Top 10 Pokémon Gym Leaders

[@strongside4565]

I really wish there was a pokemon game where after you beat the main story you could become a gym leader and go to your gym whenever you want just to await challengers. Being able to theme your own gym and pick a type would be awesome and having some genuine challenge after the elite four would be a nice change of pace.

[@danking4008]

+Randy “Macho Man” Savage There Is !!!! check out Pokemon Zeta , the game is hands down the best pokemon game (fan made that is : credits to suzerain) will take about 40-55 hours to complete in entirety , and isnt a walkover that forces you to grind and has pokemon till the 6th gen . You can set up your own Gym after the main storyline

[@notkyle6969]

+Dan King what does it cost?

[@strongside4565]

Kyle Harbeck It is free. I downloaded it on his request and it kicks ass. It is much more difficult than a standard pokemon game however.

[@notkyle6969]

Is it worth downloading

[@danking4008]

Kyle Harbeck Yes it is! Im currently playing through Pokemon Insurgence , the second game made by suzerain , which is still a WIP (Only 5 gyms till now) , but is constantly updated with newer releases on their subreddit , if you want a complete game go for zeta/omnicron else if you want newer features and stuff insurgence is great

[@crazedclone7730]

I always thought it would be cool if in the game your father was kept in secret the entire time, but, he ends up being the champion.

[@Kingkixmw3]

That actually would've been amazing!

[@arse9086]

CrazedClone you mean have Pokémon with a star wars ending

[@norsegoat1408]

@Zxylo 5 YES!!!!

[@pokemonlemons]

That would be pretty cool, especially if the Champion had bigger role in this journey

[@raiyanrazni]

6 years and game freak still hasn't thought about this smh

[@maaxwell4844]

I always thought a theme instead of a type would be awesome in gyms. Like a knight who uses a Salamence and Escavalier, or a soldier who uses Octillery and Forretress.

[@norsegoat1408]

Awesome idea!

[@mallardduckjrh8048]

Cool

[@rory6281]

Maybe wikstrom can be a gym leader somehow

[@natureisneat8262]

Raihan says hi Edit: just to be clear I know this was written before he existed

[@MrOrangehorseman]

"While most women in Pokémon are cute, quiet, and reserved..." *(shows a picture of Flannery)*

*And Korrina*

[@LolliPopGirlMeow]

+Syrup the Dutch Angel Dragon Hapu too, if Kahuna counts :v

[@LolliPopGirlMeow]

+LolliPopGirlMeow also I know this video date :v

[@Dman13579]

MrOrangehorseman Yo I think that both Skyla and Flannery are hot chicks 😏

[@zexionfan15]

JWittz: She makes bad puns. That's an instant JWittz Seal of Approval. That explains why he's good friends with Chuggaaconroy.

[@timaeus22222]

You mean... a JWittz Spheal of Approval? ;)

[@boxiannn]

timaeus22222 *Seel

[@jkestang9517]

They are friends

[@douglaspaulson5370]

One of my favorites is Jasmine, her team is badass and she is one of the few leaders to actually do things for her town. I think the gym leaders are essentially town mayors and she's one of the few that gets involved in her town.

[@Bravidunno]

In the French version, Lt Surge gives you an english Pikachu.

[@Alex-yy5wo]

AntiHoodBravi 😂😂

[@skeletonking2501]

So a pikachu from Galar?

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Hmm...that’s similar to the guy in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum who trades you the German Magikarp Foppa and upgrades your Pokédex to display entries in different languages whenever you receive a Pokemon from someone who plays non-English versions of the game

[@boxiannn]

Isa Flores Galar is based on Britain so the English Pikachu might originate there. Just like how his French Pikachu might originate in Unova.

[@samuelstannard730]

@@boxiannn you mean Kalos.

[@Rexodiak]

Alright Raichu! Give it a DUNDA BOLT!

[@CluelessAnon]

I can't help but imagine Blane wearing a Foxy Grandpa t-shirt on his days off.

