Something something fair use something something
Larry is the only Paldean gym leader who terastrallizes a pokémon of his type specialty. Also, he's the only gym leader who's also an elite 4 member simultaneously, unlike Koga.
The only other one I could think of is Hala, except he is not a gym leader
@@joeyhiedeman8537 Similar to Acerola, being a Trail Captain and an Elite 4 Member.
@@joeyhiedeman8537 or olivia, who is, ya know, hala's fellow Kahuna? hell, the only elite you didnt meet in the Sun/Moon before as either Trial Captain or Kahuna is Kahili, the flying type elite which gives the flying type shame.
He’s also the only Paldean Gym Leader to battle indoors instead of outdoors unlike the other Paldean Gym Leaders.
Sad that Alola Nanu doesn't becomes an elite 4, or else he can be best duo with larry😂
Clay is a Japanese (so like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh) business man who moved to Unova, and became a cowboy. This is a true fact
Likely Sinnohian given his ancestor
Yeah, apparently it’s a reference to a real trend where Japanese business men will become enthralled with the culture of a country they visit while on business.
his family is japanese, but who knows he may be born in Unova? where's the source?
Gonna guess Solaceon Town in Sinnoh, given how people talk there.
Spoiler alert: he also has a kid who is an Elite 4.
At 7:13 The reason why the triplets didn’t confronted the Sages at N’s castle alongside the other gym leaders was because they were actually intercepted and defeated in battle by the Shadow Triad. The Triad later went on to Shame them by saying that they were too weak, and unworthy of being gym leaders. This made them quit their gym leader career temporarily and focus on training and asked Cheren to replace them as gym leader in the meantime. The cutscene I'm referring to also debunks the theory that the triplets were the shadow triad in secret, explaining why they didn't confront the sages near the end of the story. There are numerous cutscenes (called "Memory Link", which is a feature available in the game) that show what happened to several characters in BW and what happened between BW and BW2, thereby explaining many narratives that the prequel game left unresolved.
Well, the more you know
Never knew the Shadow Triad beat them down, I came to the comments to talk about Bianca being the one to tell all the gym leaders to go help at N's castle and not getting to the brothers in time, but that's fascinating and also kind of sad.
@@vanguardbreaker8826 Yeah, you should look up All the Memory Link Flashbacks because it answers a lot of questions about the Black and White plot.
Cheren replacing the Striaton Gym Leaders when his badge is Lenora's?
@@Bravidunno Also, Roxie replacing Lenora as second gym leader, and Marlon replacing Dreyden (not counting Iris, even if I technically can, but she became champion of Unova after Alder retired - his retirement and reasoning behind it is further explained in the Memory Link Cutscenes of BW2). So yes, it’s possible. This BW games are VERY plot heavy, which is why I consider them the best games of any Pokémon Gen. Seriously underrated gems.
Also another fact that you didn't recognize is that Ryme has a twin sister named Tyme who specializes in rock types. Tyme's hair looks like jagged mountain peaks.
Her back brade/dread also looks like a spine and pelvis, making her even more like a spooky scary sceleton
I thought they were the same person
Tyme is a teacher though
a lotta people just ignored the entire school section huh
@@43dl3ntil I thought she taught at school during the school, then went to manage her gym.
I would love if there is a joke upload along with every proper video and we'd have to guess which one is the proper one
Nah I want serious uploads but joke vids are fine in moderation
YES PLEASE
WDYM he's never had a joke video 😌 /j
this one its 13:37 long
Three fun facts about Valerie! from pokemon X and Y 1: she is originally from Johto 2: she used to be a model and dresses like this as she wants to be a pokemon. She made her own dress too. 3: Her outfit weights 33 pounds and she is actually a bit muscular due to her wearing this outfit.
Another fun fact is that her design is a remnant of the original XY plot which was wayyyyy different and involved aliens, of all things.
@@maxlimit9129 Really! I didn't know that! Awesome! Thank you!
@@maxlimit9129 Guess it could've had Ultra Beasts before the Ultra Beasts were a thing
@@pufnbal1744to expand on what they said, I believe team flare specifically were meant to be aliens in disguise which is probably why their theme sounds odd.
