I've thought a lot about this myself, and I think I would have a canine themed gym. The gym itself would be set up like a dog pound, where you have to use switches to get through the gates to get to me. If you get the switch correctly, you'll be confronted by a member of the "staff", and they'll tell you you're entering an employee only area, and proceed to battle you with some sort of canine Pokémon. If you hit the incorrect switch, you open a cage, and a dog Pokémon is released and will attack you, to which you must battle and *defeat it to move on. 3 different gates to get through, all of which can release Granbull, Furfrou, and Stoutland. The first trainer will have Poochyena, the second will have Electrike and Zoroark, and the last trainer will have a Boltund, Midnight Lycanroc, and Lucario. Once all are defeated, you will face me, the top dog (pun definitely intended), the dog catcher. My team will consist of Manectric, Theivul, Arcanine, Midday Lycanroc, Mega Houndoom, and my ace, Mightyena. (Why is the mega not my ace? Because shut up Mightyenas my favorite lol.) Yes, I understand how easily bodied my gym gets by a good ground or fighting type, but hey, it was fun to make.
That's awesome! And way more detailed and thought out than mine lol. I didn't even think about region. I'd definitely want to be in Hoenn, but Lycanroc and Theivul kinda put a stop to that. Unless they make another Hoenn remake in the future.

If I were in a multi battle, I'd be partnered with Caitlin of the Unova elite four and she would have her Gothitelle and a Mega Gardevoir (because why not) and I'd have Espeon and Alakazam.

If I was a gym leader I would have a gmax toxtricity BUT zamazenta and zacian would appear and let us gigantamax our Pokemon here it comes gmax .................... lycanroc!!!!!!!! Gmax move is gmax mountain poke
9:55 a grass gym in Lilycove? That reminds me of when i was playing through omega ruby version and May asked me “are u here for the shopping?” when i was there and i was like “no! i am here to challenge the gym!” *i find out there is not a gym in Lilycove* Me: oh, thought a gym was here
Of all the "if I were a gym leader" vids out there, this is best. Well thought out, detailed design, and creativity within the constructs of the current game. GREAT work Ron!
I love this so much. You put so much detail into it. You made me feel like I was there for all of it. Meeting you at the front of the gym, walking through the forest, finding you at the stadium, and when you Gigantamax your Pokémon. It was beautifully done. I’d LOVE to battle your gym in real life and in the Pokémon games! Also, choosing a light theme wasn’t a cop out. It totally made sense.
Welp I’m Pretty early. Anyone else always dreamt of having a Pokémon partner? I’ve been thinking of it since I played Pokémon diamond when I was one. Yes. Since I was one. I’d probably be a steel type gym leader with a mawile and lucario as my aces. I don’t care about steel much, but mawile and lucario, their my favorite. I’d probably have a floatzel on my team, so ground and fire can actually backfire. And probably a copperajah, and probably a skarmory, and an alolan sandshrew. My gym challenge would be one where it is a huge maze, where you have to use an Can y’all tell me what your team and typing would be if you had a gym. I might edit this for a gym challenge. Have fun and stay healthy
I would be a steel gym leader too in opelucid city (Black Version)Cuz i love the futuristic Vibes it gives. I have 3 pokémons cuz most gym leaders in unova have 3 themselves. Member 1 Lucario Lvl 46 Ability:Inner Focus Item:Choice Scarf Close Combat Flash Cannon Ice Punch Psychic Member 2 Magnezone Lvl 46 Ability:Sturdy Item:Air Baloon Thunderbolt Volt Switch Flash Cannon HP Water My ace Member Excadrill Lvl 48 Ability:Mold Breaker Item:Choice Band EQuake Iron Head Rock Slide X-Scissor Your team is pretty sweet!And i hope you are staying safe internet person!
