What If Each Gym Leader Was A Champion

I can’t believe how much better the crystal sprites look compared to the modern day pokemon sprites…

Hope this becomes a series, would love to see future gens

Brock got an upgrade! Imagine going from first gym leader to champion.

Hidden power “GRASS” covers all fire Pokémon weakness.

Giving Erika a Meganium instead of a Venusaur deserves a like man! Good Choice.

Misty's Starmie should know Thunder > thunderbolt

Great builds for these gym leaders! A nice, versed, and well-rounded builds with thoughtful monotype champions! The kanto starters being featured and not being cliche aces is really nice. Really like the setup and strats used with each team having a variety of options. Love the competitive style of the builds!

Rain Dance doesn't boost Thunderbolt. It does make the separate move Thunder ignore accuracy and evasion checks though. Having* said that, great video and an interesting thought experiment!

this was such a wonderful vid, insta sub. another comment alrdy mentioned the thunderbolt/rain thing, so i wont bother with that but i will say starmie could use thunder instead of thunderbolt, since rain is more than likely gonna be active, same for many of lt surges mons, tho i would keep thunderbolt on some of them tbh. another suggestion would be to change ampharos into an annoyer supportmon fully with dual screens, thunder wave, and attract (or swagger.) destiny bond instead of explosion, and fire blast instead of curse on weezing would help diversify the first 3 mons. would for sure give nidoqueen thunderbolt, ice beam, sludge bomb, shadow ball. instead of toxic for crobat, id go with confuse ray to diversify status conditions a bit more. for mr mime id change hypnosis for sunny day, which would set up slowkings flamethrowers, espeons morning sun, or zam's fire punches. i feel like that would be more helpful overall than inaccurate sleeps. alternatively, substitute would be really cool for the baton passing strat. anyways, sorry for the ramble, but this was really fun to watch, as im sure it was creating. i hope you do more!

You did a great job with this list. The only thing I would change would be to swap out the Blastoise one Misty's team for Gyarados. Misty had one in the anime and is arguably her strongest Pokémon. Hidden Power Flying would do some serious damage to Grass types. Since we can give Pokémon moves from other generations, Gyarados could be given Earthquake. This would destroy any slow Electric types or those that have been frozen. Hydro Pump would be the third move for general damage and the fourth is customizable. Thunder can be selected to take advantage of the rain or Ice Beam for Dragon type coverage.

The sprites are on another level of beauty, man I love crystal but the team compositions and story of the game was made with no mind😅😅😅

Fun video. Thanks for the content :)

Really good video, you could easily turn this concept into a series and do one for each gen, I'd watch em all

It would have been cool if after you became champ you went to The tv and would every once in a while get an announcement that someone new dethroned the elite four champ

Very cool video

Such a fun video, good stuff!

In stadium 2 Erika actually uses a vaporeon something cool to mention

Great video, hoping you do one for Gen 2 as well!

Kirby: Comin' At Ya was my favorite anime (jokes aside I like your lists)

Seeing all these overworld sprites of the Gym Leaders got me thinking. Everyones haircolor more or less matches with how they should look, except for Sabrina who goes from black haired to a ginger for some reason.
