Coming back to this video actually made me realize something: most gym leaders probably should have mono type teams. Not for difficulty sake or anything, but for memorability. Between this and revisiting some fakemon region videos with type diverse gym leaders, the ones with mono types were far more memorable to me. Very often they lack an obvious through line to the teams, and often when the battle is the only role a gym leader plays, getting their personality across through their typing and team is great for that (like Whitney, Norman, and Larry are all Normal type leaders, but get across very distinct aspects of themselves through their team comp, like Whitney's love of cute mons, Normans sense of authority but hands off attitude, Larry being ordinary in that he uses the much more common Dudunsparse form). As a result, I usually only remember the ace on their team, if that. Meanwhile the fakemon stuff with monotype teams, I can usually recall a good chunk of them, and almost always I remember the ace. Diverse team gym leaders definitely have a place, but I feel they work much better as the exception than as the rule. Not to mention, I think it's more impressive that a trainer was skilled enough to reach a high position like that with only one typing, rather than have the inherent advantage of avoiding type overlap (and heck, that can be sidestepped by just smart team building through dual types and abilities). Heck, playing the gym leader fan game made me appreciate team building under those conditions a lot more so. I know this is something subjective, but that's just how I feel. (Note: teams that are mostly of a given type but have a member or two outside of it, but follow the same theming, like Kanto or some themed Champions like Lance, Steven, and Iris, I consider under the same umbrella. The theming the type gives is admittedly more important than absolute strict adherence.)

Since there’s been an entirely new generation of Pokemon since this video came out, here are some type diverse teams I feel the Paldea gym leaders would have First is katy: She keeps her ace Ursaring/Ursaluna and her Heracross, since heracross seems like it acts sweetly. Next she would have a Dachsbun, since she is a baker and it is a pastry. She would also have Arboliva, Klawf and Garganacl, all Pokemon with edible parts. Next is the artist Brassius. He would keeps his ace Sudowoodo which suits him perfectly. Next he would have Sunflora, seeing as it means a lot to him. I’d also give him Grafaiai, Kricketune and Tinkaton, since they all make art in one way or another. Finally will be Masquerain, due to it’s pattern on it’s wings. Next is Iono. And while i’m not a massive fan of her, her team was one of my favourites to come up with, as I imagine her using Pokemon that, much like herself, are very popular. She would keep her aces Mismagius and Bellibolt, and would also have Raichu, Sylveon, Charizard and Greninja. Raichu is the evolved form of the series mascot, and Sylveon is one of the most popular eeveelutions. As for Charizard and Greninja, while they aren’t in the Paldea pokedex, they are coded into the game, so I feel it’s at least justified. Next is Kofu. He would keep his ace Crabominable as well as vaultin Veluza. As for nee pokemon, he would have a Venomoth referencing his venonat wallet. And the others would be Rabsca, Farigiraf and Cyclizar. All pokemon that can be found between Cascaraffa and Porto madrida. Next is Larry. Since he doesnt have much going on. He would therefore use pokemon without much going on. He would keep his aces Staraptor and Flamigo, as well as Female Oinkolonge. Next he’d have Spidops since regional bugs aren’t often all too special, Vivillon (fancy style) since it’s a normal butterfly, and Lumineon since it’s a normal fish. Next is Ryme who I see using Sound based pokemon. She would keep Her Ace Toxtricity, as well as Houndstone since they appear at her concert. Next is Kricketune for hopefully obvious reasons, as well as Wigglytuff and Noivern. Finally she would have Electrode, representing the stage’s light up Pokeball. Next is Tulip. A beauty based character who would, logically, used beauty based pokemon. She keeps her ace Florges as well as Gardevoir, and she’d use Gothitelle, Arboliva, Alomomola and Froslass. All pokemon I feel she’s consider “Beautiful”. Finally is Grusha. He would keep his Altaria and Cetitan, and since he talks about the dangers of snowy mountains, I’ve chosen to give him “Dangerous” Pokemon. These being Gengar, Kingambit, Hydreigon and Hatterene. All Pokemon that could easily kill you, with more than one doing so on their own accord.

