In case anyone was wondering, I didn't mention Alola due to trial captains and gym leaders having different titles. You can expect a trial captains ranking video at some point in the future though :)
*goes through this list no problem and agree with everything* *sees Kabu as the worst* Right listen here dude. Don't disrespect Dadbu like that. Plus Arcanine
I actually couldnt agree due to not playing or finishing it yet, but I agree with him disliking Kabu. It's a breeze with drizzile and I literally one-shot his arcanine I'm sure. Also his challenge is just bad. I dont like it much and took me like a minute to finish. ( I think it may have taken a little longer then Milo's but at least that was fun to an extent. ) Just spam water pulse and you win.
"And you'd think with such an intense battle, Whitney would have some powerful words to say, but no. Instead, she cries like a baby." But Clair does the exact same thing. When you beat her, she screams and whines and won't accept her loss till you go and give her a dragon fang. Whitney is annoying, but Claire also has anger management problems and is a sore loser.
My favorites/leasts are; Kanto-Misty/Lt. Surge Johto-Jasmine/Bugsy Hoenn-Flannery/Winona Sinnoh-Fantina/Crasher Wake Unova-Roxie/Clay Kalos-Clemont/Ramos (I forgot his name until Pokedan said it) Galar-Piers/Gordie Honestly my reasoning is mostly design based.
Even I loved misty and brock. Brock is funny and misty is cute. Poor psyduck though And my least favorite is brycen. Like his anime appearance but kinda weak and forgettable in game
Mine is (Faves): Kanto: Giovanni (Only decent one) Johto: Clair (Dragon types. Don't ask) Hoenn: Norman (No contest. Slaking is a legit challenge) Sinnoh: the Rock gym leader (I haven't played through Sinnoh for 8 or so years, so I don't remember) Unova: Roxie (she's cooler than the others) Kalos: Korrina (mainly because of the op Lucario you get from her) Galar: Piers (he doesn't use Dynamax or Gigantamax AND he's the first dark type gym leader. Plus, his unique theme rocks)
@@TheTabrizis I would say kabu is the worst hes not my favourite but not the worst for me the worst for me is opal shes plain creepy I hate her quiz challenge. But peirs is my all time fave in sword sheild.
Kabu is ok hes not by all time fave sword sheild gym leader ,opal is just plain creepy the exact opposite expectations of a fairy gym leader. For me normally I dont go with the evil gym leaders with a evil team but for me my favourite sword sheild gym leader is piers a dark type leder who is a rock star.
My best and worst gym leaders of each region are Kanto: Best is Sabrina and worst is Misty Johto: Best is Clair and worst is Falkner or however you spell it. Hoenn: Best is Winona and least favorite is Brawly Sinnoh: Best is Candice and least favorite is Roark Unova: Best is Elesa and worst is Marlon Kalos: Best is Valerie and worst is Wulfric Galar: Best is Bea and worst is Opal Sabrina because I loved her in the anime. Misty because I didn’t like her in the anime and she was kind of uninteresting in the games. Bring your pitchforks I don’t care. Clair because I loved the challenge she gives and unpopular opinion, but I really enjoyed her sending me to take that quiz. Falkner because not only is he not interesting, but him arguing with Janine over whose dad is better was annoying. At least Janine being a ninja is cool. Winona because she has this calm and fierce look to her and I love that. Also she uses Altaria and that’s cool. Brawly just because I expected him to be a water type gym leader in my first time and that disappointed me. Oh well at least we got Wallace. Candice because I love her gym puzzle and I love her personality. Roark just because I wish the battle was more like how it was in the anime and I’m not into how he just took over for Byron. I still like the guy though. Elesa because in short she was such an inspiration for me. Marlon because he’s supposed to be the 8th gym leader in Black 2 and White 2 and he sucks. I would’ve liked it much more if Roxie was the 8th gym leader like in the anime. With the same challenge level too and badassery as well. Valerie because I love how she learned to talk to pokemon because she wanted to be a pokemon. Her design is also cool. Wulfric for the same reason as Marlon. Honestly I forgot he existed when I first typed this. Bea because I love how she is more of a fighting type gym leader than others. Since she bows before the battle. I also love her in the twilight wings series. Opal because her gym challenge was boring and for a first time it can be unfair. She was also boring.
Here are my favourite Gym Leaders from each region: Kanto: Brock Johto: Jasmine Hoenn: Flannery Sinnoh: Candice Unova: Burgh Kalos: Clemont Galar: Nessa
I have wanted to say this for a long time, and also its just my opinion: Many people dislike Whitney and love Claire. And I just don't get why. Both of them are really hard to face. So what is the difference? Oh yeah, Whitney doesn't accept her defeat and starts crying. But if you think about it, that is the same exact thing Claire does. She is really stubborn and has anger issues. Instead of giving you the Rising Badge, she tells you to do the Dragon's Den Challenge (which is pretty dumb and easy to do because of how easy the questions are, could've been used for some other purpose). When she sees that you have won (and is EXTREMELY surprised for some reason, almost falls down) she shows us that she is a HORRIBLE pokemon gym leader who has no sympathy toward pokemon. This is because she says that she is not approved for this challenge which is just some easy questions testing the bond with you and your pokemon. This means she doesn't know how to raise pokemon properly. Anyways I think the main reason people like Claire is because she used dragon types, and I personally don't like this kind of bias.
