One change I’d make for the flying gym leader for Kanto: I’d make the ace Dodrio. It’s BST may be lower than Pidgeot’s, but it’s speed and attack are higher in every Kanto game and it gets Drill Peck unlike Pidgeot, which is objectively the best flying move until Gen 4.

Imagine a Pokémon game where every type has a leader and you just get to choose. Once ya get through 8 you can access the league, but completionist can feel good about fighting all 18.

@Shalakor 2 года назад

I like the idea of, even if still linear, having 14 Gyms alongside the Elite Four, with the parts of the region you explore being different based on the version you play and then the 6 you didn't fight before the League being postgame (and/or having the antagonists interrupt the Champion battle for a longer main game). One of the shared gyms between versions could be in the main hub city of the region and be fought at the same point in the journey (we'll say 5th Gym, and be a similar test of skill turning point to the Gen 3 Norman encounter, where you go through the city early-ish on but have to wait to fight it). The other shared gym could be an early town/Gym in one version and a later visited town/Gym in the other.

@Samoht Still Lives!!!! Best of the best are the champions, so it makes sense for them to be the only ones with no restrictions on their team. I think E4 are fine being type-locked, with just having better pokemon, better counters to super effective types, better AI, etc. than gym leaders

@nickdentoom1173 Год назад

I think Houndour can work for Kanto as well for the Dark Gym Leader, cuz you actually can only find it in Kanto in the Johto games. The reason Pyroar is part Normal, is because its associated with Sound based moves (Hyper Voice, Noble Roar) and the like.

@gengarzilla1685 Год назад

I think it would have been a really interesting idea if this Hoenn Gym Leader's ace was different depending on your version, since Seedot and Lotad are version exclusives and the lines are direct counterparts of each other. They could use the fully evolved stage you can't get in your version: Ludicolo in Ruby, Shiftry in Sapphire and Emerald. They'd both be on the team regardless but the one that the player can't normally find is given that ace position.

@---oq5kb Год назад

Lots of gyms could probably use this idea, another one I am thinking of is blaine. In kanto games (more specifically the one's where starter isn't eevee/pikachu) he doesn't use ninetales or vulpix in his team, but he uses arcanine as his ace. I think it would yhave been cool if it was swapped with ninetales if you were playing red/firered.

@samueldionne9675 2 года назад

@@artist0154 That's an understandable criticism, though ideally the game designers would take that into account to balance things out. As for the E4, instead of being type masters they could be strategy masters using Pokémon of all types. For instance, one could be all about having tanky Pokémon, one could be about hitting hard and fast, one could be about throwing around status, and one could be a baton passer. There are bound to be potential issues with this as well, but it is a way for the E4 to exist despite all types being used up in the gyms. If anything, I personally would enjoy trying a game with all the types having their own gym as a shake up to the traditional 8-gyms-in-a-given-order style we are used to, despite flaws like the fighting type sweep you mentioned.

Actually, a Kanto dark gym is possible without making them exchange. Because in GSC, certain dark types like Murkrow and Houndour, despite being introduced in the *Johto* games can only be found in Kanto, thereby making those Pokémon native to Kanto and not Johto. They would definitely need to be an earlier gym if those were their only Pokémon, but it's not unheard of for gen 1 trainers to have multiple of the same pokemon.

Also in the original series we see Gary with several badges from gyms that are very much not in the games.

@FrenkTheJoy Год назад

Gary in season 1 has 10 badges and 7 or 8 of them are from gyms we never see in the game. So that's 15 or 16 gyms by itself (the 8 Ash has plus the 7 or 8 mystery ones), so for gen 1 there HAD to be at least two gyms that were the same type. Ash also encounters one individual and two groups of people trying to start their own gym (implicitly: ground, bug, and electric). And obviously the games CAN'T be the 100% accurate representation of how the regional really is. Nobody sleeps. Nobody has a toilet. There are huge mystery areas that are completely blocked by 4 foot tall rocks. It makes sense that there are other gym leaders. Especially if you think about how many trainers there were at the League at the end of the first season, knowing that you have just under a year to gather all the badges to qualify, there'd HAVE to be more than 8 gyms or else they'd be constantly busy.

I know making them more pure specialist is appealing to some but I actually like when Gym Leaders, Champions, and E4 have some diversity in line with a theme. not only does it make the fight harder (people who have swept certain monotype leaders even without setup can attest) it also makes their character more apparent. giving Steven fossils plus a Pokemon that would be super useful in excavation just makes sense and makes him a more full character. just my opinion, love this content (enough to watch pre-beard Mikey again)

Espeon should’ve been Will’s ace from the beginning. It’s so much better than Xatu. Yes, one of the Kimono Girls and Sabrina each use one, but make the former a post-game battle and replace the latter’s with a Girafarig for ghost immunity and that problem is solved.

I feel like you should redo this but allow previous stage evolutions for their Ace Pokemon - it just makes sense to me that they're training another "Ace" Pokemon, if possible. Like if a leader has a Gardevoir, then having a Kirlia open the battle just makes sense to me. It helps reduce repeats significantly. EDIT I also don't like the "Highest BST is the Ace" rule - I feel like a Pokemon like Seviper fits the "Ace" role way more than Swalot

Also, Piers uses an Indimidate Scrafty in SWSH, so a gym leader using a Pokémon with a hidden ability actually isn’t unheard of anymore.
