They only had 251 to make and were still trying at the time. Then they realized they can just sell gen 1 all over again and suckers will buy it. I mean gen 9 games are comparable to Ni No Kuni 😂
I definitely plan on making more like this in the future, making this one was a lot of fun! Might not be right away due to how much having a full time job slows down the production of these multi day videos, but doing another like this would be a lot of fun. Thanks for the support, I appreciate you :)
Thanks for the awesome feedback! I thought so heavily of Venusaur but Meganium just fits her aesthetic so much more. Thanks for checking out the video &for the support 😊
Rain Dance doesn't boost Thunderbolt. It does make the separate move Thunder ignore accuracy and evasion checks though. Having* said that, great video and an interesting thought experiment!
Several years later &I'm still learning things I didn't know about gen2's battle system. Thanks for letting me know, I always thought that Rain Dance also boosted the power of electric moves! Thank you so much for taking the time to check out the video, &for your feedback! I appreciate it a lot 😊
Great builds for these gym leaders! A nice, versed, and well-rounded builds with thoughtful monotype champions! The kanto starters being featured and not being cliche aces is really nice. Really like the setup and strats used with each team having a variety of options. Love the competitive style of the builds!
Glad you enjoyed the video homie! I definitely wanna do more like this, team building is way too much fun. &Yeah it wouldn't it have felt right making the starters aces, they made a lot more sense as the de facto secondary ace you see to wear you down before the real ace comes out. Thanks for checking out the video mate as always I appreciate you bud 🙏🤍
I can see how that would be a better option with weather conditions! I didn't think much about it b/c I usually focus on consistent > power, but I could definitely see how that could wreak havoc. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to check out the video 😊
this was such a wonderful vid, insta sub. another comment alrdy mentioned the thunderbolt/rain thing, so i wont bother with that but i will say starmie could use thunder instead of thunderbolt, since rain is more than likely gonna be active, same for many of lt surges mons, tho i would keep thunderbolt on some of them tbh. another suggestion would be to change ampharos into an annoyer supportmon fully with dual screens, thunder wave, and attract (or swagger.) destiny bond instead of explosion, and fire blast instead of curse on weezing would help diversify the first 3 mons. would for sure give nidoqueen thunderbolt, ice beam, sludge bomb, shadow ball. instead of toxic for crobat, id go with confuse ray to diversify status conditions a bit more. for mr mime id change hypnosis for sunny day, which would set up slowkings flamethrowers, espeons morning sun, or zam's fire punches. i feel like that would be more helpful overall than inaccurate sleeps. alternatively, substitute would be really cool for the baton passing strat. anyways, sorry for the ramble, but this was really fun to watch, as im sure it was creating. i hope you do more!
Don't be sorry for the ramble! This page is a safe space to nerd out over pokemon to your hearts content. Most importantly, I appreciate you being positive &informative as opposed to the toxic & condescending energy im used to. Sharing together is how we grow &that's what pokemon is all about for me! I'm happy that you subscribed &am very much excited to welcome you to the channel 😊 &Yeah, looking back there are some movesets I'd have changed if I had given myself another day to look over everything &consider different scenarios, but this was my first time doing a video like this so there was bound to be some oversights. That being said, thanks for checking out the video &im glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great choices! I made sure to avoid checking Bulbapedia to see teams from other games, but both of those would have been great choices for her team, especially since I realized halfway through that it's basically her official team. Thanks for checking out the video :)
It would have been cool if after you became champ you went to The tv and would every once in a while get an announcement that someone new dethroned the elite four champ
Absolutely love that idea! An alternating champ would be cool, especially since the player essentially leaves the former champion at their post. Solid idea for sure, I'll have to remember that the next time I make a video like this. Thank you for checking out the video 😊
That would certainly be a lot of fun! I'll have to keep this in mind if I ever get around to developing ROM hacks for myself to challenge. Thanks for the awesome idea &for checking out the video 😊
Appreciate you taking the time out of your day to check out the video! I definitely have a lot more ideas in mind that I can't wait to share. Thank you again 😊
You did a great job with this list. The only thing I would change would be to swap out the Blastoise one Misty's team for Gyarados. Misty had one in the anime and is arguably her strongest Pokémon. Hidden Power Flying would do some serious damage to Grass types. Since we can give Pokémon moves from other generations, Gyarados could be given Earthquake. This would destroy any slow Electric types or those that have been frozen. Hydro Pump would be the third move for general damage and the fourth is customizable. Thunder can be selected to take advantage of the rain or Ice Beam for Dragon type coverage.
That's the plan! Might not be right away since these multi day videos are greatly slowed down by my work schedule, but I had too much fun making it to not make another. Thanks for the support, appreciate you 😁
I think it'd be really cool if they were allowed one legendary if applicable for their type. For example: Misty - Suicune Surge - Raikou/Zapdos Erika - Celebi Sabrina - Mew/Mewtwo/Lugia Blaine - Entei/Ho-oh/Moltress also, since Giovanni seems to be a normal + ground trainer rather than a pure ground user, I propose GSC Snorlax, the most powerful and ubiquitous pokemon in GSC OU. I also think that since Koga is poison type it would be cool to have Gengar in there instead of some of the less powerful pokemon.
I definitely thought about Misty with Suicune, it fits her aestehtic so incredibly well! I feel like that would be a great way to challenge the player as well. As for Giovanni, the Persian & Kangaskhan were pokemon he's already been seen with, so I figured theyd fit the team, but I could definitely see Snorlax fitting with the team as well! That would be one hell of a foe to face in the championship battle. Thanks for checking out the video and leaving your input, I appreciate it a lot 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed the decision! I thought about giving it to Erika, but I thought it would be so solid on Koga's team. Thank you for checking out the video 😊
You know how Hawlucha can take out basically Diantha's whole team if it out speeds in X? I feel like a single Venusaur with Thick Fat could decimate Surge's entire team.
Erika is missing an Exeggutor and Venusaur, in place of Jumpluff and either Victreebell or Vileplume to keep at least two Kanto mons on the team. And the Koga could get a Gengar in place of Venusaur. Makes her team tough with two starters and psychic > flying. Dope video though
For Surge's team: Why would he have two Pokemon with Rain Dance, but only one with Thunder? Every one of his team should have Thunder, because that is such an offensive threat.
I appreciate you pointing that out! This was my first time creating this kind of video, so I was wondering if I made any oversights in team building. Thank you for the input, &for checking out the video 😊
Basically the same as in later gens, but calculated based on the DV system (0-15) instead of the IV system (0-31). Gen II Hidden Power can also range from 31-70 in power depending on DVs, always activates Counter but not Mirror Coat (even if it becomes a Special type like Ice or Grass), and HP Fire doesn't thaw out frozen targets.
I can’t believe how much better the crystal sprites look compared to the modern day pokemon sprites…
They're truly phenomenal! I'm enamored every time I see them. Thanks for checking out the video 😊
They only had 251 to make and were still trying at the time. Then they realized they can just sell gen 1 all over again and suckers will buy it. I mean gen 9 games are comparable to Ni No Kuni 😂
Brock got an upgrade! Imagine going from first gym leader to champion.
That must have been one hell of a training arc 😂 thanks for checking out the video 🙏
Hope this becomes a series, would love to see future gens
I definitely plan on making more like this in the future, making this one was a lot of fun!

