    20:14 The Blackthorn gym would also kill you by emitting volcanic gases that are toxic, on top of literally cooking you and posing a serious falling-into-lava risk. So to make it through the puzzle, you'd need to wear highly specialized protective gear AND a rebreather, also a rebreather that can actually handle the temperature, also, the chemicals in a rebreather are quite explosive if mishandled, and you need special training to operate a rebreather, since you will eventually run out of breathable air and without training, you'll eventually suffocate without noticing.

    • @zachrodan7543
      @zachrodan7543 Před 3 lety +28

      given that all the gyms in the games tend to have the same exterior, especially in the earlier gens, this might be stretching logic a bit, but at least in the anime, the gyms actually each have their own distinct outwards appearance. doesn't mean they are any safer, what with Blaine's gym in the anime being inside of an active volcano..., but it does mean that there could be some structural differences between the gyms. I would not be surprised if the blackthorn gym was actually an open-air arena or something, which could be explained by having the gym building just be some sort of warp-panel like technology that takes you to the actual location. this argument could potentially also help with a few other gyms, but not nearly as much since none of them seem to have problems that would be resolved as easily by just changing the location itself like that. certainly, it would still be dangerous to be in the blackthorne gym, but if it had an open roof of some sort, or was in an outdoor location connected by a warp panel, then it would be at least a little bit safer as long as you didn't actually fall into the lava.
      while it is true that in the earlier games especially, the gyms always looked the same from the outside, I actually rather doubt that was anything more than minimization of storage usage by not having to design a different sprite for each gym and implement some other way of showing that those places were gyms. This is especially true given that very few gyms seem to be the same size and shape when it comes to the interior itself. you have some gyms, like brock's that are just a single room. you have other gyms in the same generation that are a differently sized single room, or even multiple rooms that take up far more space. despite this, all of the gyms in gen 1 and gen 2 look identical from the outside. (I am not sure when they switched to having the gyms be allowed to be different from the outside, but I know that gen 1 and gen 2 had pretty much the exact same gym exterior for every gym between both generations).

Nurse Joy was there in disguise to evaluate if the gyms was up to the pokemon leagues standards. So all these gyms have been certified and approved by the pokemon league.

      INTERVIEWER: How many children you killed as a Gym Leader?
      SKYLA: Oh yeah. Yeah, I was given lawsuits for the first design of my gym because I never added landing pads where the trainers landed after being shot out of cannons.
      INTERVIEWER: You shot kids out of cannons without air cushions?! Why?! Even human cannonballs use air cushions!
      SKYLA: Yeah, turns out landing on metal platforms wasn't the brightest thing in the world. There was also one that shot you into a steel wall. Some safety regulators told me that the reason my gym didn't have any takers or just wanted me to have the battle outside was because anyone who tried my gym challenge was dead. They even proved it with ballistics dummies, a lot of them had similar results, everything from broken bones to ruptured organs. Which is why I had to take that gym down, or the cannons away and switched to strong, gale-force winds. They also told me to give the trainers proper safety guidelines for the challenge.
      INTERVIEWER: Skyla, that still sounds highly dangerous.
      SKYLA: Hey, I'm from a family that breathes in danger. And besides, this new challenge has walls to block them from the wind. Granted if you're caught in the wind, you could hurdle into the walls or some wooden crates, but the results had much more success than the cannons.
