I know that no items were mentioned, but I think it’s a huge missed opportunity for the gym leaders especially when previous generations would have at minimum a sitrus berry on their ace.

I love the smaller considerations, like pincurchin being found near Levincia meaning it's on Iono's team. Really well made!

I can definitely feel the struggle trying to maintain the difficulty, especially, yknow, not letting kingambit have its signature ability and come in later in the fight as a funny prank

If theres one thing i'd also add to these is the addition of Tera Blast to the leaders Terastalized ace for two reasons. It helps the earlier leaders, like Katy and Brassius, have a stronger movepool on average instead of a single weaker move, and show off Tera Blasts gimmick of changing types to match the Tera type of the user and it's 18 different animations that nobody will ever actually see in practice.

Lack of level scaling was my single biggest issue with these games (including glitches). Wish I could’ve played your version instead!

I like having some Pokemon coming in and out of these teams. It would make the fights seems just a little bit more different on repeat playthroughs. It's also a bit more thoughtful than I would expect Game Freak to be lol.

Thanks for making this video. Having no level scaling was my main gripe about these games as they severely lower the replay value. Imagine how many ways you could tackle this game if you really had to choose to start wherever you want.

Also, this video was so well made. Well edited and put together. I mainly watch you for your Pikmin vids but this was awesome👍

This would be an amazing mod, honestly. You did excellent research for this!

When the commercials and trailers talked about "go on any path in any order" I legit ran all the way to Grusha as like my first gym so Ice had a chance of not being curb stomped by a late game team.. so you saying Grusha made me feel called out lol

Like legit Grusha's cutscene involving a Cetoddle made me expect they had a dynamic system going on (ie later would have a Cetitan walk around).. but nope they just wanted to give me false hope

Anyways.. learning that Mela wasn't the intended first Star base felt so off when they showed off Katy and Klawf, both their intended path's first bosses.. but no.. Giacomo is the first...

Like Game Freak made all the paths follow an intermingled curve instead of each being their own thing.. made me feel so weird that the last two Star bases are higher than Grusha but less than Rika.. I would be less offended if they didn't try to do fake "open world" with the pendulum-like intended path... it's like they just took a normal game and threw darts and were like "okay that's where the boss fight goes"

Anyways after it was all said and done I legit left Katy until last out of spite

I didn't consider having the scaling involve all the human bosses.. that makes me even more peeved about the whole thing lol

And if Titans were involved... most of the script for them would just be "levels increased/decreased" accordingly with probably very minor moveset changes...

Btw I am surprised you didn't take into account all the rematch teams and just scale some of them back..

This video has some great editing. This quality definitely deserves more views!

Huge Power Azumarill with Aqua Tail and Play Rough is devious. Love it

32:20 haha fire lizard go BUUUUUUURN

The editing and look of video is gorgeous

Excellent editing!

This was fun to watch. Would have loved to see these ideas implemented in the actual game

I'm really happy you made a video about this

"fun" after the greatest nuzlocke torture machine possible

Double Leg sounding like a Trading Card move LOL (Love your vids btw Heff)!

WOAAAHHH ITS BACK

This is super cool. I always wondering what scaled teams would look like
