What if Pokemon Had a 9th Gym? 

What would your Gym be like if you were a Gym Leader? 👀

Silver hated Team Rocket but him becoming a gym leader at the end would be cool but instead of bad pokemon he would use friendship evo’s and his starter and give you the move return to show how much he has grow from the start

I would say that in Kanto you could also just re-establish the Fighting Dojo as a Fighting Type Gym

OK, I am making my own headcanon teams for all these new extra gym leaders; this is such an awesome concept

What would be interesting is having optional gyms instead of a set number of gyms

Actually for the ball guy gym leader, the badge could be the back of the medallion which simply works a case.

I didn't know Ribombee was aura sensitive! Interesting!

For Paldea they kind of got cheated out of a gym leader since Larry is both the Normal Type Gym Leader and The Flying Type Elite 4 member. So a separate Normal Type Gym Leader would have been nice

Some of the best fan stories i read include gyms for ALL types or the types the REGION localized it’s gives more open world feel and proper reason why some leaders like Misty can take breaks each year for traveling or anything.

For Galar, I was thinking one of the two Stow-On-Side Gym leaders would have sufficed as there technically are 10 gym leaders in Galar if you count the 2 that swap places with one another depending the version. So I would pick one of the 2 gym leaders that arnt being used as the 9th gym leader for Galar and place him or her out on either the Isle of Armor or the Crown Tundra. Or a small area out in the Wild Area for their gym.

It would be really cool to have like a dozen gyms per region and then get to choose which eight we challenge

dobbs medicham is aura sentitive, because on his platinum,black and white 1 and 2 pokedex says: "It gains the ability to see the aura of its opponents by honing its mind through starvation".

I didn't thought that idea would be interesting but including beta towns into the mix is actually an clever and interesting idea, good job everyone :3

I think it would’ve been better to say for Paldea we’d finally have another rainbow type gym leader like Blue. Since Paldea already has every type covered having a post game rainbow type gym would’ve been really cool especially since it’s only the second time to ever happen in the series and hasn’t happened in like 22 years (not counting remakes).

Nice video, but Kanto should have a Fighting Gym because of the gym in Saffron

Great video Dobbs. Keep up the great work. Love your videos and personality.

The Lavender gym idea is my favorite!

It would be awesome to have more optional Gyms to battle against in the game. Since it’s have been proven there are more than eight Gyms in the anime to battle against.

Hitmontop is actually called Capoeira in Japan. Capoeira is a style of fighting and dance from Brazil, not break dancing :)

Better idea, ball guy should have all the pokeball disguised Pokémon Electrode Amoongus Galarian stunfisk

Dark Pulse would’ve been a good TM for the Johto gym considering they send radio waves out constantly. Almost like Dark Pulse sending out evil energy.

You really lost the opportunity to give the Ball Guy a Wooloo the roundiest pokémon there is. Lol

Tbh I can't see Silver as the equivalent of Giovanni for Jotho. Since his whole Journey basically mentioned, that he doesn't like Team Rocket. And the whole Scene with his Father wouldn't make much sense either. I would rather maybe put Archer into this Gym. Or if you wanna go with a Connection to Giovanni and Silver, Ariana.

6:03 best moment 🤣🤣 Random Alex appearing

That Perfect thumbnail though

Apparently Kanto Had 10, according to Gary.

Nice concept

ball guy is such an underrated and wholesome character

I would have made the Paldea gym leader be rock type because every other type has a type specialist (all the titans are covered by the elite four except for rock)

Some fangames like pokemon reborn add 18 gyms, with 1 for each type. While this does stretch out the story, if official pokemon games added optional gyms out of 18 you could pick say 10 to complete, and face the rest in postgame with level scaling, that would be awesome.

Whoa, I did not know that about Erika; that's pretty dope!

interesting 9th gym ideas, dobbs.

I think Eusine could've been a cool Water type Gym Leader for Gen 2, and for Gen 3 I think it would've been nice to have a Ground Gym Leader in Lilycove City (maybe Scott since Lilycove City is just a boat ride away from the Battle Frontier?).

I really like the ball guy gym idea and the badge fits perfectly. He could be a tutorial of sorts or warm up to gyms. I want to know what extra 2 gym badges that Gary had were. That guy was so cool he had badges that weren't even necessary to enter the league. I'm glad we now have 18 badges (technically) even though 10 are not from gyms it's still cool to have a challenge for each type.