Favs/least favs Kanto: Brock/Blaine Johto: Morty/Falkner Hoenn: Winona/Tate and Liza Sinnoh: Volkner/that steel type one Unova: Clay/the waiter trio Kalos: Valerie/the grass type one

You're not the first to do it but I GENUINELY feel that you should NEVER let the anime influence your decisions as they are COMPLETELY separate characters AND canon's.
Kanto fav - Blaine least - koga Jhoto fav - Witney least -bugsy Hoeen - fav - tat jaisa lea-roxainne Sinoh - fav - volkner lea gardenia Inova fav the 2nd one you prefer lea- burgh Kanto my same
THE H IN JOHTO SHOULD BE AFTER THE FIRST O! LEFT OFF THE H IN WHITNEY! HOENN IS SPELLED WITH 2 N'S, NOT 2 E'S! TATE& LIZA, NOT TAT AND JAISA, THERE IS NO I IN ROXANNE, UNOVA DOES NOT START WITH AN I, IT STARTS WITH A U, THE SECOND ONE IS EITHER LENORA OR ROXIE! DO NOT MENTION A GYM LEADER IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE NAME! THERE SHOULD BE 2 N'S IN SINNOH! PLEASE WORK ON YOUR SPELLING!
my list Kanto- Lt. Surge/ Erika Johto- Morty/ Clair Hoenn- Norman/ Roxanne Sinnoh- Crasher Wake/ Maylene Unova- Drayden/ Clay Kalos- Grant/ Ramos Galar- Raihan/ Opal brief explanations Kanto- Lt. Surge was fantastic in both the games and anime meanwhile Erika in the anime comes off very snobby and denied access because ash didn't like her perfume. PETTY also her team sucks Johto- Morty I always loved ghost types, and I always had a hard time beating him when I was younger. Clair I just can't stand that she throws a bigger temper tantrum then Whitney and only gives you the badge when her job is threatened. Hoenn- Norman, I like that it really feels like a rite of passage towards your battle with him its something we haven't seen before. Roxanne, she suffers for lack of challenge and originality now people pick on Roark but at least he has headbutt and freaking stealth rock. She has nothing to make her standout from the two. Sinnoh- Crasher Wake I love his personality and that he's a wrestler that makes him really cool its something we didn't see at the time. Maylene it's nothing personal but sinnoh had a great cast of gym leaders and she never challenged me. Unova- Drayden is amazing and I love his gym it makes you feel that it's the big challenge. He was always hard for me and still is. Clay- while I love excadrill and Krookodile the reason he's my least favorite of unova is because of seismitoad, I know its petty but it makes him really go down in difficulty due to the quad grass weakness. Kalos- Grant I loved that he used tyrunt and amaura It was one of the few challenges I got from kalos. His gym was also really cool. As much as I loved Ramo's gym I can't help but say for the 4th gym leader he was way too easy and why jumpluff and weepinbell There was gourgeist and trevenant begging to be used Galar- Raihan I like how he actually uses double battle which hasn't been seen in along time, I like his personality and how he uses pokemon to compliment his team to give strategy. Opal- I'm not the biggest fan of fairy type but I HATE that if you get a question wrong your stats decrease it feels like she tampered with your team right before you battle her, i'm sorry but no just no.
In Erika's defense, it wasn't her herself that denied Ash entry to her gym, more so her gym trainers. She was still okay with battling Ash despite his thoughts on perfume. Still, she should have reprimanded those assistants of hers.
Volia is the best kalos gym leader clue My favourit gym leader in Kanto is misty I love her team! My least favourite gym leader in Kanto is blane he's bold Joltoh I think I spelled it Rong My favourite gym leader is Clair love her My least favourite gym leader is morty Hollen Most favourite gym leader roxan Least is I don't know tell me who's the worst gym leader in Hollen most votes I'll edit Sinow Favourite gym leader is gardenia Least favourite gym leader no Sinow is the best Univa Best elesa as my favourite Worst is clay Best read the clue Volia Worst romo sorry forgot how to spell Galer Best nessa Worst habit
My favs are Kanto: Erika Johto: Jasmin/Clair (they both top) Hoenn: Tate and Liza cause doublebattle Sinnoh: The Electric Gym guy. Unova: Drayden cause epic beard and Eliza since Electro again. And Rollercoaster Kalos: I really do like Conny cause Anime and Gym Galar: Nessa or the fighter char.