@@IJC039 Very interesting! Now I am curious about what the original story for the game was. Thank you!
Another fact about Katy is that her name comes from Katydid which is a type of Grasshopper. This is reinforced by the fact that she uses Lokix on her team which is based off of a Grasshopper.
Her Japanese name is Kaede, which means maple.
Gordie's name is the diminutive of Gordon, that means "from Scotland" (since Galar it's based on UK and regions close to it). It also sounds similar to "gorge" which is a large valley between two mountains normally split by a river (hence the rock type) Also, I'm pretty sure it's implied that the guy in Bea's rare league card is her martial arts teacher, not a boyfriend (that's why it uses the same kind of clothes as the fighting type npcs). Since her parents made her learn martial arts from a very young age. Given Bea's connection to Korrina in the anime I wouldn't be surprised if Gurkin (Korrina's grandfather) was Bea's martial arts teacher at some point in the past. Katy's hair is meant to look like a cocoon and her voluptuous body type is a very clever design choice made on purpose to make her reference insects with segmented bodies (like ants or wasps for example) to further relate her to the bug type. Which is pretty cool. By the way, Ryme's hair also looks like a spine if you look at her back.
Gordie also likely comes from "gourd", a family of hard-shelld fruits which includes melons, Melon being Melony's Japanese name
It’s from gourd, while Melony’s is from melon
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt That's just part of the inspiration for the name not the entire reason for it. Ever since gen 8 most gym leaders tend to have names related to their type that also are flora-based names.
@@Magical-N That's just part of the inspiration for the name not the entire reason for it. Ever since gen 8 most gym leaders tend to have names related to their type that also are flora-based names.
I've always assumed Gordie's name comes from Geordie, as Circhester is in the North East of Galar and Newcastle is in the North East of England. A Geordie is a name for a person from Newcastle if anyone needed clarification.
Elesa in Pokemon Masters isn't redesigned, it's her Signa Suit, kind of special outfit that most of characters in this game had. Elesa in Master has her BW2 outfit, but BW outfit is available too as "Classic Elesa". Also, there are other outfits for her in this game
either way she is a model, so not too surprised she would have a few spare outfits laying around.
Fun fact: Since Pokémon money is equivalent to Japan’s yen, Valerie’s outfits do not cost $2,000,000. They will however, run you up a check of $14,513.94, which is actually kinda cheap considering how much certain articles of clothing can go for.
He said it was 2 million in game dollars, not 2 million real world dollars.
@@lordofninjas1 Since the in-game currency is equivalent to yen, I simply converted it into actual US dollars, since the use of the word "dollar" might make people assume that the in-game currency is based on dollars. Personally I just call it Poké since that's what PMD calls it.
@@primrosevale1995 I'm well aware of what you did, and while it's true that it is equivalent to Yen and all that, I was more getting at your comment seeming to try and correct an issue that you thought was being made in the video rather than just giving a fun fact. Like it came across as though you thought he said it was 2 million real world dollars so you were trying to correct him in your comment type thing. I tend to call it Pokedollars just because I believe that's what it's officially been called in mainline Pokemon stuff and by the creators and stuff.
@@lordofninjas1 Some people just assume anything with "dollar" in. the name is equivalent to US dollars. I'm simply letting people know.
@@primrosevale1995 I'm aware. I'm just saying maybe word it differently next time, cause it did come across as correcting rather than information giving.
Regarding Raihan, Lance actually based his outfit off of RAIHAN'S! So Raihan wasn't inspired by Lance, but the other way around! Another fun fact about Gordie is that he's the only version exclusive Gym Leader in Galar to not use a Gen 1 Pokémon for Gigantamax. Gordie has a Coalossal as his ace, while Allister chooses Gengar, Bea chooses Machamp, and Melony chooses Lapras. And another Gym Leader that uses an impossible Pokémon is Fantina. In the The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon in BW2, a download tournament within the Pokémon World Tournament, Fantina uses Origin Forme Giratina holding a Ghost Gem. But a Giratina couldn't hold a Ghost Gem outside the Distortion World to turn into its Origin Forme as it needs a Griseous Orb.
