makes the battles more difficult and interesting, great idea!
I always thought it was pretty ridiculous that they have a big open world for Scarlet/Violet but the gyms, titans, and team star bases don't scale to your level, or at least the number of badges you have/how many titans you've defeated/how many bases you've raided.
I love the concept and I love your execution The only bad thing is that I wish this was per game (so like you do Kanto variants and give him only Kanto Pokemon, then there is Johto, then there is the remakes of Kanto and Johto with Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokemon allowed) And for anybody not in the first gen you would just do normal games and remakes
Thanks! Vid wouldn’t be as fun to watch for most people then. But there are reddit posts where someone did all that, go check them out if you’re interested
It’s just to make Pokemon a bit more difficult and fair, like I don’t feel that good beating Blaine’s 4 fire types with my 6 Pokemon team. Also, Katy’s the first gym leader in paldea and she’s got 3 Pokemon, so I’m keeping that trope the same throughout the series.
Watched this this morning before work - now to look back and see what I think after looking at it for a second! There's not a whole lot you can do with rock types in Kanto, but I think the upgrade for Rhyhorn to Geodude makes sense, swapping between Omanyte/Kabuto also makes sense, too. I think the one thing is that the 3 badges appearance, the power feels slightly imbalanced between Golem and Kabuto/Rhyhorn. Not sure if you could justify any changes to this one, it just feels a little weird pairing those two/three together. Only having Graveler there would make the team feel too weak, and there's not much else you could change, really. Anyway, that was the only thing, great teams. Bringing in Toxicroak was a great idea from the anime. 0: Onix / Geodude / Omanyte 1: Onix / Rhyhorn / Kabuto 2: Onix / Graveler / Omanyte / Rhyhorn 3: Onix / Golem / Kabuto / Rhyhorn 4: Onix / Golem / Omastar / Rhydon / Kabutops 5: Onix / Golem / Omastar / Rhydon / Aerodactyl 6: Onix / Golem / Omastar / Rhydon / Kabutops / Aerodactyl 7: Onix / Golem / Omastar / Rhyperior / Kabutops / Aerodactyl 8: SteelixM / Golem / Sudowoodo / Rhyperior / Blissey / Aerodactyl E4: SteelixM / Tyranitar / Sudowoodo / Toxicroak / Blissey / Aerodactyl CH: SteelixM / Tyranitar / Crobat / Toxicroak / Blissey / Aerodactyl
No, I think having Golem there’s actually a great pick. We probably should increase the strength of the gym teams since everyone’s pretty much crippled by their weaknesses. That power imbalance is probably a necessity.
@Atagu But then I think Kabuto especially is just too weak. The problem isn't golem really; they just feel too far apart in power level to be in the same gym. There's no other good 3 stage line that really fits unfortunately; i think a middle stage pokemon (like Wartortle on Misty) would be great here if one existed.
I rarely ever like when people give diverse teams to gym leaders cause they never make sense. But this was awesome!!! I love the anime, so keep it up like this, and I'll stay watching :)
@Atagu I know giving a full move list would be a bit time consuming, but have you thought of at least giving each gym leader a signature move? We see this idea used in a few games of the series.
I think Omanyte for the 0 badge team is a tad too hard for a Water Starter player since by thus point, they would barely have any additional options against it unless one knows to snag a Mankey ahead of time. Swapping Omanyte and Kabuto would probably be a better choice.
This was a great video and I love the way you went the route you did for the diverse team and changing things up if he was a different stage gym leader 😁😁😁 keep up the great work and can’t wait to see the others you come up with
@ he’s a former champion, plus he doesn’t have a singular type speciality. He’s the exception. Plus, it’s the same for him in GSC, so yeah. He’s the exception.
@ I’m aware but you original comment was a little vague and while yes he is a former champion is he’s still canonically the 8th Gym Leader and uses 6 Pokémon
@ Once you are correct in him being the 16th Gym Leader you fight but also once again your comment was too vague. You didn’t specify a particular region
Hey great video! Love this idea and content series. (I work in advertising, take this advice or dont your call, try and stretch the vid out to the 10 minute mark every chance you can, your content is excellent especially for someone w only 1K subs. You deserve the boost the youtube algorthm would give you by getting the full 10 min of watch time.) Keep up the great content
For Giovanni, there’s no story point for him to be the first gym leader, unless it’s an alternate story in which he’s still not in Team Rocket. But following the real game story , his gym is unlocked after the Sylph Co raid , so you can have already 5 badges if you went for Koga, or 6 if you also went for Sabrina; of course there should be an event in the story that tells you he is the Viridian City gym leader so you can go to him as your 7th leader before Blaine. Also, in Pokemon yellow he tells you he was to take a break and retrain his skills as trainer to be a better gym leader (I don’t know how the police hasn’t got him yet after Sylph raid even because the Interpol was after him.. but whatever), he’s a reformed man so his rematch team should really showcase “a world of pain” For Blaine: there’s no reason for why he should be the first, Surf is learned by high stage high level Pokemon so pretty much nothing you can afford at the beginning, and also.. of all the places, why you want to go to Cinnabar island? The only reason for how he can be your first gym leader is that you’re born there on Cinnabar island and he’s your Oak and Brock .. but then you most probably have a water Pokémon and just destroy him like you do with Brock with Squirtle or Bulbasaur
I’ll give them those teams anyway. It’s not like I’m making teams just for the player to challenge, it can be like trainers before the player existed where Giovanni’s gym wasn’t locked can challenge him. Don’t overthink it man, just a concept. Just removing those teams for these guys takes some of the fun away.
@@someonehavinganidentitycrisis Yeah, that happens to me too sometimes. I'm guessing you were on a short for Part 6 before you came here? That's how it usually happens for me.
@@Hijiri_MIRACHION, it was a tumblr post rating bands by how accurate their name was. Foo fighters was 0/10 or 10/10 because they've never seen a foo so the band is either doing a good job or fighting something that doesn't exist
So glad to be getting in on the ground floor of this series, can't wait for more!