[@gamercadance8720]

lol when JWittz said "Whose your daddy? Norman's your daddy!" that is true for me! My dad is named Norman (Norm for short)! So whenever i start a fresh game in Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald i always choose the female protagonist of the game, name her Kenzie (cause my real name is Mackenzie and my actual dad calls me Kenzie) I do that with my character to make it feel more realistic to me when i play the game! :D

[@hiramvargas7131]

Gamer Cadance 👍🏻

[@0rnami]

Nice!

[@WinVisten]

I have a friend who created an OC named Kenzie XD

[@CressMC]

The point of having gym leaders with certain types is to get players to diversify their teams by the time they reach the elite four (:

[@auroram5853]

Would have loved to hear about Jasmine, I always thought she was really interesting.Especially her dedication to the Ampharos in the Lighthouse, and her unexplored past training Rock types before switching to Steel.Also Morty, the man just oozes with mystery.

[@Kikiyume]

Roxie's spirit is unparalleled and even though she is kind of easy, she is amazing as a character. She also gets way more competent in her rematches. The messages she gives about rebelling against the norm are very important. She is the only character who has ever touched me as a player. By comparison, this entire list is comprised of cool trainers who did cool things. That's... about it.

[@ShadeWolf09]

"Crushing an entire team with one type advantage" Meanwhile, I beat Winona from Gen 3 with one Vigoroth who could only deal damage with Focus punch and rocksmash. Proudest pokemon I've ever had the pleasure to train.

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Blaine’s original design in concept art for Red and Blue had him in military attire, but this was changed to a lab coat so he couldn’t be as easily confused with Lt. Surge. The concept art also helped inspire his design in the anime

[@zackg5223]

I absolutely hated how Claire threw a bitch fit when you beat her. She was just sooooo entitled. It's pretty silly to complain about pixels, I know, and especially in a series that I love, but when I get to Claire in game, I always get so frustrated because she basically calls you bad even though you just beat her.

[@fish4mepl0x]

Zack G Typical salty game player. They win: "You suck." They lose: "You suck, noob, get outta here."

[@0rnami]

"It's pretty silly to complain about pixels" It's not silly or hard to understand. Those pixels were arranged in a very specific way to represent something real.

[@michaelwilliams7140]

"You beat me. Now do this to get what you deserve." Should be kicked out of League

[@solaris_knight99]

Yeah, she gets her cheeks clapped and she won't give you the badge until you beat that BS Dragon Challenge, Lance atleast was honurable when he lost

[@kevinyoung2372]

i lost to whitney like, 80 times because of that miltank...

[@cocoycaraig4909]

i only lost 2 times, but it felt like a thousand. because of miltank. but when i beat her, this made me believe more in my onix. because rock slide trumps milk drink which trumps dig.

[@HeroLink18]

Kevin Young i literally lost about 3 or 4 times

[@bomb3389]

Kevin Young i won first time against whitney only cause of dratini..... but clair on the other hand.......

[@kevinthextreme1]

Heracross killed her

[@Ya_alm]

Guys just use heracross raise it to level 19 because it learns brick break

[@lancecho628]

Am I the only person who didn't have a hard time with Whitney's battle?

[@Zackattackplayspokemon]

I didnt, and I was a kid who just agressively killed stuff with my starter, totodile in that game

[@Hydrazilla98]

I used a female Heracross on Whitney. That thing took her down with three brick breaks

[@AndrewKS86]

+Hydrazilla98 yeah Heracross kicked whitneys ass haha. Still took me a couple of times, but I got through easier than most.

[@prestonm-f382]

It was easy for me.

[@prestonm-f382]

However, Morty was so annoying to me.

[@King_Gum]

my favourite is volkner. the dude is so powerful he gets bored of beating all his challengers. and then decides to remodel his entire gym. not to mention he uses my third favourite type, and he has an awesome design

[@oluftheexplorer9476]

Koga is a ninja. ... oh ... you wanted me to elaborate on that? Simply brilliant.

[@hughplatt4002]

Here's how I beat Whitney: I used rage with my croconaw on clefairy again and again until it was max. Milktank came out. Milktank locked into rollout so it couldn't heal (lol). I two hit it. My croconaw was so overleveled.