You cannot add a Gym Leader to the list if you don't know their name! The names you're looking for are Volkner and Bea! The Unova Gym Leader for Electric is Elesa, not Eliza!
@@Amelia4111 oh but i can. Also i have never played a english Pokemon game. So i have to try and recall the english names by the anime knowledge i have...so i think i can.
Kanto Best: Brock, because nothing is better than a jelly filled donut 🍙 Worst: Giovanni, because even though he is the master of an evil team, he is a gym leader and that doesn’t make any sense to me
clair will always be my all time fav gym leader i love her personality and also dragon types are my favorite Pokémon and i love her kingdra and dragonair
Hoenn psychic gym was way too hard for me because I have only 2 strong pokemons 1) Blaziken lvl 61 and 2) Tentacruel of lvl 56 bot are vulnerable to psychic
My favorites KANTO : Misty - because of the animi but also the game though she is definitely is an iconic badass and gym leader with such a cool and great pokemon team in every game JOHTO : Clair - majestic personality, awesome design, dragon type trainer, love from animi, great gym badge and city name too HOENN : Winnona - have most iconic and badass design in hoenn, flying type gym leader my one favorite type of pokemon, had great team SINNOH : Candice and Volkner ( and i also ship them because i love their pair) - coolest characters from sinnoh with some of my favorite pokemon UNOVA : Elesa- What a beauty 😍 KALOS : Clemont - love from animi and Valerie - my most favorite pokemon type gym leader with such a beautiful city gym and sylveon my love💓💖 GALAR : Nessa - i watched her own episode on RUclips and that makes me to like her
Favorite - Least Favorite Gen 1: Koga-Erika Gen 2: Jasmine-Chuck Gen 3: Flannery-Norman Gen 4: Volkner-Byron Gen 5 (BW): Elesa-Striaton trio Gen 5 (BW2): Elesa-Marlon Not gonna do this for gens 6-8 since I haven't played them yet oof
Agree, she is a whiny brat and sore loser too! And no one acknowledges it! She's a brat just like Whitney! But I do really like Jasmine, who is probably my favorite from Johto
My picks for faves/least faves: Kanto: Sabrina/Erika Johto: Morty/Bianca Hohenn: Wallace/Norman Sinnoh: Volkner/Byron (though like you I still love him) Unova: Burgh/Clay Kalos: Korrina/Ramos (don't dislike him thoigh) ((Alola: Acerola/Sophocles)) Galar: Raihan/Kabu
BIANCA IS NOT A GYM LEADER, AND SHE'S FROM UNOVA, NOT JOHTO! THERE SHOULD NOT BE AN I IN THOUGH THE SECOND TIME! ALOLA DOESN'T HAVE GYM LEADERS, AND TRIAL CAPTAINS DON'T COUNT!
My faves Kanto, surge Hoenn,Flannery Sinnoh, volkner Unova,elesa Kalos , korrina Galar ,piers Worst Kanto,Blaine Hoenn, brawly Sinnoh,roark Unova, cress Kalos,ramos Galar, opal Iv never played the gold silver games so I cant really give my opinion on gym leaders in that region yet.
Okay so here is my favourite gym leaders of each region Kanto Favourite : Koga I just love ninjas Least favourite: Lt Surge those stupid freaking bins Johto Favourite: morty (though his original gym can go to hell) Least favourite: Claire she is a really sore loser Hoenn Favourite: dad (norman also his emerald team is really good) Least favourite: Roxanne (yeah I just don’t like her) Sinnoh Favourite: Crasher Wake (I love wrestling) Least favourite: Falkner (he is just depressing) Unova Favourite: Roxie (I’m a rocker) Least favourite: Chili cress and chilen (who like them?) Kalos Favourite: Grant (the only one I had a challenge with) Least favourite: everyone else (the game was to damn easy) Galar Favourite: Peiers (a rockstar and evil team leader and first dark type gym leader) Least favourite: Gordie (he was too easy is it because I started with sobble maybe but still poor show)
For me it’s Kanto: Erika (I love her she’s adorable and love grass types) Johto: Jasmine Hoenn: Winona (we all have gotten obliterated by her altaria) Sinnoh: Candice Unova: Roxy Kalos: Clemons Galar: Piers (he’s my favorite gym leader of all time)
My favorites Kanto: fav is Blaine because I like his personality and the adventures manga helped a lot/ least fav is Erika because she is pretty bland much like was said in the video Johto: fav is Morty because I love the ghost type and he is such a chill dude/ least fav is Whitney for the same reasons said in the video Hoenn: fav is Flannery because of her gym and she is one of my favorite pokegirls/ least fav is Brawly because he is just kinda there and didn't really feel like a proper gym to me. Sinnoh: fav is Candice because Abomasnow is one of my favorite pokemon and I have always loved ice puzzles/ least fav is Volkner because he was the most forgettable for me. I had to lookup his name for this comment. Unova: fav is Skyla because she is amazingly designed and her gym puzzle involves being shot across a room with a cannon. She is my top gym leader of all time/ least fav is Elesa mostly for reasons I can't explain. Idk what it is Kalos: fav is Clemont mostly because because of the anime. I don't really care for any of the gym leaders in Kalos he is just the one I dislike the least/ least fav is Korrina because her personality is pretty over done to me and Lucario feels so overhyped that I have grown to dislike it. Galar: fav is Melony because ice mom enough said/ least fav is Nessa because while I genuinely enjoy every gym leader in Galar the deciding factor is the challenge itself and unlike the video I actually enjoyed Kabu's gym as someone going through a nuzlocke on their first run. Nessa's puzzle is way too easy with nothing much going on for it.