The only issue I see with having Silver be a gym leader associated with Team Rocket is the fact that he hates Team Rocket. Yeah, Giovanni is the kid's dad, but Silver despised his dad for leaving and Team Rocket for taking his dad from him. Don't just gloss over the fact that you're basically told in-game that Silver hates Team Rocket.

This video is awesome and super creative! There should be gym leaders with at least one shin6! Why has there never been a gym leader with a shiny Pokemon!

nice job dobbs

More nuzlockes with Vinny!

For XY. I love ur gym leader pick! would be cool if they had the gym be the Battle Chateau. Also make it to wear after being defeated he leaves and the battle chateau turns back to normal. It would make sense for the other gym leaders being their to rematch as you could say they were checking in on their fellow gym leader that they hadn't herd from in a while. Even bring him back every so often as he was off training and wants to rematch to see if he is strong enough.

Gym Concept: Neptune City Gym. Water Gym. Seventh badge. (Mid to Late 50’s with a Lv63 Level cap for self imposed challenges). the gym would be a mix of Crusher Wake’s gym Puzzle and Volkner’s Puzzle, except with a Underwater cave with 3 levels, forcing you to use Dive in order to Progress in addition to solving the puzzle. Pokemon (Theme: Water Starters with Levels = the Gen they are introduced in): Blastoise Lv 51 Primarina Lv58 Quaquavall Lv 59 Empoleon Lv 54 Greninja Lv 56 and Swampert Lv63 TM: Hydro Cannon All with Hidden Abilities, due to being the co-creator of the Connection to the Dream for the Region, and It’ll be more of a challenge. the TM is just a reference to the Move Tutor that gives the Move to a Water Starter.

I think these fit better. Gen 3 would benefit from a Ground type as there is a water gym, something to represent Groudon, put it Fallarbor town right by the soot route. Gen 4 A bug type gym, remove Aaron from the Elite and put him as the 3rd/4th gym leader in Solaceon Town. Make the first e4 member a Flying type user. Gen 6 is missing Dark type. Again missing a type that represents one of the legendaries. put in Dendemille Town or Couriway Town, Leader uses a Pangoro. Gen 8 I would make the Pokeball guy's team be Normal type with round pokemon like Wooloo.

I love this concept but would like it if it was a secret gym Instead...maybe having levels around the elite four 🤔

The thought of blue burring his Ratticate and mr. Fugitive immediately using it to battle is funny to me for no reason

the only thing this video lacks to make it a 10 plus video is: spread animation segment which you do in the beginning of almost every video. I also thought it was a fun and original video concept so keep up the good work with these types of videos.

In the anime or manga it’s shown that there’s more than 8 gyms coz there’s a scene where blue/Gary (for the respectable thing) show their badges, which not all of them are recognisable

Breaking dance? Hitmontop dances capoeira, wicht is a fighting style that popularized on Brazil

Most awesome vid!!!!!!

9:49 Cute Bea part

Well in paldea the maths teacher was actually rock gym leader but she quit and her sister become ghost type gym leader

Aura Guardian No... Not you 😂

Paladea needs another Gym Leader or Elite Four Member to give Larry a break from working overtime, lol.

Cool idea. I always wanted a normal gym in gen 1 back in the day. I know, it sounds boring lol

Huh, well, this was an interesting idea, i wonder what you’ll think up next. Actually, what if the Elite Four was the Elite Five?

What about guardevoir and or garlade since ralts it‘s the Emotion Pokémon which for sure it‘s also More linked to the aura itself also absol since it can sense cathastrophical Events which Makes it More sensitive to the Power of the world those 2 would also be a great fit for the lucario kingdom gym also giveing them a better type variety

I think 9th Paldea gym should be a rock gym with Tyme as a gym leader because you all know why

Unova technically has ten unique gym badges and eleven gym leaders across the generation five games. It would be interesting for if a Black and White remake is made for the player to choose eight of the ten badges to obtain that they need to obtain in order to take on the Pokémon League.

