35 Facts About EVERY Pokémon Evil Team Leader and Admin

[Music] in every Pokemon game there are always a group of sinister thugs led by some kind of criminal mastermind that attempt a various assortment of world-dominating or destroying schemes evil teams are the way that pokemon have done their villains since the beginning and every evil team has a leader and a set of admins that well lead the way and as a part of my facts on every insert pokemon or character here series we're going to be looking at facts about every evil team leader and admin from the main series Pokemon games in today's video so with that said why don't we just get to it starting of course in Kanto with the og Team Rocket two of Giovanni's Pokemon on his final team that you face when challenging the Viridian City Gym in many of the games but red and blue particularly are Nitto King and nidoqueen with that said it's noteworthy that in red and blue the only place that you can catch their pre evolutions Nidoran male and female outside of the safari zone is route 22 which is right outside of Viridian city meaning that their placement in this route could possibly be an intentional reference to Giovanni's team or a sign of things to come later in the game since it's one of the very first areas that you get to explore in the game Archer as well as the rest of Team Rocket's admins get their names from things relating to rockets or other space related things now coming from Team Rocket this makes all the sense in the world but given that all of the Team Rocket admins received their unique identities and names and Jen for this is very fitting and likely intentional given that the evil team of the Gen 4 base games Diamond and Pearl are heavily associated with all things space-related ariana is one of the Team Rocket admins that had the honour of having her design be based on one of the original Team Rocket executive sprites from generation 2 in this case the female one however in the gen 2 games there is a slight oversight with the Team Rocket admins specifically as when you battled the music that is played is the generic trainer battle theme as opposed to the rocket battle theme that is used for the grunts and other members of the team [Music] petrol is a character who debuted in HeartGold and SoulSilver since the rocket admins in Gen 2 didn't have unique identities as a part of this petrels character is the combination of two different admins in gold silver and crystal and this combination of characters actually introduces a plot hole in HeartGold and SoulSilver since his design combines one of the admins that you face at the rocket headquarters and the one who disguises himself as the director of the goldenrod radio tower he appears first at the Team Rocket HQ when he also at the exact same time should be in the radio tower preparing for the takeover from the inside that would happen directly after you finish going through the headquarters as I mentioned with petrol an interesting thing about Team Rocket's admins is that none of them had unique identities or appearances in the original gen 2 games proton just like petrol was designed from scratch by combining two characters in gold silver and crystal a rocket grunt that you face at slowpoke well and a generic executive that you faced at the golden rod radio tower both of these characters only have one Pokemon each a coughing and a golbat respectively which is why proton uses both of them on his team in HeartGold and SoulSilver a very nice yet subtle detail involving Maxie comes from believe it or not ultra Sun and ultra moon an obvious interest in detail about Maxie and Archie in these games is that they use their original designs not their remake designs but something that flies under the radar is that his camerupt is not holding its mega stone during your battle with him either while this might not seem to be important the fact that life Sanders Gyarados is holding its mega stone in the same games suggests that this is a detail that contributes to the fact that this version of Maxie is from a world without mega evolution hence his original design and is a very nice attention to detail at that despite Pokemon emerald combining the plots and the of the evil teams from Ruby and Sapphire Courtney is the only admin or leader of either team who cannot be battled at all in this game tabitha debuted into the anime in the episode a three-team scheme however he was mistakenly given the wrong name of field commander Harlan in this episode from this point on though his name was corrected to tabitha in all future appearances a super coincidental yet cool fact about Archie is that of all of the hoenn based games where he serves as an antagonist their initials in chronological order of the game's release spell out the word cease consisting of sapphire emerald and alpha sapphire which is clearly very fitting for everything that Archie stands for fittingly the same thing that happened to Tabitha also happened to Shelley as her anime debut also took place in the a three-team scheme episode and she was also given the wrong name of tactical commander Isabelle in this episode but like Tabitha her name was also fixed in all future appearances when it comes to Matt the last battle that you face him in and alpha sapphire is a double battle with a grunt alongside him where their pokemon consists of a Sharpedo muck and mighty anna meanwhile in the same exact games the first battle with the other team aqua admin shelly is the exact same thing a double battle with a grunt alongside her with their pokemon consisting of a Mightyena muck and Sharpedo although in this case they have a Grimer and carvanha instead as it is an earlier point in the game Cyrus was the very first evil team leader to have their age confirmed when looker mentions in Pokemon platinum in Vale stone city that he is 27 interestingly it seems like your late 20s is the time to try and take over the world in Pokemon as Tabitha of Team Magma is also stated to be 27 Mars is the first team galactic admin that you come across in diamond pearl and platinum followed by Jupiter and this is likely intentional as not only does that represent the order of the planets that they are named after but Mars being encountered first is the planet closest to the Sun while Saturn encountered last is the planet farthest from the Sun amongst those who share a name with a Team Galactic admin Jupiter had a name change in the Spanish versions of the Gen 4 games being called Sarris they're likely because Jupiter is the name of a male Roman god this creates an ironic scenario for Jupiter as well as Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system while Sarris a dwarf planet is the smallest of the five dwarf planets that are currently known in Pokemon platinum every single Pokemon that saturn as well as the rest of the galactic admins use that have a specified gender is interestingly enough female similar to the fact about Mars another very possibly intentional fact involving Sharan is that in pokemon platinum he is the only admin that you don't battle and the number of times you battle each admin