Kim Jung Un?
Imagine if Chili, Cilan and Cress had been a triple or Rotation Battle?
Yeah, that's a missed opportunity.
Absolutely AMAZED that they didn't
Since it's the first gym it makes sense that they aren't, but it could have been fun as an optional challenge.
That would’ve been really good in B2W2 when they aren’t the first gym leader anymore
re: Clay I think the fact that he's supposed to be Japanese is pretty interesting. I always saw him as a cliched Texan man but apparently he's based on a character archetype of a Japanese businessman striking it rich in the States
Maybe I’m misinterpreting this, but it’s possible to have a Pokémon learn two egg moves from two different original parent Pokémon. For example in Gen 7 (SMUSUM) my Alolan Nintetales on Sun knows both Freeze Dry & Moonblast. I simply bred a female Alolan Vulpix with a male Sylveon to learn Moonblast. I continued hatching until I got a female Alolan Vulpix that knows Moonblast. Using my 2nd 3DS and I eventually taught my Moon male Smeargle Freeze Dry via battling my Vanilluxe on Sun. Traded the Smeargle over to Sun after the battle, then bred it with my newly evolved female Alolan Ninetales w/ Moonblast. From there Every hatched Alolan Vulpix knows BOTH Freeze Dry & Moonblast, two eggs moves from TWO different parents being Smeargle and Sylveon respectively. I now have so many of these in my Pokémon home, a few of which I transferred over to Gen 8 (SwSh). Currently on Gen 9 (SV) I did a very similar but much easier process having plenty of Baxcalinur knowing both Freeze Dry & Dragon Rush. While yes it’s a very lengthy process however my point is that it’s very much possible to do this legally, without cheats, bots, etc. A Pokémon knowing two eggs moves from different parents isn’t necessarily illegal. Again, let me know if I misinterpreting anything. ☺️
You are correct, he is wrong
Prior to gen 6, offspring could not inherit egg moves from the mother, only the father. So some of those pokemon might really be illegal, although I do think he overlooked a few. For example, Chuck's Sandslash in Stadium 2 should be legal with a male Smeargle if you sketch metal claw and rock slide and then breed it with a female Sandshrew or Sandslash.
@@TodPoleDotCom No, the video is right. In Gen V and before, only the male parent could pass on egg moves, so it would be impossible to have 2 egg moves from 2 different lines. Just to use the Illegal crowbat from 1:05 as an example, Hyponosis and Brave Bird are both egg moves for Zubat, with hypnosis being learned by the HootHoot line and Brave Bird being learned by a couple flying lines, but notably NOT the Hoothoot one. You can breed a female Zubat with a male Hoothoot that knows hypnosis to get a Zubat that knows hypnosis. But from there, how do you get a Zubat that knows both Hypnosis AND Brave Bird. If your Zubat that knows hypnosis is female, it can't pass on hypnosis to it's offspring. If your Zubat that knows hypnosis is male, there's know way for it to learn Brave Bird, and you can't breed it with a female, brave-bird-knowing Starly (for example) because then you're just gonna get Starlies. Ergo, getting a Zubat that knows both Hypnosis and Brave Bird is impossible (prior to gen VI)
Larry using flying type pokemon is subtle reference him wanting to jump off a building
Here's another fact about the two gym leaders of Stow-on-Side. Despite having her glove on her right hand, Bea appears to take a southpaw fighting stance. Mustard is seen doing this exact stance with a few differences. Allister is left-handed, but he appears to be throwing with more focus on his right hand. This likely means either the glove goes on the person's writing hand or they ran out of right-handed ghost trainer gloves. Also, if you make a video for the elite 4, I think you'll also do the same thing you did with Grusha to Rika, saying, "Rika... it's a girl," and whatever else you might say about her. (And I'm still shocked they allowed a literal five-year-old in the elites.)
Or maybe Allister’s ambidextrous?
@@dreamfirefight9456 that would be really cool
@Dream FireFight It's pretty unlikely. There are lefties that can't throw lefty.
