How to be the strongest member of the pokemon league 1- get dragonite 2- get dragonite 3- get dragonite 4- fill up your the three spaces of pokemon that aren't dragons 5- call yourself "dragon type master" 6- wear a cape
i love how most of the other gym leader music in the pokemon franchise and feels kind of upbeat and triumphant, but this music has a real sense of intensity and "oh shit, i might lose" to it. it's really unique and is definitely a huge contribution to why these are my favorite games in the series.
I think it helps that Johto has, overall, the toughest gyms in the series (in my opinion at least), so this music really fits with getting Stomped by Whitney's Miltank, or Clair's Kingdra Dragon Pulseing you to death, or Morty's Gengar putting you to sleep and then blasting your health bar to bits with Shadow Ball.
Yes, this theme actually defines a "Gym Battle" which is supposed to be very tough and intense. Even though the other themes are upbeat, they just lack the intense vibe that a Gym Leader Battle should have
@@eizneckam4936 thank you, I thought I was the only one who had trouble with Morty. I had to soft reset several times because of the Hypnosis and Shadow Ball.
True hell is not forgetting to save after catching a legendary Pokemon, nor is it spending eternity in infinite darkness. True hell is beating Whitney and your brother smacking your DS into the pool before you save
Me summarizing the comment section: - People cursing Whitney's Miltank - People being confused as to why people are cursing Whitney's Miltank because [insert other Gym Leader's Pokémon here] was harder - Is Bugsy a dude or a chick
I also noticed that in terms of music, HG/SS are the very games that invested A LOT in music. That one route that has the best route music, the sound of the character's footsteps that sound grassy when walking in grass and more, the Gym Leader music, the Champion theme, even the Team Rocket theme in these games sound so goooood. They invested a lot of music in these games.
The only thing I can address to game freak for being bad regarding the OST of HGSS is that they're overused throughout the game (example the ruins of alph OST or the red ost, which pisses me off is the lancers one too bacause going completely blind into the game I really didn't remember hearing that in the Lancer fight and I thought GF made it just for the last red bossfight.)
Oh fuck that Kingdra. That Kingdra deserves to replace Giratina as the Satan of the Pokémon world. How the fuck is it still standing after two Thunderbolts ;-;
I'm in my 30's, I'm married and I'm cleaning my house while listening to Pokémon Music. I consider that as a win... For someone who played Pokémon for years, right?
This is still the best gym leader theme. Has that sense of urgency and drama, that this is a challenge. And going back and playing GSC on Virtual console, gym battles actually used to be just that. A challenge. For me in Johto it was never Whitney, It was Clair spamming Thunder Wave and Morty spamming Shadow Ball.
Go! TOGEPI! GENGAR used HYPNOSIS! Go! JUMPLUFF! GENGAR used DREAM EATER! It didn't affect JUMPLUFF... JUMPLUFF used SLEEP POWDER! GENGAR is fast asleep... Go! TOGEPI! GENGAR is fast asleep...

Edited: Yes HG/SS has amazing soundtrack, probably as good as Gen 5, also the D/P/Pt soundtrack has grown on me A LOT (I had an issue with it's soundfont but ig views change on growing up), it's pretty solid.
It was THAT HARD for you? Nobody uses Onix, do they? Traded Bellsprout for a perfectly good one. It helped, all because Attract was in play but he stayed loyal to me. Thanks, Rocky.

