    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. ☺️

      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)

    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.)

    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.

    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.

      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.

      Yep. You can technically fight Chuck, Jasmine, and Pryce in any order. All three become available to you once you have the Surf HM.

    Another fun fact about Winona or Wallace whichever is cool but in the manga they dated each other

    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

    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!
