@@josueravena3464 the video is called "my perfect elite four", not my perfect region or anything like that. An elite four in pokemon is a group famous for how difficult they should be and when someone builds an elite four group made with pre-existing trainers, you would in all rights expect a collection of the absolute strongest trainers, an elite four member is already estabilshed to be all for battle and therefor when someone talks about them without adding any further, like in the case of a short youtube title, you think of what the elite four is
Agatha’s shockingly poison team is a part of a long running theory of mine that she actually used to run the Fuschia city gym. It seems weird to me that they would have a badge called the Soul Badge when they’re a poison gym focused on Pokémon like Muk and Weezing. But if the ace of the gym was Gengar? Then yeah it would make more sense.
Wasn't this caused because they accidentally mixed up Sabrina's gym badge for Koga's gym badge, soul badge sounds fitting for a psychic type gym whilst marsh badge is more fitting for a poison type gym
This goes to show just how creative Mikey is. He could've just summed up the 4 strongest elite 4 members and called it a day, but instead he created a whole new imaginary region and took into account the elite 4 members' personal preferences and potential contributions to the region. This was very fun to watch! Get this man to 2 million subs!!!
Fr it’s crazy how professional this is. One thing I like about Paldea is how fleshed out the gym leaders and elite four are because they’re real people with jobs and don’t automatically like their champion. This video really shows the personal and professional aspect of these trainers
I'll agree that his idea was creative for sure, though he did utilize pre-existing teams when making his choices which is a vague surprise considering he could have been more creative on that note and came up with new teams rather than utilizing the most recent preexisting teams.
On another note regarding Larry, he only uses flying types because Geeta kinda forced him to. He recognizes after you battle him in the elite 4 that there may be some merit in using a type other than the normal type he prefers. Take him away from Geeta, and he's fairly likely to default back to using normal types unless pressured to do otherwise.
Staraptor, Snorlax, U-Braviary, Farigiraf (to honor Paldea and counter fighting types even further), and a Normal type specific to the new region or his Dudunsparce and boom we have a E4-worthy Normal team if he gets the right move sets and EV spreads. Especially if his Staraptor runs like Intimidate with U-Turn.
Important to remember: He mentions that his Boss, aka Geeta, _has told him to cut back on Overtime hours._ Geeta is not overworking Larry. _LARRY_ is overworking Larry. He does it to himself.
An Elite Four of weather specialists would be kinda cool. I guess snow only really helps ice types, but Sun, Rain and Sand have some versatility to them in terms of type variation and stragegies.
You know, a Pokemon management sim where you play the role of the league president and have to build the region from the ground up would be an interesting spin off
My 6 year old daughter, who has recently fell in love with Pokémon absolutely loves you (as well as Grunty Boy) and your channel. You do such a great job!
So Mikey's Elite Four consists of: - Someone who can make the country more attractive to tourists - Someone who will bring in tourists - Someone who will bring in tourists - Love interest
I agree with your picks. Steel, electric, water is a great trio that creates a ton of difficult team building decisions because water ruins 2/3 steel weaknesses, and electrics only weakness. So you need to be careful with those team choices to be able to deal with those diverse type charts.
I really like this Elite Four in the sense that it sounds like you would naturally encounter them throughout the region while going around. Randomly finding Molayne working on tech stuff. Iono livestreaming and Raihan taking pictures for their subscribers while traveling around the region. And Karen popping around the place kinda like Rika did in SV
I concur, but all the same I did notice him utilizing preexisting teams when making his choices. That's where there could have been an extra bit of creativity.
I would love if you just kept building your region. You could make a whole series about it. Gym leaders could be next. You could talk about the Professor and starter Pokémon of the region, the evil team, the new gimmick, discuss the geography and theme. I’d definitely watch all of it. Can we bump this please? Who’s with me?!
Here here, plus who knows. Maybe it will become a thing down the road in his channel after season 2 of the cup. People like me would be biting at the bits to work with him on thisz
I feel like Volkner should at least be a candidate for this, he is very open about not finding trainers that challenge him, so moving to a new region and stepping up from being a gym leader to an elite four member would defiantly be something he would be interested in. I also believe he designed the sunny shore tower and had solar panels installed all over the city, somebody like that would defiantly be a big asset to a new growing region
that's so true but in the games he says that you the trainer must challenge him if you can't beat him he also said that he will challenge the league so if he would become a gym leader in a new region i think the same would happen again but this time as a elite four member and i agree with you that it would be awesome but i think i wouldn't hire him is a great idea if he is already depressed if no one can beat him as a gym leader
My elite four would be: 1. Kahili - she can have a very versatile team and I can probably negotiate with the golf thing 2. Volkner - He's bored because no one is strong enough to challenge him. Why not I make him an Elite four then? 3. Lucian - No flaws 4. Siebold - Dragon Dancing Gyarados? Sign me up. Just give him Mega Blastoise and he's good.
Mikey hit the nail on the head with the choices to hire. Best people to hire would be those that could help out the region by bringing people in. Streamers and influencers have a ton of power and could be able to do that.
Imagine how wholesome a friendship Iono and Molayne could develop. Her, with her slang and speaking habits, him not understanding a word she’s saying, but being happy to talk to her regardless. Especially because he’d be able to help with tech and she’d be able to help with presenting himself.
I like how you approached this from not only a "teak comp" perspective, but also social and economic perspective in terms of what each elite four candidate would bring to the island (acknowledging how such positions probably carry a good amount of social influence - which probably also plays a factor into these types of negotiations).
it also adds to the world building since if this was a game, then these characters could easily appear as recurring npcs who either push you forward or teach you in subtle ways, or even have there own character arcs withing the region.
Your videos keep appearing to me randomly every now and then, even after I watched them when you uploaded them. Back then I didn't have an Elite Four in mind, but todayI got around thinking about it. After a while, I decided for hiring 4 Gym Leaders, two of them are the same you hired: Iono and Raihan, giving them the 2nd and 3rd spots. Tweaking the team of the first one, I'd pick (and not meaning to give a jab at you)... Whitney. A Normal-type specialist properly equipped could be a blast, and her being young and, at the time of hiring her, more mature than before (in other words, not a sore loser anymore), I think she could be a great asset to my E4 team. Norman I doubt would want to be away from his family, and Larry... as much as I want to hire him just to free him from work excess, I want Whitney to grow her potential, and I respect her for the hard times she gaves us back in the day. With a Normal-type specialist in the E4, you'd need to have a Fighting-type specialist, so I wanted to counter that with a Psychic-type specialist. And just for the reasons I picked Whitney (respect), I'd choose Sabrina as my last E4 member. Rather than picking current E4 members, I want to promote cool and strong Gym leaders, and Sabrina was just massive. Iono and Raihan not only I'd pick them for being cool and famous, but in my E4 EVERY member would be allowed to use a gimmick. Iono would be able to Terastalize, so I want her to pick a good Levitate Pokémon as her Ace. Raihan would be able to Dinamax, and with the new Duradalon evo, he would be no joke (also, I want him as a Sandstorm specialist). I was imagining Whitney with no gimmicks since she is Normal-type, but I see no problems giving her Z-Move for her Ace as she would just... dance. And of course... Mega Alakazam.
@@timscarrott8919 Well except Galar. They have all 18 types, there are 8 major league gyms and 10 minor. The gym leaders have competition among themselves to see who gets to be in the major league I love that. Galar did so good with the gyms
I am shocked Jasmine was not even mentioned. If she is allowed to use her b2w2 post game team, rematch teams in hgss or a combination of them then she is very diverse (ferrothorn, empoleon, lucario, magnezone, metagross, skarmory, steelix, etc). She has even proven she is willing to travel to other regions to help.
@@connaeris8230 I'm not absolutely flabbergasted by it I'm just saying she has a better roster than the other steel specialists he mentioned and is confirmed willing to travel.
Good call on Iono. She may be a middle-level gym leader, but her team is already infamous as a nuzlocke-killer, considering she's Electric but half her team is immune to Ground (and one having no weaknesses at all).
Maybe Terastalization is only available in Paldea? Or she could bring a Eelektross instead of the Mismagius. I'd love that Mikey had said some strategies and team combos that they could use using their current Pokémon+other ones.
@@AlldaylongRock I mean…There’s no good reason it should be exclusive. It’s not really like Dynamax where it’s only certain spots and we see in the anime that Z-moves work fine, so I’d imagine terrastilisatiom should be fine as well.
@@nicolewalsh9457 If trainer-controlled Terastalization is connected to the Tera Orbs exclusively, sure. Just like Megas or Z-Moves. Dynamax is due to Eternatus, but even so, Power Spots could exist in other regions.
My Elite Four Team hirings (in unova order, meaning how you compete against them is your choice): - Drake (Hoenn, Dragon) - Lucian (Sinnoh, Psychic) - Shantel (Unova, Ghost) - Koga (Kanto/Johto, Poison) Hirings for non Elite Four positions: - Glaicia (obvious Marketing reasons) - Siebold (Hospitality/Restaurant operations) - Clay (Operations Manager) - Karen (Advertising, Fashion???) - Bruno (Security 1) - Marshall (Security 2) - Aaron (Outdoor Landscaping)
id have volkner in mine. 1. he invented sunnyshores walking solar panels and manages the powegrid and is a smart inventor 2. he actively is an avid battler and he got depressed and bored for things being too easy (plus with an influx of atrong trainers he wont cause blackouts) 3. he mentions of openly challenging the sinnoh league cementing his strength 4. electric has only 1 weakness. the others are cheren, drayden and siebold.
I think that it's really fun that Mikey doesn't just consider the trainers and their Pokemon , but also what they bring to the table outside of battle. It's a fun thing to think about.
That being said, I think Malva should be considered for an E4 position. She was never around Lysander when he did his dirt. I mean, I'd be annoyed too if someone shut down my side hustle (I think she's the reporter woman, but I'm not sure).