This theme feels a lot more intense than other gym themes. A lot of the others give off a " you've got this!" vibe, while this one feels much more "don't get cocky now!" which fits in with leaders like Bugsy or Whitney being generally some of the hardest in the series. I fought Pryce with a team of pokemon entirely weak to ice as a kid, and I distinctly remember this theme adding to the tension
@@zinmayoo6800 I really wish I grew up in the gen 4 days but I wasn’t a thing until around the release of diamond and pearl and never cared about gaming until 2016 and didn’t start playing Pokémon untill 2019... I went back to all the ds games on my 2ds (because my new Nintendo 3ds xl got traded at GameStop for a switch...)... note, before I got my 2ds after a couple years with no 3ds I had never touched a Pokémon game other than Pokémon go... but when I got my 2ds, I played Pokémon Y, I loved that game, then I played ORAS, and had a great time with that too! Then I tried ultra sun and had a fun time as well! But then I had no games to play so I went and got a copy of Pokémon platinum, it was challenging, but it was also fun! One of the best games I’d ever played! Then I played soul silver version and that was just as good! Then I played white version 2 and it was amazing as well! But the time that all these games were the latest in the series had been long gone as I started playing in 2019... over that year I learned almost everything there is to know about Pokémon, the only games I haven’t played have been the original ruby, sapphire, and emerald... and fire red or leaf green... because I didn’t really want to play the original gen 1 on virtual console... the only thing keeping me from finishing every game besides the 2 that I don’t want to play is the fact that I don’t own and have never owned a GBA... my uncle has one but it broke lol... the only games I haven’t played besides gen 1 and 2 that are available to me are the original black/white and the original sun/moon... like I said, I learned so much playing gens 4-7! Then I open up Pokémon sword and it just didn’t feel the same... too easy, not many of my favorites were in the game besides mew (shaymin, Miltank [though this did get added later on], deerling, and more)... the online didn’t feel the same, the game just looked unfinished... not to mention I couldn’t pet my Pokémon, and that my favorite game mechanic ever mega evolution wasn’t in the game but instead this dumb dynamax thing...
Falkner: Neat design but pretty forgettable Bugsy: That unblinking stare haunts me Whitney: *PTSD intensifies* Morty: You're cool but why don't you have a Misdreavus? Chuck: I got nothing clever I just like him Jasmine: My favorite gym leader from this region Pryce: Does anyone remember him? Clair: The sore loser that got me a Dratini with Extremespeed Will: Is that a genderbent Lorelei? Koga: Oh hey you got an upgrade. Bruno: Good to see you again but why don't you have a Heracross? Karen: I only remember you because you're team was monstrous.
Come on, Falkner is a good kid, his arguments with Janine about whos dad is cooler are adorable. Price calls you to tell you about randon little things that happened to him like you're his grandchilds, which is very sweet. Karen has one of the most iconic lines in the franchise (and she's hot as hell)
one gym leader i never hear about is Morty, everyone talks about clair and whitney, but not Morty that Gengar is the stuff of nightmares, especially in Heart Gold and Soul Silver
gengar doesn't know dream eater. It has shadow ball, hypnosis, sucker punch and mean lock. Which means you can simply wait until you wake up while using a status move so that sucker punch will fail. The only pokemon with the hypnosis + dream eater combo is haunter and kenya is faster after evolving to fearow. Aaand ... gengar has 110 base speed xp
***** Oh, really? My bad, then. In GSC, it does have Hypnosis and Dream Eater. And since it's faster than almost anything you can get at that point and that stupid Hypnosis never misses, that was such a tough battle back then.
Yeah, the fight actually became easier in Gen4. Especially if you have insomnia!noctowl. It is immune to anything they can throw at you except sucker punch which is physical, fails if you don't attack and only has 5 pp. it makes the whole gym so free, lol xD
Morty in a Nutshell: Gengar Used Hypnosis! Gengar Used Dream Eater! Gengar Used Hypnosis! Gengar Used Dream Eater! Gengar Used Hypnosis! Gengar Used Dream Eater! Gengar Used Hypnosis! Gengar Used Dream Eater! Gengar Used Hypnosis! Gengar Used Dream Eater! Gengar Used Hypnosis! Gengar Used Dream Eater! GOLD is out of useable POKéMON Gold Blacked out!
That's a thing I've never liked about the Johto gym leaders. Too much Kanto rep, and not enough Johto rep. For real, the Ghost type gym leader doesn't even have a Misdreavus.
@@rhadamanthys649 It's because the Johto pokedex is extremely lackluster, a good number of Pokemon in that region are so weak they aren't worth being gym materials, good thing gen 4 fixes that issue when they added new evos to Johto mons.
