Hope you enjoy the video!
😅It's about time I finished the gen 2 gym leaders!
Next video will be on a different pokemon topic to mix it up!

Huge agree with Mewtwo, it shows that Red truly did conquer Kanto, and if you defeat him you did something pretty cool

Type specialists without type coverage when I show them a Thunderbolt TM.

8:30 I mean, she does become an actress in gen 5, so unintentional foreshadowing, I guess lol.

[obambagaming]

I remember that NPCs wont ever use Thief. They are programmed to avoid this move as much as possible.

[superkirby]

What if Blue was actually Purple in disguise

[loganpoal]

15:26 the AI will switch out if they are about to die to Perish Song as long as they have another Pokemon.

I'd actually argue this is a case where I'd want to see these base game. Enhanced difficulty and strategy makes complete sense for a postgame, and makes the leaders actually meaningful rather than just EXP fodder before Red.

Red with a Mewtwo goes hard tbh. A romhack with these teams would be pawesome

[fred]

full movesets? full evolutions? nooo this is not gamefreak approved

[lipika]

Janine being a newbie excuse doesn't work when you realize Flannery is also in the same boat as her, but unlike her, she's actually still competent (in Emerald mostly).

Golduck is the best psychic type! Man I’m loving this so far man ^.^

[Eric-gphi]

I love all of these changes to the Kanto Gym Leaders in Gen 2. I’m looking forward to the next Pokemon videos you have in store!

[GilroyIronheart]

Giving the Electric Soldier Porygon to the Electric Soldier makes perfect sense

[darkraiknight]

All hail Golduck, the best Psychic-type! (Also, nice team changes. I hope we get to see you fight them, like last time!)

[BardockSkywalker]

Why not give all Gym Leaders full Teams of 6? They're Post-Champion Bosses. Why not give them full teams?

[TheLordGlenn]

Giving Surge a Lanturn as other comments have noted would definitely be a good change to his team (and it can be fished in Vermillion City no less!), so I think dropping it from Misty to give to him is a good idea. What I didn't see suggested was giving Misty a *Qwilfish* as an anti-Grass option instead of Lanturn - she's pretty heavily Special-based with your 5-member team, so swapping Lanturn out for another physical attacker would balance things out a little.

You could even tailor the sets slightly differently, going Lead Qwilfish (Spikes/Sludge Bomb/Swagger?/Surf - confuse the player to hopefully force a switch and take hazard damage) and swapping Sludge Bomb off of Setup Quagsire (Curse/Surf/Earthquake/Rest? (with a Mint Berry for longevity?)) to be something a little longer in the tooth, albeit with one less move making use of the boosted Attack from Curse?

Always a delight to see one of these. I love how intricately you go into giving them moves and great reasons behind the choices. It's something more people should do, especially when it comes to giving Pokémon teams to other established characters (giving Aquaman a mono-Water team is the biggest cop-out ever XD).

Anyways, enough rambling. I might disagree with some of your choices in the series, but you're the guy who reminds me most of the way I like to approach Pokémon teams, and that's something I can't really say to a lot of people.

Keep up the good work and good luck in life 😊

Golduck is the best Psychic type I know
in fact Golduck may be my favorite Psychic type ever
I am not being held hostage by Golduck to say these words

[thepuppet]

You’ve redeemed yourself by giving Johto’s Pseudo Legend to Brock. Well done.