Hidden power “GRASS” covers all fire Pokémon weakness.
*laughs in Ludicolo*
Giving Erika a Meganium instead of a Venusaur deserves a like man! Good Choice.
Thanks for the awesome feedback! I thought so heavily of Venusaur but Meganium just fits her aesthetic so much more. Thanks for checking out the video &for the support 😊

Misty's Starmie should know Thunder > thunderbolt

Brock has the best team of the bunch you mentioned
I'm glad you enjoyed his team! Thanks for checking out the video 😊
In stadium 2 Erika actually uses a vaporeon something cool to mention
I think celebi would have been good for Erika it absolutely obliterates charizard with ancient power
Great choices! I made sure to avoid checking Bulbapedia to see teams from other games, but both of those would have been great choices for her team, especially since I realized halfway through that it's basically her official team. Thanks for checking out the video :)
Just like megaman. Where u have to vs all bosses again
Never got to play MegaMan, but that sounds like one heck of a challenge 🔥🔥 thanks for checking out the video :)
Such a fun video, good stuff!
Thank you for checking out the video, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
It would have been cool if after you became champ you went to
The tv and would every once in a while get an announcement that someone new dethroned the elite four champ

That would certainly be a lot of fun! I'll have to keep this in mind if I ever get around to developing ROM hacks for myself to challenge. Thanks for the awesome idea &for checking out the video 😊
Really good video, you could easily turn this concept into a series and do one for each gen, I'd watch em all
Appreciate you taking the time out of your day to check out the video! I definitely have a lot more ideas in mind that I can't wait to share. Thank you again 😊
The sprites are on another level of beauty, man I love crystal but the team compositions and story of the game was made with no mind😅😅😅
You did a great job with this list. The only thing I would change would be to swap out the Blastoise one Misty's team for Gyarados. Misty had one in the anime and is arguably her strongest Pokémon.

