    Dude lost control of his pokemon.

    I guess he doesn't have enough badges to train Ruffy.

    After seeing that, something tells me he's not qualified to run the gym either. From what I've seen in the anime, gym leaders have total control of their Pokemon. This dude is most likely a poser. I'll bet he's not the real gym leader.

  • Imagine if this happened randomly in game. You tell your Pokemon to use one move, but instead, they disobey you and use a different move. But this would be very rare.

    back in the day this did occur. one of the things they did to nerf trading was you needed badges to make certain levels of pokemon willing to obey you to keep you gated based on where you were in the story/ gym progression. once you had all badges that restriction gets quietly removed. most just never realize it was a thing cuz they never try it.

    if i recall its still a thing in some of the games. but i dunno about the newer ones or the remakes.

    A lot of gym leaders misbehave in some way or another and end up just fine. What he's seeing is that Ruffy isn't the angel he thought he was, so it seems more likely that he'll end up waking up to the troubles Ruffy's caused.

    in legends arceus it just happens with all pokemon regardless of whether they are traded. probably to balance how easy it is to catch high level pokemon early on.

    You don't see collars on league trainer's pokemon either. I wouldn't say Misty and Brock were in complete sync with their pokemon, they just had a better ability to work with them. In Misty's case, Psyduck completely ignored her.
    Then we have Team Rocket's James, who isn't a gym leader, but demonstrates an extreme level of understanding with his pokemon. Despite this, Victreebell and Carnivine completely disregard his requests.

    true but that Psyduck is an anomaly at least of what I seen and James well, I doubt anyone has as much bad luck as him with pokemon, look let's just leave it at we both have good points and leave it there before this starts getting turned into an argument.

    Afaik, it's still a thing! While I can't speak for SWSH, BDSP, or LGPE, Legends Arceus has the same mechanic tied to your ranking in the survey corp (which consists of ten stars that you earn by making progress filling out the Pokedex), so I would assume it's in the previously mentioned games as well.

    it's definetely in sun and moon, I have moon and pokemon on occasion disobeyed me in battle before I got the badge for their levels.

    The gym doesn't even have a referee. Not to mention his team don't even share types (I know not as closely followed nowadays but that shit is sacred man).

    Although he does have the hairstyle and illegal movesets (Lycanroc cannot learn Double Slap) to match an anime gym leader so who knows.

    Not Pokemon, but something like this can happen rarely in Mother 3. One of your party is a dog who can use items like the rest of the party. Sometimes if you try to have the dog use a food item to heal another party member, he'll scarf it down himself instead. It's very rare but it cracked me up both times it happened to me.