[@thousandyardgavri2785]

You came in overleveled which is what most noobies wouldn't do because falkner and bugsy are just too easy. She definitely deserved her reputation.

[@commakand1844]

My first game was a used Sapphire. Unfortunately, I was a complete newbie who had no idea how types worked... so I had trained up a Pelipper... then, I met Wattson... *shudders*... then, in my brilliance, decided to train up a Gulpin/Swalot to fight him, when he had a Magneton... *slams head against wall*.

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

Whitney's Milta- OH GOD THE GOLDENROD GYM FLASHBACKS! >_< Attract! Rollout! Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! So much flinchiiiiiiiing! SO! MUCH!! FLINCHIIIIIIING!!! D:

[@Underworlder5]

IAmMissingnoMaster i had to get a feraligatr just to beat that miltank. hey, i couldnt just get an awesome fighting type early on like i did with brock on firered

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

An awesome way to beat the Miltank of Death in Crystal is, buy a Wobbuffet at the Game Corner, and once it's gotten up a few Rollout uses, bring in Wobbuffet. One good Counter and Miltank is down in one hit.

[@Quark983Music]

IAmMissingnoMaster i one shot whitteny's miltank in silver and soulsilver with a headbutt critical from my lvl20 croconaw

[@nyromath2195]

Lol I wasted Whitney on my first try.

[@vipahhn00dle30]

+Thunder Squeak same did you use a steelix like I did?

[@Masherful]

Lt. Surges gym, Took many tries to solve the puzzle. Twitch Plays Pokemon, Took 1 try.

[@charlest9486]

It is a french pikachu because the pokemon war is world war 2. in pokemon x and y, they talk about a pokemon war. This could mean that kalos (france) and kanto (japan) were at war with each other. It would also make sense that unova (america) was part of the war, due to the war with terrakion, virizion, cobalion, and keldeo. This is most likely to be WWII because of all of these wars.

[@aryantiwari2167]

can you also tell which place is HOENN and SINNOH

[@theq4602]

dern

[@brendanfleming9917]

But didn't the war mentioned in XY take place something like 1000 years prior to the events of the game?

[@DCsGamerAdventures]

except x and y's war was 3000 years before... Unless Surge is EZ in disguise

[@kingcobra429]

Zoe Doran But then you have to account with the whole 2 dimension thing that the delta episode throws on you (spoiler alert!)

[@pacgabe99]

*Knows pun is coming up* *rips headphones off*

[@FranzoOnLine]

LT Surge has a French Pikachu because in all other languages it was an American Pikachu, put there to unlock its English pokedex entry. An American Pikachu in an English game wouldn't be foreign...

[@EpicGamerzism]

Jasmine will always be my favorite, a shy girl who has trouble talking to people and dedicates time taking care of the Ampharos in the lighthouse, but then trains a badass Steelix

[@E1eiE1]

what if Lt. Surge's pikachu is french because it is from Kalos, which might mean that he took part in the WAR between Kalos and the other region??? :O IT ALL MAKE SENSE NOW AND MAYBE HE WILL APPEAR IN THE SEQUEL OF POKEMON X&Y

[@Animalfan1555]

oh sweet mother of god mind blown

[@Thorozak]

You should also do top 10 Elite Four members JWittz :) also my favorite gym leader is Jasmine because to me she's the most caring Gym Leader not battling until you help her nurse a Pokemon back to health then that Steelix... When I first played Silver that Steelix made my jaw drop because I had never seen something as cool as it before :) and it's tough to take it out

[@theunundunly5368]

Drayden is definetly the best Gym leader in my opinion because he wrestles with his own Pokemon!!!

[@ladylunaginaofgames40]

so does the new professor in Aloha

[@Koishi_Komeiji]

draeden is my favourite too

[@SMAnthonyW]

the fact that all gym leaders (except blue) are type-themed is something i never realized before. pokemon can easily move onto different kinds of themed gym leaders, like themes based on appearance (ex: cute, tough), themes based on habitats (grassland, jungle, mountainous), themes based on colour, size, lore, etc....

