~~FIRST?~~

Name: Meganium90
Your Gym Leader: IT'S SO HARD TO DECIDE. Kay.. guess I'll go with......Erika!
2 Partner Pokemon (Read the Rules): Victreebel and Bellossom
Why have you joined to be trained: I know what it takes to be the best, and show what I'm made of!

What do you think of the new Gym Leaders for Black and White 2: Homika and Shizui?

I am SO happy that there's finally a Poison-type leader. The series has been lacking one since 2nd generation (which was Koga's daughter, Janine). But I think Homika is going to be one of the most popular in the B2 series. Especially her choice of Pokemon. :)

Squirrel · Apr 19, 2012

Name: AlexOzzyCake
Your Gym Leader: ~~HOMIKA! <3]~~ Koga for now, until a certain new Poison leader is out ;]
2 Partner Pokemon: Koga's Muk & my partner Foongus <3
Why have you joined to be trained: I adore gym leaders! My favourite is actually Cilan because he is amazing (I love you Cilan...), but I went with Koga because he uses my favourite type which is also the type I'd specialize in as a gym leader. :3 Also his Muk is the whole cause of my love of the Poison type; it all stemmed from that one Pokemon. It was amazing to see him promoted to the Elite Four and I was so glad to see Poison types get their spotlight! <3 Also I want my Foongus to be raised to gym standard! <3

What do you think of the new Gym Leaders for Black and White 2: Homika and Shizui?
I absolutely LOVE Homika. Poison types are making a comeback! <3 Her name, style, Pokemon choice (based on speculation), type choice, appearance and just everything released on her so far looks utterly wonderful. I simply cannot wait to challenge her! Shizui I honestly know next-to-nothing about, but I'm sure he'll be cool - Water type gym leaders normally have a certain quirk about them which makes them a pleasure to fight against. :3

I wonder if they should had revealed Shizui way before Homika so he can get some spotlight too. He's being overshadowed haha. Some pictures would be nice to view of both. They are, for sure, the future! xD

Homika! <3 I don't know much about Shizui so there's not much I could comment on about him, but Homika is a whole different story. From her guitar alone it seems obvious she'll be using a Scolipede (the bottom of the guitar = tails, the neck of the guitar = horns, the colour is the same, etc :3) and her hair almost resembles a tied-up rubbish bag, possibly hinting at the use of a Trubbish? Based on this I'd love her team! Then hopefully she'll get a cool Pokemon or two from the previous gens, maybe an Arbok since her personality seems quite sharp and jabbing, and maybe a Toxicroak to compliment her love of music? I dunno, these are very rough guesses, but it's the best I can think of for now x]

Why have you joined to be trained: I've always loved the different gym leaders. I've always liked how they look versus what their pokemon type is.

What do you think of the new Gym Leaders for Black and White 2: Homika and Shizui?

Homika will be interesting, a poison-type gym leader.. cool! Shizui seems alright =)

Aside from Amoonguss' family, those are the only other two Poison-families in Generation 5. You may be dead-on of what she might hold for her Pokemon in Gym Battles. They just seem right for one another! But her guitar is sick!

I found some pictures, did some browsing. I'm going with, I think she might have Koffing with a Scolipede xD

But she doesn't seem to be the friendly type of person. :pirate: And I think she will have only two Pokemon. Homika/Shizui, have they been revealed because they are the first two new Gym Leaders of Black and White 2? Meaning the next group will be Gym Leaders 3-4 and so on? We'll see!

Some pictures I found:

Welcome to the club! ~~& the forums!~~ You are now officially a trainer of Pryce's. You must be a huge fan of Pryce! Is there a reason why? Mamoswine is a beastly Pokemon, but its definitely suitable for Pryce and only Pryce! xD

Ephemeral Euphoria · Apr 19, 2012

Name - Xulek
Your Gym Leader- Lt. Surge
Your Partner Pokemon - Electivire (Babe) & Electrode (Bubbles)

Reason For Joining - I've always had a great deal of respect for most if not all of the Gym Leaders ever since I was a wee boy and they've always given me a memorable fight whenever I came to challenge one of them.

Homika does look pretty interesting at first glance though, hope she's among the first of the Gym Leaders you face in B2W2 tbh and I'm definitely praying for a rematch with her after the game is completed.

Hope I can join btw.

Sure you can join! Nice to know I'm not the only Electric trainer, for now lol

Lt. Surge is just badass. If it wasn't for Elesa, "The Shining Beauty," I'd for certain pick him as my leader! What's your opinion on Lt. Surge? Did you see the impressive Pikachu vs Raichu battle of the Anime? I remember it clearly. Pikachu lost and wanted to prove that he doesn't NEED to be Raichu to beat Lt. Surge's Raichu. Man that was a great episode, perfect I might say!

Lol indeed. Lt. Surge is simply great in both the anime and the games along with the manga adaptation as well imo, and Pikachu vs Raichu was amazing hands down haha. That episode's gotta be my personal favorite nowadays without a doubt.

Meganium · Apr 20, 2012

Lt. Surge was just amazing in the anime. So TOUGH. I love his Raichu. I feel like watching that episode again.

Sector Revenge said:
Still trying to get everything organized in this club, and I forgot nicknames! And I changed the rules around a bit, if you still want Bellossom that's okay, but you can have any Grass types you want as your 2nd partner, doesn't have to be under any ownership of the gym leaders. And you can have nicknames if you want....now formally..

