My Perfect New Gym Leaders

The 8 Pokemon trainers I would hire as gym leaders!

Pokemon videos about new Pokemon games, retro Pokemon games, or just Pokemon in general!

Quick note on Silver - if you talk to Elm after beating Silver in Mt Moon in HGSS, he mentions that Silver came by to try and return the starter he stole, but Elm could tell the starter loved him so let him keep it. We can assume the same thing happened with his Weavile, so TECHNICALLY they became retroactive gifts.

14:21 You know how you get Mallow to come to your region? Invest in her family opening a new branch of their restaurant in your region! She can run this new branch and spread the family name around the world! Heck, combine the restaurant with the gym like Larry did in Paldea, and she wouldn't have to go anywhere to be the Gym leader!

"I can't afford Nemona"
Hahaha you fool! She doesn't care about money, only the fight. Fight!

I want a second part of this video that includes:

- Pokémon that every Gym Leader would use.
- What TM would they give you?
- If this Region is Open World, then what is the consistent Ace Pokémon through all the badges (Like Sophocles uses the Vikavolt line either you have 1 badge [Grubbin] or 8 Badges [Vikavolt])
- How do they fight based on difficulty? (How many potions do they use? Do they use other items like full heals? Do they put items like Sitrus berries on their aces? If this game has Hard Mode, what changes do they make in EVs and held items?)

I know it's a lot, but as someone that usually listens to the video while working it would be an amazing long video while I clean carpets :3

A note on Drayton: there is a bit of dialogue between him and Geeta where she starts to attempt to recruit him for the Paldea league, and he shuts her down immediately. I doubt he’d take the offer of a job very seriously; he’s content with slacking off.

Mikey playing HR manager with unnecessary attention to detail is my favourite new thing

Could you afford barry? Its one million dollars just for being late, imagine what his wage negation would be like

[WhyYouWahYoo]

I love these videos because any other poketuber would just look at the teams and pick good ones but Mikey’s like “uhhhh I’m not relocating a minor to another country” or “what’s Bianca’s career trajectory?”

[mjvdg]

Nemona has definitely shown precedent for scaling back her own challenge to meet someone on their level. I’d say definitely one to keep an eye on for when she is older as she’d happily slot into any rung on the league ladder.

11:29 "Which maybe I can overlook, if I behave like the NFL" You have no idea how hard I laughed, & my dog staring at me like I lost my mind 😂😂 (go Giants!)

"Since Sun and Moon came out 8 years ago... Jesus..."

I felt that

[gokuxsephiroth]

I love how much personality Mikey adds to these videos. Like, we could have just had: "So X uses this and that pokemon, and that's strong, blah, blah" but Mikey adds so much more to them. I love these little stories

[apocrypha]

A cool gimmick with Gladion could be: Randomise the disc Sylvally holds! Make him a normal-type leader, but his ace Sylvally could be any type!

21:45 rare moments of Mickey (intentional) shipping characters

[Averagejon]

23:23 that wink makes my knees crumble. Good lord

[heatherramirez]

Mikey: I’m not hiring children!
Tate and Liza: *sad twin noises*

[lambit]

Silver getting a Crobat always made me smile, knowing he eventually made friends with his pokemon on his own journey, he thought of them as tools but grew to love them and his character growth is subtle and wonderful

[YoelSchwarz]

I love how Mikey is looking at everything about the trainers to decide. Not just their teams, but also their stories and personalities.

[Possibly_Possible]

I feel like Trevor would be a very good Pokemon Professor for the region since his whole thing in X and Y was completing the Pokédex, researching, and comparing his to your pokedexs

26:06 it is now my headcanon that their towns are neighbouring and the gyms are actually one giant building with their living quarters in the middle
