Because some people just play like that. Everyone has their own playstyle, I’m seriously getting angry at you type of people who are mad about a changeable option in the game that’s not even your business. Just play the way you want, and let others do what they want. Not everyone wants a challenge, games are made to be enjoyed, so just stop it. Get some help.
@@NeptuneHamster Listen to me, you're barely feminist by your opinion, or, i'm more humanist. I don't need your help to came to far and injure you, "cause it's fun".
"You're telling me Johto's Gyms are that pathetic? Hahaha! Don't worry about it. I'll know if you are good or not by battling you now." This is why I like Blue. He seems at first like a jerk, but then If you pay attention, He is really a fair guy with a good personality underneath, just kidding around with a good sense of humor. He was really not going to judge Gold until giving him his chance against him. That shows Character. Honestly its Red plowing through the people and gym's silently with no emotion like a serial killer that scares me more...
Jaegar Ultima Johno levels were curved because of going to Kanto in g/sliver and crystal. Plus you have to face the elite 4 again to face red so they are higher level during the rematches.
*whitney sends miltank to use rollout. Destroys Arcanine, Pidgeot, and Gyarados. Machamp gets hit by attract followed my stomp, body slam and a near dead miltank uses rest. Exeggutor gets hit by a metronome via clefairy and destroys exeggutor. Machamp also gets hit by metronome before clefairy gets owned by rhydon. And somehow with 1 hp left, rhydon uses horn drill and defeats miltank. Imagine if that all happened XD
It wouldn’t have worked well if the player was female, in fact, the line is changed in Crystal to “Ready, Johto *champ?*” to be gender neutral and if you ask me, it doesn’t fit well with Blue’s initial attitude toward the player.
Analytic31 They likely changed it to avoid having a split in the script. There are only a few select instances in Crystal (I believe) where the player is called out by he/she, and any other time the game tries to avoid using pronouns.
In the early Pokemon Games: Mhh i don't Know witch attack to use against Dark Type, im not a pro Player. Today: Pokemon Game says : "USE THIS ITS VERY EFFECTIVE" Me: Click on it... Oh lol im so fucking good at Pokemon?! -_-
Blue was shit his pokemon did not match his gym besides rhydon just because he was former champion does not mean his pokemon should be going against his gym theme.
@@natstar7864 Gyms are kinda stupid anyways. They're supposed to test a challenger's skills but in reality they only test a challenger's knowledge of type match-ups. Blue having a varied team was refreshing and it's not his gym's theme anyways it was Giovanni's. Blue was probably just too lazy to change the name of the badge so he just left it the earth badge.
Me too. Since Blue has the highest levels of any Gym Leader in an initial battle, a type-diverse roster, and a full party of six Pokémon for a Gym battle, he's perhaps one of the best.
You shouldn't be able to know what pokemon your oponent will bring out after you defeated the previous one, otherwise you just always pick a counter type of pokemon. Game is too easy imo
Personally I think the game would be too hard that way and it would be really frustrating. Even with type advantages I had to struggle during some battles
Potterholic1 yeah, you're the one who think really think that. Blue here is a gym leader, not the Champion. You'll understand it when you played the world tournament of Black 2 and White 2.
that theme meant something different Tho. Blue went mad with power and the theme reflects it well, thus why him being champion is the only time we hear it.
For those who don't know, the manga once have an event where gym leaders from Kanto and Johto battle each other. I forgot how that battle went honestly due plot. I remember Blue fought his master, Chuck though.
You can beat blue with a sine lapras. Moveset: Ice beam/blizzard Waterfall/Surf Psychic Thunderbolt/Thunder Use Ice beam on Exeggcutor Use Waterfall on Rhydon Use Waterfall on Arcanine Use Psychic on Machamp Use Thunderbolt on Pidgeot Use Thunderbolt on Gyarados :) Edit: Only if your Lapras is fast bc they have counter moves
I remember when I beat lance I’d go straight to where Chaney spawns got my stantler and kept changing the time until i found a swarm of chanseys and camped it until I had like 16 lucky eggs lol
People here questioning where the hell blastoise is, dont know the fact that not everyone chose a charmander as a starter. The pokemon company wants to keep it neutral to respect the player's (red) starter choices in the kanto games.
@@JCDragon2819 You can get all Starters in Kanto through trading, actually. Well, other than Pikachu, of course. I don't remember Squirtle and Bulbasaur, but Charmander can be acquired in Route 24, and Pikachu can appear in any wild encounter.
Isn't it funny how the first leader Falkner's ace is Pidgeotto and the final leader Blue's ace is Pidgeot? Battling Blue takes you back to your roots, in more ways than one.
Marcus Cheng same here. Like in Emerald, gym leaders, elite 4s, and champion, keep on spamming hyper potions and full restores, which is getting on my nerves.
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 Yep. There were times that I had to grind a bit but other than that, pretty easy. Of course, I didn't go to any dark caves and didn't get the TM for Flash either.
Eh. #1 -- being 7 levels above Gyarados matters. #2 -- Ice fang here was non-STAB, so the power was lessened instead of what would have resulted from a STAB supereffective hit. Me personally, Victreebel was just okay.
@Kevin O'campo Yes but you think that would be nice that a gym leader have a starter?? Like there are exclusive Pokémon from new trainers well is mixed gym but a starter would be so freaking hard
The eighth, last, and final gym leader of the Kanto region is the toughest of all 16 gym leaders. Blue, the gym leader of Viridian City. During the final battle, he'll have Exeggutor, Rhydon, Arcanine, Machamp, Gyarados, and Pidgeot. Once you defeat him, Blue will reward you with the Earth Badge.
Blue should have been better with pokemon in the level 70's or up, since this is after gen 1 where he had pokemon levels 61 to 65. And then the final boss being Red, with levels 90's to 100.
@@MichaelCravith lol yeah and the gym leaders too. the first of the game had a level 7 and level 9. No Johto gym leader was over level 40. Even the elite 4 were in the low 40's! with the highest of all being Lance's level 50 dragonite. (how did he go from a 62 dragonite and 2 level 56 dragonairs in gen 1 to 2 level 47 dragonites and 1 level 50, and all his pokemon being lower level in gen 2, I have no idea). Even the Kanto gym leaders were in level 40's. The only high level trainers in gen 2 were Blue and Red
They should make blue’s pokemon higher level than these. Lil bit dissapointed. And also must have jolteon or any eeve’s evolution to be his strongest pokemon.
Blue honestly seems like boyfriend material: dark sense of humor, confident, competitive, determined, nice hair, not overly beefy, and a strong sense of morality/honor to top it all off. Not even joking 🙃
When I first got pokemon crystal the first game i got and played when i was 9 years old i thought that silver was called ??? Because pokemon wasn't very popular back then and it was hard
Why Blue is in the gym: Giovanni disappeared after give badges to 2 trainers and disbanded Team Rocket. Why Janine is in the gym: Koga got promoted to the Elite Four.
@@neelwaghmare8773 Viridian gym never was mysterious. It's a gym like every other gym too with ordinary gym trainers and ordinary gym quests, except the fact that the former gym leader was a nototious mafia boss and the latter was the former champion of kanto.
I wish they develop a super hard mode in which AI can use better strategies and we dont get to know which Pokemon opponent chooses so we can't easily use countering Pokemon.