Putting aside the rules for bringing awareness to the region (mostly), here's my E4. Aaron from DP. As some who has used a Beautifly and Vivilion for the whole game (all the way to becoming Champion), I can respect him for using a Beautifly and Dustox (Don't sleep on parattraction, my name for my favorite status combo. Paralysis and attraction). Next would be Avery from Shield (yes, I know Mikey said he wouldn't consider rivals, but I'm considering them!). Not only is he a good psychic specialist, but I'm sure he would jump at the chance to prove himself to his family. Next would be Colress from B2W2. While not a E4 or Gym Leader, he is a powerful trainer that specializes in steel types. Strong enough to be able to access the Alola Battle Tree. And while he was a part of Team Plasma, he didn't necessarily agree with their ambitions. His main goal is researching how to bring out a pokemon's true potential. And by battling many trainers, he may get closer to his goal. And finally, Shauntal from BW. He ghost team is pretty brutal if you're not prepared. Plus, I bet she could get more inspiration for her books in a new region.
@@Amelia4111 Ah, sorry for my spelling mistake. I can never remember how to spell it. Also, I didn't mean to suggest that Aaron used one. I simply meant that as someone who used these early game bugs and kept them through the whole game, I can respect him for also using early game bugs like Dustox.
Just want to say I love the immersion of this one. Not just "cherry pick elite four members make strong team for fight" this was very in depth it was like watching a chess GM
Did you know that if the 18 Pokémon types, only FOUR of them have never been represented in an Elite Four? Those types are Grass, Electric, Normal, and Fairy. Maybe a cool idea to try (before gen 10 is upon us) is to try and make an elite four with those four types?
@@MorrisPXGwell, yes and no? The BB League is a very different thing compared to other Elite Fours (namely the fact they use full teams of 6 and do primarily double battles) but if you do count it then… I guess that’s fairy ticked off?
Electric in particular stands out a lot from this group, because the main reason it hasn't been an Elite Four type is that _they keep making it a Gym type almost every generation_ (the only exceptions have been Johto and Galar). idk what the devs' obsession with electric gyms is, tbh. Grass also bothers me somewhat, because in addition to never being Elite Four, the latest it has been as a Gym is fourth-- there has never been a late game Grass-type leader either, despite the other starter types having already been there. The closest we've had to a late game Grass-type specialist is Carnation from the Battle Resort (I sort of count this because the shtick of the trainers there is to be a cut above regular trainers and specialize in the types the Gyms and the Elite Four don't). I guess it's technically better since it's postgame, but still unsatisfying.
If I were to make my own Elite 4 I think I’d hire: Nessa- You yourself said the Water Type is very diverse and Nessa is my favourite Water Type specialist Drasna- If you fill out her team she can be a threat. And also while I don’t know if this counts as Evidence but she’s my current best Sync Pair in Masters is her with Dragalge Winona- She’s a pretty strong specialist and like Nessa her type is very diverse so her team would need some planning to take down Valerie- Fairy Type is really good and also that hypothetical team you have her as the last Gym Leader I want her to have so she can be a real threat
I would easily pick Clay as one. Over the Unova gen games he helped transform Driftveil City into a thriving battling hub, and obviously cares about the wellbeing of the people who work for him, though his rough exterior may offput a few people. He might be interested in expanding his line of buisness elsewhere after the huge success in Unova as well. His PWT line up isn’t awful either, and if he can get a Hippowdon or Sandaconda in that lineup of his, that Excadrill would be a supreme threat to challengers.
@@cottonbuddy yeah i did also adding him but after replaying white and black 2 i think its best clay stays in unova since his community needs his help same with the kahunas in alola
karen using tyranitar seems unlikely since her whole thing is "battling with the pokemon you love" between her original and rematch teams, she had every opportunity to have tyranitar and she still didn't
@@nategwrightprobably because Sand Stream would just weaken the rest of her team overall. You kind of have to build a team around Sandstorm for it to not be a detriment.
@@internetguyperson Sand Stream didn't exist in Gen II, so that wouldn't have played a part in her team comp or the devs' choice to just never give the final elite four that gen's pseudo for whatever reason. Plus, Tyranitar would be her ace, meaning it's sent out last, and doesn't affect her team with the chip damage.
7:41 including her ability to control her dangerous psychic powers. Her lack of mastery of them was *why* she’s spoiled: she needed to be taken care of.
Gladion from gen 7 would definitely be my pick. If he switches up his team a bit, his Silvally and Porygon Z could make him an excellent normal type specialist.
I'd also think about Nemona. She's not a main champion, because "Champ" is more of a title in Paldea and she seems like she would be perfect. She clearly wants to continue battling as a profession, she's young and adventurous, so she might be excited to get the opportunity to go to a new region. I think she is the perfect candidate for a new pokemon league, after she graduates of course.
True, although she'll probably be unable to contain herself and would try to overthrow you. Not malignantly, of course, just she would continuously challenge the Champion to a battle, and by the rules of the League, an Elite Four could challenge the Champion to become the new one.
My elite four team: First up will be Clermont. He is a scientist (despite a few experiments failing in the anime) I think he will be very helpful and make our land thrive (can't think up of a good thing other than a scientist so I just filled in. Lol) however, I would of have to allow his baby sister to come along but I would see that as a plus. She'll help us by sending out flyers or cards or whatever. Next will be rahian: (I want iono but can't have 2 electric elite four) rahian will use his power of influence to bring tourist to the land by talking about the rich culture and cuisine. Plus, I convince him to go away from. Dragons and have a weather based team Speaking of cuisine, my 3rd elite four member is cilian: he is an culinary artist when it comes to food. (Yes, I know there is cress and the fire brother but I like cilian better) And my 4th elite four member will be: Larry. No other reasons. Just Larry. Lol
I am a little upset that Clair didn't make the consideration, yet another powerful dragon trainer, I think she could do well in a region where she isn't thought of as a second rate Lance.
I'm pretty sure her not accepting you beat her puts off most people who only know her from the games, makes her come across as quite the sore loser, especially in a game where there has already been one sore loser gym leader to be the second one that makes you then go on a fetch quest for does not sound like good leadership material.
I actually looked more at trainers who scale well to their region’s champion, so for me it would be Juan as he trained Wallace, Draden since he trained Iris and is an educator, Volkner since he scales to Flint and is possibly stronger given that no one could challenge him, also because he can help with construction/electrical systems like he did with sunnyshore, and Marnie since she scales to Raihan’s gym team, and Hop before he got the legendary, plus team yell would likely follow her, giving me a good work force right off the bat
Let's assume any new member would get a team update if for no other reason that many species werent around when they fist appeared, and are also given natures, items and abilities suitable for the Elite Four. 1. Janine- She has proven herself capable as a gym leader and would bring prestige that comes with her family while giving her a chance to step out of Koga's shadow and build her own legacy. Nidoqueen, Toxtricity, (new regional Pokemon), G.Weezing, Venomoth, Crobat. 2. Skyla- Already known to fly to other regions and wants to go places. Would be a huge asset flying people and cargo to and from the region as a day job. A few years of maturing along with the responsibility of being one of the Four would make her formidable. Pidgeot, Togekiss, Corviknight, (new regional pokemon, especially if psychic) Swanna, M Aerodactyl. 3. Blain- Brings a great deal of experience to the league and region as a whole. With his gym gone and having never been rebuilt a new chance may tempt him. Also as a former researcher any new and interesting fire types would help to lure him away. Rapidash, Chandelure, Camerupt, (new regional pokemon, possibly part electric or fairy), Armarouge, Magmortar. 4. Karen- Brings more experience and legitimacy while providing a very strong backstop. Weavie, Honchkrow, Umbreon, Kingambit, Tyranitar, M. Houndoom
I would have to go with Acerola (alola), Winona (hoenn), Volkner (Sinnoh), and Drayden (unova). These are some that have always left a lasting impression on me in general over the years
Definitely agree with Iono. I was pleasantly surprised with how strong her rematch team was and definitely agree she has the makings of a great elite 4 member
What a blessing it is to have your videos available for free. Your wonderful personality, your thoughtfulness, your creativity, your playfulness, everything you share brings light into the world, and I so appreciate you.
I love that you considered the plot/character relevant stuff in your decisions!! That made this idea and video way more fun! I kinda wanna go back to your video ‘If every gym leader was the 8th one’ and try to pick E4 members from those teams, because it makes all of them viable possibilities, and I always LOVE when trainers move up the league ladder like that.
There's a lot of good choices in the Galar region. Gordie is considered among experts in the field to be a potential future Galar champion, has a lot of style and a huge fanbase. Bea (as shown in twilight wings) is a strong trainer that likes to go to train to different places in order to become stronger and takes her role very seriously. Nessa is a very famous model that would probably be okay with traveling to other parts of the world. Klara is strong, wants to improve her career as an idol, is part of the Galarian star tournament, was training under a former champion, was already aiming to be a gym leader so it would be easy to convince her to take an elite four role. Avery comes from a well known family of psychics, also trained under a former champion, is also part of the Galarian star tournament and would have no problem deciding if he wants to take an elite four role.
8:24 Watching Wikstrom kick Malva in the face nearly killed me.😂 Also if we aren't limiting the selection pool to only include Elite Four members (current and/or former) and Gym Leaders then I would go with Sabrina, Clemont (with the stipulation he add pokemon to his team), Cissy (from the Orange Island arc in the anime), and Riley.
