  👋Hey everyone, thanks for checking out my video! <br>☀I just wanted to clarify that the difficulty we&apos;re aiming for here is a hypothetical &quot;hard mode&quot;, something Pokemon lacks but is a feature I would love to see in the mainline games in the future. <br>💬Feel free to comment your own team ideas for the Gym Leaders, there&apos;s no one right way to do this, so be as creative as you like!

  The Kalos gyms were so strange overall. This gen definitely needs a revamp the most

  I&apos;m sure it wasn&apos;t GameFreak&apos;s intention to imply it, but Clemont having Grass Knot on his Heliolisk immediately made me think &quot;Dang, Ramos is so easy that even Clemont went to get a Plant Badge.&quot;

  It feels like when they were making X and Y, they looked at the first few gens, and were like, &quot;Oh wait, we&apos;re marketing this towards young children&quot; and then proceeded to make all the gyms a cakewalk

  I always found it weird how Korrina has such a huge focus on Lucario yet she doesn’t use hers in her gym battle.

  You didn&apos;t set aside time to brag about it in the video (humble of you) but I like that Wulfric&apos;s choice of teammates is not just mechanically good but relevant to the region setting, story, and his personal tastes as a trainer:<br>-Lapras (gift Lapras given after Korrina&apos;s gym, so must be common/traditional in Kalos)<br>-Weavile (blue and red like Wulfric&apos;s theming)<br>-Mamoswine (ride pokemon used to traverse deep snow in his area)<br>-Avalugg &amp; Mega Abomasnow (the ice dungeon in the previous town filled w/ them and featuring the latter)<br><br>All this to say, your attention to detail didn&apos;t go unnoticed. Great vid!

  Since they need to use Work Up in order to use Last Resort, that 327.6 base power move is boosted even further!

  I loved X and Y, but it was cartoonishly easy, love the idea of Pokemon games requiring at least a little skill 😂

  Watching the XY Anime then looking at the games, the Gyms leaders are really quite powerful in the Anime, Ice Beam on Surskit, and Draco Meteor on Tyrunt is insane.

  for grant, i think itd be more in line to give him an anorith instead of dwebble, as theyre basically the same pokemon thanks to similar stats and learnsets, but anorith is a fossil so it goes along with the other two<br>im not sure if you can get anorith in XY tho
