->'''[=KarlingsDid4-8:=]''' I mean [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Sword and Shield]] kinda modernized by portraying [gym leaders] as celebrities that semi-rely on sponsorships and fan popularity. If gym leaders were real, I think they'd act like [[Website/YouTube Youtubers]].\\
'''Xisuthrus''': No, there's another, better analogy. {{Franchise/Pokemon}} battling is a competition, and the popularity of competitors is generally proportionate to their skill at battling. This dynamic makes Pokemon battler celebrities fundamentally unlike Youtubers, who are only "competing" with each other in that they all want views and ad money. In that sense, Pokemon battling is more akin to a professional sport, like baseball or football. However, Pokemon battlers are also unlike famous baseball/football players, because Pokemon battles [[TheBeastmaster require no athletic ability from the battler themselves]] - the sole factors that determine victory are their ability to come up with successful strategies prior to a battle, their ability to improvise when those strategies fail, and (if you assume "[[TurnBasedCombat turns]]" are just an [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality abstraction]] and each trainer is giving orders to their Pokemon in real time) their reaction time.\\
So, in conclusion, gym leaders would act like [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming e-sports players]].