@@rhadamanthys649 in HGSS, almost all of Johto mons are obtainable before post-game via Safari Zone. For Slugma, just code in the words on the guy in Violet City to get that, but also Mareep and Wooper

This is like, totally fun! Morty: ...hey. I...Like Ghosts...I guess. Chuck: UUUUUUUHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHH BROTHAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!! FALCON PAAAAWWWNNCHH!!! Jasmine: Oh? you want to challenge me to a Pokemon Battle? I thought you'd never ask...oh wait...Ampharos is sick...NVM. Price: ... ...Damn Kids... Clair: So you think you can beat ME? Bitch please, I'm the best dragon train- (*Lance walks in*) -s... Yeah! I like trains! ...that was a close one.

Will: ...I need a hug because I'm getting scared... Bruno: CUT IT OUT YOU TWO!! I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE!!

No one should say "oml" like that because it is blasphemous, and enstranges us further from God, who loves us. It's a small thing but it's so easy to stop doing, seek Jesus and repent, because He gives all the things that you can't buy or fake that the world will tell you can be found anywhere else, like a purpose, a future, and peace of mind... sacrifice is the ultimate form of love, what does this world sacrifice for you? God sent His only begotten Son so that you might be saved. Christianity isn't an "us" and "them" thing, you can go to heaven too! Just seek earnestly seek Jesus, prayer is a good way to start
"her miltank wasn't that hard" he said with his traded Rampardos, Dusknoir and Scizor. Edit: its not hard, especially if you manage to get a geodude to KO some mons with atk and hp effort values but damn people overplay this, BF is much more harder
Falkner: Kung-foo student. Bugsy: Greenpeace member. Whitney: Leader of the high school cheerleaders. Morty: Fortune-teller. Chuck: Bruno's clone. Jasmine: Vunerable to predators girl. Pryce: Depressed old man. Clair: College teacher.
Johto gym leaders were tough. Falkner's Pidgeotto crushed my team twice. Bugsy's Scyther almost killed my team. Whitney's Miltank was taken down by Machop, fortunately for me. Morty's Haunter took down most of my team, the Mean Look + Hypnosis + Dream Eater is a nasty combo. And Clair, she was by far, the worst. I ran out of all my healing items, there was about 20 bottles of Fresh Water and I had to use all of them. Kingdra was hard as hell. Speaking of the Elite Four, only two of my pokemon survived Karen's Houndoom. I stood no chance against Lance.
Falknor: Come with me beyond the skies! Bugsy: What's up? Ready to catch some bug Pokemon? Winey: Oh! I have visitors! Morty: Just chillin' Chuck: GWAHAHAHA! Do you really think YOU can beat ME?! Jasmine: So you came to fight with me? Price: Come now young one. This is a battle between generations. Clair: I hope you are ready trainer. Beating me won't be easy.
1: underleveled 2: easy if you picked the fire starter 3: overestimated brat 4: My nightmare that dreads upon me every playthrough 5: it stares into your soul 6: the e girl that everyone simps for 7: oh hey is that an ambulance? 8: torcher (on my 1st playthrough of gold Clair was so hard for me)
I had more trouble wih Satan than Also Satan, probably because I gambled for 2 weeks straight for a Dratini that had evolved into Dragonite by the time I reached Blackthorn.
Or hyper potion. Pokemon rarelly get over 200 PV even when at the league. Except if you grind excessively or in that case you won't need to spam them. Plus it is ways more efficient to let it faint since they lose the status effect anyways.
To this day, 25 years and still playing pokemon, this remains at 1st as my all time favorite battle them in all the games. 2nd being red battle at the end of johto and cynthia theme. All these songs are if you first started fighting them is to test your skills.