You know, despite being a long-time Pokemon fan, I never considered all that much who my favorite and least favorite Gym Leaders were until recently. Might as well list mine. *Kanto* As much as I want to put Koga, that's more for when he was an Elite Four member in the Johto games. Instead, I'm going with Blue, of all characters, due to the challenge of being the only Gym Leader that doesn't specialize in any one type, as well as how he's undergone some character development since the old days so that he's not as much of an arrogant douche anymore. Blaine, on the other hand, has really soured on me over time. I consider him to be the least representive of the Fire type out of all of the type's specialists. No, seriously, what the flying Farfetch'd do quiz questions and riddles have to do with fire? Shouldn't that be more of a Psychic-type thing? You know, using your brainpower? Add in the fact that you'll already have Surf when you get to him, easy access to plenty of Water-types by this point, and him having relatively no way to counteract his Pokemon's weaknesses, and you have one easy fight. *Johto* Alright, let's get this out of the way- Whitney is my least favorite as well, for the reasons everyone has given. My runner-up in least favorite then would have to be Falkner due to his line-up of the Pidgey line being... kinda boring. My favorite from Johto would have to be Jasmine. She set the bar high when she showed her compassion by taking care of Amphy, plus I like how she's fierce in battle but otherwise shy. Such a shame that her Gym is so empty, though. *Hoenn* For Hoenn, Flannery is definitely my favorite, and that mostly comes down to personality. Being relatively new and thus unsure of how she wants to present herself as a Gym Leader really sells the whole chaotic, volatile nature of the Fire type. As for my least favorite... Juan. Seriously, Wallace was fine enough as a Gym Leader. There was no point in adding Juan just to make Wallace the Champion. It makes me think that IGN actually had a point in their "too much water" quip, only that they directed it at the wrong Hoenn game. *Sinnoh* As much as I like how Crasher Wake had a challenging fight, especially with how I accidentally first fought him out of order in Diamond (good thing I chose Turtwig), I have to give the favorite spot here to Volkner. He really sells the Electric-type not only in his Gym design, but also in his minor storyline. Seriously... by request of the Fire guy, you have to reignite Volkner's spark. How clever is that? Originally, I had Gardenia as my least favorite, but really thinking about it, Fantina takes this spot for the sole virtue that her DP "puzzle" is just math. I mean, it's not particularly _hard_ math, but really? Is that the best you got? *Unova* Picking my favorite and least favorites from Unova was the hardest of the bunch, because most of them actually do their duties in helping people out (especially against Team Plasma). Funny enough, my favorite wasn't involved in any of that at all- Roxie. I love her full-on punk feel, and I will never get the Japanese version of her Gym track out of my head as long as I live. Seriously, Game Freak, please bring her back at some point. And give her a Toxtricity while you're at it! For my least favorite, I'll have to actually go with Marlon. Just like Juan before him, Marlon just feels tacked-on, and his questioning of whether we're "doing the right thing" feels insulting at the point in which he asks. It would've made more sense to have that be in Black and White as opposed to the sequels. *Kalos* Regrettably, due to the timing in which X and Y came out (the latter half of my university studies), Kalos is the one main region I have never gotten to experience as of yet. Not even through an LP. As a result, I don't have enough info to hold any opinion on the Kalos Gym Leaders. *Alola* Might as well throw this one in here. Unfortunately, I haven't finished any of the Alola games yet, though I have watched two different LP's of Ultra Moon. My favorite so far is definitely Acerola, what with her being a skilled enough trainer to be in Alola's Elite Four in the end, as well as how the abandoned Thrifty Megamart was set up so perfectly for the Ghost-type trial. Once again, though, we have the last Gym Leader- or Trial Captain, in this case- feeling tacked-on, this time with Mina. Sure, it's nice that her trial has us reflect on our journey, but that's about all the positives she has going for her. Her design doesn't scream "Fairy-type specialist" like with Valerie or Opal, and in the base Sun and Moon, she doesn't even have a trial! *Galar* The battle for my favorite was actually pretty fierce between Opal, Piers and Raihan, but in the end, the post-game clinched it in favor of Piers. Sure, he's stepped down from being a Gym Leader by that point, but he's the only one of the twelve different GL's between both versions to step up to face the post-game crisis in multiple towns. There's also his snarky commentary, how his gym is set up like an old-school beat-em-up sidescroller, and how he doesn't rely on Dynamax as a crutch for his team. Gordie, on the other hand, didn't stand out in a good way. His gym puzzle is a bad combination of easy to the point of brute forcing, yet somehow still annoying. Heck, the placement of where his gym is makes no sense. Why have it in an icy area? Wouldn't it make more sense geographically to be in Stow-on-Side? At least his team is made up to counter some of the type's weaknesses.
