In all honesty that gym was one of the things that stuck with me most from my first runthrough since unlike basically every other pokemon battle its actually dynamic and things actually happen to put a twist on whats going on. I honestly wish there was a bit more stuff like that in the games.
Urban Right. I hope they play with the concept more. I would love to have a gym/boss battle is more heavy on Puzzle base. So you have to hit a certain opponent with a certain type of attack to progress.
Mason Peter Not when they claimed that animations were the reason for the Dex cut, also not when they already have individual parts of Pokémon as separate tags, which they can litteraly just program head butted to go “If Pokémon has two legs move the head back and forward”
@Mason Peter Yeah but ONLY those moves? Nah man. The Pokémon Company and Gamefreak need to stop rushing things for a while. They promised good animations in exchange for a cut dex but we got almost nothing instead.

Funnily enough, I had the exact opposite experience. I was getting every question right, and legit felt bad I was sweeping her team so easily. When I got to her favorite color, I wanted to let her lower my stats a bit to make it more fair. I pick purple, and I was correct. I legitimately wondered if it was impossible to get an answer wrong. Next question: How old am I? 88/16. Still determined to even the playing field, I chose 16...I was wrong.. *Yet she still gave me credit because I was nice to her.* Until I saw this video, I thought the battle was stupid easy because you couldn't get answers wrong.
Also, she helps Bede get a new purpose in life. Honestly, the guy had spent too much of his life following Rose's aspirations. At least Opal gave him a choice and gave him a reward rather than making him do things for some unknown goal.
Opal's gym (The quiz aspect) was my favorite, but she herself isn't my favorite leader. Piers is #1, Gordie takes #2 and it's a toss up between Allister and Kabu for #3
@@loopsmusic7624 I think it's because, out of all the challenges, her one is the only one that is applied to the entire gym. Milo's not making you tag team with Wild Wooloo and Kabu's not challenging you to a catch-off.

I know right? I got the battle questions wrong while using Corviknight and still swept her team using Hone Claws + Steel Wing. It felt good to call her on her bs and still destroy her team. Whitney on the other hand requires IMMEDIATE preparation the moment you pick your starter.
@@toadssugar To be fair, the favourite colour one as well as the age one are ones I fell for as well, because I took what I saw rather than thinking about context clues. That's what I meant: Not that there are no correct answers but that the correct answer doesn't appear to be that way with faeries, tricking you into striking deals with them or allowing them to take things from you that you hold dear (like important stats in this game).
The house where you deliver the mail, there’s a girl in the corner that says to not interrupt her conversation. But when you go outside to see if anyone is there, no one is there
Lol 😂 I can’t believe you got the age one wrong. No lady likes being called out for her real age. Also don’t feel bad about Drednaw, I’ve finished the game and fought it 8 times before it finally let me catch it.
Heck no. If a woman asks you about her real age and you tell her the truth, then she had it coming. Asking someone to call out your age, only to disbenefit them for telling the truth that you asked for, isn't fair at all.
Except it tells you nothing that helps you answer the quiz questions, besides the Age one - which you get penalized for answering correctly, by the way...
That and also watch whether your pokemon’s nature is beneficial to their Attack stat or Sp. Attack stat in order to see what type of moves you want them to learn.
I do like how Fairy gyms/trials have been handled. Makes me wonder what the next one will be? If they do another US based one, Ballroom. And I don't mean waltz. I mean voguing, face categories and Houses
At that time, My corviknight was pretty down on stat changes, and he died. Turns out, my team is all weak to flying, and that togekiss, air slashed my team into oblivion.
i didnt have a steel type going into my first fight (second playthrough 😂) w/opal and both my poison types went down to alcremie, so i decided to risk it and bring out my drifblim pennywise. i knew it was gonna go down… so i destiny bonded alcremie
Yeah, if you click the league cards there is an option to flip the card and if you do that there is writing other there which has a few interesting like: Kabu is from Hoean, Nessa is a model and Melony the ice type gym leader from shield is Gordie's, the rock type gym leader from sword, mom.
26:55 It was at this point that I found out Bede is a BOY this ENTIRE TIME! I'm not Kidding, I ALWAYS thought Bede was a GIRL Throughout the game until I got to this part. I had to Search it up too and Behold, Bede is a BOY this whole time! Is it a Dress? No, It's just a BIG PINK COAT!
I just imagine one of the questions is “milk or cereal first” Also you can find all the answers the questions on the league card that you get from marnie I think
lol. After that first question when you suggested that all of the answers are going to be right, I was cackling like an idiot, like "Hoooh man, you have NO IDEA what you're getting into! Have fun with those trick questions!" XD
Every other person: switch out and dynamax while the gym trainer sends out the last pokemon. Michael: waits for the gym trainer's pokemon gets out of gigantamax form and then gigantamaxes to kill
I will be honest, the questions were a bit unfair but I liked Opal since she was one of the few gym leaders who had a team that I don't have a lot of suggestions on ways to make it better. I loved the team she had since she had two poison counters, technically a steel counter with Mawile being neutral and intimidating them, and a gigantamax that could heal itself while attacking. The only thing I think I would've done is given the Togekiss Aura Sphere and Psychic (I can see why they didn't give it those moves but I would've done that to cover weaknesses).
Random Penguin bruh same exact thing for me. I trained so hard in the Wild Area that I thought I was cheating for the rest of the game. At the same time though, It is so much easier to level up Pokémon now through XP Candies, way too easy. It makes me feel disgusting...
Well, If you want to just get this over with, use Malamar with its Contrary ability. So whenever you get the question wrong, Malamar increases its stats. Just make sure it dosen't get hit by Fairy type moves...
