      I suspect he might do it in a live stream. He said in the video we'll see him do it and in the final sticker star stream with Jon he said he wanted to stream getting the final medals that he wouldn't get naturally in the LP. Which I think this would count as and would make it a little less monotonous for him since he can do it while talking with chat.

    I still do not think Hilda/Hilbert are *_gone,_* because if Ghetsis had killed them he'd already have their legendary dragon, but he had to lure out N to take the dragon he had. I personally think they left Unova and are searching for N in the other regions.

    • @RPGGOD1
      @RPGGOD1 8 месяцев назад +48

      It's pretty much outright stated by their mom too when you visit her and Pokemon Masters, while not necessarily canon, still draws from that plot point by having Hilbert say he was searching for him (along with Ghetsis never making an allusion to any deadly interactions with him). Between that and the dragon, the theory makes little sense since you have to ignore too many things for it to work.

    • @ultimateshadow7522

    • @TheMasterBlaze
      @TheMasterBlaze 8 месяцев назад +11

      You're not too far off! This is the angle many offshoots and spin-off series have taken! They reveal that more often than not Hilbert/Hilda were simply off looking for N and advancing their dream and were never Missing In Action or harmed in any way. The Anime Mini-Series "Pokemon Generations" shows us that in a world without Rosa/Nate that both N and Hilbert/Hilda would once again meet to stand against Ghetsis. In mobile Spin-off "Pokemon Masters" Hilda and Hilbert both have a surprise meeting with N on the island resort after recieving seperate invitations to the island.

      The only thing missing from the PWT to make it truly perfect is the Elite 4 of all regions up to that point. The E4s often have some very interesting characters that we almost never get to see again because they oddly have less impact than gym leaders. Lorelei, Karen, Drake, Lucian, Shauntal and more all getting left by the wayside for no reason. And c'mon, you're telling me that these trainers who are supposedly stronger than the gym leaders wouldn't take part in such a massive event like this? If anything I'd imagine they'd want to join in as well.

    44:30 Another cool part with PWT's VGC-based tournaments is the music that plays during those battles, "Pokémon World Championships Final". This is a remix of Blue's battle theme (separate from the regular PWT remix) that played during the finals matches in the real-life Gen 5 VGC world championships, as can be seen in the VODs for those matches. This track was remixed again for Gen 6 and 7 VGC finals matches, before being dropped in Gen 8.

    Technically most gym leaders have had a "powered up" team even before B2W2, HGSS had the Fighting Dojo for rematches with the Kanto and Johto gym leaders, Platinum let you rematch Sinnoh gym leaders, but Emerald also let you rematch the Hoenn gym leaders with the PokeNav's Match Call, granted getting them to want a rematch is kinda hard with how random it feels and you need to rematch them around four times to get them to have their full team, but it's really cool seeing ones like Winona get Dragonite and Roxanne getting the Kanto fossil Pokemon.

    We may not have gotten a Battle Frontier in BW2 but the PWT is an amazing addition and as far as Battle Facilities go it's easily one of the best we've ever gotten with how it takes the tournament format from the Battle Dome in Emerald and throws in some incredible fanservice with every single gym leader and champion up to this point, with Literally the only exclusion being Koga and Iris weirdly enough. Hell they basically went and combined this fanservice aspect with the traditional Battle Tower style facility when we eventually get to Gen 7 which is also amazing.
    That bit about the unused fight with Hilbert/Hilda is super interesting, and something I've genuinely never heard about before. I really have to wonder just what kind of a team they would have had in a tournament battle and how that would have interacted with Memory Link. I could imagine them having the starter you chose and potentially the corresponding monkey to parallel Cheren and Bianca but beyond that it's hard to say especially since Reshiram/Zekrom and would be banned. Maybe Tornadus/Thunderus and Zoroark since the one from BWin Lostlorn Forest is no longer there and it would kinda follow a similar philosophy to how Red's team corresponds to encounters from Pokemon Yellow.