5 year old child soldier
@@loojawmanandhar9808 I swear, if Poppy had a full team, even with a monotype team, she'd run circles around other champions. She's that one prodigy that has a certain connection (it doesn't need to involve pokemon) the moment she said her first words.
Larry's use of the flying type in his elite four battle is also a subtle reference to his dream of "flying" off a building.
I will mention one other fact about Erika: she's also a gym leader who's ace has changed 3 times, her ace was Vileplume in gen 1, Bellossom in gen 2 and then Tangrowth in gen 4 (due to her dojo rematch as her strongest mon there is Tangrowth, so I'll count it)
So the main point to keep from this video is that a lot of gym leaders are hacking in illegal Pokémon.
I think we all know what the fact about Lance would be if he made a video on facts about the champions
Iono's name is a pun on both "Ion" and "I don't know". As evidence by her stream intro being "Whosawhatsit? Iono!" as in "Who is that? I don't know!". This is because her Japanese name is "Nanjamo" a phrase roughly meaning "What is that?", and such her ser stream intro in Japanese is "Nanjamon ja? Nanjamo!"
I think the catchphrase would be: Who saw what is it? I don't know!
I head cannon is that Iono has two younger siblings named Annio and Catia
Iono is great
Iono is my second favorite character from gen 9 first is nemona 3rd is penny
Morty went from having bright clothes to having emo clothes 😂
7:08 The reason they didn’t show up is because Bianca was late to inform them so it was over by the time they were able to get there 7:55 He’s one of, if not, the only gym leaders to not give you a tm right after you beat him, he instead gives it to you after he clears the entrance to chargestone cave. I could be wrong about him being the only one to do it, but I don’t remember if any others did that
Clair is another one, but yeah, Clay is the only one not to give both in the same location.
@@wikiuser92 That’s the one I was forgetting about, I forgot she acts like a child when she loses
In the manga, the 3 actually lose to the Shadow Triad not long before the league events take place
@@mysticsquirtle5109 That also happens in the games, as seen via Memory Link in B2W2.
@@randomcommenter6498 Whitney, the Normal type gym leader, is the one that acts like a child after you beat her, the comment you replied to said Clair, the Dragon type gym leader.
While I can confirm that's what gordo/a means in Spanish, that's not where Gordie's name comes from! Like most of the other Galar Gym leaders, their English names are plant-related like their Japanese names. Gordie comes from both gourd as well as Geordie which is a term for people from Newcastle upon Tyne, a place that has been historically known for its coal industry. Though Circhester is based on Bath in Somerset. Also, I'm glad that Norman remains the only father to the player in the games, because the Gym battle between the player and him is symbolic, it's that final approval of the direction his child wants to take. And well...he was the only Hoenn Gym leader I had to rematch. For the designs of the Gyms themselves, I love the Kalos Gyms and the BW2 Unova Gyms the most. Like the fact the first ever Fairy-type Gym was a giant DOLLHOUSE, that the Anistar Gym transforms into somewhere outer space, how chill the Humilau Gym is, or the Nimbasa Gym is now a runway for the queen...they all go so hard. And the BW2 Gyms have different versions of the Gym theme for each Gym...so perfect.
Oh, hello again Avery! I haven't seen you in a while
When I saw the thumbnail, I expected it to be that Brock would try to flirt with Grusha not knowing that he's a boy, and then be heartbroken.
Im disappointed that every fact in the video is not, "(Gym Leader) does not own a Tauros" for the entire runtime. I miss the old Aura Guardian! 😭
Fr💀
That joke was getting stale real fast.
-_-
Aura Guardian just reads off bulbapedia when he's not doing tauros videos
Aggron: What is my purpose? Byron: Head Smash
FINALLY, a fact about Clemont that's not about his name THANK YOU! ya know what you've earned a new subscriber
🍋
@@Magical-N -_-. C🍋t ⚡
9:27 Brassius must be quaking right now. The sheer amount of Sunflora Ramos has puts Artazon to shame!
In the anime, Volkner is ambidextrous. He is also the first Gym Leader to integrate robots into his Gym design and invented the Aipom arm before Clemont. Clemont’s was just smaller and portable.