@@Amelia4111 1) By that logic, we shouldn't talk about Blue when we're talking about Champions. 2) Trial Captains, while not officially Gym Leaders, play a role analogous to that of the Gym Leaders of other regions.
@@SuperGoker64 JUST BECAUSE ALOLA DOESN'T HAVE GYM LEADERS DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD MENTION THEM IN A CLIP THAT TALKS ABOUT GYM LEADERS! DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN! >:(
@@Amelia4111 Look, if the Club Leaders of the Pokemon TCG Game Boy games can be seen as a parallel to Gym Leaders, then the same should apply to Trial Captains. If you and PokeDan want to treat them separately, then go ahead. That doesn't entitle you to act like a spoiled brat whenever someone else compares two roles of similar ranking and importance.
André Cota Sorry dude but I gotta make a living. Also the only thing I added that made the video just over ten minutes was a 5 second advertisement of an upcoming event in attending. I see no harm in it. I hope you can understand that all the time I invest in making these videos needs some sort of payoff, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to afford to keep making them and living in the real world at the same time.
@@Dan_Parfitt yeah I understand, it's just sometimes watching so many people doing these types of manipulating can become frustratring for the viewer because we want to go straight to the point. Either way, good video bro, keep up the work and maybe explain in higher detail(in the sense of why you like/dislike trainers) instead of making a few scripted or unscripted parts longer 👍
My Favourite Kanto Best Lt Surge Worst Koga Jotho Best Chuck Worst Jasmine Hoenn Best Norman Worst wallace Sinnoh Best Crusher Wake Worst Crusher Wake Unova Best Cheren Wost The trio Kalos Best Ramos Worst Valerie her gym once took me two full days to reach her and i didnt want to use internet for help as it was yet another time when i was playing pokemon xy and my ego didnt let me check. Post view edit Normans pokemon are beasts hes the gym leader i always have to prepare for. His slaking tanks hits so you have to have fighting pokemon on your team if you dont youre doomed And Wallace wasnt dissapointing for you his las gym leader he supposed to be op and he uses water pokemon Crasher Wake should teach him how to be one the toughest gymliders to date. This is why i love him and hate him at the same time. In that point of the game his op as hell. Too hard in my opinion. Also Ramos seriously hes so freakin amazing oldie his warmth and peace is something that always calma me down plus once when i wasn't careful enough he actually sent me to pokecenter for underestimating him.
@@Amelia4111 your right about Johto! And thats the region i started my journey i am ashamed. As for Galar Alola was enought of a mistake and galar is beyond that i do not acknowledge it at all. For me there is no more generations so far.

I have to agree to disagree with Lenora and Ramos. I did like hearing your reasonings behind everyone though.
I will defend Kabu, since he's from Hoenn, my first game which I consider my home region.
I liked Kabu. Opal on the other hand....... 🔫
opal sucks penids
Kabu is ok hes not by all time fave sword sheild gym leader ,opal is just plain creepy the exact opposite expectations of a fairy gym leader. For me normally I dont go with the evil gym leaders with a evil team but for me my favourite sword sheild gym leader is piers a dark type leder who is a rock star.

Kanto: Best is Sabrina and worst is Misty
Johto: Best is Clair and worst is Falkner or however you spell it.
Hoenn: Best is Winona and least favorite is Brawly
Sinnoh: Best is Candice and least favorite is Roark
Unova: Best is Elesa and worst is Marlon
Kalos: Best is Valerie and worst is Wulfric
Galar: Best is Bea and worst is Opal
Sabrina because I loved her in the anime.
Misty because I didn’t like her in the anime and she was kind of uninteresting in the games. Bring your pitchforks I don’t care.
Clair because I loved the challenge she gives and unpopular opinion, but I really enjoyed her sending me to take that quiz.
Falkner because not only is he not interesting, but him arguing with Janine over whose dad is better was annoying. At least Janine being a ninja is cool.
Winona because she has this calm and fierce look to her and I love that. Also she uses Altaria and that’s cool.
Brawly just because I expected him to be a water type gym leader in my first time and that disappointed me. Oh well at least we got Wallace.
Candice because I love her gym puzzle and I love her personality.
Roark just because I wish the battle was more like how it was in the anime and I’m not into how he just took over for Byron. I still like the guy though.
Elesa because in short she was such an inspiration for me.
