Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - Elite Four & Champion Battle 

Esas son canas we Solo esta viejo

@EBPB The clouds on his tie are actually subtle foreshadowing to how Larry wants to jump off a building

poppy is scary

@Hafiz Mustaqqim you say Poppy is scary ? Seriously Hassel look like he want beat you to the death and eat you.

@@SchwarzAnthonyBoys18 Hassel is like the teacher tired of teaching and receiving no respect from his students

@@kiawegamer you readed in my mind i see. He look like to say "come here BOY Your end is now and after your dead you'll be my lunch"

@@kiawegamer He's like blonde Snape from Harry Potter lol

That was slick

I agree, she’s pretty cool honestly. Definitely my favorite of the four.

Mine too!

I can’t see her as a female, I just forget that she isnt a guy, she is too masculine (and thats also cool)

@@MajorAce7HasTheP0werT0Win.wait this whole time rika is a girl?

Well that makes it even more sad 😢

Actually, during his Gym Leader rematch, he reveals he was told to use Flying types to have a new perspective (a bird's eye view, if you may) in life.

Why can't he just retire if he doesn't really like to battle?

Lynyrd Skynyrd has entered the chat

Larry is Eren confirmed

His team and character design is pretty amazing too; not only does his look change a bit to match the type he uses (gray suit and tie for Normal Gym, blue suit and tie for Flying Elite Four), but his teams actually are thought to catch you off-guard and synergize. You see him at the E4 match and think "Oh, Normal guy, let's lead with Fighting!" only for him to give his quite odd speech about Geeta asking him to use a different type. What's the catch? *Flying-type*, one of Fighting's three weaknesses. He just got you to most likely lead with a member that counters his standard team only to counter it himself. His Staraptor is foreshadowing of this too, since it's on both of his teams and is the only Pokémon to be of a Gym Leader's specialty type to get terastallized.

I am loving the idea of having a youngster being an Elite Four member, I wouldn’t mind having more young children/teenagers being Elite Four Members and I really appreciate all of the designs/assortment of all four this time around, really fun idea and I love all of them!!! 😻🤩

@@ashelygordon669 Like Acerola?

Absolutely!!! 👏💛

@@ashelygordon669 sus

The business man is also a GYM LEADER

Make me remember certain man from Jujutsu Kaisen

Poor guy.... Nobody should be overworked.

@@danielcreed2328 right. I work 13 hour shifts. I feel like Larry some days.

Reminds me of Julius from everybody hates chris

Or the og Larry from TAWOG

It's just another place where there could have went more effort into, that's why its a little sad. Also victory road was pretty cool if you had enough repels at hand.

Would be nice if they….were actually challenging sure monotype teams could have a good challenge but peeps who use more then one type? I was expecting items, to be used but no…

@@staydetermined6717 Oh yea I really wish Game Freak would implement a difficulty setting. I really haven’t had a difficult time with any Elite 4 or champion except for Cynthia. Since Geeta is a woman, I was hoping she’d match up to Cynthia but nope haha

@@tarrenceprice9458 Agreed, I thought she would be tough

I wish at the very least that the room's color would have changed depending on which E4 person you were battling.

Got a Flamigo in my team too, called him "Doffy" for that very reason 😁

@@DoomedDragonz Too bad its shiny form isn't black, I'd name it Corazon. Does your Flamigo has the Fighting or Flying tera type? Interestingly, wild Flamigos would constantly attack us regardless just like Doflamingo.

@@rodoshehossain7400 not sure, I've never checked. Have not used the terastal feature once up until post game in which it was required

@@DoomedDragonz I see.

Larry's choice is clever cause he makes his elite 4 team have flying types to catch your fighting lead off guard. Since he knows you fought his normal types earlier

can be a gym leader also a elite 4 in one game?

@@irmaosrodrigues1289 yes, like what happened in ALOLA with the karunas

Koga:Welcome to the club, pal!!

He's also the only Gym Leader and Elite Four to change types.

He's just a Normal guy who dreams about Flying.