[@coopercobb8867]

Irene's Tunes how did you never know that?

[@memphisp5003]

Volkner being bored does not make him emo and in the anime he was so cool. He is just striving for more in the games because battling has become boring to him, like when your training in the grass. We all know the feeling of boring battles. Volkner was thinking of taking on the E4 and Elisa wins because SuperModel, which is great and all but I feel Volkner should join her on this list.

[@TheRealHelvetica]

My favorite Gym leader has to be Valerie. She's cute, into Fashion, completely wrecked my Dragon/Dark/Fighting team, and wears those horrible contact lenses that make her eyes look empty and devoid of a human soul.

[@mastermindcow6210]

You sure those are contacts? Fairy Girl NPCs have those weird eyes, too.

[@justinshepherd3098]

THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK HE SHOULD DO A TOP TEN TRAINER TYPES! (Like Ace Trainers, Blackbelts, Roughnecks, and youngsters

[@norsegoat1408]

I always felt bad for the youngsters

[@remx4341]

I like how in black and white, every gym leader ends up helping you through the game in one way or another. Except for the Striaton leaders. They don't do anything.

[@Sootielove]

If it wasn't only according to games I would have chosen Falkner. He's a badass policeman and, let's face it, he's hot.

[@austinrutledge2766]

Clair was better

[@EliteAceOfSpadesTV]

Austin Rutledge HER FUCKING KINGDRA SADIF [ASDDSAD

[@Darkthedirewolf]

I agree! Falkner is badass...and hot. ^-^ He's my favorite too. And wasn't Falkner in the games at one point? I've seen images of sprites for him. ._.

[@ButterSoldier2003]

He was in Heart gold Soul silver. He's badass but rly easy to beat

[@Darkthedirewolf]

ButterSoldier2003 Yea. Shame. They could've made him a bit harder to beat.

[@IamshinyCM]

damn I really wanted Skyla to be on this list...

[@Revallc]

Erikas Jasutis skyla is ugly

[@HippoPig21_is_awesome]

+Erikas Jasutis She has some legit airbags.

[@braedensprinkle8912]

She is just there for lueroi

[@Revallc]

eww skya is gross

[@mastermindcow6210]

She's strangely negligent with her Gym. According to BW2, people have gotten injured in Mistralton Gym.

[@SmallHalfBeard]

Maybe Surge has a French Pokemon because he fought in a war and Nintendo/Game Freak was referencing World War 2 or creating some kind of parallel between World War 2 and a Pokemon war

[@Feepis]

Im just gonna drop my favorite leaders here, although it being top 5: 5. Marlin: He's just super chill 4. Giovani: Enough said in the video 3. Roark's Father: He's tough as nails but i cant remember his name 2. Brycen: Lets talk about a flamer for a second 1. Claire: Lets talk about BAE status tho

[@dragongrrl3]

Hey what if you did a top ten worst gym leaders, to balance out the top ten best ones?

[@madhatter1110]

Lt. Surge? You fucking serious? No gym Pissed me off more than his.

[@93gorgo]

Agreed

[@danielchen4472]

Yeah, so frickin annoying

[@InfiniteCorps]

Koga was the first gym leader who managed to get me to break 3 gameboys

[@thidajulien3187]

._.

[@hiphopstrongman]

Thida Julien Lol, agreed. Koga is easy as piss. He is raped by Psychic in every game.

[@InfiniteCorps]

The Notorious J.O.E. I'm talking about his gym...his and lt. surge's gym.

[@kaelanmcalpine2011]

Joseph Brooks and if you don't have psychics, use special attacks, at least on Koffing and Weezing.

[@antanasmcmullen8868]

sabrina- one of my best memories was finally beating her after grinding so much to get my pokemon high enough. shes interesting, and was the first really challenging gym leader for me. thats my reason for wanting her on this list.