Falkner: easy Bugsy: easy Whitney: THAT MILKTANK Morty: uhhhhh Chuck: for real Jasmine: my favorite gym leader Pryce: if only I had Meganiam Clair: hmmmmmmm that kingdra elite four: ehh
Just like Sinnoh, these gym leaders were all difficult to some degree. Except Pryce. He was easy, lol. But on the other seven, at some point in my life with those games I’d struggle.
you know, this kingdra .... has an integrated crit button. Whenever I try to stall it out of Hydro Pump PP (which is SUPPOSED to work as the move only has 5 pp) 2 things happen. 1. it hits 5 out of 5 times which is not a big deal. X Special Defend FTW 2. it criticals with the last one effectively screwing up my increased special defense and my entire strategy. This happens like 7 out of 10 times. xD
Pokemon games wouldn't have been nearly as memorable if they didn't have such fantastic songs. Just listening to them makes me want to play the games! They really make your imagination go wild.
These are some of my favorite gym leaders because they actually made me strategize instead of spamming super affective moves, for example I thought I was gonna sweep bugsy with my on level quilava but her scyther did an insane amount of damage towards my quilava with quick attack, like half, so I switched to my gastly which was immune to quick attack and killed it with that. I know that isn’t the most genius example but it perfectly shows off what I’m trying to say
7 gens later and this gym leader theme still hasn't been topped imo. I always like the dire and frantic feeling the johto gym theme gives. Its like a huge question on if you can even defeat the gym leader or fail miserably.

this is by far the most badass gym theme of all time
If we combine all four...
Is Bugsy's badass theme Whitney or harder than Whitney?
This theme feels a lot more intense than other gym themes. A lot of the others give off a " you've got this!" vibe, while this one feels much more "don't get cocky now!" which fits in with leaders like Bugsy or Whitney being generally some of the hardest in the series.

Then I tried ultra sun and had a fun time as well! But then I had no games to play so I went and got a copy of Pokémon platinum, it was challenging, but it was also fun! One of the best games I’d ever played! Then I played soul silver version and that was just as good! Then I played white version 2 and it was amazing as well! But the time that all these games were the latest in the series had been long gone as I started playing in 2019... over that year I learned almost everything there is to know about Pokémon, the only games I haven’t played have been the original ruby, sapphire, and emerald... and fire red or leaf green... because I didn’t really want to play the original gen 1 on virtual console... the only thing keeping me from finishing every game besides the 2 that I don’t want to play is the fact that I don’t own and have never owned a GBA... my uncle has one but it broke lol... the only games I haven’t played besides gen 1 and 2 that are available to me are the original black/white and the original sun/moon... like I said, I learned so much playing gens 4-7! Then I open up Pokémon sword and it just didn’t feel the same... too easy, not many of my favorites were in the game besides mew (shaymin, Miltank [though this did get added later on], deerling, and more)... the online didn’t feel the same, the game just looked unfinished... not to mention I couldn’t pet my Pokémon, and that my favorite game mechanic ever mega evolution wasn’t in the game but instead this dumb dynamax thing...

Not just Miltank. Kingdra too.

What you hear at the start of the gym battle is the "xylophone of death"
666 likes noice
Falkner: Neat design but pretty forgettable
Bugsy: That unblinking stare haunts me
Whitney: *PTSD intensifies*
Morty: You're cool but why don't you have a Misdreavus?
Chuck: I got nothing clever I just like him
Jasmine: My favorite gym leader from this region
Pryce: Does anyone remember him?
Clair: The sore loser that got me a Dratini with Extremespeed
Will: Is that a genderbent Lorelei?
Koga: Oh hey you got an upgrade.
Bruno: Good to see you again but why don't you have a Heracross?
Karen: I only remember you because you're team was monstrous.
I remember Karen because of her iconic line.
Finally I'm not the only one who got impressed at seeing Koga getting an upgrade and his daughter running the gym.
@@akurokushifangirl3519 I forgot she had that line for the longest time, but yeah it's so good.
Ah right, GSC had the OG Karen
Come on, Falkner is a good kid, his arguments with Janine about whos dad is cooler are adorable. Price calls you to tell you about randon little things that happened to him like you're his grandchilds, which is very sweet. Karen has one of the most iconic lines in the franchise (and she's hot as hell)
I just love Johto's music. Its so fast paced and glorious - gets you pumped
Behold! THE POWER OF BIRD TYPE POKEMON
i know that reference.