Ball guy's badge is round. I'm a genius. 😂

Gary had 10 badges, he will get 15 after this update.

it's funny because with kanto there were at least 12, since gary didn't find fire gym or fight giovanni yet

If I were to create a 9 gym for Kanto it would be located in Pallet Town, the leader would be the protagonist's father or former Kanto champion and the type would be flying

Technically if we look back at the generation 1 anime Gary shows off that he's beaten 10 gyms so there is definitely more then 8 gyms in each region we just don't see them

there was a 9th gym in the anime though it was never shown the badge was, Gary Oak had a badge from said gym. remember he did not receive the badge from Viridian city and still made it to the Pokémon league. scratch that there were at least 3 additional gyms in kanto in the anime as Gary had 10 badges without the one from viridian city

Crunch was made into a tm in gen 9 so I think in universe it could work.

I'd think a lake of rage leader would probably roll a water team led by a gyarados tbh. Silver hated team rocket, so its a weird fit

You know what I just realized, ryuki is a slight reference to Kamen Rider Ryuki. His main color is red, he uses dragons, and the name is the same

For Kanto and Johto, I think a dark type and fairy type gym would work best. I don't know which one to put in each region. With the 2 extra gyms, all 18 types would have exactly one gym in the entire "Kanjoh area". Literally 2 minutes later edit: I agree that the lake of rage would have made for a good dark type gym, which means putting a fairy type gym in Kanto somewhere...

Gym 9- Kanto: Normal Johto: Ground Hoenn: Grass Sinnoh: Flying Unova 1: Poison (Roxie) Unova 2: Grass/Fire/Water (Striaton City) Kalos: Dark Galar: Poison (DCL Rival) Paldea: Mixed Type Specialist. (Reasoning given- To get you ready for your future battle with Geeta)

I would want the Lavender Town gym for myself!

Dobbs you are correct in red and blue manga Fuji said he did help make mewtwo

What is the music in the background? It’s really good.

Yo Dobbs. In the Pokemon presentation this morning in the Pokemon unite section in the crowd I thought I saw you.

if I was an gym leader, my type would be water. I think im the only

Seems like you’re confirming Pokéshipping with the thumbnail for this video.

It be cool also a silph scope needs to come back and fishing rods

My 9th Gym Leaders, I allowed myself to use Regional forms & later introduced evolutions of Pokemon that are found in the region. Kanto- Leaf/Green(Fairy), Her Team: Wigglytuff, Clefable, Sylveon, Alolan Nintales, Galarian Weezing & Glarian Rapidash. I don't have a reason for Leaf being a gym Leader I just like this idea of her becoming one Johto- Silver(Dark), His Team: Umbreon, Houndoom, Honchkrow, Weavile, Alolan Muk & Tyranitar. Same reasons as Dobbs says Hoenn- Wally(Grass), His Team: Leafeon, Ludicolo, Tropius, Shiftry, Vileplume & Sceptile. Hoenn was made to have a Grass Gym, I couldn't think of another character to be the Gym Leader. Sinnoh- Buck(Poison), His Team: Toxicroak, Crobat, Drapion, Skuntank & Nidoking.He just gives me Gym Leader Vibes. Unova- Emmet(Steel), His Team: Magnezone, Scizor, Aggron, Excadrill & Klinklang. Kalos- Dexio & Sina(Ghost), Their team: Gengar(Mega, Dexio's), Banette(Mega, Sina's), Trevannt(Dexio's), Gourgeist(Sina's), Dusknoir(Dexio's) & Jellicent(Female, Sina's) There's the whole Ghost cabin & girl thing in Kalos. Since their Sycamore's researchers I think they would look into it & they are double battle Gym Leaders. Alola- Wicke(Ice), Her Team: Alolan Ninetales, Alolan Sandslash, Glaceon, Froslass & Walrein. Ice is the only Specialty not used in Alola. Galar- Sonia(Electric), Her Team: Boltund, Electivire, Toxtricity, Alolan Raichu & Dracozolt. Yes she became the Professor of the Region, but she was a trainer & Leon's Rival. Since we only see her have a Yamper, she's Electric. Paldea- Arven(Rock), His Team: Garganacl, Klawf, Glimmora, Drednaw & Lycanroc(Dusk). So I feel like he would do his one Research like his parents & use Rock Types, also Rock isn't used by a Trainer in Paldea.

The Johto section is just complete character assassination of Silver, Dobbs, what the fuck were you thinking? 😂

Silver HATES team rocket though, so that doesnt really work...

Looking at the first champion in original designs, the first gym leadee (the one before brock, who looks like a kid) would have been a normal type gym leader. Pretty scary, when you consider all normal type moves from the start of the game would have the STAB bonus. Definitely more threatening than brock

I don't know how to get False Swipe TM in original SWSH game, but Ball Guy being 0th Gym Leader should give False Swipe TM instead of Round. It fits "ball used for catching pokemon" so well.

