FIXING the Johto Elite Four

Today I'm going to be taking a look at the Elite Four in Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver and attempt to fix them by changing up their Pokémon, move sets, abilities, and items!

If you reach the end of the video, let me know what you think about my changes and if you'd do anything differently! Thanks for watching and thank you to my channel members for supporting me!

Isn't Explosion on Qwilfish a OVERQWIL? I'll be going now.

Koga is a ninja! The evasiveness strats are intended there to match the theme!

I think Karen having a Tyranitar as her ace could have an interesting tie in to her philosophy. Larvitar is weak and can be difficult to train up, but she sticks with it because it’s her favorite. In the end, her pokemon only becomes “strong” because she loved it

Lance stays a bird keeper with 6 flying types

[gigifabulous]

I absolutely love your take on my dear Lance. I saw someone a while back make the note that he focuses on flying Dragons while Clair focuses on aquatic Dragons, and I'm really happy you kept that idea going too.

I think I would have removed gengar and kept vileplume. It sticks true to Karen and her philosophy. Love the T-tar as her ace! Gengar is used too frequently and players are use to it. Morty/Agatha.

Aside from the content which is awesome, I have to acknowledge the graphics for these videos. They look so satisfyingly GOOD! I really love it.

i like it! especially with Will and Karen team. Fitting like a glove with Wobbuffet and Tyranitar giving the johto pokemon a more representation. amazing vid! 10/10

[darkraiknight]

A Yanmega for Lance—how inspired! I never thought about that before, but it makes total sense!

"I'll be sticking a Quick Claw on Steelix for any potential funny moments"
*Alpharad has left the chat*

[mariocruno]

Karen "It just happens to be that my favourite is a pseudolegendary"

[sephiross]

Now fix HGSS Kanto and give Red a level 90 Mewtwo.

[Erebosmagnus]

I feel like Will should have had Espeon as his ace to mirror Karen's Umbreon.

[KoolBeanz]

I Really like these changes man!

Will is great (though I would replace wobbafett with espeon)
Koga is spot on (I really like the scizor pick, especially since he has scyther in other media)
Bruno is great (nothing much to say, steelix was a nice addition)
Karen is amazing (I actually really like the tyranitar pick, tho if her team stayed the same I wouldn't mind tbh)
Lance is great too (I don't mind the yanmega pick tbh, it fits in a way. I will say 2 things tho: If you were willing to keep vileplume on karen's team instead of tyranitar, you could give it to lance. It would fit his vibe and also make it so he has no repeats. Also while I don't comment on movesets alot, I think you should give lance's ace dragon extreme speed instead of hyper beam. The reason is that in the dragon den, if you get all the ansswers right, you get a dratini with extrmeme speed. I think giving his dragonite extremem speed would hint that he passed the test, meaning he truly shares a bond with his dragon types. Also it's just a cool move for it to have ngl 😆)

but overall great job with the changes 👍

[Femboymercy]

Great video! I agreed with a lot of the choices. Some I didn’t see coming, like Wobbuffet, and Yanmega, but I honestly loved it. You def got a new fan and sub 🤗🤗

0:50 Will having two of the same Pokemon is a very interesting coincidence. He's the only member of the Elite Four to have two of the same Pokemon in Gen 2, but in Gen 1, Lorelei, the trainer he replaces, is the only member of the Elite Four who *doesn't* have two of the same Pokemon. I have to wonder if they did that on purpose.

[bippythechippy]

I may have a neat suggestion for Koga's team: Gliscor. Now, I know you said in the Gym Leaders part 2 video that you felt like giving the bosses mons like Magmortar or Electivire was a bit too detatched from their prevos, but I think Gliscor would be a perfect fit. For starters, it learns multiple poison type moves, gets poison heal later on, and is based on a venomous creature. Gliscor also is very close in design to it's Gligar prevo, so it'd still count as a Johto rep (at least in my opinion). Not to mention, its dex entries talk about it waiting at night for their target to let it's guard down and striking, which is ninja behavior if I've ever heard it.

[tyrant-den]

swapping a Dragonite for a Yanmega is just being needlessly clever when the whole point of Lance is pure big numbers; that feeling when you take out one Dragonite and know there are TWO left.

[RocketHarry]

A qwilfish also fits Koga's ninja theme as historicaly ninja had been spies and assassin's it's likely they would have used pufferfish poison to assassinate people.

15:07 I'd give Dragonite Giga Impact instead of Hyper Beam.