i guess im gonna try: Mixed types, like blue/raihan I would allow it to be like gen 8 with megas Gym location: Humilau city (i would replace marlon), the 8th gym. Gym puzzle: you have to swim through a short water puzzle, then walk through a small meadow with traps, then soar through the sky with rings to fly through My team: Noivern female (infiltrator) level 50 @wise glasses Air slash, dragon pulse, flamethrower, roost Heracross male (mega) (skill link) muscle band level 52 Close combat, pin missile, aerial ace, night slash Volcarona female (flame body) level 51 @leftovers (from relic castle) Flamethrower, bug buzz, Giga drain, quiver dance Weavile male level 53 (pickpocket) @razor claw Night slash, psycho cut, ice punch, brick break Gliscor male level 52 (poison heal) @toxic orb Fire fang, earthquake, acrobatics, steel wing Starmie level 51 (natural cure) @??? Ice beam, psychic, surf, power gem Luxray male level 55 (intimidate) @never melt ice Ice fang, thunderbolt/fang, crunch, play rough Yes, theres 2 bug types, i dont mind
Ron is the only youtuber (and I watch a lot: sidemen, donut, TRC, F.I., etc.) that holds my attention from start to finish. Cheers mate!! Good job as always
I have to say your idea of making a gym a theme-gym, rather than a type-gym, is pretty awesome. I hope the gyms in the future games are like that since it will make the games more fun, unexpected and versatile.
I would be a water type gym leader with my team being: Mega-Swampert: my favourite Pokemon being my first ever Pokemon being Mudkip. Kingdra: My star pokemon in heart gold Gyarados: why not Wailord: it is T H I C C Milotic: it is E P I C And finally the last pokemon is gmax Drednaw: Drednaw is lit. The challenge would be to swim through a water maze and you would be challenging 3 trainers
I'd probably have a similar idea to Ron's but with the performing arts instead. Though otherwise it would probably be a fire gym and my ace is either Houndoom or Delphox since dark and psychic are my 2nd and 3rd favorite types after fire. The mixed team would probably be: Gigantamax Toxtricity (not much of a punk person though much of the music I like does have it's origins from hardcore/crust punk specifically like thrash metal and metalcore) Obstagoon (Because well I'm a metalhead) Primarina (My favorite starter) Mr. Rime (I'd rather it Mr. Mime but I might as well be consistent and put the Gen 8 version here) Incineroar (not too big on wrestling though since he's a heel show wrestler, I think he fits) Chatot (Wigglytuff could've worked too, but I wanted something with a different type) I'd probably either do a quiz show of song trivia since music is really important to me (Like for example that one Earthbound joke regarding Yesterday by The Beatles), or make it similar to those contests like the ones from Hoenn and Sinnoh.
Possibly the most detailed and most thought out "If i was a Pokemon Gym Leader" video ive possibly ever watched, ive always known you made great content but this really blew me out of the park, ya shoulda gone past 1 million already but yet you're here, i hope you reach the milestone soon and thanks for an amazing video :D
If I were a galarian gym leader, I'd use bug types because its tied with psychic for my favorite type and there's no gym leader that uses it yet (Avery actually is a gym leader, he's in the minor league) The gym would be located in ballonlea, because the original gym there had a butterfly on the front, so it fits. Also it's a theatre and I love acting sooo The gym challenge would be like undertale, where you have the pacifist and genocide. At the start a league staff member asks you if you want to battle trainers or solve puzzles. Battling the trainers is the genocide run, and the puzzles is pacifist. Might as well explain the puzzles. There's four puzzles, each of which are inspired by a different area from undertale. The first one will have something to do with switches hidden behind pillars (ruins), the second has a bunch of x-es on the floor, and you have to turn each one into an o to progress, but if you step on an o it will become a triangle (snowdin), the third has you on a raft that floats to four different glyphs that rotate between 20 trivia questions and if you get one wrong the questions reset and you go back to the beginning (waterfall), and the fourth has you do mettaton's tile puzzle, where: - Green tiles make a noise and then you have to fight a monster (in pokemon it can make a cry and then you encounter a pokémon) - Orange tiles make you orange- scented - Blue tiles are water tiles that you can swim through unless you're orange scented, then the piranhas will bite you - Purple tiles slide you over to the next tile, but the slippery gel smells like lemons, which piranhas don't like - Yellow tiles are electric and zap you if you step on them, sending you back to the previous one (if it's next to a blue tile, the water will zap you too) - Red tiles are impassable - Pink tiles don't do anything On the pacifist run, my team consists of: - Vikavolt - Golisopod - Vespiqueen - Crustle - Gmax Orbeetle And on the genocide run its: - Shedinja (I'd explain why but this comment is already as long as an essay so sorry) - Gmax Orbeetle If you think this is too complicated or unfair, that's the point. If you think its dumb that it's inspired by undertale, I know. It is. If you think this comment is way too long, you are correct. Edit: I added the shedinja to represent sans, but I didn't know about wonder guard... I'll still keep it tho
The moment you said there wasn't a bug type gym leader I was very confused because I remember Bugsy so well (he gave me a lot of trouble 'cause I chose Chikorita and didn't catch any pokemon, so my only other pokemon was a rather disobedient tangela my sibling gave me)
@@platinumnova6485 Ah fair. The way you worded it didn't make it clear you meant in galar. Fun Fact that I just remembered, there's no dark type gym leader yet (unless there's a galarian one I.. Don't actually know the types of all the galar gyms so they might've had the first dark type gym leader.)