Ball guy was actually just added to masters ex. He has an amogus, I his team would probably be a foongus and Voltorb since he's the first gym

I literally Died in 6:04 XD

I mean it do that if u consider the dojo master right next door to erica

Op bro

Shigeru already got 10 Badges before facing Sakaki so at least there are 11 gyms in Kanto

Always thought Hitmontop was doing Capoeria not break dancing

It’ll be cool if the games had hidden/secret gyms. Some of which would have Pokémon with types that is unique only to that gym. Example: A Pikachu that’s a flying type (not talking about tera). Maybe a gym that is leveled to your level +10. That way the leader will always be stronger then you, level 100 will make theirs 110.

i think paldea should have a rock gym in zaccapico

Kanto already had a 9th gym. It was a fighting type gym in saffron city.

I hope the Unova remakes let you go to all the gyms from there.

For paldea they can just have the stellar tera type to be a 9th paldean gym type

I feel like some region should have the electric type gym with a Toxtricity, Raichu, Dracozolt, Boltund, and the ace being a terastal electric Gyrados. This doesn’t make sense cause they are mostly from Galar but I added a terastal which is from Paldea but it doesn’t matter. I added gyrados cause people would get a ground type to fight but then of course gyrados with terastal would be weak to it but it also has a counter to ground cause I didn’t wanna copy Ionoand her levitate mismagius as her counter

dobbs: dummy tulip me: and i took that personally she is my favorite gym leader

3:17 honestly silver as a gym leader wouldn't make sense in the events of gold silver and crystal because he is already the rival, i think archer should be the gym leader

Dendra Gym Badge doesn't look like a boxing glove it looks 'AMOGUS'

fun fact crasher wake has the same voice actor as odion from yugioh

I always thought there was more gyms then the ones in game. I swear in the anime there was badges from other gyms

Well, I'm glad I'm a member of the discord. Because I can't ring the bell. It won't let me. So, no notifications for me.

for Mr. Fuji a better team would be: -Alolan Marowak -Primeape -Gengar since now Annihilape exist, Primeape is a Pokémon that make sense for a Ghost specialist, and for Alolan Marowak, despite the form don't exist in Kanto, the Marowak spiecies still exist, so would still make sense for a Kanto Gym Leader. The other choosen Pokémon really make no sense for a Ghost specialist. And... I doubt the League would allow a Gym Leader to use the illusions of Ghosts to appear as spirits... the Gym Leaders are supposed to test trainers strenght, this would not test their strenght, would test only if they have bought the Silphscope. I don't really see Silver fit to be a Dark-type specialist considering his lore and story arc, and as Blue proved, Gym Leaders don't need to be specialista at all (and you too in Hoenn made a non-specialist Gym leader), and... no... Silver as a member of TR is so ooc, he hate TR and think they are weak, plus, WHY GENGAR? Murkrow exist, Gengar make no sense for a Dark specialist, is Ghost/Poison. For the Hoenn's Gym, the only Hoenn Pokémon you put there is Wobbuffet. Granbull, Togetic and Slowpoke line don't exist in Hoenn. Togepi being original from Hoenn is completly fake, since the Pokémon don't belong to the regional dex. Riley is pretty clever, but Metang don't belong to Sinnoh, Togekiss would fit better since can learn Aura Sphere if I recall correctly. Ryuki totally deserved to be a Captain... having a trail without Captain is just dumb, that would mean Totem Kommo-o is wild (since the game imply the others are Pokémon of the Captains), and literally NOTHING are preventing trainers to just catch a fucking rare Totem Kommo-o and just take the Z-Crystal, so... yhea, Ryuki deserved to be a Captain in the official games, what GF done is just dumb. Ball Guy need to have Foongus, since Amoonguss is his main. Also, I would have given to him Galarian Stunfisk, since have the mouth that look like a Poké Ball, and make his team more oriented on Balls then round Pokémon (also... I think Voltorb don't exist in Galar, but I'm not totally sure here) Titans and Team Star aren't related to the League... so... that really don't matter... but, yhea I agree with you for the pick

Watch the ninth gym be some random omniboosted dragon threatening to destroy the entire region like Ultra Necrozma from USUM or Giratina from Legends Arceus.

How did this pop up from searching the black shuck footage?