      Unfortunately the fanservice in the Battle Tower in gen 7 is very limited compared to this. It only gets any past characters that are already in the game plus Red and Blue, the latter of which being the only ones to get A remix (and I do say "A" remix, because they mixed both themes together). So basically, Cynthia, Grimsley, and Colress basically get to have crusty DS music on the 3DS, and Wally (who was already a blatant asset reuse himself) basically has his theme ported over from ORAS. I don't even know if Sycamore's forgettable assistants even brought over any music from XY, which says a lot.
      Meanwhile the PWT here does that for literally every past Gym Leader and Champion, falling short only of Elite Fours and past notable characters (such as protags and rivals aside from Red and Blue).

    To that little tangent on how you thought that we might have hated our siblings. As a twin (Though not an identical one, so my experience applies a bit less), it really depends. I love my twin, and there's hardly been more than a couple of fights throughout our lives. But my other two sisters along with my twin? Definitely a much more love-hate relationship between them tbh. I've never really minded about sharing my stuff, although perhaps that's due to me not having a brother, but my sisters hate giving each other their things, even if they have multiple of them, like a certain shoe for instance. Just thought that it was interesting to note.

    What I'd have done for the PWT Hilbert/Hilda fight is use the Memory Link to give you to opposite trainer to your BW1 game, with a set team.
    So if you play as Hibert, you get to fight Hilda in BW2 and the reverse.
    This way, it follows canon, since the opposite trainer does canonically exist in BW1, its just while you are capturing legendary Pokemon and beating up a terrorist organisation, your opposite was riding the subway.
    That trainer who rode the subway is the one you can fight in the PWT.

    Emile, as for your rant about siblings:
    There's age ranges. When siblings are very little, they get along great. Then they dramatically don't, and then sometime when the younger sibling in a teenager, they start getting along again, and ideally recognize that they're actually among eachothers' best friends in the world. There is nobody on earth I'm closer to than my older brother. We are eachothers' best friends, and that relationship means the world to me. That is not to say we don't get on eachothers' nerves, or that we haven't spent a few years habitually at eachothers' throats. These things are normal, and honestly exaugurated by the people telling the story most of the time.

    The PWT was such an amazing addition!
    All the remixes of previous Gym Leader themes being bangers, being able to talk to returning characters, new designs & animations on older characters, references to older generations and last but not least: the soundtrack.
    The track that plays for the final battle of the PWT is pure ear candy and one I find myself listening to often. Especially at 13:06 & 23:13.
    It's nostalgia & fanservice done right.
    I can't help but feel as though if Pokémon Z happened, they would've brought back PWT with each returning trainer having one Mega-Evolved Pokémon. That's only seen in the final battle of course, gotta nerf at some points.

    I believe the reason behind why Koga isn't in the Kanto Leaders tournament is because canonically, he remained an E4 member and never went back to being a Gym Leader. Canonically, gen 5 takes place after gen 2, according to the "bye-bye-a-go-go" grunt that lives in Icirrus City. Koga became an Elite Four member sometime between gens 1 and 2, and I don't see why he would go back to being a Gym Leader, especially when Janine is running his gym now.
    That doesn't explain a thing about why Giovanni's here in that case, I'm just saying my piece on Koga specifically.

    I think the Tate & Liza thing is interesting- the discussion about attitudes toward siblings, that is. I've known a few pairs of twins growing up with varying levels of closeness. One of my best friends through middle and high school had a twin brother, and the two of them got along pretty well if I remember correctly. I don't know if them being opposite genders made a big difference, but they tended to have all separate things despite being twins. On the other hand, I knew a pair of same-gender twins online for a few years and they were inseparable. I believe they share a tumblr and Facebook account to this day, not having separate ones for each of them. They did have separate Snapchat accounts simply because they had different phones, but if they could possibly share an account on something they would prefer to! I would have thought they were the same person pretending to be two people if I hadn't had phone calls with both of them and seen pictures of them together, lol.
    I'm sure a lot of factors go into how siblings feel about each other. For me, I have a brother who's about four years older than me. We were never particularly close due to the age gap and us having other stuff going on in our lives (mostly mental health problems), and after he went to college I more or less felt like an only child because I scarcely ever talked to him or saw him. When I told this to the inseparable twins I mentioned in the first paragraph, they actually cried because they couldn't imagine not being close to their sibling and thought it was so sad! Meanwhile, I wasn't really bothered about it. It was just kind of the way it was and I wasn't losing sleep over a lost relationship with my brother or anything like that. So I guess it really can depend on a lot of things.
