6th Gen Gym Types/Puzzles/Appearance Speculation

[shubham2207]

Most probably it will be no 6 gym once again.

Gen 2
jasmine - 6th gym
Gen 4
byron - 6th gym

Steel would need to be earlier or be the last I think.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I want that third steel gym, hopefully this generation will introduce some more good steel types and bring back some old ones to make it difficult. I imagine it'll be 6th again just like how Ice has been 7th three times in a row...
How about a flying gym? wait flying's been sixth too besides in gen II...speaking of first gyms I'm hoping that the first gym is dragon, imagine how hard that'll be to defeat xD.

 

[metalhand]

i would like to see a gym thats not based on single type, like green/blue's gym

 

[Zorogami]

I would love a Gym like that as well, maybe as the 8th Gym?
Would be more of a challenge than just fighting one type.

 

[Guy]

Ice-type Gym anyone?

 

[Jake♫]

Definitely possible! Although the image is definitely small, that looks like a crystalline structure similar to ice, so it could definitely hint at it. Plus, it's in the snowy part of Karos, so that would also make sense for us having another Ice gym akin to Snowpoint City in Sinnoh!

 

[metalhand]

in the new trailer in miare city(forgot the english name...) there is a a statue of roselia with a gym symbol. so probably there gonna be a grass or poison type gym

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Ice-type Gym anyone?

It looks like a giant Amethyst...could be Psychic as crystals are used in new age medicine. So either Psychic or Ice if it is a gym.

 

[Jake♫]

If that's the case then we'd probably be given a Grass Gym, perhaps also confirming that the Budew line is also back into the games (which I would personally love). Roselia is more associated with Grass than Poison in my opinion, so makes sense!

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I think it may be grass because as Jake says Roselia is more connected to Grass than Poison. I wonder if the inside will be that place that we saw in first trailer with the vines.

 

[Bluerang1]

Well it's definitely a Gym, and I think grass because of the leaf extending from the symbol.

Copypasta coming through!

After the gym leaders all teamed up to help you in the previous game, I'd love to see more of the manga style, with the gym leaders all being evil and with a Dark gym leader already! Maybe a dual type of Fairy-Light/Dark gym.

I would love dual typing gyms being everywhere... If they did dual type gyms, however, I think the 8*2=16 would leave 1-2 types out unless there are more new types. If they did this I bet that the types left out would be Fairy-Light and Dark type meaning that Dark-type would be left by the evil team and Fairy-Light would be the Elite Four Champion's type.

 

[Zorogami]

A dark typed Gym is long overdue, i don't see why it should be E4 exclusive
Dual typed Gyms are an awesome idea, which would make things more challenging as well.

 

[shubham2207]

I think gym leader should hav single type pkmns but more difficult, like drizzle + swift swim... What would i like is that there should be 3 on 3 battle in which we have to choose any 3 pkmn fr battling. Nt like we have 6 pkmns and they have just 2.. That would be unfair

I also like the idea of using the same number of Pokemon. I would also like choices of which gym leader to fight instead of it being predetermined. Maybe they have a different team based on the number of badges you own.

 

[blue]

You know what, I'd be surprised if they did include a Dark type gym.

 

[CliCliW]

3 on 3 battling for the win - it makes it way more difficult and tactical.

I don't know about having the choice of which gym to face though. Generally we're required to get a gym badge to be able to use a HM that's necessary to progress. If you can fight in whatever order or (as suggested way back) explore the entire region then go back and fight gym leaders it seems moot. You may as well remove the concept of gym leaders altogether then...

Though it always bugged me that the first gym leaders were always ridiculously weak, but I don't know how to counter that.

Apparently HMs are replaced with natural abilities. If they made it so you don't do your first gym battle until later on then they could easily make it a challenge... Different routes leading to each town isn't abnormal... In the first games you had the ability to skip over gyms to your liking and do them out of order in a way. Maybe they could have more than 8 gyms where you could choose which of the eight you'd like to defeat to go to the elite four...

 

[blue]

I'd like the option to choose what battle style to use against Gym Leaders out of Single, Double or Triple. I think having all one on one can become a little tedious, at least with Double and Triple more tactical planning is needed, more so for Triple battles and it would make Gym Battles a little extra challenging and rewarding.