correlates to their namesakes distance from the Sun Mars is the closest and battled the most at four times Jupiter is next in distance and battled three times and Saturn is after that embattled two times Charen being named after one of Pluto's moons is even farther away from the Sun and as such isn't battled at all if you take a look at ends design you'll notice that he has a Rubik's Cube like object hanging from his belt well based on the presence of some concept art that was reserved specifically for this cube along with its accompanying notes that discussed the solving of the puzzle that would supposedly reveal an inner cube with a keyhole upon its solving suggests that this cube was actually going to be a part of black and whites plot at one point in development introduced in the middle of Gen 5 in black and white to chorus was most likely intended by gamefreak to be a hint of things to come since as he puts it the theme of my research is bringing out the power of Poe is it possible to bring out their maximum power through the bomb they share with their trainers or is there some other different method this perfectly describes the concept of mega evolution that would feature an x and y which released just a little over a year after black and white - leading to the idea that this was in fact some intentional foreshadowing a cool part of gets is's character is that his high dragon in black and white has a move that is super effective to all of ends Pokemon on his final team showing his plan for betrayal from the very beginning furthermore gets us as high dragon is the only Pokemon owned by an NPC that has minimum friendship which means it's also the only one that can use the move frustration at its strongest power while each member of the shadow triad have essentially identical appearances to one another there is early concept art that shows each of them with a more visually distinct design suggesting that some more individuality was originally planned for each of their characters instead of being basically a single conglomerate like they are in the final games team plasmas seven sages have an interesting connection to each other with their names as each one is a reference to color peroneus is derived from brown Diageo and i'm probably saying that terribly is italian for yellow Gorm is gaelic for blue rude is the dutch word for red rio qu comes from Rio qu Shoku which is Japanese for green and finally Xin zulan is used in French as the name of a reddish purple color gets us as also a part of the seven sages is the only exception to this however his name has a fascinating origin as well as it is a romanization of the musical notes G and C sharp which are the notes used on the timpani Xin his battle theme while it can be debated whether this was intentional or not Lysander and his goals have some undeniable similarities with Hitler of all people why Sanders goal is to wipe out everyone who he deems not beautiful which without going into too much detail is more or less what Hillier was going for and the of lie Sanders invention the holo caster sounds distinctly similar to the term Holocaust Aliana and the rest of the team flair admins have names that connect to one another as well as they are all derived from the rankings of solar flares which use the letters a B C M and X to classify them which are all the first initials of the team flare admins okay so fair warning this next one is a speculative fact because it's not official as far as I'm aware and is just a hunch on my part but I really do feel like there might be something here with this so if there's one thing that Brian II and the rest of the team player admins would be known for its their very colourful hairstyles like even by anime Japanese standards they're pretty noticeably colorful anyway it is possible that given team Flair's theme this could actually be a reference to heat signatures as an alphabetical order by name the color of the admins hair starts off as what would be a hot color with Aliana and her orange hair and progressively cools off as you get to Mabel and her blue hair zero SiC is kind of an outlier here but he's also kind of an outlier in general as the only male admin as well so I wanted to bring it up anyway and let you guys take it for what it's worth something that applies to celosia as well as the rest of the team player admins and Lysander for that matter is that all of their Pokemon correlate with their own gender meaning all of celosia x' and the other female admins Pokemon are female while zero SiC and lie Sanders Pokemon are all male Mabel's houndoom actually levels down from one battle to the next being level 48 when you face her at frost cavern but level 46 when you battle her again at Lysander labs zero SiC owns a malamar in both the games and anime and in the anime his malamar is voiced by Mark Thompson who has also voiced some very noteworthy characters in yugioh including duke devlin and Chazz Princeton Guzman de beauté into the anime later than any other vil team leader has so far with his first appearance coming in the 115 episode of the Sun and Moon arc he's also the first evil team leader in the anime to compete in a Pokemon League championship tournament plumeria is directly named after a genius of plants which also produce flowers that are most commonly yellow and different shades of pink in color which explains plumerias hair style and hair color perfectly the second time you battle loose amine and Sun and Moon is also the only trainer battle in the main series games to date where your Pokemon will gain experience but you do not get any prize money for winning ironically Faubus Japanese name is salvo which comes from the german word south bond which relates to the fava bean where he gets his english name however his german name does not use this word at all and is simply Fabien instead speaking of names it's rather fitting that Wieck who is known as the assistant branch chief at the either foundation underneath Baba's branch chief status would get her name from a German word for the vicia genus of plants which are included in the fabaceae family of legumes which is also where father's name originates I covered in a previous video how part of Pierce's battle music is remixed from the theme used for ends final battle and pokemon black and white but on top of that part of it is also a remixed piece of Team Rocket's hideout theme from generation 1 [Music] Oh Liana is the only member of the macrocosmos organization that does not specialize in steel types instead using an all-female team of Pokemon that are also more feminine in nature when it comes to chairman Rose this one isn't explicitly about him but it's still pretty cool chairman roses first appearance in any kind of anime material came during the first episode of Pokemon Twilight wings where he played a major role well in that episode just outside of wind and stadium there is a trainer with a Pikachu present that has a striking similarity to none other than Ash Ketchum and there we have it I really hope you guys enjoyed the video and if you did please leave a like and let me know your