Actually, Rika is a boy

​@@vincentmui3588No, girl.

@@vincentmui3588 its a reverse grusha: looks like a boy but is a girl

.....found best girl of SV. Her or the villain girl.

@@denjeez Who's the villain girl?

aka the best man for the job!

I agressively agree

I prefer Kris.

An everyday man who’s is a gym leader AND elite four with just NORMAL type. I strive to be that great

You're reaching hard. Larry's arguably the best in this gen, but not series.

Yes me too ^^

and it's the only time that is more interesting than the Actual Champion Battle(Geeta)

It’s such a shame that the game with The Best Elite 4 has to also have arguably The Worst Champion.

If me and my Mono-Grass team saw Grusha walking into the room, I wouldn't know how to react. "NOW, prepare to feel the icy bite of reality."

I picked Larry solely because his city was the only one I could remember

That would have been great though, imagine being asked who was the toughest gym leader and that determines who would show his face in the elite four for a rematch, the ptsd would be insane 😅

SAAAME That staraptor hits too hard and too fast.

I actually breezed through that gym. My newly evolved Annihilape made short work of Larry. The water gym leader (I forget his name) was the one that I struggled with.

I noticed that too

I didn’t notice that

Yeah, probably intentional

Also that they have a hint to denote their typing before you battle them, it zooms into it when you engage them too (except Rika..) Rika = icl idk, the tie has brown on it and in cartography a triangle represents a mountain Poppy = Key for Steel Larry = Cloudy tie for Flying Hassel = Tie and sweater pattern represent a dragon

I usually just mow them down, so I never really considered it.

Yeah, I think Mixeli has a nasty habit of sweeping.

I appreciate seeing there's other Flying type lovers

@@ceciliaekura2506 same, flying is superior lol.

ryme is my fave gym leader

Lol, Le0n was a total try-hard and pushover. Seriously, a _Charizard_ as your 'ace' - and he prances it about everywhere so you've basically sussed out that team member from the very beginning. I love Geeta's special Rock flower mon - it suits her, it's quite Strong and looks mystical. She's a much better Champion but shame they rushed the arenas towards the end here. At least Geeta's was outside.

But Geeta was easier than Diantha. Leon atleast put up a fight and Geeta was worse.

When Nemona is the real Champion or something

@@netweed09 Nah, Geeta is definitely pathetic in comparison to Leon.

Imagine liking characters without bringing down other characters, couldn't be me.

Just like Olivia and Hala in Sun & Moon, who are Kahuna and Elite Four at the same time.

@@ryancorreasousa8972 Well they created the first Elite Four of that region so probably why This guy is just dedicated to the grind

@@ryancorreasousa8972 It's different. League didn't exist at the time, so when Kukui created it, he wanted to appoint Kahunas as the Elite Four. In S/M, Nanu and Hapu refused (not interested, and not seeing herself worthy enough), so they gave positions to Acerola and Kahili (mainly due to Nanu's recommendations). In US/UM, Hala also rejects the offer, for... unknown to me reasons (maybe because he wished to spend his old days in peace?) But in Paldea, League has been existing for quite some time now, so all the rules are firmly formed. And apparently are a little different than in some other regions, because in Indigo Plateau, Koga when offered the E4 spot, he had to leave Fuschia Gym Leader's position (that's why Janine is the Gym Leader there in Johto games). However, since Larry's two positions were given to him by Grand/Top Champion herself, he gets a pass.

*Acerola would like to know your location*

Also Koga as an gym leader from Gen 1 and in Gen 2 is an E4

Acerola looks to be in her teen. This is a literal child.

the kid looks like a preschooler trainer class.

Acerola is confirmed to be between 11-19 years old

But main hero is the kid and kids become champions lol

We have Tristan in sun moon that beat the e4 without using a full team

Nah his team kinda wack, Quaquaval only good starter.