For Koga, I'd change it a bit myself, and the ones I kept might have different reasons Crobat - Stays as it's his ace Foretress - For setup and then Selfdestruct Kabutops - Instead of kunai, it's because of kusarigama, we're lacking the kusari but we got gama, speaking of which Poliwrath - Replacing Mikey's Hitmonlee as frogs are often adjacent to ninjas thanks to the Gallant Jiraiya Miltank - It has paralysis-inducing move and always carries a recovery item, its own milk Ditto - The ability to disguise itself as another pokemon being what puts this here, plus he already has two, technically three Johto pokemon, if possible more Kanto is preferrable Edit : Would add Octilerry if possible, but not sure where to slot in the ninja guns

My main criticism of this video is that there are a LOT of repeated Pokémon, namely Crobat and Machamp. I think it would actually be cool if they gave more gym leaders a Pokémon that doesn't fit their type specialty, just for the element of surprise. Or if they just had type combos that didn't all share the same weaknesses so you can't just click one super effective move to win.
@CynamminStyx2 жыл бұрын
I appreciate someone actually criticizing a video rather than "TOO MANY CROBATS, BAD VIDEO!!!". I feel like post gen 4 gyms could use conkelldurr in place of Machamp where it makes sense, and Price could use any other rideable Pokémon. gen 5 leaders with crobat could use Noivern, give that thats its home region (Or gen 6, I've never played either games)

I would love to see a game with Gym Leaders who have themed teams that aren't just single type teams! So like, as examples you used, a Gym Leader who solely uses the Pokemon found around their town, or a one who only uses beautiful Pokemon, or one who uses "loud" or sound-based Pokemon, or could help with cooking or some other hobby, but also things like Pokemon that all evolve from baby Pokemon or have a Halloween theme or are all the Gym leader's favorite color or seem like they could be from some medieval court. And honestly, my favorite might be Raihan's team. It might only be a small change, but I loved that you added in Rain and Hail Pokemon (hail yeah!). I also really loved your logic for Brock, Wallace, Juan, Lenora, and Elesa's teams; idk why but they really stood out to me and tickled me! :D

When I was creating a (hypothetical) fangame, I gave my gyms THEMES and not type specialties. The themes are: Childhood (think pokemon with baby forms, pokemon that bring to mind childhood games, and pokemon based off of toys, including Banette), Space (obviously a lot of psychic types, but also Minior, Clefable, etc), Royalty (pokemon with King or Queen in their name as well as pokemon linked to royalty like Aegislash), Seasons (since my region brings seasons back, this gym leader uses a rotating team depending on season, and a Deerling), "Forgettable" (basically pokemon that typically get overlooked), Science (pokemon linked to science, Porygon, Rotom, etc), Ninjas (she uses the Nincada line, but also dark types and fire types. Her ace might well be a Zoroark), and Rainbow (each of his pokemon are a different colour) They don't have specific teams yet since I have a lot of Fakemon so they'll probably have a bunch of those. Also the only one who has a set placement is the Rainbow leader, who is the last

@dreamfirefight94562 күн бұрын
I just thought of a few changes that do make perfect sense: 1. For Erika, I think she should have a Vaporeon. This is because in HGSS, you can get Eevee at the Celadon Game Corner, and I think she should have a water type to care for the gym plants. 2. Koga should have a Kangaskhan, since it not only represents his relationship with Janine, but also because it’s caught in the Fuchsia’s Safari Zone. 3. Assuming Fairy types count toward the previous gym leaders, Whitney can keep her Clefairy that gets evolved into Clefable. 4. Chuck could also have a Shuckle and/or Steelix. For Shuckle, you can get it by breaking rocks in Cianwood. For Steelix, it can be found in the nearby Cliff Cave in HGSS, which Chuck might go to sometimes. 5. For Winona, I have an interesting idea: According to an NPC in Fortree City, the houses have a drawback in that bug Pokémon can crawl into your house while sleeping. So maybe Winona got spooked by something like a Wurmple and caught it. In which cause Dustox might work.

@@GigachadHGDYDBHDB In theory, yes if you go with something like a forest theme (a lot of bug and grass types), but what about a city based around a power plant or factory? You could have electric (obviously), fire, steel, and even water types to represent pulling energy from water. As an added bonus, the water type could counter the ground type with which the other three share a weakness. I also think it would be more of a challenge than enter a gym, spam a super effective move, and win a badge.

I think it would be cool to have a Pokemon game with like, 16-20 Gyms, each of which has different things going on. So, there would be 20 Gyms, but you only need 8 badges, so you get to pick which ones you go for. This would make it more interesting for people like me, who replay the games a lot. Some of the gyms would be type specialists, others would be weather specialists, others might have other effects. Some of my ideas are: A gym that is constantly under the effects of Trick Room, where slower Pokemon move first. A gym that is constantly under the effects of Embargo, so you can't use items. A gym that is a bit like the Battle Factory, where you use a rental team. A gym where you have to put together a team from Pokemon it offers you. eg. You get offered three Pokemon, you have to pick one, then you get offered another three and you have to pick one, and so on, until you have a full team. A gym that is just rotation battles/triple battles. A gym where you have to catch Pokemon as you progress through the gym. Maybe the Gym Leader could be at the end of a Safari Zone or something. And I'm sure other people could come up with more options. I'd also like to see the gyms scale to the trainer's level, so that you can do them in any order.
