Some fun fact about Jasmine: According to her Pokemon Adventures GSC Arc, she was formerly a Rock-type specialist, using an Onix as her ace, then her Onix evolved into Steelix, a Pokemon that, at that time, was not documented anywhere by anyone. She handily defeated Brock using this unknown Pokemon in the Johto-Kanto exhibition series, prompting Prof. Oak to introduce the new Steel type into the mix.

It's actually very weird consider that Magnemite and magneton is in Kanto dex and they pretty much made of metal

You know, a cool idea for this series would be "What if Gym Leaders were based on Egg Group rather than type."

[@Naito115]

Having Gallade and Dragapult on the same team

[@joseguadalupemartineztorre9702]

I always wished Gym Leaders were based on Type Moves, so you can only make a team that can resist specific moves. Like Brock prefers Pokemon that can use Rock type attacks, so you get Pokemon that use Rock Throw(Gen 1) or Rock Tomb(Gen 3), so any Pokemon that can learn it can be on his team. Or Stat specific, like Brock is Phys Def, Misty is Spl Def, Lt Surge is Speed, Erika is Phys & Spl Def, Koga is Phys Def & Spl Atk, Sabrina Spl Atk & Speed, Blaine is Phys & Spl Ark, Giovanni is Phys Atk & Def. That way Brock has an Onix Kabuto, while Misty has Starmie & Omanyte

[@samuellawrencesbookclub8250]

With Norman, I think it'd be cool if his second type was grass, fire or water, depending on which starter the protagonist chose, being the same type as said starter. Thematically this works with him being the protagonist's father, and - if we are allowed to break the regional dex rule in this instance - it could be one of the Johto starters, either in middle or final form, to reflect the character's Johto regipn origins.

[@BusinessSkrub]

That would be awesome. Him tossing out a Meganium to throw up Reflect and screw with your team via leech seed, poison powder, etc to make Slaking safer would be really fun.

[@negligible_reality]

personally i'd have him use the type that's super effective against your starter; this adds more challenge since it effectively cripples your ace and forces you to use a more type diverse team rather than relying on your starter as a crutch, but it also works since he literally tells you in-game that he won't battle you until you've become stronger and makes you come back to his gym later after getting your first few gym badges. that would make it all the more satisfying to finally beat him imo since he initially turns you away for being too weak to battle him, and then he'd be incredibly difficult to defeat once you do finally get to him since he uses the powerful Slaking and other strong normal types (like Belly Drum using Linoone, for example), plus a strong Pokemon that's super effective against your starter. that would really ramp up the challenge of Norman's gym battle and make it really live up to the in-story hype, making the player defeating their father in a gym battle seem like an even bigger achievement while also giving you the satisfaction of coming out on top after an intense battle.

[@enigmatic2878]

I support the idea that Norman should take the type STRONGER than your starter. If he's about balance, teaching you to balance your team is a nice touch

Morty hot fix: He literally says he has Psychic powers in HGSS, give him Psychic types. Misdreavus, Haunter, and Gengar stay, but we also add Xatu and Drowzee. The Drowzee nods to his friend Eusine, who uses one. Jasmine, I think would work better as either Rock or Electric. Rock cause she used them before Steel type was discovered in the manga, and Electric because of both her Magnemite and because of the Ampharos she cares for. Pryce could be Ground because of Piloswine or Grass cause his middle name is Willow. Water still works best though.

[@samperez1727]

@funnyyoshi The reason Pinsir isn't used by any Kanto gym leader is because there are no Bug specialists, and Pinsir doesn't have a secondary typing. There are no Kanto/Johto gym types that overlap. That's because you take all 8 types from Kanto, and all 8 types from Johto to give you 16/17 of all known types back then (Dark excluded). It is intentional game design, because Kanto and Johto are directly connected by geography, so players should encounter every type of gym after traveling through both regions. They threw a bone to Dark types by making the strongest Elite 4 member (Karen) a Dark-type specialist. If Bugsy had been a late-game gym leader, he might have had both Scyther and Pinsir, but since he wasn't, you couldn't justify giving him both.

I have came here to tell you that i figured out some people have psychic powers and others don't.(I have dug way too deep into this) So to be clear I'm refering to how some trainer and other people can levitate their pokeballs and stuff while most other people don't. My original theory was that either they learned it later on or were just born with them. Sabrina claims on her gym dialogue that she has had it since she was a child. Which you would THINK that would mean that some people are born with said powers, however in her ending dialogue she mentions that "Everyone has psychic powers, they just don't realise it". Which further adds to the confusion. And ok, maybe Let's go isn't Cannon, there are some Inconsistencies with the lore and the fact that red is not the champion and instead your rival while Red is still known has the champion of Kanto. So let's check her dialogue in Pokemon Yellow, the most "cannon" Kanto game. Oh wait IT'S THE SAME DIALOGUE. So, this could only mean that Sabrina was either trained to use her psychic powers at a young age. And assuming her end dialogue is accurate, that means that people can learn how to do psychic stuff wenether they want. They just don't do it for an unknown, and honestly dumb, reason.

7:12 I like seel! Look at his face! He's so playful!

[@Flyingdurito]

EXCUSE ME MICHAEL, SEEL IS ADORABLE

[@SamiOwens]

Seel deserves respect!

[@netheriteswordstudios6178]

People definitely like Seel more than Dewgong lol

[@simulation2250]

​@@netheriteswordstudios6178 after the tragedy in the first movie?I don't think anyone likes Dewgong🤣

[@beauvogames]

This honestly would be a fantastic idea for a future game - you have 9 Gyms and each be dual-type to get the full 18 types. The strategies and tactics the Gyms could have with this extra flexibility would be amazing 😊

Id argue that Maractus, as one of my favorite pokemon, is NOT forgetable. It is a fun dancing cactus, what isn't to love?

[@silver_was_found]

Maractus is a lil cutie

[@simonrespeto]

It's stats, and also it's a little funky

[@byronstone386]

[@liveactionpudding5276]

[@manupm9161]

23:37 Grant is an athlete, like Marlon, by your logic he should be a fighting type...

[@DiscountBat]

Michael just doesn't miss with any of his videos. They're all interesting and very cohesive

[@ledja6974]

18:40 "you find the lilipup line twice in a row" sais the guy who put Machomp in like 4 Gyms in Gen 4... x.x

[@JY-CS]

I'm calling it there's gonna be a diamond pearl rant

[@Scribl-do-art]

Yup but only a small rant at candice

[@Scribl-do-art]

And also Vaulkner

[@youtube-kit9450]

To be fair, that dex was an atrocity and deserves every bit of hate it gets.

[@adamserafimfelix4190]

Mikey with the majority of gym leader changes (type adding not included): *game/anime thing that explains* Mikey with Brycen and Marllon (adds Lucario and Sawk): "I'M BLUE, DA-BA-DEE, DA-BA-DAE"

[@Lexi_HP_Pokemon_Kpop]

5:00 Whitney, URGHHHH got me rolling hahahahahahaha. I love how Mikey often expresses obvious dislike for Whitney it’s so funny

[@Mo-nq5nc]

I think Jasmine should be electric due to the Magnemites and Ampharos

[@kingxavierlovely]

You should one day do a "If every evil team admin had a full team of 6" video. That would be awesome!

[@paulnewton2284]

I've always wondered if Tulip was originally designed to be a Fairy specialist, but they decided to change her to Psychic when they wanted to have Ortega be the region's Fairy specialist instead.

[@zachpro5475]