My elite 5: Tate & Liza: they showed a lot of synergy in their emerald team and it would be fun to have them representing a strong type in the first double battle elite 4 and see how their designs look grown up. Raihan - he makes use of double battle and weather strats already and now that his ace has an evolution that can take advantage of the terrain being changed by giving it electro shot for rain and solar beam for sunny day. Sophocles: his trial with Togedemaru and Skarmory is arguably the hardest trial and him setting that up demonstrates his capability to become the first electric type elite 4 in a double battle (+) league. Opal: she would be a great candidate for the first Fairy type elite 4. This elite 5 is kinda young and quirky and she'd be in her 90s and provide a grounding presence and a lot of life wisdom. She could play her question game but getting it right earns you no boost and getting it wrong boosts her. Trivia will be hard too. Something like 'how many litwicks were hanging out in this town you haven't seen for half the game?' kinda hard. Also maybe this project was the actual reason she needed a replacement gym leader.
Cool picks, find it kind of interesting you picked someone from the four regions that have a special gimmick, Molayne - Z moves Iono - Terastallizing Siebold/ Karen (ORAS) - Mega evolution (I know Siebold doesn't use any Megas but in the anime he has a Mega Blastoise so if he had a full team he could use one) Raihan - Dynamax/ Gigantamax (Yes that's specific to Galar but Molayne could invent a mobile power spot) would love to see a follow up video where you give them fleshed out teams!
Lorelei: pretends to specialize in a bad type but uses Water-types Bruno: no brains, all brawn Lance: too expensive Agatha: retired/dead Sidney: *failed the vibe check*
@@MaxWelton yea onix is bad but steelix should be replacing onix steel type resist fairy and psychics which are counters for fighting types also rock moves beat flying
Honestly, now I want to see your ultimate champion team for this region, I know you made one for Sinnoh but I think it would be really cool to see you make a viable team of Pokémon from any region you want
My picks (before watching the video) Elisa: since this hypothetical region is small, and tourism is a big goal in mind, Elisa is probably the quintessential pick for tourism. Larry: all be honest bro just needs a raise. Also considering how much he seems to hate working with Geeta, he would probably not hesitate to move. Phoebe: Ghost types are cool. I like the Hoenn region. Sabrina: she just feels like an elite four trainer and psychic types are cool I guess
Personally I wold hae picked Watson over Phoebe. When you figt watson he is alot scairier then when you fight phoebe and in later rematches has a much stronger team
Honestly, mostly Game Freak's fault Like bro, you give the 4 strongest trainers in the region besides the CHAMPION, teams of 4 We should get way-buffed battles with them in Paldea DLC
Yeah in Journey’s when it was revealed that the Kalos E4 are so renowned that Drasna was one of the last obstacles to the Master’s 8 and Diantha ranked decently High in the Master’s 8 was WILD.
Absolutely agree, they should have had Megas as their ace, like they did in the anime ( seibold had a mega blastoise, mela had a mega houndoom, wikstrom had a mega scizor and drasna had mega altaria), I’m so glad atleast some of them got the attention they deserve in journeys
@@eletraf Speaking of Mega, they should've been used since the GYM LEADERS already. They introduced a new game changing gimmick and only used it TWICE in the game it debuted!?
Now this is actually a really interesting idea taken to a pretty interesting extent, I really like how it wasn’t just a “Which guys are strongest” and you also had to consider population growth, tourism, and challenger traffic
My personal elite 4. 1st - Molane (Same reasons as Mikey) 2nd - Iono (Very popular and would bring in a lot of tourists. Also, she would want to do it!) 3rd - Raihan (That sandstorm strategy is too good to pass up. And, he could train in my region to beat Leon!) Final - Drake (My favourite option. Very strong, willing to do it because he sails and could use a lot of pseudo legendaries!)
Hot take: a trainer doesn’t need to use an entire team of their type to be considered a type specialist. They just need to have half a team of the type and other Pokémon that support them. Great examples of this are the steel-master Stephen and Dragon-master Raihan.
There is the hack rom "this gym of mine" where you take the role of a gym leader. You can use 2 pokemon not of your selected type BUT they need to be able to use the signature move of your gym that you receive at the start of the game
Ok...still means Flint is NOT a fire expert since his Diamond/Pearl team is 2/5 fire. That is less than half. So still shows how stupid it is why Flint is a FIRE expert when half his team isn't even fire type!
@@vgmaster02 His only excuse is that all of his Pokémon at least know a Fire-Type move. Even though one of them is litteraly a Steelix with Sunny Day. Like what?
First: Iono- Electric Specialist (with ghost hints? Maybe add local ghost ele, or just rotom?) Second: Amarys (You know she’s cold and calculating, if you give her the right incentives she’ll be easy to convince, and steel is a brutal type) Third: Larry (Let the man have his preferred Normal Typage) Fourth: Karren (Prolly evolve her Murkrow to Honchkrow, add tyran; that umbreon wall alone can stop some trainers)
i know this region is just a hypothetical but it'd be really cool to see it fleshed out! especially with the idea of past characters moving there to help build, there's so much potentional! fantastic video as always
Volkner would be a great candidate, since he rivals with Flint (which means he is really close to elite four level) and its constantly bored by the lack of challenge in Sinnoh, so he would love to be part of an Elite 4 group
My elite four: Klara - The poison knuckle sandwich Rika - The worlds professional interviewer Blue (if I persuade him) - Ex champion of the Kanto region Raihan - The weather man and social media man (If I don’t get Blue to be in my elite four) Wikstrom (I don’t know if I spelled his name right.) - I can give him access to more steel types for a more diverse steel type team, ex: Bisharp, Copperajah, and maybe Iron Valiant, if I can ask Geeta for one.
Either that or work with other people to make a full on fakemon region Edit: I know he's already made one when he was youngeer, but if he worked with people like Lockstin to make a full on Mikey region WITH Mytey as a fakemon, i'd be down to see it.
Well if I were to make my dream league (leaders + e4)... Gym 1: Viola (Maybe with some more pokemon though, she could use a revision) Gym 2: Norman (He's a dependable guy, and while he's a father, we could hypothetically pay for his family's flight to the region and provide housing) Gym 3: Iono (She'd definitely appreciate being able to go out in public for more than two seconds) Gym 4: Korrina (Having a fighting type specialist could prove helpful, especially when combined with...) Gym 5: Allister (Since you probably picked up a psychic type to handle Korrina, good luck with Allister) Gym 6: Melony (Another bout of synergy, this time with a returning favorite...) Gym 7: Sabrina (Got fighting types to handle Melony's ice? Time to learn) Gym 8: Lance (Did you expect anything less? He's damn near legendary) Elite 4 Rika (Applaud the clod) Karen (Hope you aren't too confident in those psychic types from earlier staying helpful) Wallace (He may be a former champion, but I feel that in this hypothetical, we can afford to hire a maximum of three) Wikstrom (Aegislash is no joke, buddy) Champion Steven Stone (That metagross can be SCARY) Professor Yeah that'd be me, I don't think I could handle the pressure of champion tbh
Karen, Lucian, Marshal, and Drake. (Shauntal and Molayne were close too.) Each would have their regional theme play upon their respective battle. Additionally, a Challenge mode is optional at the start of the game, this would give major NPCs held items, strategies, and a wide variety of Pokemon to choose from. The player would be allowed to choose a starter from any region. This would also include the options of a Riolu, an Eevee, and a Pikachu.
11:11 - I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't understand how she's in the Elite Four. And the scary thing is this: unless she was given it by somebody, she would have had to have beaten a lot of other people. And have you seen the sorts of teams the youngsters/preschoolers use? Imagine actually being beaten by them.
I love the logic you used for this team. Not only for the strength of the league but for the region building and tourism aspect. I would love to face that elite for. A tough challenge with proper built teams. I love it
Mine would be between - Powered-up: Bea Lorelei Aaron Larry - The Posh: Elesa Will Siebold Kahili - Balanced: Nessa Malva Lucian Molayne - The wanderer: Grimsley Sabrina Siebold Drake Each team comprises a former gym leader and a nerd (except for the wanderer team)
Mentioning the Battle Frontier Brains, I now really want a video of your own region's Battle Frontier (if it were to have one). The battle facilities': design, gimmicks, their Frontier Brain (or Brains), and their teams. The Battle Frontier has been my favorite thing since Emerald and I've been wanting them to bring it back for over a decade. So curious what other people would want their own to be like.
A fun hypothetical Elite Four that could be put together is one based around the 4 types that haven’t been represented by E4 members yet,those being Normal, Grass, Electric, and Fairy. I think my picks for this group would personally be: -Erika, since she’s tied with Ramos for the highest-ranked Grass gym leader, and is much younger than him, so would be more likely to be willing to move. -Elesa, because she’s the 2nd-highest ranked Electric gym leader after Volkner, who’s outright said he wants to stay a gym leader and not become an E4 member. Plus being a famous model would be good for the region and league’s publicity. -Valerie, since the other Fairy-type specialists (Mina, Bede, and Ortega) all seem like they probably wouldn’t want to move from their current regions for story reasons, whereas Valerie doesn’t really have any obligations to stay in Kalos. Plus being a big fashion designer would not only bring the region and league more publicity, but synergize really well with Elesa. -And finally, Larry; while it’d be cool to see Norman or Cheren take on the role of an Elite Four member, Larry seems the most likely to want to move, since being just an E4 member in the type he wants to specialize in is just a better gig than what he has in Paldea. Wouldn’t be the strongest batch of trainers per se, but the novelty alone of representing types no other E4 does would probably still get them a lot of attention.
On the topic of Elite 4's I just learned from the Pokémon wiki that we don't have a Normal, Grass, Electric, and Fairy type Elite 4 members yet. So I thought it would be neat to go through the gym leaders of these types and look who could get a promotion. Normal: Norman, Cheren (aged up) maybe even Lenora. Grass: Brassius Electric: most of them are good picks, Lt. Surge, Volkner, Elesa, Clemont, Iono Fairy: not many options Valerie or Bede
Norman, Brassius, Iono, and Valerie because Bede, while being much stronger based off of what we’ve seen, is a terrible person, and thus wouldn’t be accepted.