Marlon because he’s supposed to be the 8th gym leader in Black 2 and White 2 and he sucks. I would’ve liked it much more if Roxie was the 8th gym leader like in the anime. With the same challenge level too and badassery as well.
Valerie because I love how she learned to talk to pokemon because she wanted to be a pokemon. Her design is also cool.
Wulfric for the same reason as Marlon. Honestly I forgot he existed when I first typed this.
Bea because I love how she is more of a fighting type gym leader than others. Since she bows before the battle. I also love her in the twilight wings series.
Opal because her gym challenge was boring and for a first time it can be unfair. She was also boring.
THERE IS NO E IN BRAWLY!
@@Amelia4111 Ok seriously an 11 month old comment that has barely any likes, and that is the reply you give? Sheesh and I thought I was a grammar nut.
I agree with most of these, especially Kanto
Misty is awesome, and Staryu and Starmie are my favorite pokemon (and yeah, Erika is kind of meh)
Bea is hard to take down if you don’t have the right team, I had to face her 3 times in my first play through of Sword
I had to 20 times
I was lucky. I had to fight a ghost *Boi* instead and he is nowhere near a challenge.
When my brother first showed me Pokémon sword/shield I said it would be horrible. Now I have completed the game and love it XD
People can change Huh?
I personally always had high hopes for sword and shield. I’m glad you too got to witness all of the good aspects of the game.
Great video Dan!
3:32 you... you do know that Clair throws a fit after defeat too right? She straight up refuses to give you her badge?
LEFT OFF GH IN STRAIGHT!

Here are my favourite Gym Leaders from each region:
Kanto: Brock
Johto: Jasmine
Hoenn: Flannery
Sinnoh: Candice
Unova: Burgh
Kalos: Clemont
Galar: Nessa
i swear this guy has something against normal type gym leaders
I have wanted to say this for a long time, and also its just my opinion:
Many people dislike Whitney and love Claire. And I just don't get why. Both of them are really hard to face. So what is the difference? Oh yeah, Whitney doesn't accept her defeat and starts crying. But if you think about it, that is the same exact thing Claire does. She is really stubborn and has anger issues. Instead of giving you the Rising Badge, she tells you to do the Dragon's Den Challenge (which is pretty dumb and easy to do because of how easy the questions are, could've been used for some other purpose). When she sees that you have won (and is EXTREMELY surprised for some reason, almost falls down) she shows us that she is a HORRIBLE pokemon gym leader who has no sympathy toward pokemon. This is because she says that she is not approved for this challenge which is just some easy questions testing the bond with you and your pokemon. This means she doesn't know how to raise pokemon properly. Anyways I think the main reason people like Claire is because she used dragon types, and I personally don't like this kind of bias.
CLAIR DOES NOT END WITH AN E! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
@@Amelia4111 i get it u just like clair but u dont have any other reason to fight me other than a small mistake in spelling
You're right, i never understood why clair gets so much praise, i really like dragons, but she is an awful person

my list
Kanto- Lt. Surge/ Erika
Johto- Morty/ Clair
Hoenn- Norman/ Roxanne
Sinnoh- Crasher Wake/ Maylene
Unova- Drayden/ Clay
Kalos- Grant/ Ramos
Galar- Raihan/ Opal
brief explanations
Kanto- Lt. Surge was fantastic in both the games and anime meanwhile Erika in the anime comes off very snobby and denied access because ash didn't like her perfume. PETTY also her team sucks
Johto- Morty I always loved ghost types, and I always had a hard time beating him when I was younger. Clair I just can't stand that she throws a bigger temper tantrum then Whitney and only gives you the badge when her job is threatened.
Hoenn- Norman, I like that it really feels like a rite of passage towards your battle with him its something we haven't seen before.
Roxanne, she suffers for lack of challenge and originality now people pick on Roark but at least he has headbutt and freaking stealth rock. She has nothing to make her standout from the two.
Sinnoh- Crasher Wake I love his personality and that he's a wrestler that makes him really cool its something we didn't see at the time. Maylene it's nothing personal but sinnoh had a great cast of gym leaders and she never challenged me.
Unova- Drayden is amazing and I love his gym it makes you feel that it's the big challenge. He was always hard for me and still is. Clay- while I love excadrill and Krookodile the reason he's my least favorite of unova is because of seismitoad, I know its petty but it makes him really go down in difficulty due to the quad grass weakness.
Kalos- Grant I loved that he used tyrunt and amaura It was one of the few challenges I got from kalos. His gym was also really cool. As much as I loved Ramo's gym I can't help but say for the 4th gym leader he was way too easy and why jumpluff and weepinbell There was gourgeist and trevenant begging to be used
Galar- Raihan I like how he actually uses double battle which hasn't been seen in along time, I like his personality and how he uses pokemon to compliment his team to give strategy. Opal- I'm not the biggest fan of fairy type but I HATE that if you get a question wrong your stats decrease it feels like she tampered with your team right before you battle her, i'm sorry but no just no.