I love how he had to look deep into himself to find what type of gym leader he is. Every bit of the gym’s challenge I would love if I could play a game with it in. He spends hours to make these videos and I appreciate that, thanks dude, we love ya. ❤️
Heres mine :) Type: Steel 1. Lucario 2. Bisharp 3. Magnezone 4. Forretrest 5. Aegeslash (sry for bad spelling) 6. Mega Scizor Im a gen 6 gym leader in the town of snowpoint I go to the pokemon village to train my beloved steel type pokemon. My pokemon fight the frosty pokemon around the town to train. Gym puzzle: technically the same as the normal snowpoint gym puzzle but with big gears. You earn the hardened badge. "I wish you good luck at the pokemon league.
You’d end up as the gym everyone hates. A timed maze, entry hazards, and something that forces recoil will be very rage inducing. Also Pin flurry sounds like a multi hit move. RIP gym challengers.
That... Was... AWESOME! I love the concept you came up with and As a guy who enjoys taking pictures of the sky at different times of day I really like this gym idea, Awesome Job!
I honestly think that your gym/ meeting with the trainer just seems more thought out and personal then any that I’ve seen in the game personally. Just has more personality, and less forced then some (like Whitney in heart gold for example). I would love to see a fan game made with this concept added in, whether you were the leader or not
I really hope GameFreak takes notes from you! Having teams with themes instead of always the monotype would be so interesting and make having diverse teams of your own so much more important and fun!
The Sceptile gmax art is amazing. And the name G-Max Pin Flurry that causes recoil every time the opponent hits Sceptile with a physical move is a cool name and has a cool effect. Keep it up with your amazing videos.
I would have something similar, my last pokemon would be serperior, since snivy was my first starter and is my favourite pokemon. It's just sad that the snivy line was cut :(
See those islands on the galar map? that’s where my gym is. it’s based on eeveelutions. i have a: Jolteon (best pokemon) Flareon (second best) Glaceon (third best) Vaporeon Umbreon G-Max Eevee Gym mission: there’s a type that is shown on a screen or something. there’s 3-6 type options down below. you gotta choose one that’s super effective. Wrong is a trainer battle.
Theme: forest Region: galar Pokémon: 1.Gliscor 2. Gigalith 3. Beartic 4. Torrtera 5.luxray 6. Blastoise Ace: I wink at blastoise, and he winks at me and then I say, well, you beat my first 5 Pokémon, but you won’t beat my partner! My partner, my best friend, blastoise, GIGANTAMAX!!! Location: on the mountains to the right of the map. Types: water, grass, rock, ground flying and electric Arena name: forest stadium Badge name: mountain badge ( named after the veiw of the galar region’s nature and mountains in the seating area ) Gym challenge: a very high up parkour “game” which you press separate buttons to flip, jump, vault, and climb. It’s high up so be careful!! Gym number: 11
My Type If I was a Gym Leader: Fighting Breloom: Grass/Fighting. Poliwrath: Water/Fighting. Hawlucha(sp): Flying/Fighting. Hariyama(sp): Fighting. Pangoro. Heracross.