[@StrelitziaVA]

i have one question for Lt surge did you ever use a voltorb as a grenade

[@fish4mepl0x]

Considering he's an American gym leader, probably. xD (And yes, I'm an American. Some Americans do some pretty crazy stuff.)

[@StrelitziaVA]

***** im merican too

[@jakeb4569]

He did in the Pokemon Hard Mode comic.

[@StrelitziaVA]

Krispy Bacon yes called it XD

[@momoglass3279]

I have this conspiracy theory where all the Electric Gym Leaders are related. Lt. Surge is the father, Volkner is the son, Elesa is the cousin, Clemont and Bonnie are the younger siblings and Wattson is the grandfather. Also they all have blond hair, except Elesa in Black and White 2 and Wattson, he probably had blond hair when he was younger though.

[@norsegoat1408]

good theory!

[@olavjorvik94]

Plot twist: your mom is the mom. Lt. Surge is your brother. Norman is your step dad, and The old Winstrate lady with the Meditite is Wattson’s ex-wife. Or present wife, whatever works haha

[@darkster6044]

I actually beat whitney on the first try

[@wyethleon]

She's really easy to beat.

[@darkster6044]

yeah idont get why she is so annoying

[@DanMan5000]

Vaati Reborn go their with male pokemon at the same level at her's if you don't know how annoying she is your not a true pokemon fan

[@darkster6044]

all i did was rage with my croconaw and i beat her no sweat

[@SelflessResurrection]

For kids she is hard to beat (myself included when I was one). I played it again during my late teenage years and beat her no sweat. I mean if you beat her when all you cared about is attacking with no tactics then I guess you were lucky that you beat her on your first try.

[@zach2269]

You've made me not only appreciate Cynthia more, but as well as Claire and Elesa as well! Thank you sir! ^^

[@micahturner6239]

Lol " his outfit is just Pimpin" hahaha that was great

personally, my whitney was gardenia. THAT ROSERADE!

[@idontevenknowatthispoint3610]

Same. I picked turtwig ;(

[@logoo789]

I got piplup, who I love, but he is severely weak to grass.

[@frankyquilavafireblast895]

I know right

[@logoo789]

finally. someone who doesn't think gardenia was perfect.

[@computerd1039]

Oh God, finally! Someone who have the same fate as me! Lost to her several time because my starter is Piplup, need to grind for like two freaking hours and THEN I can beat her. So freaking annoying...

[@cheemang3834]

I agree with Whitney, when playing pokemon crystal I literally raged when her Milktank showed up.

[@huh3535]

I one shot her milktank

[@sirmurford2737]

Koga's a ninja. Yep, nuff said.

[@geliscon]

I like how Blue is rocking out with completely purple pants and purple wristbands and he just stands there with his collar popped and his ultra ball asking "yeah, I've got style but what are you going to do about it?"

Thumbs up those who got Charmander for the first time and lost against Brock and Misty at least once.

[@caaltaes732]

I played blue on pokemon stadium and choose charmander but also load and lv20 evee from stadium so i had no problema at all, then evolve evee to jolteon at the end

[@TTRPGSarvis]

I remember beating Brock's Onix with Pikachu in Pokemon Yellow. Good Times.

[@Liviu2995]

Yeah indeed.

[@sckroob]

I don't remember having trouble with Brock but Misty sure as hell a challenge. I had to be sent back to the Pokemon Center over and over and over. The only reason I won in the first place was because Misty used X Defend when I would've been defeated. That was the greatest moment ever.

[@Liviu2995]

Misty is badass :)

[@daffyty1164]

i loved all of these gym leaders especially Voltner i love him the best

[@Tropic_Thunderzz]

What about Misty? Her water Pokemon were great, and with Charmander as a starter I found her difficult to beat! Even with a pikachu. I guess it's her Starme's constant use of "Recover" that made it hard for me. Oh well.

[@KirbyBurnify]

haha i soo agree with you JayCee Garcia

[@fish4mepl0x]

I can't help but think this, but... Misty's kinda sexy for a teenager.