I got my own Elite Four: Thordis-She’s an Electric type specialist and is dressed like a Valkyrie and Hawkgirl did a fusion dance. Cerdic-He’s a Fairy specialist and is dressed like Conan the Barbarian. Roslin-She’s a Grass specialist and dresses like a flower girl. She wears pigtails too. Mustafa-He’s a Normal specialist and dresses like a sports announcer. His idea of calm is shouting his mouth off.
@@jeffreygao3956 I like that idea. My PokéProject has an Electric and Grass Elite Four specialist, those being Aleena, a runner who goes on daily-to-weekly jogs, often meeting new faces to become a more social individual while living a healthy life, and Pycantha, an environmentalist who believes that one shouldn’t destroy/harm ecosystems within the region because they are important to sustaining an image of the region (in her case, she also has a small area where plants are grown, but in the right conditions and purposes, and doesn’t plan on dangerously expanding that). The other two are a Poison type specialist named Nixon, a scientist who studies the toxic substances, chemicals, and adaptations of Pokémon, and Kirk, an intelligent Fighting-type user who skillfully plans his road to victory in just about every battle he is in. He also has a nerdy side and doesn’t devote his entire life to physical strength and activity.
I love the world-building! It's very DnD 5e-esque! Would love to hear more stories revolving around this perfectly designed team! I wonder how your experience fighting them would turn out, Mikey...?
i would do this elite four. Bertha - Ground type is an instresting type, and in all seven generations, Bertha stands out as the sole ground-type specialist in the Elite Four. Despite her team’s vulnerability to grass, water, and ice types, she compensates with sturdy Pokémon like Rhyperior and Gliscor. Bertha’s Hippowdon can be particularly annoying with its Yawn move, leading to powerful ground-type Earthquakes Malva - OK, she isn't evil anymore plus, "THE PAST IS IN THE PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTTTTTTTTTTTT!" -Elsa once said. Pheobe - Phoebe’s team includes powerful Pokémon like Dusclops and Banette. Her Sableye can be tricky to handle due to its immunity to Normal and Fighting moves, making her battles quite challenging Marshal - boasts a team with Pokémon like Conkeldurr and Mienshao. His strategy revolves around high-speed, hard-hitting fighters, making him a formidable opponent. That's my elite four.
Yeah because he ain't trynna explain to the secretary of work and pensions why one of his employees is not being paid for being a literal kindergartner, and why one of the people he is paying to work for him is a goddamn war criminal
I nearly died when he rejected malva as she is my favourite of the kalos elite four. also poppy is the strongest of her group so i'm quite sad he rejected her. But still it was soooo funny!!!
In Malva's defense, she wasn't seen with Team Flare when they did their dirt, as far as I know. Please let me know if I'm correct. But yeah, her being an Elite Four member in a new region away from Team Flare could be very beneficial for her. Everyone deserves a fresh start Mikey.
If I were looking to hire only the strongest elite 4 members possible, I guess it would be something like : - Marshal (or maybe Larry ? not too sure with this one) - Molayne - Lucian - either Raihan or another strong dragon specialist like Drake for example.
I really like this idea! I feel like I wouldn’t focus so much on the tourism as much for my team though. I think it’s fine if the elite four is just a strong group as the final test for trainers. My team would be Mina, I feel as though it’s time for a fairy elite 4 member and she is already used to traveling due to moving from kanto to ahlola. Plus she is a strong trainer and is a trial captain. Volkner would be next, in game lore he’s so strong he got depressed by beating every challenger and he was considering joining(or taking on I forget) the elite four. Then I’d go for Juan, he was Wallace’s mentor and his Kingdra alone still gives emerald players nightmares. And finally, I’d also go with Karen. I feel like this is a good group of tough trainers that have good typing strength and have strong or difficult to deal with Pokémon. I’d switch up the teams a bit for all of them to help bring out their full potential. I also feel like the games are going back to a prefixed match up line unlike the open way B/W and X/Y had, so this team has a good mix of age, experience, and personality. I’d prefer trainers get to choose what order they take them on but if I had a prefix order it’d be Mina to start, then Volkner, then Juan, and finish with Karen, she deserves to still be at the top. And just for fun if I wasn’t the champion and had to pick on I’d of course choose Nemona.
I really like how you go in expecting an actual team critisism and then mikey just starts with island management and how good the tourism would be
Mikey is amazing for looking at pokemon as a living world as much as competitive game.
@@Dusxio true
Personally for a developing a region, theirs a sense of building a region from the ground up which I like in some aspects.
@@josueravena3464 the video is called "my perfect elite four", not my perfect region or anything like that. An elite four in pokemon is a group famous for how difficult they should be and when someone builds an elite four group made with pre-existing trainers, you would in all rights expect a collection of the absolute strongest trainers, an elite four member is already estabilshed to be all for battle and therefor when someone talks about them without adding any further, like in the case of a short youtube title, you think of what the elite four is
mine would be Molayne, Siebold, Shauntal & Drake
Agatha’s shockingly poison team is a part of a long running theory of mine that she actually used to run the Fuschia city gym. It seems weird to me that they would have a badge called the Soul Badge when they’re a poison gym focused on Pokémon like Muk and Weezing. But if the ace of the gym was Gengar? Then yeah it would make more sense.
This should have way more likes! That is incredible deduction! I always wondered why would a ninja give the soul badge
Wasn't this caused because they accidentally mixed up Sabrina's gym badge for Koga's gym badge, soul badge sounds fitting for a psychic type gym whilst marsh badge is more fitting for a poison type gym
Great theory
That's the out-or-universe reason, yeah, but in universe this does make sense.
@@michaelkowal3230 so what?
Petition for the “Pokémon Types: Then vs. Now” series to come back
I will happily agree to this
Agreed, but either he stops all gens in gen 8 or he may need to update all of them.
We need the ice type to be the next one.
Seconded
HAIL YEAH
What I've learned from this video
Molayne = Hank Green
Siebold = Gordon Ramsay
This goes to show just how creative Mikey is. He could've just summed up the 4 strongest elite 4 members and called it a day, but instead he created a whole new imaginary region and took into account the elite 4 members' personal preferences and potential contributions to the region. This was very fun to watch!
Get this man to 2 million subs!!!
He’s almost at 2 million!!!
Fr it’s crazy how professional this is. One thing I like about Paldea is how fleshed out the gym leaders and elite four are because they’re real people with jobs and don’t automatically like their champion. This video really shows the personal and professional aspect of these trainers
Yeay
@@domncena77 this is not professional, he just named the people he added to his list to checkout.
You Zoomers have literally no concept of work lmao.
I'll agree that his idea was creative for sure, though he did utilize pre-existing teams when making his choices which is a vague surprise considering he could have been more creative on that note and came up with new teams rather than utilizing the most recent preexisting teams.
I really want Mikey to turn this into a series where he continues to develop this new region
And then someone can make it a gba Pokémon mod
Omg that would be cool (even better if there would be mostly poison pokemon)
Get an artist to maybe make custom artwork, turning the canonical trainers into original ones.
Would it be mashup of other Pokemon games or new Pokemon?
Yess
On another note regarding Larry, he only uses flying types because Geeta kinda forced him to. He recognizes after you battle him in the elite 4 that there may be some merit in using a type other than the normal type he prefers.
Take him away from Geeta, and he's fairly likely to default back to using normal types unless pressured to do otherwise.
Staraptor, Snorlax, U-Braviary, Farigiraf (to honor Paldea and counter fighting types even further), and a Normal type specific to the new region or his Dudunsparce and boom we have a E4-worthy Normal team if he gets the right move sets and EV spreads. Especially if his Staraptor runs like Intimidate with U-Turn.
And we never had a normal e4 member
I ship them
@Embtic I'd go Choice Band Last Resort Komala. Only move. Ghosts are safe but nothing else is.
Important to remember: He mentions that his Boss, aka Geeta, _has told him to cut back on Overtime hours._ Geeta is not overworking Larry. _LARRY_ is overworking Larry. He does it to himself.
An Elite Four of weather specialists would be kinda cool. I guess snow only really helps ice types, but Sun, Rain and Sand have some versatility to them in terms of type variation and stragegies.
At least Snow isn't as Limiting as Hail used to be.
@@jonathanflanagan1504 Yeah, it would be fun with some non-ice type mons with abilities using snow.
Dear god, excadrill would destroy everyone’s team.
You know, a Pokemon management sim where you play the role of the league president and have to build the region from the ground up would be an interesting spin off
Great idea!
I think there's a mod where you're a gym leader! That's probably the closest we'll ever get though.

So Mikey's Elite Four consists of:
- Someone who can make the country more attractive to tourists
- Someone who will bring in tourists
- Someone who will bring in tourists
- Love interest
I just find him simping for Karen hilarious
@@dimitrescu182 we simp for Karen in this channel.
This man trying to build a country instead of the best elite 4 possible lol
Thank you. I don't have to finish the video now lol
True
I agree with your picks. Steel, electric, water is a great trio that creates a ton of difficult team building decisions because water ruins 2/3 steel weaknesses, and electrics only weakness. So you need to be careful with those team choices to be able to deal with those diverse type charts.
I really like this Elite Four in the sense that it sounds like you would naturally encounter them throughout the region while going around. Randomly finding Molayne working on tech stuff. Iono livestreaming and Raihan taking pictures for their subscribers while traveling around the region. And Karen popping around the place kinda like Rika did in SV
Karen definitely seems like the type to encourage kids on their gym journey, maybe at like the most notorious gym or something.
He should
Make a second part where you hire gym leaders
I concur, but all the same I did notice him utilizing preexisting teams when making his choices. That's where there could have been an extra bit of creativity.