Even more fun fact about Larry, he is literally me
The extra memories in Black 2 and White 2, that you unlock by linking Black or White with your game, actually provides an explanation as to way Cilan, Chili and Cress never showed up at N's Castle to help out against Team Plasma. In that memory cutscene, the 3 of them were preparing to leave their gym/restaurant and make their way to N's Castle, but they were intercepted by the Shadow Triad, who then proceeded to defeat the 3 brothers in battle.
Geniunely mindblowing to realize Wulfric is the last official gym battle Ash ever had. Honestly what a fight to go out on though- one of the coolest (no pun intended) gym leaders, and Ash-Greninja vs Mega Abomasnow was an absolute work of art.
Too bad Mega Abomasnow in-game is sh*t
what about journeys?
@@somechupacabrawithinternet8866 last _official_ gym battle
The fight was so trash. Literally just the Candice fight from DP but with crappy power ups that cheaps the fight and removes any semblance of challenge in the fight.
@@seineevee what do you mean by that?
my favourite fact about Skyla is that all of her Pokémon in her Gym battle in Black 2 and White 2 begin with the letter S, for Skyla: she has a Swoobat, a Skarmory, a Swanna, and in Challenge Mode she also has a Sigilyph
I spent quite a lot of time looking for a town around Grusha's gym 😂
8:52 Marlon: *is voiced by Ted Lewis (aka the iconic King DeDeDe voice from the Kirby anime)* Also Marlon: I NEED A CARRACOSTA TO CLOBBAH DAT DERE NATE/ROSA!
“All of Miriam's Pokémon refer to specific types of medicine and healing: Hypno refers to hypnotherapy and sleeping well, Pincurchin represents acupuncture and possibly shock therapy, Sawsbuck represents aromatherapy and medicinal herbs, Glalie refers to cryotherapy and possibly a cold compress such as an ice pack, Eelektross most likely refers to either a defibrilator or leeching, and Toxapex references acupuncture once again, as well as the use of venom in medicine.” From bulbapedia. I know not a gym leader
Miriam was definitely the best academy character you can interact with
I’m not sure if it was you or not, but I think it was, but I recently a few days ago initiated a Tera Raid Battle, in which it turned out to be a shiny Breloom, and I’m pretty sure you participated in it because one of the players had a Lucario named, AuraGuardian and the username was Alex. My Pokémon was an Armorouge named Garredson. I just wanted to say, thank you, in case it was you, for helping me catch my first Tera raid shiny Pokémon. If it wasn’t you, have a good day either way :-)
Probably a fan
Idk whether or not it was the real AG, but putting that aside, congrats on the shiny!
@@HerMajestyVelvet Thank you. :-)
Cheren fact, he’s the only 1st Gym Leader in a region who has a neutral type to any starter you might choose. Every other 1st leader, depending on who you choose, has a potential advantage or disadvantage against your starter Pokémon’s type.
Except Paldea; since TECHNICALLY you can fight any leader in any order. Nothing is stopping you form going after Larry or the Psychic gym first...
@@raikaria3090 You are technically correct. The best kind of correct
Another fact, maybe not fun idk, about Raihan is that the guy’s well over 2m tall (like 7ft) lmao if you know it makes sense why he towers over the player in the conversation after the battle and why his hand is like thrice as big but still lmao he also has an undercut and dreads which would be much more visible without his damn hat lmao. i hate his hat with a passion.
Surprised you didn’t mention the fact that Allister’s mask directly references Shy Guys from the Mario games.
The reference fits since allister is a pretty shy guy
I always thought Gordie had his name based on the word "gourd," like a pumpkin, just as Melony would be based on "melon" as in watermelon.
melon in Melony stands for something else
Plus melons are part of the gourd family
Gourd, as in a big pen*s
Honestly Kofu should have been the double battle in Gen 9 using Tatsugiri and Dondozo. Would have been way more fitting than the Titan encounter we got. Wulfric in his XY Gym battle has an Abomasnow that only knows 3 moves. I think the most interesting fact about Clay is that his family has the tradition of passing down the hat that he wears (or the overall design of it as Lian's hat in Legends Arceus is ever so slightly different in artwork but it's a bit bigger in the game). If it's indeed the same hat, it's the only object that survived the Hisuian time period, possibly making it longer lasting than the original design of the pokeball.