We can start a place for everyones opinion for a pokemon team If I was a gym leader I would pick: Dragon First:Haxorus Kingdra Gabite Hydreigon Dragonair Finally:Salamence
It's one of the most unique pokevid ever seen by him. Very eager to have a fight with you in a virtual world (where gym leaders would be able to fight in gen 9 or so) You be a bug type and I will be a ice type gym leader my name would be silverlight and my lvl 50 team would be 1.Frosmoth 2.Mamoswine 3.Froslass 4.Walrein 5.My mega abomasnow 6.And my gigantamax Avalugg Hope to meet you soon virtually! And my theme would be a glass maze (glass made of ice) There would be a lot of ice trainers who would wait for the player to arrive after solving each ice puzzle And lastly my gym batch would be a light batch 💡. Every time you touch it.it would give you a pinch of coldness which would remind you of all the hardwork you took to reach at the great level you are.
My gym ideas Gym types: rock type and fighting type My Pokemon: geodude, onix, golem, and gegamaxs machamp Badge: the rock punching badge Number of trainers: 2 Gym mission: rock climbing. and at the halfway mark there will be a double battle. and when you win the other part of the gym mission will appear so you can reach me
I'd be a Dark type gym leader. This would be my team: 1: Drapion 2: Bisharp 3: Hydreigon 4: Gigantamax Grimmsnarl My rematch team would include a Mega Absol
i love the art of you as gym leader you look so chill you look like someone that people would hang out with and take a relaxing walk idk maybe not you just seem like a chill dude
I like Ron because hes got a real good grasp of WHAT pokémon is all about. He has a clear idea on what makes them unique, gives solid criticism when needed, and doesnt stick to the safer design choices found with most fakemon. I think this is the most believable fake gym leader i've ever seen. Nice job Ron
*G-MAX PIN FLURRY!* I must say, I really like the name and side-effects of that move, really does make a lot more sense than some of the other G-Max moves.. Well done, really enjoyed the video! Liked as always! ;D
Epic video my dude. I have to say it’s very thought out and planned nicely. My only nit pick is a gym leader should never be distracted from a battle. You might be creating a beautiful stage for the battle but gym leaders are disciplined despite their demeanor and should be focused solely on the match. Even childish leaders like Whitney don’t look away. Of course I’m interpreting this as if it’s the anime. Either way it was a great watch!
I love how well thought-out he made this video. Like seriously that would be a gym challenge that I would expect from a main series Pokemon game. Very well done.
I know I’m way late on this video but I really like your thought process on this. Definitely a very different way to look at it but that brings a unique twist that other people that have made similar types of videos haven’t come close to. Very well done!

If i was a gym leader my team would be level 44 Lycanroc level 45 golduck level 46 Umbreon level 47 Sceptile Gmax
Wish I had a double battle with you and mandjtv.as a elite batlle before the champion
Yes! I was wondering what your team would be! I was gonna make my own region with you as a gym leader!
If I was a gym leader I would have a gmax toxtricity BUT zamazenta and zacian would appear and let us gigantamax our Pokemon here it comes gmax .................... lycanroc!!!!!!!! Gmax move is gmax mountain poke
I'd rather not be forced into a mono-type team if I were a Gym Leader, but if I had to pick one, I'd probably go for Psychic.
9:55 a grass gym in Lilycove? That reminds me of when i was playing through omega ruby version and May asked me “are u here for the shopping?” when i was there and i was like “no! i am here to challenge the gym!”
*i find out there is not a gym in Lilycove*
Me: oh, thought a gym was here
:000000
I thought so too, turns out Tate and Liza were in Mossdeep.
This whole theme feels so wholesome that I wish was real....
Lets all just appreciate on how he took the time to plan out the dialogues and present it in such a great way
You are very creative and inspiring, you just always think outside the box, thank you!
Nobody:
Ron: W A L K
*Crys in furret*
Thats pretty much right
He can walcc
He chad
Beth
Thanks... It hurts...
Don’t we wish this was a actual gym leader! Keep up the good work!

This is something I really love, the idea is beautiful and I love it when Pokétubers do their gyms
You're so wholesome, I love you so much.
Of all the "if I were a gym leader" videos this was the best due to all those details. Also the idea of a multi-type gym is great.