I was going to get Leavanny, but it's a primary bug-type, so I didn't want to go borderline. I'm being traditional here, so I'd rather use Erika's Pokemon rather than choose any grass-type. ~~Meganium would be another choice~~

Yes, even within the original Pokemon theme song they have that Raichu trying to body slam Pikachu and missing. I think that's another reason for that episode's popularity. Here are a couple pictures I found! Honestly I think Raichu is growing back to me. He was my favorite Pokemon back in Generation 1 and 2. ~~Before I met Latias.~~ Lt. Surge's Raichu's badass personality was the reason for the favoritism.

Same here. I used to have this episode on VHS, I think I watched this episode the most out of every other Pokemon episodes. It was just that amazing! But alrighty. Tradition is a good thing. We have to stay loyalty to our gym leaders after all.

Several reasons

1) Pryce rocks! haha
2) Ice pokemon are my favorite type
3) The only other Ice leader is Candice and I don't like her as much. (Also she has a Mamoswine so it's suitable for more people that just Pryce. :P)

Why don't you like Candice? :(

Then again, I always have a soft spot when it comes to female, so there's no real difficult reason why I prefer her over Pryce myself. :P

What was your favorite moment of Pryce in the Anime? All I can remember is his first appearance right before Lance captured that Red Gyarados

Grey Cloud · Apr 21, 2012

I actually didn't watch the anime as much, but I've always thought Pryce was cool.

2 Partner Pokemon: Jester the Gengar, Ozzy the Rotom
Why have you joined to be trained: ~~I was forced to~~ Well, what would pokemon be without gym leaders? I just adore most of them <3

Now, about Homika and Shizui.

Homika looks cool, I wanted a poison gym leader for a long time and I jope to have a decent battle with her :3

Shizui, I don't like him much at the moment, I never liked water gyms because they were too easy *always has a grass or electric type pokemon in her team*.
And his is pants make me.. well.. make a "dafuq" face >.>

Why have you joined to be trained: The main reason, I joined was because I respect Jamine and admire her. The way she protects a ampharos because i was sick and how she was actually a really strong trainer despite her innocent look.

Your Gym Leader: Misty
2 Partner Pokemon: Cyan the Lapras and Auxillary the Lantern
Why have you joined to be trained: I love water types and Misty has so much personality. I love how many species there are, al of them with unique niches.
What do you think of the new Gym Leaders for Black and White 2: Homika and Shizui?
They seem really cool! Especially Homika, probably because I like poison types as well. I wonder what Pokemon Shizui will use?

Welcome to the club! Misty, ahh. The favorite female companion of Ash's! How did you feel when Misty parted ways with Ash and Brock? I personally want her back, but as a gym leader, it's her duty to train those Pokemon! Any favorite episodes specifically for/about Misty? There are a tons! I think Shizui will have Water type Pokemon as well.

Jasmine is a wonderful gym leader. I love her as well! I remember seeing her appearance in the Diamond/Pearl series. Checking out the contests, was she? Any favorite moments by Jasmine? That Steelix of hers was indeed a scary one at first appearance!

Now that you think about, Morty is a great Ghost Pokemon. I like him as well. I don't really know much about him myself to be honest.

Olli97 said:
Name: Olli97/Olli
Your Gym Leader: Falkner
2 Partner Pokemon: Falkner's Staraptor and Pidgey
Why have you joined to be trained: The Gym Leaders are some of the most awesome and respected characters in all of the games, and they have all rightfully deserved their spot on the league teams. They are the challenges ahead of you whenever you start your journey, and for most parts, the ones you train to defeat, and they're all just generally awesome. I loved how they're sometimes parts of events outside of the gyms in the games, which helps to add to their personalities, making you know more about them, and making them the more interesting and in-depth characters in the games.

What do you think of the new Gym Leaders for Black and White 2: Homika and Shizui?

At the current time I haven't really generated much of an opinion on them, though I like both their designs, and Alex' hype about Homika has kinda made me like her a bit.
I expect Homika to be a tough nail, due to how fierce she looks in the current pictures of her, and seriously. All Poison type trainers has always been a pain in the behind to beat, so I expect nothing less from Homika.

Shizui kinda reminds me of the Gen IV Water type gym leader (which I don't remember the name of, and am to too lazy to look up :(), so I look forward to getting more information on him. But as I said, I haven't really gotten an opinion on either of them as of yet :/

~~Hope that Pidgey isn't ready to faint!~~
I wouldn't say they are all respectful. There are quite a few that are mean and doesn't want to talk or battle against you(the player, of course). I completely agree with what you say about Homika. I think I may like her and enjoy her greatly myself as well. That Generation IV Water-type gym leader you are speaking of? Crasher Wake. It's still very earlier to tell and give an opinion on these guys until the game releases or the anime show their appearances.

Now as for your joining, why do you choose Falkner? Anything specific about him? ~~Other than a freebie to choosing Pidgey :P~~

& last but not least: WELCOME NEW MEMBERS!!

Grey Cloud · Apr 21, 2012

Yes, welcome to the new members!

cyndaqwilfish:) · Apr 22, 2012

I was sad when Misty left the show. To me, a hot-tempered friend adds more realism to the show and I thought she really completed Ash (even if they fought like crazy!) I really liked her on the show, probably also because of her interesting backround too. Maybe it explains why she was so short tempered, being the youngest of four girls. One of my favorite episodes with her was where she had her first battle with Ash at the Cerulean Gym. Idk... she just made the show to me.