Easy
Bird is a type.... I Agree with Falkner, and Winona, and all the others who call them "Bird Pokemon"
One shots Pidgey
I ruined the 69 likes, now they're 70
This brings me back _ages_ ago when I first got into Pokémon. I needed this. Thanks for the nostalgia!
one gym leader i never hear about is Morty, everyone talks about clair and whitney, but not Morty
that Gengar is the stuff of nightmares, especially in Heart Gold and Soul Silver
just fuckle him with kenya. xD
110 base speed + 100% accuracy Hypnosis + Dream Eater
gengar doesn't know dream eater. It has shadow ball, hypnosis, sucker punch and mean lock. Which means you can simply wait until you wake up while using a status move so that sucker punch will fail.
The only pokemon with the hypnosis + dream eater combo is haunter and kenya is faster after evolving to fearow.
Aaand ... gengar has 110 base speed xp
***** Oh, really? My bad, then. In GSC, it does have Hypnosis and Dream Eater. And since it's faster than almost anything you can get at that point and that stupid Hypnosis never misses, that was such a tough battle back then.
Yeah, the fight actually became easier in Gen4. Especially if you have insomnia!noctowl. It is immune to anything they can throw at you except sucker punch which is physical, fails if you don't attack and only has 5 pp. it makes the whole gym so free, lol xD
Morty in a Nutshell:
Gengar Used Hypnosis!
Gengar Used Dream Eater!
Gengar Used Hypnosis!
Gengar Used Dream Eater!
Gengar Used Hypnosis!
Gengar Used Dream Eater!
Gengar Used Hypnosis!
Gengar Used Dream Eater!
Gengar Used Hypnosis!
Gengar Used Dream Eater!
Gengar Used Hypnosis!
Gengar Used Dream Eater!
GOLD is out of useable POKéMON
Gold Blacked out!
That sums it up
Gold sends in dellibird
Gengar uses hypnosis
It doesn't affect dellibird
I remember his Gengar using Mean Look at my Noctowl, and we can't hit each other for eternity.
That sums up my experience with him
@@ammagon4519 BAHAHAHHA
It's all fun and games...
*_Until the third gym._*
Edit: yall it's a joke 💀
Or the Fourth, The Fourth was the hard one for me
@@kirbyfazendoummoonwalk9214 just get Kenya from golden rod and keep assurance
You mean 8th gym?? Whitney is easy, my Exeggcute took care of Miltank with Hypnosis and Leech Seed as well as Reflect.
@@kirbyfazendoummoonwalk9214 me too idk why everyone had trouble with whitney i had more trouble with morty
Gen 8:
haha giant pokemon go brrrr
Who knew the Persona 3 protagonist faked his death to become a Flying type Gym Leader?
Zenith Tempest yes
Zenith Tempest You know Persona too yay!
Zenith Tempest so true
Didn’t see that one coming.
@@sweep_swoop You never saw it cooooming!
the most intimidating theme, the most HARDEST gym leaders of ALL time and this brings back memories
How to become a johto gym leader:
1. Make sure most of your team is made up of kanto mons
How 2 Johto Gym Leader:
Step 1: get a couple of mons
Step 2: be overleveled as fuck
Step 3: get all the decent-leveled trainers inside your gym
That's a thing I've never liked about the Johto gym leaders. Too much Kanto rep, and not enough Johto rep. For real, the Ghost type gym leader doesn't even have a Misdreavus.
@@rhadamanthys649 It's because the Johto pokedex is extremely lackluster, a good number of Pokemon in that region are so weak they aren't worth being gym materials, good thing gen 4 fixes that issue when they added new evos to Johto mons.
@@ultimatevtgb7551 Yes, but it's also too bad that those said evolutions are, for the good majority of them, locked behind the postgame.