Of all the "if I were a gym leader" vids out there, this is best. Well thought out, detailed design, and creativity within the constructs of the current game. GREAT work Ron!
I love this so much. You put so much detail into it. You made me feel like I was there for all of it. Meeting you at the front of the gym, walking through the forest, finding you at the stadium, and when you Gigantamax your Pokémon. It was beautifully done. I’d LOVE to battle your gym in real life and in the Pokémon games! Also, choosing a light theme wasn’t a cop out. It totally made sense.
Welp I’m Pretty early. Anyone else always dreamt of having a Pokémon partner? I’ve been thinking of it since I played Pokémon diamond when I was one. Yes. Since I was one. I’d probably be a steel type gym leader with a mawile and lucario as my aces. I don’t care about steel much, but mawile and lucario, their my favorite. I’d probably have a floatzel on my team, so ground and fire can actually backfire. And probably a copperajah, and probably a skarmory, and an alolan sandshrew. My gym challenge would be one where it is a huge maze, where you have to use an
Can y’all tell me what your team and typing would be if you had a gym. I might edit this for a gym challenge. Have fun and stay healthy
I would be a steel gym leader too in opelucid city (Black Version)Cuz i love the futuristic Vibes it gives.
I have 3 pokémons cuz most gym leaders in unova have 3 themselves.

Mr. Nobody oh yeah excadrill! I totally forgot he existed! I might not add him but he is absolutely awesome!
i guess im gonna try:
Mixed types, like blue/raihan
I would allow it to be like gen 8 with megas
Gym location: Humilau city (i would replace marlon), the 8th gym.

My team:
Noivern female (infiltrator) level 50 @wise glasses
Air slash, dragon pulse, flamethrower, roost
Heracross male (mega) (skill link) muscle band level 52
Close combat, pin missile, aerial ace, night slash
Volcarona female (flame body) level 51 @leftovers (from relic castle)

Starmie level 51 (natural cure) @???
Ice beam, psychic, surf, power gem
Luxray male level 55 (intimidate) @never melt ice
Ice fang, thunderbolt/fang, crunch, play rough
Yes, theres 2 bug types, i dont mind
This is literally a champion team
I like the theme of light and that is an amazing G-MAX septile it looks so real. Truegreen is a real artist
I'm never so fast but i click and if i was a gym leader I'm going to be a water type gym cause i love all water pokemon they are my favorite
Same and same
But the fire type is... fire
@@teriyakive25 and the Poison type is trash and that's why I like it because for some reason I always love underpowered things.
I love flying types because...
I like birds
@@3.2187_Kilometres i like poison too but my favorite is fire
Ron is the only youtuber (and I watch a lot: sidemen, donut, TRC, F.I., etc.) that holds my attention from start to finish. Cheers mate!! Good job as always
I have to say your idea of making a gym a theme-gym, rather than a type-gym, is pretty awesome. I hope the gyms in the future games are like that since it will make the games more fun, unexpected and versatile.
The funny part about this is that the entire thing sounds like a fanfiction
I would be a water type gym leader with my team being:
Mega-Swampert: my favourite Pokemon being my first ever Pokemon being Mudkip.
Kingdra: My star pokemon in heart gold
Gyarados: why not
Wailord: it is T H I C C
Milotic: it is E P I C
And finally the last pokemon is gmax Drednaw: Drednaw is lit.
The challenge would be to swim through a water maze and you would be challenging 3 trainers
That sorta sounds like Misty's gym..
I'd probably have a similar idea to Ron's but with the performing arts instead. Though otherwise it would probably be a fire gym and my ace is either Houndoom or Delphox since dark and psychic are my 2nd and 3rd favorite types after fire.
The mixed team would probably be:
Gigantamax Toxtricity (not much of a punk person though much of the music I like does have it's origins from hardcore/crust punk specifically like thrash metal and metalcore)
Obstagoon (Because well I'm a metalhead)
Primarina (My favorite starter)
Mr. Rime (I'd rather it Mr. Mime but I might as well be consistent and put the Gen 8 version here)
Incineroar (not too big on wrestling though since he's a heel show wrestler, I think he fits)
Chatot (Wigglytuff could've worked too, but I wanted something with a different type)
I'd probably either do a quiz show of song trivia since music is really important to me (Like for example that one Earthbound joke regarding Yesterday by The Beatles), or make it similar to those contests like the ones from Hoenn and Sinnoh.
