Fixing Johto's Gym Leaders

If you enjoyed it'd be great if you could leave a like, sub and all that fun stuff, you know how the youtube life is.

The Johto Gym Leaders are bad, so let's theory craft some better ones for them. ESPECIALLY FOR YOU PRYCE!

💬Comment your team comp ideas below I'd love to hear them!
🕰Also this video spent me many weeks to work on, and is my first long form video that has used a hefty amount of editing. So I'd really appreciate it if people are able to give me feedback on what worked / didn't work for future videos!

[williamstensen]

I still think Whitney should have the Clefairy. I really love the unpredictability it brings with Metronome, and it pairs really well with Smeargle that you put in, so that you never really know what Whitney brings to the table. It'd be fun too if Smeargle's moveset was somewhat based on your starter, so it gets a super-effective move against whichever starter you picked out.

I genuinely thought I was watching a multimillion sub channel with the look and feel of the content, this was amazing!!

[nykolaiblichar]

I really like the Pokemon you gave them. It was really disappointing how little the gym leaders used Johto native Pokemon. Its one of the few regions not to highlight new mons in their gyms

[lichlance]

Instead of Smeargle, you could also have gone for the Togetic route. It has it's cuteness for gym matchup and metronome for the randomness.

The Stantler in Morty's team reminded me of the teams gym leaders had in Pokemon Stadium. They usually had pokemon that weren't their main type but that fit in with the vibe of the gym leader. I think a video giving gym leaders from other gens teams like that would be very interesting

[raccoonmyroom]

I like how you powered up the gym leaders but didn't make them unreasonable. I wish Whitney had a Teddiursa. I feel it fits her vibes. I also love the elemental TMs on Furret.

[dws]

Dude, with content like this you're gonna be up there with the biggest in the community one day. So fun to watch

[Wizzkidwas]

Damn Rory, this blew up!
It's a very well made video and the humour in it is fantastic, I think you deserve it mate!

[taymeywey]

You've made some very unique and appropriate choices here; This is one of the best Johto repair pieces I've stumbled across.

[metleon]

For Clair, you could have potentially given her Arcanine. I'm pretty sure it's based on a mythical creature that's a mix of a dog, tiger, and dragon, but I can't find the specific name of it right now. That's why it can learn Dragon Breath and Dragon Rage.

I think the only other dragon-like Pokemon you could really give her would be Lapras and Feraligatr, since Tyranitar would have to be underleved.

[dragoniteisbased]

Great teams! I think I’d swap out thunder punch on primeape for HP Ghost to help with haunter and psychic types, and maybe give Lapras thunderbolt or psychic over body slam to either hit water or fighting types. But you did a great job of making the teams more threatening, but not overpowered(which is a mistake many people I have noticed tend to make)

[JoaquinHerraez]

Really great video! But I must point out that Claire can't have an Extreme speed Dragonair, since she never succeeded on the dragon sage's trial 🐉

[cybernator]

Great video, i would say however that using Hidden Power on a gym leader might be too confusing for casual players, particularly with morty using 2 different hidden powers

[Leetz]

Sometimes, the Youtube algorithm actually works and shows me videos from small channels that are actually worthwhile . Great work, dude 👍

[vibrantoucan]

I really liked this video. It was edited well and nice to listen to and I loved all your team from a theorycrafting perspective. The reason why Pryce sucked so bad was because after Morty there is actually kind of a split path and you could either do Chuck or Pryce, but that just ended up making whatever one you did last (usually Pryce) way to weak. Therefore I actually like the change as it solidifies the "intended" path.
And while I do like Montys team, I just feel like I should point out that (if someone tried to mod these teams into Crystal) Montys team wouldn't work. For each NPC trainer all their Pokemon share the DVs, which are determined by the trainer class, so it would be impossible for them to use different Hidden Powers. Mortys default Hidden Power would be Rock and while you could change the DVs, without some pretty big reprogramming using different Hidden Powers on the same NPC is not possible.

[christopherbrewer]

It's always great to see someone blow up like this. Your presentation is top notch so I hope you continue to grow!

[byronholt]

Giving the second gym leader self-destruct is just evil

[MMR_LM]

I hate how the only challenge from the second half of the Johto gyms comes from the constant level ~25 pokemkn from Morty to Pryce, then suddenly you're faced with a level 40 Kingdra with nowhere suitable to grind beforehand. It was bad enough in GSC but completely unforgivable for not fixing the level curve in HGSS. Fantastic work on this video, very much enjoyed it

[Promatim]

Some changes feel like bringing the game up to the difficulty level of Emerald, and other changes feel closer to a Drayano hack. While the Drayano games are very fair, the easiest of the difficulty hacks, I do wonder if a kiddo would have answers to Jasmine's Skarmory, esp when it's not even her ace.

I think I would have retained some Gen 2 goofiness (like Delibird needs Present), but overall I love what you did. Vast improvements, well thought-out choices.