In Erika's defense, it wasn't her herself that denied Ash entry to her gym, more so her gym trainers. She was still okay with battling Ash despite his thoughts on perfume. Still, she should have reprimanded those assistants of hers.

Best: Brock, because nothing is better than a jelly filled donut 🍙
Worst: Giovanni, because even though he is the master of an evil team, he is a gym leader and that doesn’t make any sense to me
PokeDan U skipped Alola
If u count the island Kahunas and stuff gym leaders
Alola does NOT have Gym Leaders, and the Island Kahunas don't count as Gym Leaders!
I agree with u, Nessa is the best gen 8 leader. Her gym puzzle was confusing and her team was actually challenging bc I picked scorebunny
If this was based on the anime then Byron would be number 1: I LOVE DEFENSE!
My favorite Gym Leader is obviously Bugsy.
I can’t stand Lenora’s Pokemon they’re just too annoying to deal with
elesa is worse
liper dinko Not really if you use an Archen
I liked fantina from sinnoh. I love her character design and her gym puzzle
An interesting fact about Kabu is that he’s from Hoenn.
I did not understand, were the worst gym leader or your less favorites ones? xD
clair will always be my all time
fav gym leader i love her personality and also dragon types are my favorite Pokémon and i love her kingdra and dragonair
also, judging norman by ruby/sapphire team but judging candice by platinum team
Hoenn psychic gym was way too hard for me because I have only 2 strong pokemons 1) Blaziken lvl 61 and 2) Tentacruel of lvl 56 bot are vulnerable to psychic
WE DO MNOT PUT AN S AT THE END OF POKEMON, THE PLURAL AND SINGULAR ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE SAME!

Kanto: fav is Blaine because I like his personality and the adventures manga helped a lot/ least fav is Erika because she is pretty bland much like was said in the video
Johto: fav is Morty because I love the ghost type and he is such a chill dude/ least fav is Whitney for the same reasons said in the video
Hoenn: fav is Flannery because of her gym and she is one of my favorite pokegirls/ least fav is Brawly because he is just kinda there and didn't really feel like a proper gym to me.
Sinnoh: fav is Candice because Abomasnow is one of my favorite pokemon and I have always loved ice puzzles/ least fav is Volkner because he was the most forgettable for me. I had to lookup his name for this comment.
Unova: fav is Skyla because she is amazingly designed and her gym puzzle involves being shot across a room with a cannon. She is my top gym leader of all time/ least fav is Elesa mostly for reasons I can't explain. Idk what it is
Kalos: fav is Clemont mostly because because of the anime. I don't really care for any of the gym leaders in Kalos he is just the one I dislike the least/ least fav is Korrina because her personality is pretty over done to me and Lucario feels so overhyped that I have grown to dislike it.
Galar: fav is Melony because ice mom enough said/ least fav is Nessa because while I genuinely enjoy every gym leader in Galar the deciding factor is the challenge itself and unlike the video I actually enjoyed Kabu's gym as someone going through a nuzlocke on their first run. Nessa's puzzle is way too easy with nothing much going on for it.
You know, despite being a long-time Pokemon fan, I never considered all that much who my favorite and least favorite Gym Leaders were until recently. Might as well list mine.
*Kanto*
As much as I want to put Koga, that's more for when he was an Elite Four member in the Johto games. Instead, I'm going with Blue, of all characters, due to the challenge of being the only Gym Leader that doesn't specialize in any one type, as well as how he's undergone some character development since the old days so that he's not as much of an arrogant douche anymore. Blaine, on the other hand, has really soured on me over time. I consider him to be the least representive of the Fire type out of all of the type's specialists. No, seriously, what the flying Farfetch'd do quiz questions and riddles have to do with fire? Shouldn't that be more of a Psychic-type thing? You know, using your brainpower? Add in the fact that you'll already have Surf when you get to him, easy access to plenty of Water-types by this point, and him having relatively no way to counteract his Pokemon's weaknesses, and you have one easy fight.
*Johto*
Alright, let's get this out of the way- Whitney is my least favorite as well, for the reasons everyone has given. My runner-up in least favorite then would have to be Falkner due to his line-up of the Pidgey line being... kinda boring. My favorite from Johto would have to be Jasmine. She set the bar high when she showed her compassion by taking care of Amphy, plus I like how she's fierce in battle but otherwise shy. Such a shame that her Gym is so empty, though.
*Hoenn*
For Hoenn, Flannery is definitely my favorite, and that mostly comes down to personality. Being relatively new and thus unsure of how she wants to present herself as a Gym Leader really sells the whole chaotic, volatile nature of the Fire type. As for my least favorite... Juan. Seriously, Wallace was fine enough as a Gym Leader. There was no point in adding Juan just to make Wallace the Champion. It makes me think that IGN actually had a point in their "too much water" quip, only that they directed it at the wrong Hoenn game.