3:43 HOW DID HE KNOW MY NAME
Genuinely, I think this might be my favorite "If I were a Gym Leader" video I've seen, yet.
Good going, Ron!
Possibly the most detailed and most thought out "If i was a Pokemon Gym Leader" video ive possibly ever watched, ive always known you made great content but this really blew me out of the park, ya shoulda gone past 1 million already but yet you're here, i hope you reach the milestone soon and thanks for an amazing video :D
If i was a gym leader my gym theme would be "Good pokemon" and all pokemon would be gen 6 or older.
If I were a galarian gym leader, I'd use bug types because its tied with psychic for my favorite type and there's no gym leader that uses it yet (Avery actually is a gym leader, he's in the minor league)
The gym would be located in ballonlea, because the original gym there had a butterfly on the front, so it fits. Also it's a theatre and I love acting sooo
The gym challenge would be like undertale, where you have the pacifist and genocide. At the start a league staff member asks you if you want to battle trainers or solve puzzles. Battling the trainers is the genocide run, and the puzzles is pacifist.
Might as well explain the puzzles.
There's four puzzles, each of which are inspired by a different area from undertale.
The first one will have something to do with switches hidden behind pillars (ruins), the second has a bunch of x-es on the floor, and you have to turn each one into an o to progress, but if you step on an o it will become a triangle (snowdin), the third has you on a raft that floats to four different glyphs that rotate between 20 trivia questions and if you get one wrong the questions reset and you go back to the beginning (waterfall), and the fourth has you do mettaton's tile puzzle, where:
- Green tiles make a noise and then you have to fight a monster (in pokemon it can make a cry and then you encounter a pokémon)
- Orange tiles make you orange- scented
- Blue tiles are water tiles that you can swim through unless you're orange scented, then the piranhas will bite you
- Purple tiles slide you over to the next tile, but the slippery gel smells like lemons, which piranhas don't like
- Yellow tiles are electric and zap you if you step on them, sending you back to the previous one (if it's next to a blue tile, the water will zap you too)
- Red tiles are impassable
- Pink tiles don't do anything
On the pacifist run, my team consists of:
- Vikavolt
- Golisopod
- Vespiqueen
- Crustle
- Gmax Orbeetle
And on the genocide run its:
- Shedinja (I'd explain why but this comment is already as long as an essay so sorry)
- Gmax Orbeetle
If you think this is too complicated or unfair, that's the point.
If you think its dumb that it's inspired by undertale, I know. It is.
If you think this comment is way too long, you are correct.
Edit: I added the shedinja to represent sans, but I didn't know about wonder guard... I'll still keep it tho
this is epic
This is very cool, but just came to say that there actually is a bug type gym leader. Bugsy, from GSC and HGSS.
The moment you said there wasn't a bug type gym leader I was very confused because I remember Bugsy so well (he gave me a lot of trouble 'cause I chose Chikorita and didn't catch any pokemon, so my only other pokemon was a rather disobedient tangela my sibling gave me)
@@archerestarcher I meant in galar, I had trouble with Bugsy too.
@@platinumnova6485 Ah fair. The way you worded it didn't make it clear you meant in galar.
Fun Fact that I just remembered, there's no dark type gym leader yet (unless there's a galarian one I.. Don't actually know the types of all the galar gyms so they might've had the first dark type gym leader.)
I love how he had to look deep into himself to find what type of gym leader he is. Every bit of the gym’s challenge I would love if I could play a game with it in. He spends hours to make these videos and I appreciate that, thanks dude, we love ya. ❤️
same
"So in order to know what my gym us going to be, I need to know who I am as a person."
That escalated quickly.
Heres mine :)
Type: Steel
1. Lucario
2. Bisharp
3. Magnezone
4. Forretrest
5. Aegeslash (sry for bad spelling)
6. Mega Scizor
Im a gen 6 gym leader in the town of snowpoint
I go to the pokemon village to train my beloved steel type pokemon.