Not saying I'd want the stat boosts we get in double battle gym leaders but at least it'd thematically make sense since Dozo gets a plus two boost to all their stats.
Candice has actually used FOUR different aces. In BDSP, her strongest Pokémon in her rematches is Weavile. That woman needs to make up her mind.
Another fun fact about my boy grusha, he actually explains that Geeta was trying to replace him because he wasn't winning enough, but he starts trying harder after
He was also a champion snowboarder, but after six wins, got injured, and is a bit bitter about it.
@@AgdaFingers this poor man is just losing everything
0:06 there's a good reason why Brock had no rock type moves in gen 1... there were literally only 2 rock type moves, with both of his pokemon being too low leveled to get either of them (Geodude gets Rock Throw at lv 16, and Onix gets it at lv 19)
You missed one good fact about Opal: In her concept artwork sheet there's a portrait showing her in her young years.
The thing I remember most about Burgh is that, while everyone else’s gym badge gives some sort of deep or inspiring quote, his is just “Use Bug-Type Pokémon!”
he wants us to lose
Could we get "1 Fact about every Elite Four Member in Pokémon" Next?
The dub for the Ash versus Roxie episode came out a week before Black 2 and White 2 had released in the states. While the original release had come out nine days before the games did in Japan. So, it's likely this was used as promotional material for both countries. Seeing as the episode had come out in a similar timeframe to the games for both places. America being a six-day difference while Japan had a nine-day difference instead. Another fun fact I suppose. 👍
another fun fact about larry is that currently he's the only character who not only is a gym leader but also an elite four member at the same time koga may have been the first gym leader to make elite four statues but he was only known as an elite four member not a gym leader his daughter took over the gym
Gordie’s name is actually a pun on “gourd” to match his mother, MELONy. They’re both named after melons in Japanese too.
7:27 Lenora’s apron was considered insensitive because it pretty strongly evoked the mammy stereotype of Black women - obviously not intended but it’s not some mystery or secret as to why it was changed
Of course. It's a japanese game but let's push US American BS. It's not our fault those people enslaved blacks.
I'm expecting the Classic Aura Troll to activate on Larry
11:19 I've always guessed that Gordie's name comes from Geordie. Galar is of course based on Britain and a Geordie is a name for some from Newcastle in the North East of England. Circhester is in the North East of Galar. Circhester is similar to real town in the North East called Chester-le-Street. Finally, Gordie has black and white on his clothes, that look a bit like stripes. The football team Newcastle United are sometimes called the Geordies and wear black and white striped shirts.
The most interesting thing about Clay is that he probably drives a Ford F150 while listening to Tigeres del Norte and dealing with incompetent workers at his Ranch.
wait, crasher wake without his mask is a daddy? this changes EVERYTHING-
I think it’s commendable that Roxie almost defeated all 6 of Ash’s Pokémon while she only used 3.
Roxie is awesome she's my favorite trainer in pokemon
13:09 **Insert that one 4chan post**
There is dialogue somewhere in Pokemon Masters, which says that Lance based his HGSS outfit off of the Hammerlocke gym uniform.
Another fact for Bea and Allister is that they are the highest leveled fourth gym leaders, with their aces being Level 36. The next highest is Ramos and LGPE Erika with their aces being Level 34.
If only it was a fact that all other seven gym leaders in Generation 6 had mega evolution. Hopefully it happens if the future XY remakes is confirmed.
Bad enough the Elite Four in the games don't have the most iconic battle mechanic. Not even in a rematch. So good on the anime.
Maybe save them for the rematch I don't wanna face a lvl 12 Mega Pinsir with a tiny frog on my team
6:05 No one cared who I was until I put on the mask
Informative vid, and was really cool overall!!