*Sinnoh*
As much as I like how Crasher Wake had a challenging fight, especially with how I accidentally first fought him out of order in Diamond (good thing I chose Turtwig), I have to give the favorite spot here to Volkner. He really sells the Electric-type not only in his Gym design, but also in his minor storyline. Seriously... by request of the Fire guy, you have to reignite Volkner's spark. How clever is that? Originally, I had Gardenia as my least favorite, but really thinking about it, Fantina takes this spot for the sole virtue that her DP "puzzle" is just math. I mean, it's not particularly _hard_ math, but really? Is that the best you got?
*Unova*
Picking my favorite and least favorites from Unova was the hardest of the bunch, because most of them actually do their duties in helping people out (especially against Team Plasma). Funny enough, my favorite wasn't involved in any of that at all- Roxie. I love her full-on punk feel, and I will never get the Japanese version of her Gym track out of my head as long as I live. Seriously, Game Freak, please bring her back at some point. And give her a Toxtricity while you're at it! For my least favorite, I'll have to actually go with Marlon. Just like Juan before him, Marlon just feels tacked-on, and his questioning of whether we're "doing the right thing" feels insulting at the point in which he asks. It would've made more sense to have that be in Black and White as opposed to the sequels.
*Kalos*
Regrettably, due to the timing in which X and Y came out (the latter half of my university studies), Kalos is the one main region I have never gotten to experience as of yet. Not even through an LP. As a result, I don't have enough info to hold any opinion on the Kalos Gym Leaders.
*Alola*
Might as well throw this one in here. Unfortunately, I haven't finished any of the Alola games yet, though I have watched two different LP's of Ultra Moon. My favorite so far is definitely Acerola, what with her being a skilled enough trainer to be in Alola's Elite Four in the end, as well as how the abandoned Thrifty Megamart was set up so perfectly for the Ghost-type trial. Once again, though, we have the last Gym Leader- or Trial Captain, in this case- feeling tacked-on, this time with Mina. Sure, it's nice that her trial has us reflect on our journey, but that's about all the positives she has going for her. Her design doesn't scream "Fairy-type specialist" like with Valerie or Opal, and in the base Sun and Moon, she doesn't even have a trial!
*Galar*
The battle for my favorite was actually pretty fierce between Opal, Piers and Raihan, but in the end, the post-game clinched it in favor of Piers. Sure, he's stepped down from being a Gym Leader by that point, but he's the only one of the twelve different GL's between both versions to step up to face the post-game crisis in multiple towns. There's also his snarky commentary, how his gym is set up like an old-school beat-em-up sidescroller, and how he doesn't rely on Dynamax as a crutch for his team. Gordie, on the other hand, didn't stand out in a good way. His gym puzzle is a bad combination of easy to the point of brute forcing, yet somehow still annoying. Heck, the placement of where his gym is makes no sense. Why have it in an icy area? Wouldn't it make more sense geographically to be in Stow-on-Side? At least his team is made up to counter some of the type's weaknesses.
#1, why does everyone keep talking about Koga when he's NOT a Gym Leader anymore? #2, Alola does not have any Gym Leaders!
@@Amelia4111
1) By that logic, we shouldn't talk about Blue when we're talking about Champions.
2) Trial Captains, while not officially Gym Leaders, play a role analogous to that of the Gym Leaders of other regions.

@@Amelia4111 Look, if the Club Leaders of the Pokemon TCG Game Boy games can be seen as a parallel to Gym Leaders, then the same should apply to Trial Captains.

Either way, good video bro, keep up the work and maybe explain in higher detail(in the sense of why you like/dislike trainers) instead of making a few scripted or unscripted parts longer 👍
André Cota Thank you
@@Dan_Parfitt no problem, feel like I came across a bit of a twat but I didn't mean to

Worst Valerie her gym once took me two full days to reach her and i didnt want to use internet for help as it was yet another time when i was playing pokemon xy and my ego didnt let me check.
Post view edit
Normans pokemon are beasts hes the gym leader i always have to prepare for. His slaking tanks hits so you have to have fighting pokemon on your team if you dont youre doomed
And Wallace wasnt dissapointing for you his las gym leader he supposed to be op and he uses water pokemon Crasher Wake should teach him how to be one the toughest gymliders to date. This is why i love him and hate him at the same time. In that point of the game his op as hell. Too hard in my opinion.
Also Ramos seriously hes so freakin amazing oldie his warmth and peace is something that always calma me down plus once when i wasn't careful enough he actually sent me to pokecenter for underestimating him.
THE H IN JOHTO SHOULD BE BE BEFORE THE T, NOT AFTER THE T! AND YOU FORGOT GALAR!
@@Amelia4111 your right about Johto! And thats the region i started my journey i am ashamed. As for Galar Alola was enought of a mistake and galar is beyond that i do not acknowledge it at all. For me there is no more generations so far.
