4th Gen Do You Do Gyms in Improper Order?

[Gimmepienow]

Some gyms you can actually skip and come back to later on in the game like for example in Diamond and Pearl, you can skip Maylene and head right to Pastoria to beat Crasher Wake.

Have you ever done this before?

 

[Lady Gaga]

No, since I never knew you could! o:

 

[Gimmepienow]

I actually did it by accident on my first playthough of Pearl, I somehow managed to make it to Pastoria before Veilstone despite people blocking your path in Hearthome

 

[DeeJayFusion]

I have done that. It's kinda hard considering you need to be good to do it xD

 

[Code]

Only once. I think this thread should be covering All games, not just the pokemon series, cause there are very few possibilities to do this in the games except for the mentioned place.
For example: In the legend of zelda: Ocarina of time, I did the "desert" temple before I did the "dark" temple, because it was too scary. XD

 

[GlitchCity]

I've done this in every generationespically in the RBY FR LG onesin FR and LG you can skip around like crazy, if you trade over a pokemon that knows cut before you hit up the SS anne you can skip the ship and come back to it later. lets see, you can skip erikas gym and head down to fushia.i just do this alot to get some extra training. and its alot of fun to spike the gym leaders too xDDD

 

[mondays suck]

In the first 2 generation games, it depends on my mood and my team's strengths and weaknesses which gym i fight first, for example i often fight Pryce before heading to Olivine and Cyanwood. But in the later generations, there isn't much to skip (it would be so awesome to skip Wattson), so i don't.

 

[ArcanineOod]

Not in DPPt, I don't believe... Only with Brawly in a Normal Monotype Challenge in Ruby.

I didn't know it was possible in DPPt, if I'm honest...

xX

 

[Legobricks]

I recall having done so in one of the old games but I don't remember any details.

 

[VeganMacAndCheese]

I only ever do it in R/B/Y/FR/LG. In fact, I don't think I know what IS the proper order for those... once you get to Celadon, everything just kind of mushes together until you learn Surf.

 

[Myles]

I only really would have in Yellow and Silver, but more by accident. In Platinum I did travel right around that lower-right circle of cities before battling the Gyms, because I wanted to train a Raichu (cliche I know, but its better than Shinx :X and I think I forgot about Rotom, since it was the only one I didn't see by the time I beat the Pokemon League). But then I went back around and battled the Gyms in order.

 

[Fenrir Reki]

No because I would rather do them in order. I dont think I ever did the gyms in an improper order before though.

 

[Dragonmaster91]

For example: In the legend of zelda: Ocarina of time, I did the "desert" temple before I did the "dark" temple, because it was too scary. XD

Do you possibly mean shadow temple, and spirit temple? If your confused about which one is normally first, so am I...

I did not know you had to battle Maylene first, I thought you had to battle Wake... So I guess that would be a yes for me...

 

[Skip Class]

I tried it once with doing Pastoria before Veilstone

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

No, though my brother went after Wake before Maylene in his Diamond. I just stick to the default order because it's easier to follow the game guides that way :P

 

[Pikachukid]

Yeah I always seem to skip some gym leaders, then when I want to go challenge the elite four the dudes guarding teh e4's palace/colosseum thing say I need to get all the gym leaders so I usually get lost and eventually find the gym leader I need to beat.

 

[empty streets]

Never really even thought of skipping a gym.. But perhaps I did it by accident in some game, don't remember where it was though. Probably Crystal. It's easy to get lost in Kanto there.

 

[Maiev]

I already did this when i restarted the game using cheats. o.O

 

[Vespinus]

I've never skipped a gym, also though the only reason I didn't is because I was in the Pastoria gym and I hadn't yet done the Veilstone gym. Anyway, I hadn't healed at the Pokemon center in Pastoria and I got beaten By Crasher Wake. I was sent back to Veilstone. I was very very annoyed. :/

Same, spirit before Shadow Temple.
In Pokemon I've always beaten the gyms in order.