@@fairydustpocky damn let ppl have opinions

@@fairydustpocky this is literally the best starter lineup since gen 4 you’re on something

Says the one making crackheaded statements like that

i dont think theyre based on our world in location. Orre is based mainly on arizona but its close to regions like kanto/johto/hoenn

Is there an in-game/universe explanation for using this extremely basic room?

@@turbomilkcrew this are teachers testing you. Just a normal final test of this year

Truth

It does feel a bit odd that this game that's all about you being able to go just about anywhere you want still has the E4 be the same four in a row. I really hope the next game to feature this Open-world design rectifies this and also makes the gyms scale to your progress

sinnoh had the same issue

It's because "Elite Four" is their trainer type, it's like Youngster Joey or Swimmer james and etc.

I agree. I thought, maybe fairy, or dragon woukd be hilarious, but steel os awesome.

Definitely but a very welcomed one at that considering steel is one of the best types defensively; she is very cute but the team composition is nothing to laugh but if can be defeated depending what kind of we have and saying that Greeta’s team weak in which is not entirely true, yes its not the strongest but same can be said for Rika being an Ground type specialist, I don’t think Greeta’s the problem but moreso the easiness of her, I agree its not the best composition but I will say its not bad either at least what I perceive considering its an very interesting one to say the least; I personally love all of the elite four members but aside from Larry, Poppy is definitely my personal favorite by far!!!! 🤤🥵😏

*What I meant to say that Poppy’s team composition is nothing to laugh at considering both Copperajah and Tinkaton are slow but very powerful offensively if unchecked, then you have Bronzong who is annoying defensive-wise; even Corviknight is no slouch either, they can be beaten but varies depending what you have to counter it; Regarding Dragon, the team composition is very interesting considering Baxcalibur is the new pseudo legendary with a very interesting signature move and while there are people who are very spilt on its design, I personally like it and the ability Thermal Exchange is very solid considering it prevents from being burned from a fire-type move in which its a big deal given its very reliant on the physical side!!! 🥴😻

The key necklace gave it away for me

@@ashelygordon669 Tinkaton is actually really fast. It *looks* like it should be slow, but nope, 96 speed. And yeah, Greta just gets throttled by a bug type

Honestly I think the bland room makes sense. Imagine having to spend so much decking out a room to fit the Trainers Theme and then a week later they decide to retire. Now you have to whip up a new budget for a New Elite 4 Member and their specialized room.

Same

I’m guessing you heard the champion music then? Straight up took a motif from BW e4. Pretty cool 😎

And who said he isn't? He might already be Champion-rank Trainer, like Nemona.

Ikr

Mine bugged out and only played the first 10 seconds of the theme on loop 😒

@@utuber34500 emulator?

@@gifdojosuke7483 No, on the Switch. It didn't have the 'Vs" tag activate during the battle so the music didn't change.

​@@utuber34500thats just the song itself

Gamefreak didn't have enough time

@@shatteredsentient5321 poor excuse tbh

@@Radio-97 either way it doesn’t matter,

But then we wouldn't have Larry trying and failing to raise his voice to call out the next one and who would want that?

Yep

nice pfp!

Sounds to me like the Sinnoh Elite Four.

Sounds futuristic

@@sephy004i knew I wasn’t the only one who noticed common points with sinnoh gym leader theme This one is better though, insane track

One of Team Star's captains specializes in Fairy

Reminds me of Jasmine. I’d love to see Poppy with a full team of 6. Just imagine her with a Lucario, Scizor, Kingambit, or Revavroom in that final slot and/or replacing that Copperajah. She could easily take down the champion’s deadweight team.

More like Dark or Ghost type due to her look as an scary doll ( no offense )

Ortega (team star fairy boss) is also kid and has fairy types, which makes sense

i thought she was gonna be ice type cuz of the colors idek

The games in general have good soundtrack tbh

True but I can honestly understand why people are finding Geeta’s team underwhelming because I think they were expecting more challenging Pokémon but both Gogoat and Avalugg are not particularly challenging in which its not entirely true considering while I agree its not the best team representing an champion, I will say its not bad either given it depends on what kind of team we have to counter it, the easiness of her team is the problem aside from half of her respective team composition being weak to fire but I really love her team in terms how unique and quirky it is!!! 🤔🤭

Get rid of "one of" and you'd be correct

Dragon makes sense because it resists the starter's type

it's the same as the titans

Lol, She's way more of a challenge than Diantha - I saw her getting swept by everyone's playthrough.

