    Fun Fact: The reason why Ms. Tyme is a Rock specialist is because she used to be a Gym Leader. Her sister, Ryme, took her place when she became a full time teacher about a year and half before the game.

    For those who don't know, you could also get Hassel or Clavell as the last opponent. Clavell's team is the same as the team he faces you with near the end of Starfall Street (just higher level), and Hassel's team adds a Dragonite. John's massive struggles with Geeta's Espathra reinforces why I think it's a better lead for that team than her Glimmora. A check to your stat boosting lead is way more valuable for NPC trainers than the entry hazard that any of our Pokémon without Levitate can now theoretically absorb.
    I once used a Venomoth with Quiver Dance and Baton Pass to sweep Cynthia with one severely underleveled Hydreigon in the Unova sequels so I've seen how much these stat boosts can trivialize the tougher in-game battles. If I tried pulling that with Geeta, then I'd certainly get my ass kicked by the Lady Gaga Ostrich.

    • @MarcusMapua

      Too bad most of Geeta's Paldea pokemon besides her Glimmora belong to other significant paldea region trainers as either part of their roster or are their aces: Espathra & Tulip, Veluza & Kofu, and Giacomo's partner pokemon Pawniard being now a Kingambit

    "making a complete clown show of this event" well that statement aged like fine wine by the time this was over 💀. Yeah so Tyme used to be the Rock-type leader of the Montenevera Gym. Her sister Ryme turned it into a Ghost-type gym after Tyme joined the Academy's faculty. I love what Ryme has done to the Gym, the stage looks so cool with all the colors and not to mention the iconic dancing Greavard in the background. The Ghost-type aesthetic fits Montenevera perfectly. As for Magic Powder, it's Hatterene's signature move and all it does is turns the target into a Psychic-type. The move isn't useful unless you're planning a strong strategy.

    here is an idea for a round of the JMC; for each round you are given five random characteristics for pokemon. (examples: it is the color red, it can fly, it walks on four legs, it is duel typing, it is fully evolve ect.)and each round won't have the same combo of characteristics. when you catch a pokemon you get a point for each characteristic it matches, ranging from one point to five. the most points after five to ten rounds win. and since we know it will come up, catching a shiny can replace one of the characteristics with 'shiny'.

    • @charlesruteal9062
      @charlesruteal9062 Před rokem +1

      When it comes to color, would a shiny Pokemon be scored as the shiny's coloration, or its usual coloration (would shiny Magikarp count as yellow or red)?

      @charlesruteal9062 Před rokem

      @@shadowwriter329 But what if the characteristic I want to replace isn't the color? Say, two of the requirements in a round are "red color", and "ground type", and I get the aforementioned shiny Magikarp. What color does that Magikarp count as? If it counts as yellow, the player would only be able to get one point from those two categories (since shiny Feesh is neither red nor a ground-type, it gets no points outside of the shiny replacement bonus). If it counts as red (Magikarp's default color), the player would get two points from those two categories (replacing the "ground-type" requirement with "shiny", and fulfilling the "red" condition naturally).
      And it would have the opposite result if it was a shiny Gyarados (I would get the 2 points if the shiny colors were used to match the characteristics, since shiny Dos is red while its normal colors isn't). So for consistency's sake, what color would a shiny count as? I could make the argument for either:
      -Using its shiny coloration intuitively makes more sense, since it's the color you're getting it in, while also adding an element of strategy/risk for hunting shinies (if the color only matches the shiny, it could be worth two more points than the non-shiny)
      -Treating the shiny as its default coloration (outside of the shiny bonus) makes hunting mons/points more consistent, since there would be no difference between the normal and shiny mon outside of the shiny bonus (if you have a mon that you know would get 4/5 characteristics, getting it shiny would ensure 5/5 even if one of those 4 characteristics is its color)

      @@charlesruteal9062 any one characteristic can be replace, most likely one that wouldn’t match the Pokémon anyway. For example with the Gyarados you can replace one such as “it walks on four legs” to get as many points as possible. The characteristic are random and there are plenty of combos to do each round so it makes it more challenging and shiny just adds a twist because let’s be honest I am expecting John to catch one shiny each video where you catch them.

    • @charlesruteal9062
      @charlesruteal9062 Před rokem

      @@shadowwriter329 You still need to pick one (between treating the shiny as its shiny colors, or default colors), though. The examples I gave with the Magikarp/Gyarados include a characteristic that doesn't match the Pokemon (the ground typing). In either case, the shiny point would go to that "ground" characteristic (or any other characteristic that doesn't match, like "walks on four legs" like you mentioned), and the shiny would be worth one point on that alone. But I was talking about the point gained by the "red" characteristic. Should a shiny Magikarp count as yellow or red?
      This sort of thing might seem insignificant (it's a difference of at most one point per round), but it'd be better to troubleshoot the rules in advance to make the competition more fair/consistent (like how they agreed to ban Gen 6 and 7's guaranteed catch routes in one of their shiny catching challenges).

    With how Mikey (human not Sylveon) was only catching Paradox Pokemon and PM7 was catching Pseduo's early on makes me think that it would be cool for them to build a theme-based team and then do battle challenges
    Would love to see more battling based challenges overall as well if can make them creative enough too
