    She's speaking the truth, to be honest. She is just some pixels.
    Yes, she is pixels, but you don't have to tell people to "get over it" for liking a character.
    Let them be, sheesh. XD

    Anywho~ I think Kamitsure or Fuuro are second favorite to me. Not sure which yet, they're both pretty cool.
    Kamitsure is pretty cool because of her design and stoic expression. I like how they used the poker faced look of a model and an android as an inspiration for her.
    Electric is my second favorite type as well, so it only makes me like her more~

    Fuuro is very free-spirited, and charming to say the least, and I really enjoy personalities like that.
    Her gym is hilarious as well! When else in a Pokemon game do you get shot out of a cannon and face plant into the wall right before the gym leader?
    I couldn't stop laughing at that. XDD

    And what all this Fuuro lust by some? She's like, a kid o_O

    Where in the world is a kid like that...? (yeah, "Japan", but...) ¬v¬

    Fuurou have on of the best designs, besides Kamitsure and the ice type gym leadre (forgot his name now). I just find awful there's not a dark gym YET.. What the purpose of dark types, if they haven't a grm, after all?

  • My favorite is Kamitsure. She and Fuuro are some hot pixels XD
    But, I think Kon comes in second for me...not quite sure, the only gym leader I dislike is Poddo.

  • Exactly! By giving you the Monkey that has the type advantage over their Pokemon, they're forcing you to think and not make random, sporadic decisions.

    They should have given the monkey as a reward for beating the trio. That would have made sooo much more sense :/

  • I don't know if it's just me, or are the gym leaders in these games really easy?

    My favorite of them all is Iris. I think that is because she is in the Anime as well. :P

    Her hair is over the top in the anime. I miss Dawns nice neat hair. All the girls have had crazy hair except Dawn. But Iris looks nice in game. Her hair doesn't stand out as much.

  • No love for Yakon, the fifth Gym Leader? I'm not stepping into 'fanboy/girl' territory of anything (or am I?), but personally, I like him. He's got a badass, doesn't take crap from anyone atmosphere abou him. Plus...he's a Wild West cowboy or at least some representation of one. It's about time we have one of those in the games!

    Yakon reminds me of a character from the Original series actually...I personally like the idea of having a cowboy gym leader plus he's got emeralds in his gym (it's so a hint to R/S or E remake(s)!)

    Yakon is a little weird to me.
    Plus, we all know there's gonna be an RSE remake next *rolls eyes*
    (No, seriously. It even follows a pattern. 1st gen remake in 3rd gen, 2nd gen remake in 4th gen, 3rd gen remake in 5th gen!)

    I actually like Yakon's design a lot. His cowboy/western style really is unique and I would have never expected such a Gym Leader for the Pokémon games as I've never really thought about it before. He seems like a "professional cowboy" with the suitcase and all as well. :P