it's CRIMINAL that you don't have more views or subscribers this content is so fun and original
Yep
I just subd it's the first video I've seen so far
I've been saying for years that this is how an open world Pokemon game should work.

Also uses the phrase anytime a nurse joy of officer Jenny is in the vicinity

I always love videos like this, if you do one for every gym leader it would take a quite a while, but I guarantee SOOO many people would watch them!!!
Lil preview just for you, I’m also gonna give Elite 4 Members Gym Leader Teams 👀
I think this would be great for gym leaders with bad teams like pryce. Since they'd be early, they wouldn't have repeats
I really like those thoughts about Gym leader teams based on badge numbers
One suggestion of video would be if the gym leaders got an invite to participate in the Galar League. How they would make their teams with gigantamax in mind and their uniform.
Randomly found this on my feed and I’m already intrigued! Can’t wait to see you do the rest, this is gonna be a long series
I was thinking about this concept back when I got Pokémon emerald and leaf green back in the day. Even came up with 8 teams for each gym leader for all 3 generations at the time.
this goes so rock hard lmao pumped for the series
Some are complaining about having 6 pokemon as a gym leader/e4 but i think its a great idea and should have always been like that. It makes the battles more difficult and interesting, great idea!
Thanks! The reason’s ultimately because it’s a kid’s game and it can’t be too hard. Plus, some of the best Pokemon games are the hard ones, like BW2.
@@Atagu completely agreed
I hope they do this, I've wanted them to do this for YEARS!
They won’t, unfortunately. The target audience are children, even though mostly adults play though.
AWESOME video, I’m gonna go watch the next ones! I would have replaced aerodactyl with ninetails for the champion team.
Ooh, I could’ve said since he was given one by a girl in the anime, he’d cherish it
You earned a sub for using "pause" at some very crucial moments 😂
This is an amazing idea, i would love to see more from this series! Great video 🌟

I think rhe dry skin on toxicroak would be very useful

Yeah, they really designed it that way since you can’t fly to the stronger places without travelling there and arriving at the weaker places first.
I loved this video! Got so engrossed in it! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do! 🫡

i love the format of this video!

Unsure about the team member count scaling so soon (reckon its fine for a 1st gym to use 2 for example), but I like the team progression here.
It’s just to make Pokemon a bit more difficult and fair, like I don’t feel that good beating Blaine’s 4 fire types with my 6 Pokemon team.

No Eighth Gym Leader has six Pokémon. Only the champions do.
Blue does in heart gold and soul, silver and he is the eighth and final gym leader before you take on red who is the secret boss

Alright, next video is 10mins long.
I’ve learnt a bit just now, thanks.
You mentioned Crobat’s resistance to Grass but not Fighting and Ground which also wreck his Rock types.
True aye, I forgot
I’m just gonna say , only Remach and champion should have 6 , no gym leader or elite 4 ever had a team of 6 max is 5
Because the games are designed for kids. Can you really call them the “Elite 4” if they don’t even have a full team?
@@Atagu I mean... We've been calling them that for years
It's ok to not have 6 as a leader. But you should use the same amount of Pokemon as they do

amazing vid bro i jave a suggestion like make it more indepth like what moves they have and etc. keep it up definitely watch it with other gym leaders