[@tetsiga45XxX]

Lol "Volkner is An Emo Crybaby that looks like the forth hokage" XD

[@slug237711]

*YES*! I was so hoping that Claire would be here. But the reasons you gave as to why she was cool weren't what I had in mind. Heck, you didn't even mention her Kingdra, which if you didn't have your own dragon type was tough. While I am pleased you put her over Blue, I just don't see the popularity in Blaine except "You'd better have a burn heal." And another thing... Miltank... WASN'T... *TOUGH*! Sheesh, people overhyping Whitney's Miltank and the Water Temple from Zelda. My gosh people, they are simply not tough. Quit choosing the overrated fire starter and maybe you wouldn't keep losing XP

[@glumanteri]

Old comment, but still; Whitney was easy when I got Bayleef with Reflect and Poison Powder.

[@EpicGamerzism]

also old comment, but catching a heracross pretty much guarantees a one hit ko of the miltank

[@jennilocke]

How cool would it be to do a boss rush of every gym leader from every game

[@SS2LP]

Gotaa feel bad for kanto trainers wanting to take on the pokemon league post red and blue's plot. They have to beat a former champion to even get a shot. Talk about intimidating.

[@hippoblob1371]

[@sapphireruby4029]

Whitney ruined mee! Oh God that girl and her damn miltank!

[@sinomani_pz]

No kidding... -.- Don't forget Morty's Gengar and Clair's Kingdra, either :/

[@ButterSoldier2003]

Clair's Kindra is the most rage inducing pokemon i have ever battled

[@sinomani_pz]

ButterSoldier2003 Quite literally...

[@Kinsley_XD]

She wasn't that hard show that bitch a machop and boom done

[@sinomani_pz]

Aenigma66 Same lol. I one-hit KO'd Gengar, but I like to use some bandwagon appeal xD Also, when I faced Clair, I had MANY hyper potions and revives, so I sacrificed my other pokemon so that I could heal up my Typhlosion :3 But that Miltank...I SWEAR THE NEXT TIME I SEE A COW I SHALL KILL IT. D:< I nearly quit the game because of her :/

[@jinhunterslay1638]

Why do everyone like Lt. surge so much??? I pretty much forgotten about him after beating him...

[@theq4602]

He looks likes one of the small soldiers duds. so hes pretty badass.

[@jinhunterslay1638]

David Vermillion That shouldn't be enough to put him #1 on every single countdown though....

[@cosmicx5227]

Well, I forgot to even fight him the first time I played.

[@iwearleatherjackets1]

You get a dad in X & Y :D. He's the berry farmer on Route 7.

[@iwearleatherjackets1]

Joey B. Pretty sure! He addresses you as "son" whenever you speak to him, so I think it's safe to say he is.

[@ienderflashxx7384]

iwearleatherjackets1 That's possible, but some adults just say 'son' or 'sonny; to a boy. Just saying.

[@WitchDoctaTimmy]

iEnderFlashxX yea the farmers around where i live call every male person younger than themselves "son".

[@goldengamygaming]

I'm sorry but you are wrong. I'm a girl and he doesn't say anything about me being his daughter. He calls me "young lady" and he is with his grand daughter.

[@iwearleatherjackets1]

goldengamygaming Yeah, I've realized that xD.

[@cwgzz81]

Before I watched this video, I thought what was my number one gym leader and it is LT Surg. Glad that Jwittz agrees with me.

[@musicpasion4life]

I love Clair! She's a bitch, but you just have to love her. I also have to agree on Surge. He's a BAMF.

[@ShadowDJ94]

Think Lt. Surge will be renamed the 'Electric Unovian'? Since Unova is based on America and all.

[@nathanchen9181]

It's actually based off of New York City.

[@ShadowDJ94]

Nathan Chen I know that. but I think Unova could actually be in that world's America ;p Since I think it's revealed that the other Regions are in other countries as well.

[@mcmuffinerson]

You're both wrong, Castelia and Nimbasa are collectively based off of New York City, the rest of Unova is based off of the surrounding areas of New York.