I really love how you put Lucarios in the background💜
9:13 also adding in that Korrina is one of a few gym leaders/kahunas that get more than one battle theme in a game series. The others being Hala and Olivia in the sun and moon games, the gym leaders you battle in the champions cup in Sw/Sh and Larry in Gen 9. Also on Valerie's outfit if you convert Pokedollar which is comparable to yen. From yen to usd as of this comment, Valerie's outfit costs over $14K
Fun fact about Raihan: He's NOT the first Gym Leader to specialize in a weather condition. That belongs to Justy from Colosseum, who uses a Sandstorm team
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :) Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu.
1:48 There is another fun fact about this mispelling. Giovanni is meant to be some sort of rappresentation of the Italian mafia; well, his mispelled version, "Giovani", is the plural for "young" in italian.
Valerie, according to Masters, also makes all her own clothing. So she didn't pay 2 million for it, she sells it for 2 million.
12:52 The rest of the skeleton is on Ryme's back xD.
iirc the reason Cilan, Chili and Cress don't appear at N's castle is because by the time they heard about what was going on, everything was basically over anyway, and they'd have never been able to arrive to do anything even if they had left immediately
you’re making this pokéspe fan very happy with this vid!
Some stuff might actually be possible, you can have 2 egg moves on a mon, multiple breeding does this (done this myself on many occasions). And some evolved forms can be encountered at lower level in the wild, eg a lvl 9 Pidgeotto in Red and blue for example.
Janine's Crobat was definitely foreshadowing for how egg moves would be taught in Scarlet/Violet. It all comes together now.
Are egg moves taught via orgy now?
Another fact about Sabrina which is related to the games instead of the manga: She's a movie star, appearing in one of the later Pokestar Studios films. Brycen is one as well, but a lot more players know that since he plays the villain of the only film which is mandatory to complete in order to progress.
Expanding on the fun fact about Marlon, his VA, Ted Lewis, also voiced King Dedede in the English dub of Kirby Right Back At Ya
10:08 I audibly reacted when I saw Olympia, cuz I had completely 100% forgot this character ever existed. Anyone else?
Not just her! Aside from Korrina, I don't remember who ANY of the Kalos Gym Leaders are.
here is me going through them blind Viola Grant Korrina Ramos forgor💀
Possibly fun fact about Clay, he wears a wool hat underneath his cowboy hat
Ted Lewis also voices King Dedede in the Kirby anime
"Believe it or not" I do believe it, it's very noticiable for those who know about the mammy stereotype
Tate is named "Ben" in German which made me confused why he could be mistaken as a girl. And Liza is named "Svenja"
Came for Larry. Stayed for the Rest.
The Brawly fun fact surprised me cuz I clearly overlooked it when I played but I do remember him saying something like that! I didn't make the connection with Twitch plays Pokemon tho XD
Brycen also changed his type speciality. He used to be an actor, and he reprised his role in BW2. His actor team is Dark type.
8:01 we must stay focused everybody we must
Fun fact about Grusha- his knitted scarf is goddamn IMPOSSIBLE unless joining together multiple knit sections. The ends are clearly tubes knit in the round and then laid flat, with how the little v shapes are going inward from the edge. But the portion thats wrapped around his head looks to have been knitted long and flat, and then had top and bottom joined into one long tube. The v shapes that were going up and down the pink/blue stripes are now going SIDEWAYS across the scarf and theres no *easy way* to DO that while knitting, not if you want a seamless result! That scarf had to be knit completely, CUT IN HALF and then had the middle section added because???? The pokeball at the end is plausible tho. Just a bit of fiddling with stranded knitting and it could be done.