My pokemon fight the frosty pokemon around the town to train.
Gym puzzle: technically the same as the normal snowpoint gym puzzle but with big gears.
You earn the hardened badge.
"I wish you good luck at the pokemon league.
This sounds interesting
You’d end up as the gym everyone hates. A timed maze, entry hazards, and something that forces recoil will be very rage inducing. Also Pin flurry sounds like a multi hit move. RIP gym challengers.
I can never decide which type I would specialize in if I was a leader. It would either be Dark or Ghost because I love both of those types
Same here! But my gym theme would be based on the haunted Mansion ride at Disney.
You're voice is so wholesome and comforting. I enjoy your videos, I always feel like I'm hanging out with a good friend :) keep up the great content.
That... Was... AWESOME! I love the concept you came up with and As a guy who enjoys taking pictures of the sky at different times of day I really like this gym idea, Awesome Job!
I honestly think that your gym/ meeting with the trainer just seems more thought out and personal then any that I’ve seen in the game personally. Just has more personality, and less forced then some (like Whitney in heart gold for example). I would love to see a fan game made with this concept added in, whether you were the leader or not
I really hope GameFreak takes notes from you! Having teams with themes instead of always the monotype would be so interesting and make having diverse teams of your own so much more important and fun!
quick you're early, come up with a relevant and funny joke
Uh oh, *funi.*
Relatable
Um me?
Ron is a person lol #personlol #pokemon #funny #lololol #steamedhamsisstillrelevantdon'tletanyonetellyououtherwise
Bruh
The Sceptile gmax art is amazing. And the name G-Max Pin Flurry that causes recoil every time the opponent hits Sceptile with a physical move is a cool name and has a cool effect. Keep it up with your amazing videos.
Honestly Ron, this is my favorite video of yours, great job on everything!
I would have something similar, my last pokemon would be serperior, since snivy was my first starter and is my favourite pokemon. It's just sad that the snivy line was cut :(
You know you're early when all the comments say "FIRST"
FIRST
I know I'm not funny
I am from Bangladesh yup
Tackle and Quick Attack in a nutshell
In the video games: weak
In the manga: nothing special
In the anime: best attack in the world
same could be said about Shell Smash, especially with that Torkoal that Flanery had
Agility used for dodging in johto journeys noice
@@GraveDigger35 Shell smash is one of the best boosting moves in Pokémon history in the games. What do you mean it's weak.
@@3.2187_Kilometres i didn't mean that, I meant that in the Anime when Torkoal used it, it acted like Protect but 10 times better
See those islands on the galar map? that’s where my gym is. it’s based on eeveelutions.
i have a:
Jolteon (best pokemon)
Flareon (second best)
Glaceon (third best)
Vaporeon
Umbreon
G-Max Eevee
Gym mission:
there’s a type that is shown on a screen or something.
there’s 3-6 type options down below. you gotta choose one that’s super effective.
Wrong is a trainer battle.
also i didn’t think about this then but the types shown are all eeveelution types
Gotta say I love the refreshing “theme” instead of “type” gym leader. It makes it feel better and more of a true team that balances each other
Theme: forest
Region: galar
Pokémon: 1.Gliscor 2. Gigalith 3. Beartic 4. Torrtera 5.luxray 6. Blastoise
Ace: I wink at blastoise, and he winks at me and then I say, well, you beat my first 5 Pokémon, but you won’t beat my partner! My partner, my best friend, blastoise, GIGANTAMAX!!!
Location: on the mountains to the right of the map.
Types: water, grass, rock, ground flying and electric
Arena name: forest stadium
Badge name: mountain badge ( named after the veiw of the galar region’s nature and mountains in the seating area )
Gym challenge: a very high up parkour “game” which you press separate buttons to flip, jump, vault, and climb. It’s high up so be careful!!
Gym number: 11
I think game freak should make some gym leaders like this
A great idea would be a Dog like Pokémon gym leader who uses all dog/wolf like pokemon
Everyone! Don't skip the ads, if you do then Ron won't get money, and he clearly deserves it for all of his hard work!!!
OH MY GOD! WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!