[@mochalavender9398]

I was hoping Flannery was on this list. Don't ask why

[@fish4mepl0x]

***** She does look attractive, though. Quite... HOT, I'd say. *crickets chirp* ........

[@szadorozhna4895]

I kinda defeated Elesa in 1 try with my servine leech seeding all of her pokemon and the switching to magnimite for thunder wave and then back to servine to attack. But if there was a most frustrating gym leaders list, Elesa definitely takes the cake. (to bad she doesn't have a lickitung for this terrible pun)

[@BardockSkywalker]

9#: OH COME ON! COME ON! REALLY?!?

[@MaeriberiiUsami]

Whatever happened to Generation 4?

[@VictorJosueMillanMartinez]

gen 4 suucks big balls like..derse size. so..ummm..yeah, thats it

[@MaeriberiiUsami]

I actually liked gen 4. It was sure better than gen 3 and 5 in my opinion.

[@VictorJosueMillanMartinez]

ewww the sinnoh experience sucked for me XD and chimchar ughhhhh i mean HOW IS THAT EVEN A MONKEY augh But i wouldnt trade my Blaziken for nothing. Not even Dave Glasses. Not even for a kiss from andrew hussie :3

Victor Josue Millan Martinez Gabi Samojluk Well, everyone is titled to their own opinions. I personally thought that every generation brought their own amazing mechanics to the series. Generation 1 brought the series and a lot of fans, Generation 2 had the Pokemon Daycare and probably other stuff that I am forgetting, Generation 3 brought the idea of villainous teams (Again my opinion) that didn't suck and weren't Team Rocket plus Pokemon Contests, Generation 4 had the underground, the Poketch and the Pokewalker for the Gen 2 remakes, and Generation 5 had the idea of fusing two pokemon (which surprisingly worked), animated pokemon, and a sequel to the actual games (which also surprisingly worked), and finally Generation 6 brought the 3D Mechanic and the ability to customize your trainer. Despite Gen 6 which hasn't had a Generation after it, Gen 4 was the only game which never had its (in my opinion again) good mechanics brought back. Plus generation 5 got rid of the Pokemon Contests for the Musicals.

[@josephsquires8033]

Claire, Marty, Whitney. All other leaders were a stretch and taught no strategy with types. Koga was a letdown-- no toxic strategy. No spider web strat. Letdown. Of alllll the leaders with a possible winning team. CLAIRE and possibly Lt. Surge were the two leaders with types you could rely on to carry you through battles. And Whitney was sometimes a winner based on luck.

[@josephdavis9234]

My top 10: Elesa, Skyla, Sabrina, Jasmine, Flannery, Whitney, Clair, Winona, Fantina, and Candice... Wow, I'm pathetic...

[@josephdavis9234]

Joey B. No. At least, I don't think so. What's r/pokeporn?

[@josephdavis9234]

Well, Pokémon is the franchise about training magical creatures for martial arts. And porn is... Oh, Arceus. They seriously made porn of Pokémon?! What is wrong with people?!?!

[@josephdavis9234]

Ruin Right, forgot about Rule 34. So, why was that brought up again? The first thing about Poképorn?

[@josephdavis9234]

But yeah, in all honesty, I did pick those ten specifically because they're hot.

[@BronzeFelix]

Hey jwittz, if you ever happen to see this comment (even though you probly won't like any other youtuber), do you think its possible if you can do a "top 10 list of pokemon dex holders" from the pokemon special manga.. It will be really cool if you can do that :)

[@asb5781]

Do you think he will reply now? Are you sure?

[@BronzeFelix]

Probly not ._.

[@taverdoo9142]

Brσηzє Fєℓιχ Yeah... That may not happen...

[@BronzeFelix]

Taver Doo its been 95 weeks, of course it hasn't happened!!

[@greenglovegaming3.148]

I always liked Byron from Sinnoh, because it kind of shocked me that one gym leader was another Gym Leader's father.