@@rhadamanthys649 in HGSS, almost all of Johto mons are obtainable before post-game via Safari Zone. For Slugma, just code in the words on the guy in Violet City to get that, but also Mareep and Wooper
If I could get a dollar for every time someone says "Whitney" or "Miltank" I would be rich
if you had a *penny* for each of those times you'd still be rich lol
If you had to face her as a poor child, you would be scarred.
i am indeed scarred
Richest in the world
If you'd have nothing for every---
wait.
Falkner: (*Uses the Force*) These are not the drones you're looking for...
Bugsy: 0u0
Whitney: CAUSING YOUR ETERNAL SUFFERING PLEASES ME GREATLY MORTAL...
(*Randomly skips*)
teehehee! OMG! This is like, totally fun!
Morty: ...hey. I...Like Ghosts...I guess.
Chuck: UUUUUUUHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHH BROTHAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!! FALCON PAAAAWWWNNCHH!!!
Jasmine: Oh? you want to challenge me to a Pokemon Battle? I thought you'd never ask...oh wait...Ampharos is sick...NVM.
Price: ...
...Damn Kids...
Clair: So you think you can beat ME? Bitch please, I'm the best dragon train-
(*Lance walks in*)

...that was a close one.
Will: Why are you poking me in the head Koga!?
Koga: (*Poke*) I'm a Fire Bender, Bitch!
Karen: Guys... we're getting our photo taken, try to look at least DECENT.
Will: ...I need a hug because I'm getting scared...
Bruno: CUT IT OUT YOU TWO!! I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE!!
Karen: OK, fine! you three can just keep goofing off if that's what you want, but I'm just going to look good for the camera.

Muscle When on Gym 3: Uno Reverse Card!
Getting 100% in this game makes you feel like you have truly completed your journey.
0:50 is such a bop oml I could listen to that on repeat
you can by right clicking the video and toggling loop on
The original is even better for this part.
No one should say "oml" like that because it is blasphemous, and enstranges us further from God, who loves us. It's a small thing but it's so easy to stop doing, seek Jesus and repent, because He gives all the things that you can't buy or fake that the world will tell you can be found anywhere else, like a purpose, a future, and peace of mind... sacrifice is the ultimate form of love, what does this world sacrifice for you? God sent His only begotten Son so that you might be saved. Christianity isn't an "us" and "them" thing, you can go to heaven too! Just seek earnestly seek Jesus, prayer is a good way to start
@@AquaTomMovies omfg shut up
"her miltank wasn't that hard"
he said with his traded Rampardos, Dusknoir and Scizor.
Edit: its not hard, especially if you manage to get a geodude to KO some mons with atk and hp effort values but damn people overplay this, BF is much more harder
And i am saying this with my female onyx
And I'm saying that with my traded Machop
@@TheStillChillMimikyuOfficial you traded from an npc or from an actual player?
@@RandomUploads1012 Non Player Character.
I say that with my team of female Pokemon.
I honestly love the fusion of music of gen 4 and gen 5 in the HGSS games. Those violins and those guitars, I wish the newer games had that quality.
I do like how much harder Morty is in Gen 4 compared to Gen 2 since Gengar can actually USE Shadow Ball now
All these years, I thought Bugsy is a girl...
+Moarice LOL ME TOO!!:)))
same here
I swear, Bugsy is a man.
lol same
whait WHAT
Falkner in hgss: FEAR MY PIDGEY
falkner in bw2: wanna meet my lugia?
Am I the only person who think jasmine is cute.
Me too*-*
Jasmine is indeed pretty cute
Rexko old or new cuz new Jasmine looks like some psychopath or something
Old one is cute tho
Rexko Nope I love her
0:25 Bugsy is cute, but in this picture he looks soulless-
Falkner: Kung-foo student.
Bugsy: Greenpeace member.
Whitney: Leader of the high school cheerleaders.
Morty: Fortune-teller.
Chuck: Bruno's clone.
Jasmine: Vunerable to predators girl.
Pryce: Depressed old man.
Clair: College teacher.
Johto gym leaders were tough. Falkner's Pidgeotto crushed my team twice. Bugsy's Scyther almost killed my team. Whitney's Miltank was taken down by Machop, fortunately for me. Morty's Haunter took down most of my team, the Mean Look + Hypnosis + Dream Eater is a nasty combo.