@@noeludeh9056 😒
Hands down the best gym leader video ive seen this was so well thought out!
Ah, you are only using Pokémon that need light to live. That clears it up a lot.
My Type If I was a Gym Leader: Fighting
Breloom: Grass/Fighting.
Poliwrath: Water/Fighting.
Hawlucha(sp): Flying/Fighting.
Hariyama(sp): Fighting.
Pangoro.
Heracross.
We can start a place for everyones opinion for a pokemon team
If I was a gym leader I would pick: Dragon
First:Haxorus
Kingdra
Gabite
Hydreigon
Dragonair
Finally:Salamence
It's one of the most unique pokevid ever seen by him. Very eager to have a fight with you in a virtual world (where gym leaders would be able to fight in gen 9 or so) You be a bug type and I will be a ice type gym leader my name would be silverlight and my lvl 50 team would be
1.Frosmoth
2.Mamoswine
3.Froslass
4.Walrein
5.My mega abomasnow
6.And my gigantamax Avalugg
Hope to meet you soon virtually!
And my theme would be a glass maze (glass made of ice) There would be a lot of ice trainers who would wait for the player to arrive after solving each ice puzzle
And lastly my gym batch would be a light batch 💡. Every time you touch it.it would give you a pinch of coldness which would remind you of all the hardwork you took to reach at the great level you are.
Has anyone notice Nessa and Misty have the same characteristics
Beauty,Mono-water, and is a 2nd gym leader
Also there second/main Pokémon both have a second typing. Star it is psychic and dreadnaw is rock
They both use goldeen
One is 6'3
@Yowatsapp 05 So?
Dude, this was so well thought out! I also liked that you provided alternate versions of the gym at the end.
The light based gym is so awesome! And the scripting you did was fantastic. I can see the effort that you put into this and it is appreciated! 👍🏻
I have waited so long for this, I’m not even using the same account...
My gym ideas
Gym types: rock type and fighting type
My Pokemon: geodude, onix, golem, and gegamaxs machamp
Badge: the rock punching badge
Number of trainers: 2
Gym mission: rock climbing. and at the halfway mark there will be a double battle. and when you win the other part of the gym mission will appear so you can reach me
I'd be a Dark type gym leader. This would be my team:
1: Drapion
2: Bisharp
3: Hydreigon
4: Gigantamax Grimmsnarl
My rematch team would include a Mega Absol
No tyranitar?
No scrafty ? 😢
i love the art of you as gym leader you look so chill you look like someone that people would hang out with and take a relaxing walk idk maybe not you just seem like a chill dude
That bunkbed setup is god tier
Dude you should play Undertale it would be a great experience
Am cant you see this is a pokemon themed channel
@@togedemarulover3970 He can still play it
Me: probably a multi-type gym
My team: Reuniclus, Weavile, Slowking, Dragapult, Gengar and G-max Charizard
Your character design looks like a younger 😂 chairman rose
I like Ron because hes got a real good grasp of WHAT pokémon is all about. He has a clear idea on what makes them unique, gives solid criticism when needed, and doesnt stick to the safer design choices found with most fakemon.
I think this is the most believable fake gym leader i've ever seen. Nice job Ron
That was a very creative, well thought out gym challenge, and team. Very cool.
*G-MAX PIN FLURRY!*
I must say, I really like the name and side-effects of that move, really does make a lot more sense than some of the other G-Max moves..
Well done, really enjoyed the video! Liked as always! ;D
Epic video my dude. I have to say it’s very thought out and planned nicely. My only nit pick is a gym leader should never be distracted from a battle. You might be creating a beautiful stage for the battle but gym leaders are disciplined despite their demeanor and should be focused solely on the match. Even childish leaders like Whitney don’t look away. Of course I’m interpreting this as if it’s the anime. Either way it was a great watch!
I love how well thought-out he made this video. Like seriously that would be a gym challenge that I would expect from a main series Pokemon game. Very well done.
I've always loved the idea of having "Evil Team" Admins as Gym Leaders.
I know I’m way late on this video but I really like your thought process on this. Definitely a very different way to look at it but that brings a unique twist that other people that have made similar types of videos haven’t come close to. Very well done!