[@olavjorvik94]

Byron is awesome. And his team is strong!👍🏼

[@Rowllettten]

my favorite leader is Sabrina i love she and i love abra

[@FlareMafia]

Do elite four :D

[@adriant9984]

the only thing is disagree is that for me, Lt. surges gym wasnt very hard( probably cuz i didnt know what i was doing ). and Jwitz i just wanted to say i wouldve inclued drayden. He is cool, awsome facial hair and he was the hardest gym ( for me ) in gen 4.

[@adriant9984]

srry i mean gen 5

[@Cole.625]

adrian twombley Hey to each their own. I found him pretty easy, I laid him out with foul play from my krookodile.

[@adriant9984]

Cole Richardson ik he was easy but none of the gym leaders in gen 5 were hard im saying he is the hardest out of all of them

[@elimun10]

I think he wasn't basing this upon difficulty. He chose Lt.Surge as #1 because Lt is a badass with a cool design and not because of how hard he was

[@marie-fan4905]

You should of used ice types and steel types

[@AlanisBored]

i'm just realizing that in 2nd generation the female gym leaders are the ones that give you trouble to obtain their badges. whitney refuses to give you the badge, as does clair, and jasmine sends you on a quest to heal a pokemon before accepting a challenge (clair and whitney where also two really difficult trainers to beat in my first silver run)

[@allofchristendom244]

Lt. Surge is awesome just because he's the only character that speaks American. All the other characters speak in some language which I don't understand, I think Chinese, and I can't understand the storyline.

[@imonthedeadly60]

Lt. Surge is the Pokémon equivalent of Bandit Keith... IN AMERICA.

[@allofchristendom244]

Hisako Ishiguro Japanese is the pidgin language of Elfish and Korean. I didn't see any Elfish characters in the games.

[@Mattapo2]

Speaks American? You must be an idiot.

[@allofchristendom244]

***** I am an idiot, if by idiot you mean "attractive Call of Duty: Digimen Major League Gay."

[@supercooldiddy]

***** i don't understand your language try speaking more American

[@hauntedhaunter6148]

was I the only one that beat Whitney in 1 try

[@abgrayson]

I just used mud slap. Problem solved.

[@janhaijames4312]

here is why people think Lt-Surge resembles Guile #1 They are both american #2 Both in the army #3 Dress alike #4 Created by japanese game creators

[@bennel3588]

I do not think they tried to make Lt. Surge resemble Guile. Lt. Surge is Nintendo, and Guile is Capcom. Capcom could sue Nintendo if Nintendo uses Capcom's stuff in their game without their permission.

[@InjuredPelican]

I think the fact that Lt Surge has a real back story makes him pretty interesting. I also like the contrast between his macho design and his adorable pokemon (Pikachu and Raichu). He is secure in his manliness and will use speed/agility instead of pure brawn.

[@DGSnowolf]

The only hard gym leader i encountered was that freaking electro arena in generation 5 FUCK VOLT SWITCH!!!!

[@gingginggalano3475]

I taught you were smart O-o

[@DGSnowolf]

Gingging Galano well it was the only one I needed 3 runs for. The others I just needed 2 and that were Norman 5th Orden in Saphire and the ghost in diamond. eventually I had to train myself a Sandile and grind the hell out of the desert. I had to level it like 10 levels till i beat the arena.

[@DGSnowolf]

Kamilla electro types with levitation are unfair :P

[@medicmerk]

Same

[@theamazingmeagher10]

So you've never played Gol/Heartgold and Silver/Soulsilver........Claire WILL rek you

[@Doomsday9872]

oddly enough, attract affected my female typhlosion :\

[@leme2696]

I dislike Norman. While playing Alpha Sapphire, my Pokemon literally never fainted until I faced him. I'm about ready to leave the family.

[@TTRPGSarvis]

Norman was a bit of a challenge. Luckily my Sableye made him much easier.

[@doce.9755]

Ikr when I was a kid I literally screamed everytime his Slaking keeps one hitting my pokemon but beated him with an Azumarill with rollout. Of course, not close to Whitney in the original games

[@john98765333]

I so didn't think you were going to add LT Surge at that rate, But he was your #1. You are awesome good sir.