Imagine just encountering Raihan and Iono vibing together on stream, seems like something that'd happen
I would love if you just kept building your region. You could make a whole series about it. Gym leaders could be next. You could talk about the Professor and starter Pokémon of the region, the evil team, the new gimmick, discuss the geography and theme. I’d definitely watch all of it.
Can we bump this please? Who’s with me?!
I'd draw custom Pokémon for Mikey. He comes up with fun ideas, and I like drawing fun ideas
@@Darkviney yes!!!

People like me would be biting at the bits to work with him on thisz
i'm with you to help you get your [100% CUSTOMER SATISFACTION GUARANTEED]!
I feel like Volkner should at least be a candidate for this, he is very open about not finding trainers that challenge him, so moving to a new region and stepping up from being a gym leader to an elite four member would defiantly be something he would be interested in. I also believe he designed the sunny shore tower and had solar panels installed all over the city, somebody like that would defiantly be a big asset to a new growing region
that's so true but in the games he says that you the trainer must challenge him if you can't beat him he also said that he will challenge the league so if he would become a gym leader in a new region i think the same would happen again but this time as a elite four member and i agree with you that it would be awesome but i think i wouldn't hire him is a great idea if he is already depressed if no one can beat him as a gym leader
Yeah but instead he put the weabo
@@googoothepro738 the only reason I half don't like the choice
My elite four would be:
1. Kahili - she can have a very versatile team and I can probably negotiate with the golf thing
2. Volkner - He's bored because no one is strong enough to challenge him. Why not I make him an Elite four then?
3. Lucian - No flaws
4. Siebold - Dragon Dancing Gyarados? Sign me up. Just give him Mega Blastoise and he's good.
You can help kahili family on. The resort
I hate kalos games for not giving seibold and other elites mega evolves. Whereas in anime they gave mega evolution to elites
Mikey hit the nail on the head with the choices to hire. Best people to hire would be those that could help out the region by bringing people in. Streamers and influencers have a ton of power and could be able to do that.
Imagine how wholesome a friendship Iono and Molayne could develop. Her, with her slang and speaking habits, him not understanding a word she’s saying, but being happy to talk to her regardless. Especially because he’d be able to help with tech and she’d be able to help with presenting himself.
@Jameśnah, just a good ol simple friendship, but see your points
I think Raihan and Iono would be a vibe together
@@TechnoArpan ooh yeah! They would do colabs and such. :)
You can also get Larry to your region. Offer him the position that Rika has, being the person who interviews you for the league.
I like how in this unknown region Mikey takes into fact how each elite four member would help out in the region
I like how you approached this from not only a "teak comp" perspective, but also social and economic perspective in terms of what each elite four candidate would bring to the island (acknowledging how such positions probably carry a good amount of social influence - which probably also plays a factor into these types of negotiations).
it also adds to the world building since if this was a game, then these characters could easily appear as recurring npcs who either push you forward or teach you in subtle ways, or even have there own character arcs withing the region.
In Glacia's defense, her parents named her Glacia.
At that point, it feels like you have no choice but to specialise in Ice types.
Nah bro I would name my daughter that💀
@@goticorojo your poor daughter
I'm pretty sure that expands to Flint.
And possibly Drake.
@@goldtheanimator4753 He could at least choose the Rock type
Your videos keep appearing to me randomly every now and then, even after I watched them when you uploaded them. Back then I didn't have an Elite Four in mind, but todayI got around thinking about it.
After a while, I decided for hiring 4 Gym Leaders, two of them are the same you hired: Iono and Raihan, giving them the 2nd and 3rd spots.
Tweaking the team of the first one, I'd pick (and not meaning to give a jab at you)... Whitney. A Normal-type specialist properly equipped could be a blast, and her being young and, at the time of hiring her, more mature than before (in other words, not a sore loser anymore), I think she could be a great asset to my E4 team. Norman I doubt would want to be away from his family, and Larry... as much as I want to hire him just to free him from work excess, I want Whitney to grow her potential, and I respect her for the hard times she gaves us back in the day.
With a Normal-type specialist in the E4, you'd need to have a Fighting-type specialist, so I wanted to counter that with a Psychic-type specialist. And just for the reasons I picked Whitney (respect), I'd choose Sabrina as my last E4 member. Rather than picking current E4 members, I want to promote cool and strong Gym leaders, and Sabrina was just massive.
Iono and Raihan not only I'd pick them for being cool and famous, but in my E4 EVERY member would be allowed to use a gimmick. Iono would be able to Terastalize, so I want her to pick a good Levitate Pokémon as her Ace. Raihan would be able to Dinamax, and with the new Duradalon evo, he would be no joke (also, I want him as a Sandstorm specialist).
I was imagining Whitney with no gimmicks since she is Normal-type, but I see no problems giving her Z-Move for her Ace as she would just... dance.
And of course... Mega Alakazam.
Id love a pt 2 to this where you perfect their teams, plan your league and go over the champion (you)’s team!
Yes that's a fantastic idea.
Shoot let’s go all the way and draft an all star Gym Leader lineup.
Also, since each League appears to only have 8 Gyms, I would love to know which types Champion Mikey, and League Admin would pick!
I would love to see this plus a video of a team you'd recommend to challenge your E4 lineup!
@@timscarrott8919 Well except Galar. They have all 18 types, there are 8 major league gyms and 10 minor. The gym leaders have competition among themselves to see who gets to be in the major league
I love that. Galar did so good with the gyms
I am shocked Jasmine was not even mentioned. If she is allowed to use her b2w2 post game team, rematch teams in hgss or a combination of them then she is very diverse (ferrothorn, empoleon, lucario, magnezone, metagross, skarmory, steelix, etc). She has even proven she is willing to travel to other regions to help.
I wouldn't be so shocked, he only took into consideration three gym leaders
@@connaeris8230 I'm not absolutely flabbergasted by it I'm just saying she has a better roster than the other steel specialists he mentioned and is confirmed willing to travel.
@@GiovannisDaedra I'm in shock he doesn't give attention to side characters. In my roster I have Plumeria, and there also Ortega, Giacomo, Tyme...
why is no one talking about Whitney?if she raised her miltank and filled out her them she would be very strong
I’d imagine Jasmine would be a champion level trainer with her BW2 team
Good call on Iono. She may be a middle-level gym leader, but her team is already infamous as a nuzlocke-killer, considering she's Electric but half her team is immune to Ground (and one having no weaknesses at all).
Maybe Terastalization is only available in Paldea? Or she could bring a Eelektross instead of the Mismagius. I'd love that Mikey had said some strategies and team combos that they could use using their current Pokémon+other ones.
Yeah I’m doing a violet nuzlocke rn and I still haven’t faced iono yet out of shear fear
@@AlldaylongRock I mean…There’s no good reason it should be exclusive. It’s not really like Dynamax where it’s only certain spots and we see in the anime that Z-moves work fine, so I’d imagine terrastilisatiom should be fine as well.
@@nicolewalsh9457 If trainer-controlled Terastalization is connected to the Tera Orbs exclusively, sure. Just like Megas or Z-Moves. Dynamax is due to Eternatus, but even so, Power Spots could exist in other regions.

id have volkner in mine.
1. he invented sunnyshores walking solar panels and manages the powegrid and is a smart inventor
2. he actively is an avid battler and he got depressed and bored for things being too easy (plus with an influx of atrong trainers he wont cause blackouts)
3. he mentions of openly challenging the sinnoh league cementing his strength
4. electric has only 1 weakness.
the others are cheren, drayden and siebold.
I think that it's really fun that Mikey doesn't just consider the trainers and their Pokemon , but also what they bring to the table outside of battle. It's a fun thing to think about.
That being said, I think Malva should be considered for an E4 position. She was never around Lysander when he did his dirt. I mean, I'd be annoyed too if someone shut down my side hustle (I think she's the reporter woman, but I'm not sure).
Do Gym Leaders next, I can't wait to see the reaction about whether to hire Giovanni, Whitney and Clair just to savagely reject them.

@@blueeclipse395 Yes, I forgot her name.
Putting aside the rules for bringing awareness to the region (mostly), here's my E4.
Aaron from DP. As some who has used a Beautifly and Vivilion for the whole game (all the way to becoming Champion), I can respect him for using a Beautifly and Dustox (Don't sleep on parattraction, my name for my favorite status combo. Paralysis and attraction).
Next would be Avery from Shield (yes, I know Mikey said he wouldn't consider rivals, but I'm considering them!). Not only is he a good psychic specialist, but I'm sure he would jump at the chance to prove himself to his family.
Next would be Colress from B2W2. While not a E4 or Gym Leader, he is a powerful trainer that specializes in steel types. Strong enough to be able to access the Alola Battle Tree. And while he was a part of Team Plasma, he didn't necessarily agree with their ambitions. His main goal is researching how to bring out a pokemon's true potential. And by battling many trainers, he may get closer to his goal.
And finally, Shauntal from BW. He ghost team is pretty brutal if you're not prepared. Plus, I bet she could get more inspiration for her books in a new region.
Vivillon is spelled with 2 L's, not 3 I's! And FYI, Aaron has never used a Vivillon since its introduction!
@@Amelia4111 Ah, sorry for my spelling mistake. I can never remember how to spell it. Also, I didn't mean to suggest that Aaron used one. I simply meant that as someone who used these early game bugs and kept them through the whole game, I can respect him for also using early game bugs like Dustox.
Just want to say I love the immersion of this one. Not just "cherry pick elite four members make strong team for fight" this was very in depth it was like watching a chess GM
“Send her to the daycare with her giant metal elephant” Mikey’s gone too far with this one

@@jasonvoorhees8930 What does that mean?
Did you know that if the 18 Pokémon types, only FOUR of them have never been represented in an Elite Four? Those types are Grass, Electric, Normal, and Fairy. Maybe a cool idea to try (before gen 10 is upon us) is to try and make an elite four with those four types?