And Clair, she was by far, the worst. I ran out of all my healing items, there was about 20 bottles of Fresh Water and I had to use all of them. Kingdra was hard as hell.
Speaking of the Elite Four, only two of my pokemon survived Karen's Houndoom. I stood no chance against Lance.
mean look is just meh but the hypnosis + dream eater is a very annoying combo if your opponent spams it
Falknor: Come with me beyond the skies!
Bugsy: What's up? Ready to catch some bug Pokemon?
Winey: Oh! I have visitors!
Morty: Just chillin'
Chuck: GWAHAHAHA! Do you really think YOU can beat ME?!
Jasmine: So you came to fight with me?
Price: Come now young one. This is a battle between generations.
Clair: I hope you are ready trainer. Beating me won't be easy.
Morty's just chillin'. And then gets destroyed by me.
Its funny how you called Whitney Winey even though it would be pronounced Whiney because she cry's more than babies do XD
Pryce=Boomer
1: underleveled
2: easy if you picked the fire starter
3: overestimated brat
4: My nightmare that dreads upon me every playthrough
5: it stares into your soul
6: the e girl that everyone simps for
7: oh hey is that an ambulance?
8: torcher (on my 1st playthrough of gold Clair was so hard for me)
0:32 There's literally no reason why that magnifying glass isn't falling out of its holster on the bag
deffdefying Wow, never noticed that.
the sound of typhlosion using flamethrower and lugia using extrasensory is real on this one
1:32 Daaamn bro he's carrying 4 plates with one arm like it's groceries lmfao
Ah yes, the Johto Gym Leaders:
Falkner
Bugsy
*SATAN*
Morty
Chuck
Jasmine
Pryce
*ALSO SATAN*
Gym leader ALSO SATAN would like to battle!
Whiterblue no u
@@ryanamburgy2791 yes me
Clair is the last gym leader tho so it makes sense to her to be challenging but Whitney is just bullshit
I had more trouble wih Satan than Also Satan, probably because I gambled for 2 weeks straight for a Dratini that had evolved into Dragonite by the time I reached Blackthorn.
"you can't be the pokemon champion without knowing how to SPAM FULL RESTORES!!!"
Wrath _Online ah, a fellow Pikasprey watcher.
For fucks sake will people ever shut up about that single quote
Or hyper potion. Pokemon rarelly get over 200 PV even when at the league. Except if you grind excessively or in that case you won't need to spam them. Plus it is ways more efficient to let it faint since they lose the status effect anyways.
Shut the fuck up, Wilson, you utter gombeen. Those references aren't even funny.
Fucking pokemon golder
90%: Whitney
10%: Other things...
More like:
99% Whitney
1% other things
Played HGSS for the first time now and beat the champ. This theme was stuck in my head the most.
We're probably a very long way from it but hopefully this remake will get another remake 😂 I would love to see the Johto region get some love again.
Whitney’s Miltank
Making nuzlockers cry since... whenever Gold and Silver were released.
1999
Love it how the music seems to hit harder than any of these gym leaders.
bro💀
Whitney deserves her own song, something like Cynthia’s theme, or atleast a change in music when that horrid Miltank comes out.
dude stop overrating her difficulty you know t heres the thing called "fighting type"
@@JoetadXD and fury cutter
low key one of the best rpg battle themes ever composed
*Sees Whitney*
#Curls into a ball in the corner*
Surge's gym puzzle is harder than Whitney battle I beat her miltank first try
Lol so true, dang nab RNG.
That person is a youtube commenter that commented on you comment.
*Whitney sees you*
Her Miltank curls into a ball and Rollout on you
Surge's gym puzzle was way easier than whitney tho :P
I love how the cool part kicks in at 0:43.
Just so happens to be when Whitney shows up.
Lol
ever realized how bugsy stares you in the soul in that artwork
To this day, 25 years and still playing pokemon, this remains at 1st as my all time favorite battle them in all the games. 2nd being red battle at the end of johto and cynthia theme.