I think his scharf is just 3 stripe going one direction but it still takes like 3 portions but they just look sideways around his neck becouse how he wears it. Its still difficult but yeah not so hard
As someone who has always hated Clay for some inexplicable reason the fact that you couldn't find anything interesting about him makes me laugh so hard.
his type is: plot/device
Gordie's name is more likely just from gourd, as his mother is Melony after melon, both being related fruits. Grant is the only Gym Leader to have no ace Pokemon in the main series. He only has two Pokemon - Tyrunt/Tyrantrum and Amaura/Aurorus - which are both the same level in both his main battle and his rematches at the Battle Chateau. Because he sends his Amaura out second, most people treat Amaura as his ace, and his currently-only Sync Pair in Pokemon Masters EX features his Aurorus. Brassius' art references an unnamed artist in ORAS, whose work was turned away by the Lilycove Art Museum. He will sell you the Meditative Seat, the Heterarchical Loop, and the Paradoxical Popper for your Super Secret Base, which can all be found in Scarlet/Violet around Artazon. Brassius himself criticises his older works as derivative, as he only created them for money. Tulip's Fighting-types also reference her friendship with Dendra, who specialises in Fighting-types and is in turn heavily associated with the Psychic/Fighting Medicham. Marlon is one of the rare Gym Leaders with an identifiable accent - in the Japanese version, he speaks with a Kyushu accent, translated to surfer lingo for the English version. Larry being an ordinary guy even extends to his signature Pokemon - Staraptor, a common early-game bird Pokemon.
I think one for Clay is that he is the second ground type gym leader. With Giovanni being the 1st in gen one, that's 3 generations without a new gym leader for a specified type which I believe is the longest gap for such a thing.
•Flying has more with Skyla in Gen 5 and then Gens 6, 7, 8, and 9 not having a Flying gym leader. •Normal is tied with Ground with the gap between Lenora/Cheren in Gen 5 and Larry in Gen 9. •Ghost with the gap between Fantina in Gen 4 and Allister in Gen 8 unless you count Trial Captains as Gym Leaders then you have Acerola in Gen 7. •Steel also has more than Flying with the gap between Byron in Gen 4 and no Steel Gym Leader since then. •most of these break if you start including Elite 4 and type specialists and such into the mix as well.
meanwhile the starter types are the shortest, getting one every gen.
Am I miss remembering egg moves from back then? Janine's Crobat is 100% legit. You just breed one move into the Zubat before the other. The Zubat will pass down any egg moves it already knows.
I had the same thought, but I think some of them may actually be illegal given their generation. Apparently before gen 6 the mother couldn't pass on egg moves, only the father. So you could get the first move onto a baby Zubat, but if the baby was female it wouldn't be able to contribute that new move to its offspring, and if it was male you wouldn't be able to get the second move onto its offspring. Some of the "illegal" pokemon should be possible with Smeargle though, like Chuck's Sandslash.
@@rudyhummel1474 One of the most known illegal egg moves Pokémon is Azumarill with Aquajet and Belly Drum. It was illegal before Gen6.
Love how many facts there are from the Pokemon Adventures manga!!
I just wish he'd stop calling it "the" manga
damn i thought larry changing to flying types in the elite 4 was a subtle referance to the fact he wants to jump off a building
The Shield gym leaders are 100% my favourite. I love their designs and personalities. They're perfection.
Melonys personality. Sure bud. ;P
@@theghost00 why did they nerfed her in the artwork tho
I thought the origin for Gordie's name was just "gourd", you know, since his mom Melony is pretty obviously deriving her name from "melon"
It is. Almost every important character in Pokémon is named after some type of plant.
That makes a lot of botanical semse as Melony is names "Melon" in Japan and melons are part of the gourd family
resisting the urge to make the super obvious joke
How did I not know, When the fact is so damn cool, About Olympia?! 🤯
As pointed out by my 9-year-old daughter - the back of Ryme's hair also looks like a skeletal spine, ending in a pelvis!
Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure there's an option to fight two gym leaders when you're able to fight Pryce, which means there isn't a "previous" gym battle because they're supposed to be even.
Yep. You can technically fight Chuck, Jasmine, and Pryce in any order. All three become available to you once you have the Surf HM.
Coulda talked about how Clay almost got Dream canceled
???
12:10 For Katy's apron logo, the one shown in the game was a mistake by the team working on her model since in the character sheet they release, you can clearly see the design on her and a close up view 🤗
The logo design also doesn't appear on the pokemon cards, sadly 😢
I'm pretty sure that Gordie is Melodie's son, I heard it somewhere, but that was a long time ago...