Then my picks under this principle would be Gardenia for Grass, Iono for Electric, Norman for Normal, and Ortega for Fairy.
Indigo Disk DLC:Well Here’s One of the 4
@@MorrisPXGwell, yes and no? The BB League is a very different thing compared to other Elite Fours (namely the fact they use full teams of 6 and do primarily double battles) but if you do count it then… I guess that’s fairy ticked off?
@@angelicwarrior118
Erika for Grass
Norman for Normal
Volkner for Electric
Electric in particular stands out a lot from this group, because the main reason it hasn't been an Elite Four type is that _they keep making it a Gym type almost every generation_ (the only exceptions have been Johto and Galar). idk what the devs' obsession with electric gyms is, tbh.
Grass also bothers me somewhat, because in addition to never being Elite Four, the latest it has been as a Gym is fourth-- there has never been a late game Grass-type leader either, despite the other starter types having already been there.
The closest we've had to a late game Grass-type specialist is Carnation from the Battle Resort (I sort of count this because the shtick of the trainers there is to be a cut above regular trainers and specialize in the types the Gyms and the Elite Four don't). I guess it's technically better since it's postgame, but still unsatisfying.
If I were to make my own Elite 4 I think I’d hire:
Nessa- You yourself said the Water Type is very diverse and Nessa is my favourite Water Type specialist
Drasna- If you fill out her team she can be a threat. And also while I don’t know if this counts as Evidence but she’s my current best Sync Pair in Masters is her with Dragalge
Winona- She’s a pretty strong specialist and like Nessa her type is very diverse so her team would need some planning to take down
Valerie- Fairy Type is really good and also that hypothetical team you have her as the last Gym Leader I want her to have so she can be a real threat
I would easily pick Clay as one. Over the Unova gen games he helped transform Driftveil City into a thriving battling hub, and obviously cares about the wellbeing of the people who work for him, though his rough exterior may offput a few people. He might be interested in expanding his line of buisness elsewhere after the huge success in Unova as well. His PWT line up isn’t awful either, and if he can get a Hippowdon or Sandaconda in that lineup of his, that Excadrill would be a supreme threat to challengers.
Isn't he the town sheriff or mayor? I doubt he wants to leave his City since He seems to really care about it.
@@cottonbuddy yeah i did also adding him but after replaying white and black 2 i think its best clay stays in unova since his community needs his help same with the kahunas in alola
@@cottonbuddyHe’s a businessman and the owner of the Driftveil mine. Not a Sheriff.
Love the concept of drafting a fantasy elite four from all the regions! Should do a fantasy lineup of all 8 gym leaders too!
I concur with you on that note.
karen using tyranitar seems unlikely since her whole thing is "battling with the pokemon you love"
between her original and rematch teams, she had every opportunity to have tyranitar and she still didn't
Maybe she has a pupitar in level 54
Maybe she doesn't like tyrannitars
The game devs are not beholden to lore. Everyone likes Ttar. It's dumb that she's never used it to begin with.
@@nategwrightprobably because Sand Stream would just weaken the rest of her team overall. You kind of have to build a team around Sandstorm for it to not be a detriment.
@@internetguyperson Sand Stream didn't exist in Gen II, so that wouldn't have played a part in her team comp or the devs' choice to just never give the final elite four that gen's pseudo for whatever reason. Plus, Tyranitar would be her ace, meaning it's sent out last, and doesn't affect her team with the chip damage.
I think it's funny that Ghost is a really strong type of which you select two candidates but end up choosing neither
7:41 including her ability to control her dangerous psychic powers. Her lack of mastery of them was *why* she’s spoiled: she needed to be taken care of.
Its been like 13 years since this guy joined youtube and he still doesn't manage to make us bored.
Facts ive never been bored watching a video of his theyre so entertaining
@@zhongliswallet1355 same
Gladion from gen 7 would definitely be my pick. If he switches up his team a bit, his Silvally and Porygon Z could make him an excellent normal type specialist.
Oh that’s nice, not sure on his willingness to go monotype but it def could work
With Kahili's golf thing, maybe you can help her make golf courses for the region. Either that or help her dad expand his hotel to other regions
I'd also think about Nemona. She's not a main champion, because "Champ" is more of a title in Paldea and she seems like she would be perfect. She clearly wants to continue battling as a profession, she's young and adventurous, so she might be excited to get the opportunity to go to a new region. I think she is the perfect candidate for a new pokemon league, after she graduates of course.
True but again, after she graduates
Plus she’s probably cheap
True, although she'll probably be unable to contain herself and would try to overthrow you. Not malignantly, of course, just she would continuously challenge the Champion to a battle, and by the rules of the League, an Elite Four could challenge the Champion to become the new one.
My elite four team:
First up will be Clermont. He is a scientist (despite a few experiments failing in the anime) I think he will be very helpful and make our land thrive (can't think up of a good thing other than a scientist so I just filled in. Lol) however, I would of have to allow his baby sister to come along but I would see that as a plus. She'll help us by sending out flyers or cards or whatever.
Next will be rahian: (I want iono but can't have 2 electric elite four) rahian will use his power of influence to bring tourist to the land by talking about the rich culture and cuisine. Plus, I convince him to go away from. Dragons and have a weather based team
Speaking of cuisine, my 3rd elite four member is cilian: he is an culinary artist when it comes to food. (Yes, I know there is cress and the fire brother but I like cilian better)
And my 4th elite four member will be: Larry. No other reasons. Just Larry. Lol
As a professional recruiter and a full-time pokemon fan I approve of these hirings
Would this be the kind of reasoning you would go about in this fictional scenario?
I am the same
I am a little upset that Clair didn't make the consideration, yet another powerful dragon trainer, I think she could do well in a region where she isn't thought of as a second rate Lance.
But then again, her attitude is awful and literally nobody likes her. Shes really immature and would drive other potential candidates away.
Mikey will never let her near him
I think tourism would take a hit if she was there because nobody should like Clair
@@byzantine5761 I like Clair
she was cool in the anime
plus it has been many years
she has matured, probably
I'm pretty sure her not accepting you beat her puts off most people who only know her from the games, makes her come across as quite the sore loser, especially in a game where there has already been one sore loser gym leader to be the second one that makes you then go on a fetch quest for does not sound like good leadership material.
My elite 4 will just be child labor
I actually looked more at trainers who scale well to their region’s champion, so for me it would be Juan as he trained Wallace, Draden since he trained Iris and is an educator, Volkner since he scales to Flint and is possibly stronger given that no one could challenge him, also because he can help with construction/electrical systems like he did with sunnyshore, and Marnie since she scales to Raihan’s gym team, and Hop before he got the legendary, plus team yell would likely follow her, giving me a good work force right off the bat
I can already imagine the rivalry between Raihan and Iono😂
Ikr
Lol
Hence me commenting on wanting to see a rap battle between them in the comment section of a video from the official Pokémon TH-cam channel.
They’re gonna start a Pokémon boxing match against each other
To be honest, Raihan is more charismatic
Let's assume any new member would get a team update if for no other reason that many species werent around when they fist appeared, and are also given natures, items and abilities suitable for the Elite Four.
1. Janine- She has proven herself capable as a gym leader and would bring prestige that comes with her family while giving her a chance to step out of Koga's shadow and build her own legacy. Nidoqueen, Toxtricity, (new regional Pokemon), G.Weezing, Venomoth, Crobat.
2. Skyla- Already known to fly to other regions and wants to go places. Would be a huge asset flying people and cargo to and from the region as a day job. A few years of maturing along with the responsibility of being one of the Four would make her formidable. Pidgeot, Togekiss, Corviknight, (new regional pokemon, especially if psychic) Swanna, M Aerodactyl.
3. Blain- Brings a great deal of experience to the league and region as a whole. With his gym gone and having never been rebuilt a new chance may tempt him. Also as a former researcher any new and interesting fire types would help to lure him away. Rapidash, Chandelure, Camerupt, (new regional pokemon, possibly part electric or fairy), Armarouge, Magmortar.
4. Karen- Brings more experience and legitimacy while providing a very strong backstop. Weavie, Honchkrow, Umbreon, Kingambit, Tyranitar, M. Houndoom
I would have to go with Acerola (alola), Winona (hoenn), Volkner (Sinnoh), and Drayden (unova). These are some that have always left a lasting impression on me in general over the years
Definitely agree with Iono. I was pleasantly surprised with how strong her rematch team was and definitely agree she has the makings of a great elite 4 member
No it should've been Lucian
Iono was a very pleasant surprise:) My favorites are never usually picked in these videos!
What a blessing it is to have your videos available for free. Your wonderful personality, your thoughtfulness, your creativity, your playfulness, everything you share brings light into the world, and I so appreciate you.
Imagine how strong Aaron must be, managing to become an Elite Four member with that team.
True, imagine him with an actually decent bug type team, that would be terrifying 😳.
@@s24bro58 no need to imagine it; his Platinum and BDSP rematch teams are quite formidable
@Herb Cookie Antisimps his BDSP rematch team is Scizor / Heracross / Yanmega / Vespiquen / Drapion / Flygon
They made a bug specialist the generation before bug was good
@@proplaystowin well, the moves were decent and at least he uses Scizor and Heracross.
11:30 so funny thing is Poppy is apparently 9. She says so in the game dlc when you invite her to blueberry academy
It's does not matter the child labour laws apply
she is a toddler bro she is gaslighting you it dosent make sense
Molayne - The quiet but chill engineer.
Karen - The team mom.
Siebold - Gordon Ramsay.
Iono - The idiot sandwich.
whomst has awakened the ancient one
Maaannn..why you gotta diss my girl Iono like that...
I would love to see Raihan as like the gay uncle in this, it would be funny as well
Raihan: That one Person who takes Photos of Food
@@ThelegendaryredlegendRaihan is the type of guy to bring conversations to a full stop just to take a photo of lunch
I love that you considered the plot/character relevant stuff in your decisions!! That made this idea and video way more fun!