All these songs are if you first started fighting them is to test your skills.
Falkner: easy
Bugsy: easy
Whitney: THAT MILKTANK
Morty: uhhhhh
Chuck: for real
Jasmine: my favorite gym leader
Pryce: if only I had Meganiam
Clair: hmmmmmmm that kingdra
elite four: ehh
Brandon Moore Jasmine is also one of my favorite gym leaders. RIGHT next to Flannery and Valerie. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Lance: NOT _ANOTHER_ GODDAMN FUCKING DRAGONITE
Bugsy is not easy
Jasmine is my fave gym leader too lol
@@flowtyle Yes he is lmao
0:42 your worst nightmare
My worst nightmare is kingdra miltank is easier than youngster joey's rattata
hey don’t say that about my best friend, she has emotions y’know
2:23 My REAL worst nightmare
Krossbone Gaming who clair
Firegymleader 8 Yes
En mi opinión... El mejor Tema de líder de Gimnacio de toda la franquicia
Whitney: Prepare for trouble
Miltank: And make it double
Arguably the best gym leader theme out of every current gen
Just like Sinnoh, these gym leaders were all difficult to some degree. Except Pryce. He was easy, lol. But on the other seven, at some point in my life with those games I’d struggle.
2:23 you're gonna have a bad time..... fucking Kingdra
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😩😩😩😩😩😩
you know, this kingdra .... has an integrated crit button.
Whenever I try to stall it out of Hydro Pump PP (which is SUPPOSED to work as the move only has 5 pp) 2 things happen.
1. it hits 5 out of 5 times which is not a big deal. X Special Defend FTW
2. it criticals with the last one effectively screwing up my increased special defense and my entire strategy.
This happens like 7 out of 10 times. xD
Kingdra? JINX!!!! :'(
kingdra is not a problem but miltank it is problem to me
Yeah with the combo of attract and rollout,it so difficult
Nothing would physche you up more than this theme as a kid
Johto was The brightest Region
And it was my first gen, it was my favorite, it is my favorite, and it will be my favorite no matter how many generations come and go
Sushant Sinha, The same thing happened with my life as well
Well Whitney ruined it xd
Gen 2 is awesome my friend got me a card one Christmas it was for pokemon sliver played though it and I loved everything about it
The music that played when Whitney showed up.Perfect.
0:44 has flashbacks
Pokemon games wouldn't have been nearly as memorable if they didn't have such fantastic songs. Just listening to them makes me want to play the games! They really make your imagination go wild.
Morty is cool.
Difficult, but cool.
1:07 that part always reminds me of your Pokémon is about to faint 😭
I am convinced that if Whitney wasn't a Gym Leader, then the other Gym Leaders would just have the Trainer Battle theme.
Except Claire that kingdra is crazy
These are some of my favorite gym leaders because they actually made me strategize instead of spamming super affective moves, for example I thought I was gonna sweep bugsy with my on level quilava but her scyther did an insane amount of damage towards my quilava with quick attack, like half, so I switched to my gastly which was immune to quick attack and killed it with that. I know that isn’t the most genius example but it perfectly shows off what I’m trying to say
morty looks dank
Dank
420
Blaze it
weeeeeeeeeeeddddd
Morty:GENGAR HYPNOSE
I:Wake Up quilava!!!
Morty: I kill you, hahaaha!! Gengar, Dream Eater
I: Nooooooooooo
Arguably Peak Pokemon.
This was the first pokemon game i ever got, playing again i appreciate the music way more
As a kid I loved HGSS cuz it was like the show cuz you couldn't just steamroll thru the gyms like other games and you actually struggled and lost.
I always liked Will, he pulled off the more mysterious and fancy vibe better then others.
fr
This is the theme I think of when I think of Johto.
Feels intense, like a pokemon battle of that caliber should be.
7 gens later and this gym leader theme still hasn't been topped imo.
I always like the dire and frantic feeling the johto gym theme gives. Its like a huge question on if you can even defeat the gym leader or fail miserably.
