This is in the Pokemon Origin OVA because it's a feature in Pokemon X and Y

It all makes sense now.

Too bad it was never implemented in the games (for ex. if you did koga after sabrina in LG/FR the levels would still be the same) correctly.

This.
I have been saying this forever.

And now I'm happy that it's at least simi-canon

Each Gym leader are roughly equal in strength

For real? It isn't linear anymore?

Damn, this also explains how in the anime, Ash had trouble with every gym leader even though he was challenging them out of order.

It makes the most sense.

Otherwise you have shit like in the original G/S where Falkner being considered one of the '8 MUST BEAT TRAINERS IN THE COUNTRY' despite only owning a level 7 Pidgey and a level 9 Pidgeotto.

It's a really early interview when they had originally unveiled the region map. The question was something like "Will you have to traverse this map in a linear fashion like all the other games?" and Matsuda said something like "Does this map look linear to you?"
I can't find it exactly, because it's fairly old, but it was one of the original selling points

I think this was more or less confirmed in G/S/C when you went to Kanto, and Brock had level 40-50 pokemon -- and again later, when they let you re-battle gym leaders in the games and they busted out 6-poke teams of 60-70 level pokemon.

But nice to see them confirming it in as many ways a possible, anyways.

This still wouldnt make sense, as surely they'd have to go 'easy' on you even with the lower level pokemon as they'd have more experience when it comes to battling.

ie.
>Brock against a advanced trainer
>Can use level 40s etc.
>can fight to his maximum

>Brock against a newbie
>Uses onyx and geodude.
>New trainer has only just started, but Brock is used to fighting people who are level 40..he has experience and such even with low level pokemon so he just.. goes easy?..

Basically, he's like a master with a stone.. he can use the stone better than the newbies.

That's correct. Gym leaders aren't your rivals, what they do is to check if you are a skillful trainer. It's more akin to a test.

It's your job to lose as a gym leader, or atleast give them an honest chance to win.

Your job is not to lose, but to gauge trainers' skills. If you see the trainer is not really skillful or isn't up to what he should know, then you have the right to destroy him.

And that's how I got my first badge. Off to face Leader Pryce now, but I hear he's only got a pair of Smoochum's and a weak Delibird so I think I can take him.

But I've heard a rumour that there's a gym leader out there called Falkner who has a real life Zapdos! Is that true? How the fuck am I supposed to beat that?

Fuck that would be awesome, imagine if you could select your hometown, it would take alot of tweaking to adjust the routes and the gym progression, and its probably superimpractical to make a reality, but want regardless.

It's kind of doable, but would require a lot of balancing, and careful design so that one route isn't clearly better than the rest.

Doing every town would be too much, but doing something with four towns could work.

It would be easiest with Kanto.
> West = Pallet Town
> East = Lavender Town
> North = Expand area around Bill's house into a town
> South = Add an island with boat travel below Fuchsia City.

The hardest part of course is making sure that starting from one place doesn't give a huge advantage over starting from others.

In original Red/Blue after beating misty I'm pretty sure gyms 3-7 (depending on the order you took them) all had the same level pokemon aside from Blaine having a high level rapidash

Way to not remember when Ash first battles Brock, in the orignal ones not origins, he asks how many pokemon he has..or which ones hes using or something. He does it so he can determine which ones he wants to use

the only thing I was was different about gym battles is no recovery items being allowed, its just a pointless turn
also if they scaled the number of their party to be with yours.
if you have 2 pokemon they use 2, if you have 6 they use 6

they are meant to be bosses after all