I kinda wanna go back to your video ‘If every gym leader was the 8th one’ and try to pick E4 members from those teams, because it makes all of them viable possibilities, and I always LOVE when trainers move up the league ladder like that.
There's a lot of good choices in the Galar region.
Gordie is considered among experts in the field to be a potential future Galar champion, has a lot of style and a huge fanbase.
Bea (as shown in twilight wings) is a strong trainer that likes to go to train to different places in order to become stronger and takes her role very seriously.
Nessa is a very famous model that would probably be okay with traveling to other parts of the world.
Klara is strong, wants to improve her career as an idol, is part of the Galarian star tournament, was training under a former champion, was already aiming to be a gym leader so it would be easy to convince her to take an elite four role.
Avery comes from a well known family of psychics, also trained under a former champion, is also part of the Galarian star tournament and would have no problem deciding if he wants to take an elite four role.
8:24 Watching Wikstrom kick Malva in the face nearly killed me.😂
Also if we aren't limiting the selection pool to only include Elite Four members (current and/or former) and Gym Leaders then I would go with Sabrina, Clemont (with the stipulation he add pokemon to his team), Cissy (from the Orange Island arc in the anime), and Riley.
My elite 5:
Tate & Liza: they showed a lot of synergy in their emerald team and it would be fun to have them representing a strong type in the first double battle elite 4 and see how their designs look grown up.
Raihan - he makes use of double battle and weather strats already and now that his ace has an evolution that can take advantage of the terrain being changed by giving it electro shot for rain and solar beam for sunny day.
Sophocles: his trial with Togedemaru and Skarmory is arguably the hardest trial and him setting that up demonstrates his capability to become the first electric type elite 4 in a double battle (+) league.
Opal: she would be a great candidate for the first Fairy type elite 4. This elite 5 is kinda young and quirky and she'd be in her 90s and provide a grounding presence and a lot of life wisdom. She could play her question game but getting it right earns you no boost and getting it wrong boosts her. Trivia will be hard too. Something like 'how many litwicks were hanging out in this town you haven't seen for half the game?' kinda hard. Also maybe this project was the actual reason she needed a replacement gym leader.
It's Elite 4, not Elite 5! Tate & Liza count as one gym leader, remember?
@@Amelia4111 As champion I recognize them as 2 people!
Siebold also has a mega blastoise in the anime, so that's a plus.(and you're gonna need it because there's no way you're getting Raihan)
Unless he helps him defeat leon.
Cool picks, find it kind of interesting you picked someone from the four regions that have a special gimmick,
Molayne - Z moves
Iono - Terastallizing
Siebold/ Karen (ORAS) - Mega evolution (I know Siebold doesn't use any Megas but in the anime he has a Mega Blastoise so if he had a full team he could use one)
Raihan - Dynamax/ Gigantamax (Yes that's specific to Galar but Molayne could invent a mobile power spot)
would love to see a follow up video where you give them fleshed out teams!
Lorelei: pretends to specialize in a bad type but uses Water-types
Bruno: no brains, all brawn
Lance: too expensive
Agatha: retired/dead
Sidney: *failed the vibe check*
Its smart to get an onix to beat the flying types better if he evolved it so he can beat fairy and psychics
@@randomperson5289 what do you mean, “deal with Flying-types”? With worse Attack power than a *Joltik????*
@@randomperson5289 He should at LEAST use a Rhydon if it was a flying type counter, Onix is hopeless as a team member past the 2nd gym 🤦♀
@@MaxWelton yea onix is bad but steelix should be replacing onix steel type resist fairy and psychics which are counters for fighting types also rock moves beat flying
I agree with the random person
0:14 sounds alot like what Saudi Pro League is doing now 😂
Bruh you are so right 😂❤
Honestly, now I want to see your ultimate champion team for this region, I know you made one for Sinnoh but I think it would be really cool to see you make a viable team of Pokémon from any region you want
What If A 3 Year Old Caught Arceus
Crobat (POISON/FLYING)
Golisapod (WATER/BUG)
Grimmsnarl (FAIRY/DARK)
Excadrill (STEEL/GROUND)
Baxcalibur (DRAGON/ICE)
Jolteon (ELECTRIC)
I would love to see this guy as a Pokémon trainer. He would probably have the Pokémon mascot on his channel
My picks (before watching the video)
Elisa: since this hypothetical region is small, and tourism is a big goal in mind, Elisa is probably the quintessential pick for tourism.
Larry: all be honest bro just needs a raise. Also considering how much he seems to hate working with Geeta, he would probably not hesitate to move.
Phoebe: Ghost types are cool. I like the Hoenn region.
Sabrina: she just feels like an elite four trainer and psychic types are cool I guess
Personally I wold hae picked Watson over Phoebe. When you figt watson he is alot scairier then when you fight phoebe and in later rematches has a much stronger team
In the Texona region the Elite 4 are specialists in Ground, Rock, Steel, and Dragon, with Bede being the Champion.
siebold making it into a final running was very shocking, but a pleasant sight, kalos’s elite four is very rarely paid attention to!
Honestly, mostly Game Freak's fault
Like bro, you give the 4 strongest trainers in the region besides the CHAMPION, teams of 4
We should get way-buffed battles with them in Paldea DLC
@@socialistrepublicofvietnam1500 I ABSOLUTELY AGREE. idk what gamefreak was thinking but i hope if we get a kalos themed dlc this happens
Yeah in Journey’s when it was revealed that the Kalos E4 are so renowned that Drasna was one of the last obstacles to the Master’s 8 and Diantha ranked decently High in the Master’s 8 was WILD.
Absolutely agree, they should have had Megas as their ace, like they did in the anime ( seibold had a mega blastoise, mela had a mega houndoom, wikstrom had a mega scizor and drasna had mega altaria), I’m so glad atleast some of them got the attention they deserve in journeys
@@eletraf Speaking of Mega, they should've been used since the GYM LEADERS already. They introduced a new game changing gimmick and only used it TWICE in the game it debuted!?
Mad respect for your stance on Alola
Now this is actually a really interesting idea taken to a pretty interesting extent, I really like how it wasn’t just a “Which guys are strongest” and you also had to consider population growth, tourism, and challenger traffic
My personal elite 4.
1st - Molane (Same reasons as Mikey)
2nd - Iono (Very popular and would bring in a lot of tourists. Also, she would want to do it!)
3rd - Raihan (That sandstorm strategy is too good to pass up. And, he could train in my region to beat Leon!)
Final - Drake (My favourite option. Very strong, willing to do it because he sails and could use a lot of pseudo legendaries!)
Left off the Y in Molayne!
Hot take: a trainer doesn’t need to use an entire team of their type to be considered a type specialist. They just need to have half a team of the type and other Pokémon that support them. Great examples of this are the steel-master Stephen and Dragon-master Raihan.
There is the hack rom "this gym of mine" where you take the role of a gym leader.
You can use 2 pokemon not of your selected type BUT they need to be able to use the signature move of your gym that you receive at the start of the game
Ok...still means Flint is NOT a fire expert since his Diamond/Pearl team is 2/5 fire. That is less than half. So still shows how stupid it is why Flint is a FIRE expert when half his team isn't even fire type!
@@riccardomosena4162 Do you know where I can download that, it sounds really cool
@@vgmaster02 His only excuse is that all of his Pokémon at least know a Fire-Type move.
Even though one of them is litteraly a Steelix with Sunny Day. Like what?
@@criptide6696 Google it and it’ll come up, at least it did for me.
I came into this with 5 people in mind. I can NOT believe how Mikey got those exact 5. Even seibold being a sub. Truly the best picks
Stop the 🧢
@@michaelporrini2045 fr
10:55 Molayne as Hank Green is scarily accurate, I love it. such upstanding dudes
First: Iono- Electric Specialist (with ghost hints? Maybe add local ghost ele, or just rotom?)
Second: Amarys (You know she’s cold and calculating, if you give her the right incentives she’ll be easy to convince, and steel is a brutal type)
Third: Larry (Let the man have his preferred Normal Typage)
Fourth: Karren (Prolly evolve her Murkrow to Honchkrow, add tyran; that umbreon wall alone can stop some trainers)
i know this region is just a hypothetical but it'd be really cool to see it fleshed out! especially with the idea of past characters moving there to help build, there's so much potentional! fantastic video as always
My headcanon for onix is that it's literally just a giant punching bag to train his fighting types.
Volkner would be a great candidate, since he rivals with Flint (which means he is really close to elite four level) and its constantly bored by the lack of challenge in Sinnoh, so he would love to be part of an Elite 4 group
Considering he was planning on challenging the elite four if the player couldn't prove to be a challenge, yeah.
My elite four:
Klara - The poison knuckle sandwich
Rika - The worlds professional interviewer
Blue (if I persuade him) - Ex champion of the Kanto region
Raihan - The weather man and social media man
(If I don’t get Blue to be in my elite four) Wikstrom (I don’t know if I spelled his name right.) - I can give him access to more steel types for a more diverse steel type team, ex: Bisharp, Copperajah, and maybe Iron Valiant, if I can ask Geeta for one.
The U in Wikstrom is supposed to be an O!
@@Amelia4111 Okay, thanks dude, I seriously do not know how to spell Pokémon trainer names.
Honestly would love a whole region that you build like this with gym leaders being trainers who aren’t
Oooooh would love to see a part 2 where you figure out who to hire for the gym leaders 🥰
Same
Yes
**Whitney would like to know you location**
Agreed.
What this guy said
Now you need to expand this region even more by now doing the 8 gyms
Either that or work with other people to make a full on fakemon region
Edit: I know he's already made one when he was youngeer, but if he worked with people like Lockstin to make a full on Mikey region WITH Mytey as a fakemon, i'd be down to see it.
underrated idea, I’m so down for this
Well if I were to make my dream league (leaders + e4)...
