Every Pokemon Protagonist's Team

I attempt to give every Pokemon protagonist a team that I think makes sense for them!

I make Pokemon videos, such as Pokemon Sword and Shield content, Top 10 or Top 5 Pokemon videos, Pokemon Talk, Pokemon Meme Review, and lots more! If you're any level of Pokemon fan, subscribe for videos you're sure to love!

I have become aware that I hath made some goofs:
1. Hilbert and Hilda are supposed to have the monkey weak to their starter, not strong. It's been so long since I've played BW not-randomized that I got all the monkey matchups mixed up (oooh fun alliteration)
2. Victor and Gloria should have Eternatus, since it's canon that they actually catch it and I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT THIS. It can replace...
3. Boltund. I missed that Hop used one for...one...battle...(dumb Hop changing his team so much lol)

"What the heck does Silver have?!"
Daddy issues

[fyrecracker]

Michael: the protagonist is YOU!
Us: Who could have PREDICTED?

[SmoothTurtle]

Personally, I think Ethan should have a shiny Gyrados on his team, mostly to reference the fact that the player would’ve encountered it in the Lake of Rage in the Johto games.

Selene's starter is Rowlett in Masters and the manga which makes sense when you consider her name. Selene is an alternate name for the Greek Artemis/Diana who just so happens to be an archer who is heavily associated with the moon.

*“GREETINGS POKÉFANS”* These lines are keeping my spirits up during this quarantine.

[novawise]

The Red in G/S and HG/SS seems to be based on Pokémon Yellow's Red, where he's given the three Kanto starters from 3 different NPCs, and his Pikachu, being his highest level Pokémon, was probably his starter

[rustyroast]

Personally I feel like Calem and Serena should have Mega Lucario (due to getting one from Korrina) and Lapras (since you’re given one by a breeder close to Shalour City)

[Skooberee]

Professor Oak: "Here, you can take one of these pokemon "
Red: "... ... ..." * no *

[Josh-mmpo]

"Since barry is supposed to have the starter that is strong against the protagonist's starter"

Me who continues to one shot empoleon with Close Combat:

[OfficialFailure]

*no Pokémon at johto lab*
Silver: I’ll take this bird then.

15:14 I don't know why but I like Barry with Chimchar. His weird monkey dance animation when you fight him in the games just seems to scream "I am a Monkey Boy"

[maximuscraig]

“They don’t have set canonical teams... or do they?”

I’m on board the theory that you’re Michael from VSauce now

[jacobhunt]

Counter argument for Ethan from HGSS. There is actually a perfect amount of gift/storyline pokemon for him to have.
- Typlosion (it’s canon that Ethan chooses cyndaquil as shown by the semi-recent music video)
- Togekiss (gift egg)
- Dragonite (from dragon den dratini)
- Eevee that turns into espeon or umbreon (gift from Bill)
- Sudowudo (the one you have to encounter to get past goldenrod)
- Red Gyrados (from the Lake of Rage)

Edit: yes I understand Ethan is also shown with tyranitar and ampharos in the music video, I’m basing this team off of the most relevant pokes you encounter in game, if you really like you can sub dragonite for tyranitar

[grimmkingadamtaurus]

"the protagonist is you"

A horrible decision really

[benjaminalderson]

I think it’s alright for Dawn and Barry to both have the same starter. As long as Dawn can get a piplup. It’s mandatory and I will not stand for this

“Boltund, found on an early route and not used by other main characters”
Hop route 7: am I a joke to you?

More goofs include: gift porygon, and bulbasaur/squirtle

[misticalnebs]

The fusion trio: is Zapmolcuno
Me: I’ll just call it Unodostres

[bluebro]

Eternatus: hey, I'm a legendary that can be caught in the main story and has to be caught no matter what.

Michael:... But bolt doggo.

In my belief, Hilbert and Hilda are separate characters, just in another timeline, with Black being more focused on Hilbert and White being about Hilda. In Black 2 and White 2's postgame, you can return to Nuvema town and talk to the previous protagonist's mother, and depending on the version she mentions a different character gender. In Black 2, she says "You look just like him, " but in White 2 she says "You look just like her.". The starters won't change between versions, but the legendaries do. Hilbert will have a Reshiram, and Hilda would have a Zekrom, therefore in the sequels Nate have N's Zekrom and Rosa would have N's Reshiram.
