Time for Galar's most unique gym with it's best gym leader (and even when Ballonlea changed gym leader, it still has the best gym leader). 0:36 - Indeed; it's certainly got the most character. A real British fairy tale. Could have done with more to do though, at least on the lead up to this place, but that's most of Galar. 3:26 - I don't think an eviolite is going to help the opposing Dottler against a 10+ level Corviknight. Gosh, so easy to overlevel in this game. 5:24 - An yet, that doesn't stop Hop from challenging you every other instance of meeting up with you. Marnie really feels underutilised compared to Bede and Hop (whose a tad overused, especially with rival battles). 8:14 - Maybe we could have some more pink if they didn't force us into the gym challenger uniforms every time. It's particularly annoying because you can buy the respective gym uniforms but not wear them during the gym challenge. 10:27 - Feels like this sort of easy question should have been given out earlier in the game. It'd be a great way to educate new players. Sixth gym though seems an odd place for a question purely designed to educate. 14:05 - Not this is more like it when it comes to questions. I think it's great that the game presents the region of Galar being obsessed with curry... except this one gym. 18:58 - Also, you've already gotten a buff from getting that earlier question right. Shame about losing some stats due to the intimidate though. 20:09 - Clever thinking here. Opal does like her tricks so good choice going with purple here. 23:41 - Doesn't really need to move when it's going to be destroyed instantly. 28:52 - I mean, Bede is one of the most interesting characters of this game. Funny, I can't remember the game straight up spelling out how well written of a character Bede is but here it is. 29:13 - Gosh, I love this cutscene. Best one in the game.

@@grinbrothers I love the Opal/Bede cutscene despite its strangeness.