"Air Goodman, comin attchu"
Great video, hoping you do one for Gen 2 as well!
That's the plan! Might not be right away since these multi day videos are greatly slowed down by my work schedule, but I had too much fun making it to not make another. Thanks for the support, appreciate you 😁
That means Whitney would be a champion. I had enough trouble with her the first time.
Oh my that would be terrifying 🫠 thanks for checking out the video 😊
I don't think there's any way to set an NPC Pokémon's Hidden Power, nor does the AI know what type it is.
I don't think there is either, but it's still fun for hypotheticals 😊
Kirby: Comin' At Ya was my favorite anime
(jokes aside I like your lists)
Just wait til Kirby: Comin' At Ya Shippuden comes out 😉 thanks for checking out the video 😊🙏
I think it'd be really cool if they were allowed one legendary if applicable for their type. For example:
Misty - Suicune
Surge - Raikou/Zapdos
Erika - Celebi
Sabrina - Mew/Mewtwo/Lugia
Blaine - Entei/Ho-oh/Moltress
also, since Giovanni seems to be a normal + ground trainer rather than a pure ground user, I propose GSC Snorlax, the most powerful and ubiquitous pokemon in GSC OU.
I also think that since Koga is poison type it would be cool to have Gengar in there instead of some of the less powerful pokemon.

It would be sick if the games were this challenging 🔥
Id have loved to have battles with these setups, for sure 🔥 thanks for checking out the video 😊
That’s very cool to put venu with koga
I'm glad you enjoyed the decision! I thought about giving it to Erika, but I thought it would be so solid on Koga's team. Thank you for checking out the video 😊

Also Blaine not having a ninetales is diabolical
Very cool video
"The ever so deadly Jolteon with Thunderbolt, Hidden Power Ice, Bite and Thunder Wave"
Me: Ayyyyyy ma boiii 😁😁😁🦊💛⚡
Always glad to see another cultured person 😎 thanks for checking out the video 😊
Misty will be the goat!!!
I wouldn't have lent into hidden power quite so much.
I know why people do it for these hypothetical teams, but I don't think Brock should evolve his Onix.
But Brock in the anime has a steelix. He left his onix with his brother and it evolved
2:32 You stole my Starmie set. But in doing so earned my subscription!!!!
Hehe glad you enjoyed the video &thank you so much for your support 😊
For Surge's team:
Why would he have two Pokemon with Rain Dance, but only one with Thunder? Every one of his team should have Thunder, because that is such an offensive threat.
b/c I really didn't look over movesets after I made them, lol. it was probably the most rushed part of this video
cool video bro
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
I think Sabrina needs more coverage. Mr Mime can't damage dark types and Girafarig and Espeon can only hit them by using dark type attacks.
I appreciate you pointing that out! This was my first time creating this kind of video, so I was wondering if I made any oversights in team building. Thank you for the input, &for checking out the video 😊
@@pixelated_pat you're welcome! Congrats on taking this first step and I wish you success!
I feel like misty should have a golduck and gyrados. She never caught a squirtle in any cannon. Kingdra works because she had a horsee
Why you didn’t give aerodactyl a flying move
Whitney would be the champ of champs
Where Giovanni mewtwo?
why notjust expanding on the GSC Teams?
I really want to know if someone can respond, how hidden power works in gen 2?
Basically the same as in later gens, but calculated based on the DV system (0-15) instead of the IV system (0-31). Gen II Hidden Power can also range from 31-70 in power depending on DVs, always activates Counter but not Mirror Coat (even if it becomes a Special type like Ice or Grass), and HP Fire doesn't thaw out frozen targets.
Give Misty lapras instead of blasttois
Remove tangela and put Venusaur
Why Giovanni doesn't have fissure?
Thank you for asking! I tend to think more with consistency when I'm building movesets
