    I love the idea from Pokemon Origins that all the gym leaders are actually packing full aggro teams and choose fewer and weaker Pokemon of theirs depending on how many badges the trainer taking on the gym has. It makes perfect sense because having most trainers in the country being more powerful than any gym leaders would be really weird, and it makes it so that any new trainer starting their journey wouldn't have to travel all the way to a specific town to start their gym challenge.

      Maybe splitting the gyms up into subregions, with a new subregion opening up when you clear all the gyms of the previous subregion?
      First gym should probably always be the first gym, so maybe 4 subregions, with the gym split being 1-2-3-2 between the subregions.

    It’s always been my head canon that the gym leaders are all equally strong, they just keep 8 different teams that they switch out based on how many badges the challenger has.
    A similar thing would apply to the other gym trainers but they wouldn’t have multiple teams, the leader just decides who you challenge based off your badges and gyms have a wide range or skill level with their trainers so there’s always enough to make a series of obstacles for the challenger.

      Origins was really clever showing that gym leaders have multiple teams to the level of their contestants. I mean, imagine you want to start your league championship, live in the same city as the "last" gym and the "first" gym is halfway across the region!? Makes more sense they would have a flexible order of gyms ready for contestants of different amount of badges. The game obviously can't afford it, but the lore certaintly can.

      Having 6-8 Gyms inside of the same massive city the size of the wild area would be really cool to see with a similar any order feature with the massive plot happening when you finished the Gym Challenge & a similar long pre gym challenge existing to what happened in Gen 8. Perhaps 2 of the Gyms wouldn't be part of the main city where any order happens or something could happen where you have to rematch the gym leaders as part of the plot. I'm still waiting for Pokemon to Escape the 8 Gym Total & was disappointed that Gen 8 chose to have version exclusives instead of 10 Gyms.

      The best part is that this is something that's been theoretically possible since gen three with the ribbon system. Just like how a pokemon had to have certain ribbons to participate in certain contests, you could have number of badges change the gym.
      Or even, theoretically, a replay able gym challenge where you register a team at the beginning and the gym ribbon they have when you start the next gym dictates how strong that gym will be.

    You say that, when Milo, the first gym leader in Galar, uses Eldegoss, a Pokemon with 460 base stat total, very good for a first gym Pokemon.

    • @chonkyclouds7635
      @chonkyclouds7635 Před 3 lety +4

      Except you know...base stat totals aren't everything. Both Milo and Bugsy use types that are weak to most earlygame mons. The entire first half of the wild area, all the routes before the gym, and even the isle of armor DLC are all open before you fight Milo. As for Bugsy, the early areas give enough rock/flying/electric types to deal with him, not to mention the fire starter. Steelix resists a lot of the earlygame normal moves, and you only have three pokemon that can do something to it - cyndaquil which dies to the rock moves it learns early on in HGSS, totodile which isn't a special attacker, and the route 32 woopers in case you started with chikorita. Typings and the available pokemon matter way more than base stat totals.

Tackle/Pound/Scratch is definitely not one shotting it and neither is Razor Leaf without a crit.

    This is actually an interesint concept in itself. It always kinda depends on when would the trainer start. Such thing was brought up in the Pokemon Origins saga, when Brock was shown to have multiple Pokemon and he was choosing Pokemon to battle Red with based on the number of Badges Red had (which was 0 at the time) as Michael brought up in his video

    If Giovanni was the first GL:
    You have a choice after defeating him. He gives the monologue on his dreams for TR, and then you decide: Turn him in or let him go. If you let him go it acts like a normal game from then on, but with some extra dialogue covering the choice you made. If you turn him in, though, you go through the region, but without Rocket. Everywhere something used to happen with them, it doesn’t. Until you bring local thugs out of the woodwork, and this new Neo-TR becomes the main villians

    I actually feel Cryogonal can work well with a first Gym Leader, as it teaches you about considering more than just type effectiveness when choosing moves due to the large imbalance between its Defense and Special Defense stats. However, to help make it more manageable, since the Gym Leader's ace always knows the move from the TM that they hand out, I think it would be best if an Ice Gym Leader that had a Cryogonal as their ace gave out the TM for Avalanche, a negative priority physical move that Cryogonal can learn, as Cryogonal's biggest strengths are its Special Defense, Speed, and Special Attack.

    For the Paldea gym leaders, taking Terastallization into account:
    Katy: Nymble, Tarountula, Teddiursa (unchanged)
    Brassius: Smoliv, Capsakid, Bonsly/Sudowoodo (not a lot of Gen 9 Grass-type options, so Petilil is out.)
    Iono: Magnemite, Wattrel, Misdreavus (while associated with Bellibolt, Bellibolt is too strong, and Tadbulb is too weak. Magnemite is a decent pick even if she only ends up with one Gen 9 Pokémon, since it's very prominent as part of her design. It also balances nicely, with a Pokémon that's super weak to Ground, and one that's immune to it. A great way to teach the player about defensive utility, since Electric Tera removes all weaknesses if something has Levitate.)
    Kofu: Wiglett, Clauncher, Crabrawler (all Pokémon he uses the evolutions of, even if Clawitzer is rematch-only)
    Larry: Lechonk, Tandemaus, Staravia (He doesn't use the former two or their evos, but the Normal-types in Paldea are a bit limited and he has to have at least one Gen 9 Pokémon. Staravia would be his ace, and Dudunsparce is way too strong, but Dunsparce would be an okay pick to replace one of the two non-aces.)
    Ryme: Greavard, Bramblin, Dreepy, Toxel (a tricky one since she's a double battle gym leader. I decided to go with Pokémon that fit her theme and things she's said about raising the dead-hence Dreepy- but that are weaker to make up for there being four of them, even if she doesn't use the Dreepy or Bramblin lines. Toxel is a weak ace but it still fits her theme, as Toxtricity is too strong.)
    Tulip: Flittle, Girafarig, Floette (tricky since her association with Farigiraf means I can't easily remove Girafarig, even if it's a bit strong.)
    Grusha: Cetoddle, Frigibax, Skiddo/Varoom (all fit with his theming. Frigibax chosen over Snom or Cubchoo for the sake of variety. The ace was the hardest to choose, but it would be either Skiddo, for the mountain theme, or Varoom, for the extreme sports angle, even if a stretch. It could also be a way to teach the player that Terastallization can work as a defensive maneuver even if the Pokémon doesn't learn attacking moves of that Type. Swablu was too underwhelming as an ace, and Altaria was too strong. I'm leaning towards Skiddo though.)