Gym 1: Viola (Maybe with some more pokemon though, she could use a revision)
Gym 2: Norman (He's a dependable guy, and while he's a father, we could hypothetically pay for his family's flight to the region and provide housing)
Gym 3: Iono (She'd definitely appreciate being able to go out in public for more than two seconds)
Gym 4: Korrina (Having a fighting type specialist could prove helpful, especially when combined with...)
Gym 5: Allister (Since you probably picked up a psychic type to handle Korrina, good luck with Allister)
Gym 6: Melony (Another bout of synergy, this time with a returning favorite...)
Gym 7: Sabrina (Got fighting types to handle Melony's ice? Time to learn)
Gym 8: Lance (Did you expect anything less? He's damn near legendary)
Elite 4
Rika (Applaud the clod)
Karen (Hope you aren't too confident in those psychic types from earlier staying helpful)
Wallace (He may be a former champion, but I feel that in this hypothetical, we can afford to hire a maximum of three)
Wikstrom (Aegislash is no joke, buddy)
Champion
Steven Stone (That metagross can be SCARY)
Professor
Yeah that'd be me, I don't think I could handle the pressure of champion tbh
Karen, Lucian, Marshal, and Drake. (Shauntal and Molayne were close too.)
Each would have their regional theme play upon their respective battle. Additionally, a Challenge mode is optional at the start of the game, this would give major NPCs held items, strategies, and a wide variety of Pokemon to choose from. The player would be allowed to choose a starter from any region. This would also include the options of a Riolu, an Eevee, and a Pikachu.
11:11 - I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't understand how she's in the Elite Four.
And the scary thing is this: unless she was given it by somebody, she would have had to have beaten a lot of other people. And have you seen the sorts of teams the youngsters/preschoolers use? Imagine actually being beaten by them.
She was confirmed to be 9 years old when you speak to her at Blueberry Academy
@@fadhilmulyono9230still the child labour laws apply
I love the logic you used for this team. Not only for the strength of the league but for the region building and tourism aspect. I would love to face that elite for. A tough challenge with proper built teams. I love it
I love how much detail was put into this theoretical recruitment. I’d love to challenge that region!
Mine would be between
- Powered-up: Bea Lorelei Aaron Larry
- The Posh: Elesa Will Siebold Kahili
- Balanced: Nessa Malva Lucian Molayne
- The wanderer: Grimsley Sabrina Siebold Drake
Each team comprises a former gym leader and a nerd (except for the wanderer team)
Mentioning the Battle Frontier Brains, I now really want a video of your own region's Battle Frontier (if it were to have one). The battle facilities': design, gimmicks, their Frontier Brain (or Brains), and their teams. The Battle Frontier has been my favorite thing since Emerald and I've been wanting them to bring it back for over a decade. So curious what other people would want their own to be like.
I love how Wikstrom just kicks malva in the face it’s kinda funny 😂😂
Please fill your mystery regions gyms next I absolutely adore your deep dives into trainers
Definitely would love to see that. I'll easily add to the conversation just like I did with this video.
A fun hypothetical Elite Four that could be put together is one based around the 4 types that haven’t been represented by E4 members yet,those being Normal, Grass, Electric, and Fairy.
I think my picks for this group would personally be:
-Erika, since she’s tied with Ramos for the highest-ranked Grass gym leader, and is much younger than him, so would be more likely to be willing to move.
-Elesa, because she’s the 2nd-highest ranked Electric gym leader after Volkner, who’s outright said he wants to stay a gym leader and not become an E4 member. Plus being a famous model would be good for the region and league’s publicity.
-Valerie, since the other Fairy-type specialists (Mina, Bede, and Ortega) all seem like they probably wouldn’t want to move from their current regions for story reasons, whereas Valerie doesn’t really have any obligations to stay in Kalos. Plus being a big fashion designer would not only bring the region and league more publicity, but synergize really well with Elesa.
-And finally, Larry; while it’d be cool to see Norman or Cheren take on the role of an Elite Four member, Larry seems the most likely to want to move, since being just an E4 member in the type he wants to specialize in is just a better gig than what he has in Paldea.
Wouldn’t be the strongest batch of trainers per se, but the novelty alone of representing types no other E4 does would probably still get them a lot of attention.
And Norman probably wants to stay close to his kid
On the topic of Elite 4's I just learned from the Pokémon wiki that we don't have a Normal, Grass, Electric, and Fairy type Elite 4 members yet. So I thought it would be neat to go through the gym leaders of these types and look who could get a promotion.
Normal: Norman, Cheren (aged up) maybe even Lenora.
Grass: Brassius
Electric: most of them are good picks, Lt. Surge, Volkner, Elesa, Clemont, Iono
Fairy: not many options Valerie or Bede
Norman, Brassius, Iono, and Valerie because Bede, while being much stronger based off of what we’ve seen, is a terrible person, and thus wouldn’t be accepted.
I got my own Elite Four:
Thordis-She’s an Electric type specialist and is dressed like a Valkyrie and Hawkgirl did a fusion dance.
Cerdic-He’s a Fairy specialist and is dressed like Conan the Barbarian.
Roslin-She’s a Grass specialist and dresses like a flower girl. She wears pigtails too.
Mustafa-He’s a Normal specialist and dresses like a sports announcer. His idea of calm is shouting his mouth off.
@@jeffreygao3956I love this names especially mustafa since that’s my younger bros name
I would say Normal should be either Whitney or Norman
Grass : Erika or Ramos
Electric Elisa Clemont or Volkner
Fairy Opal
@@jeffreygao3956 I like that idea. My PokéProject has an Electric and Grass Elite Four specialist, those being Aleena, a runner who goes on daily-to-weekly jogs, often meeting new faces to become a more social individual while living a healthy life, and Pycantha, an environmentalist who believes that one shouldn’t destroy/harm ecosystems within the region because they are important to sustaining an image of the region (in her case, she also has a small area where plants are grown, but in the right conditions and purposes, and doesn’t plan on dangerously expanding that). The other two are a Poison type specialist named Nixon, a scientist who studies the toxic substances, chemicals, and adaptations of Pokémon, and Kirk, an intelligent Fighting-type user who skillfully plans his road to victory in just about every battle he is in. He also has a nerdy side and doesn’t devote his entire life to physical strength and activity.
Mikey is so unique in these. Like... I see other Poketubers having an idea like this but not the way he does it
I love the world-building! It's very DnD 5e-esque! Would love to hear more stories revolving around this perfectly designed team! I wonder how your experience fighting them would turn out, Mikey...?
i would do this elite four.
Bertha - Ground type is an instresting type, and in all seven generations, Bertha stands out as the sole ground-type specialist in the Elite Four. Despite her team’s vulnerability to grass, water, and ice types, she compensates with sturdy Pokémon like Rhyperior and Gliscor. Bertha’s Hippowdon can be particularly annoying with its Yawn move, leading to powerful ground-type Earthquakes
Malva - OK, she isn't evil anymore plus, "THE PAST IS IN THE PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTTTTTTTTTTTT!" -Elsa once said.
Pheobe - Phoebe’s team includes powerful Pokémon like Dusclops and Banette. Her Sableye can be tricky to handle due to its immunity to Normal and Fighting moves, making her battles quite challenging
Marshal - boasts a team with Pokémon like Conkeldurr and Mienshao. His strategy revolves around high-speed, hard-hitting fighters, making him a formidable opponent.
That's my elite four.
I find it pretty funny how he completely rejects Malva and Poppy due to their situations without even looking at their teams lol
Yeah because he ain't trynna explain to the secretary of work and pensions why one of his employees is not being paid for being a literal kindergartner, and why one of the people he is paying to work for him is a goddamn war criminal
I wouldn't hire poppy either. She's a toddler with a rental team one of the other e4 members probably gave her.
I nearly died when he rejected malva as she is my favourite of the kalos elite four. also poppy is the strongest of her group so i'm quite sad he rejected her. But still it was soooo funny!!!
Well poppy is a literal child so he doesn't want trouble with cops k
Yh it was hilarious
In Malva's defense, she wasn't seen with Team Flare when they did their dirt, as far as I know. Please let me know if I'm correct. But yeah, her being an Elite Four member in a new region away from Team Flare could be very beneficial for her. Everyone deserves a fresh start Mikey.
No I think she was, just in disguise.
Shes also deceased as i say she did die in the manga
If I were looking to hire only the strongest elite 4 members possible, I guess it would be something like :
- Marshal (or maybe Larry ? not too sure with this one)
- Molayne
- Lucian
- either Raihan or another strong dragon specialist like Drake for example.
I really like this idea! I feel like I wouldn’t focus so much on the tourism as much for my team though. I think it’s fine if the elite four is just a strong group as the final test for trainers. My team would be Mina, I feel as though it’s time for a fairy elite 4 member and she is already used to traveling due to moving from kanto to ahlola. Plus she is a strong trainer and is a trial captain. Volkner would be next, in game lore he’s so strong he got depressed by beating every challenger and he was considering joining(or taking on I forget) the elite four. Then I’d go for Juan, he was Wallace’s mentor and his Kingdra alone still gives emerald players nightmares. And finally, I’d also go with Karen. I feel like this is a good group of tough trainers that have good typing strength and have strong or difficult to deal with Pokémon. I’d switch up the teams a bit for all of them to help bring out their full potential. I also feel like the games are going back to a prefixed match up line unlike the open way B/W and X/Y had, so this team has a good mix of age, experience, and personality. I’d prefer trainers get to choose what order they take them on but if I had a prefix order it’d be Mina to start, then Volkner, then Juan, and finish with Karen, she deserves to still be at the top. And just for fun if I wasn’t the champion and had to pick on I’d of course choose Nemona.