@@netweed09 i one shotted all of her pokemon and wasn't even overlevelled lmao. her team is trash ppl are just dog at this game

Agree, she has a GOGOAT, also her LAST pokemon sets toxic spikes, really useful

She has avalugg, a Pokémon that Is dogshit on everything but 1v1, a Pokémon WORSE than múltiple NFES

At least she acts like an old school champion with different types like Blue and ourselves ( Gen 7 )

Alister?

@@maikayee246 Galar don't have Elite 4.

@@maikayee246 first, galar doesnt have elite 4 ( like the one above me said ). Second, its only true when u play shield. If you play sword, then its the fighting girl instead. Third, allister isnt even a girl lol

@@maikayee246 Alister is male.

@@maikayee246 Galar was introduced in an even-numbered generation. generation 8.

Yup

It’s a shame, because I used to love battling the elite four several times to grind for exp

Hopefully the elite 4 rematch comes as an free update or maybe part of the dlc expansion pass

Acerola, in both SM and USUM, were in Alola’s Elite Four. Depending on his age, Bede is part of an Elite 4-like setup in Galar.

@@iantaakalla8180 Yeah but Poppy is WAY younger than Acerola and that’s what makes it even crazier

She is basically like 6-8 years old which is bizzare for her role

@@Matthew-0619 she looks 6 to you? like look at how small she is, this kid's still in pull-ups lol

@@elipticalecliptic481 Could be lower but 6-8 seems reasonable

U can’t rematch them

@@alexplaymaker7690 So?

Even changed Type speciality. Normal Type Gym, Flying Type Elite Four

Well Koga was the 1st gym leader to become an Elite Four from Gen 1 to 2 so not surprised 😅

he does it in all of his videos to artifically extend the length. fuck mixeli

Honestly, his Quaquval would of swept with that moxie boost

There was also the strange move picks, poor switches, and honestly just every time baxcallibur was used at all was questionable Ex: switching after a torch song/moxie/aqua step boost, Crunching pokemon weak to ice moves using not very effective moves switching off pokemon with super effective attacks switching into a pokemon with a type weakness(baxcallibur into tera rock glimmora) not having stab moves on the fire types (fire for talonflame, ghost for skeledirge) there's probably more, but those fights were so painful to watch that im not gonna bother

He's overleveled anyways, that alone make these fights way more boring

@@victorgofron8039 fair

I too was hoping for new types for the Elite 4 especially since there's only four of them left.

True that. Also, there are currently only 4 types that were never used by any Elite Four: normal, grass, electric, and fairy. We should have an Elite Four with some of these types instead of dragon once more :/

@@pastelpunkdemon Correct.

@@luizbezerra4373 Because SV already has Electric, Grass, and Normal gym leaders, and a Fairy Team Star branch. The Grass and Electric leaders are literally two of the three leaders they revealed before launch.

Yeah I wished they varied the type for the e4 and the gym leaders but no they stick to the same formula (I left out the longest sigh when i saw we had yet another ice type gym leader)

I had a lucky egg on my garchomp to overcome it being in the slow experience group. Think it worked too well, because that thing is a God damn overlevelled monster

"Who is this sassy lost child?"

Gamefreak lol

@@rugino3614 fr from this vid her steel types HIT HARD AF like whos training this child to be this strong?!

Geeta herself, apparently.

Yes, it's really well directed despite the technical flaws. But there's just so much potential in all aspects of Scarlet/Violet. The ending was so fast and emotional too. Many loose ends and unanswered Questions!

@@netweed09 However, we got a well detailed game that lets us meet old and new pokemon. Which is nice that it feels like newer adventures are just beginning through the generations.
