    Let's say that in a future Pokémon game, you are given the chance to too either become gym leader or join ranks of Elite Four--would you accept it? If so, which--former or latter? What type would you specialize in? What would your team be? What would be some of your quotes? Also, if you're choosing gym leader, what TM would you reward to those who beat you, and what would you call your badge?

    Hmmm, I'd probably go with Gym Leader. Probably get more challengers that way. I'd be a Dragon type Gym Leader, and my team would be:

    -Zekrom
    -Garchomp
    -Dragonite
    -Goodra
    -Hydreigon
    -Tyrantrum

    Assuming we get to use 6 Pokemon. My prize TM would be a TM for Dragon Pulse, because that really needs to be a TM again. AS for the badge name, IDK, I suck at coming up with names for stuff.

    Assuming im the last Gym in the Game, this would be my team:
    - Houndoom
    - Honchkrow
    - Umbreon
    - Weavile

    I would be a Water-type Gym Leader.

    Kingdra's setting up of Rain Dancing, Feraligatr, Empoleon, Gyarados holding Gyaradosite, and Vaporean and Milotic as walling.

    It would be a Double Battle mode only.

    Deep Sea Badge, given TM Scald.

    Either those, I'm Ghost-type specialist and my team would be:
    - Sableye
    - Gengar
    - Giratina
    - Jellicent
    - Dusknoir
    - Cofagrious
    and if I would be gym leader, I will hand out TM contains Hex.

    My favourite type is Fighting, so I'd probably go with a gym of that sort.

    -Toxicroak
    -Pangoro
    -Poliwrath
    -Emboar/Blaziken/Infernape
    -Medicham
    -Machamp

    TM would be Storm Throw.

    Badge- I dunno- Bruiser or something.

    I'd probably quote Fight Club and Rocky. Probably a few martial arts movies, too.

    How great would it be to have the Rocky theme play as the gym music.

    Elite Four - Fire Type

    Arcanine
    Pyroar
    Darmanitan
    Flareon
    Rapidash
    Ho-Oh (just kidding, Talonflame)

    I was also thinking Charizard (with Megastone) if that was "cool" with Nintendo.

    I think I would be a gym leader because I like attention but not a lot.
    I would be an ice type leader with the following pokemon
    Piloswine
    Aurorus
    Walrein
    And Beartic
    I would give out the snowstorm badge and a tm for the move ice shard.

    Hm, hard to choose which to become if I had the chance >< I think for the reason that there would be more challengers, as No Chance Without Zekrom mentioned, it'd be better to be a gym leader. With that said, I'd definitely be someone who specializes with Ice; Water would have been my choice, but I figured a change of favourites would be nice (: Team would consist of: Aurorus, Glaceon, Vanilluxe and Articuno. TM I would give would be Freeze Shock.

    Definitely be a Fire Gym Leader. Preferably the 6th leader in a region.

    - Torkoal
    - Combusken
    - Chandelure
    - Fletchinder
    - Houndour
    - Arcanine

    The TM I'd give out would contain Fire Spin, and I'd hand out the Energy Badge, my inspiration coming from The Last Airbender:

    "All this time, I thought firebending was destruction...But now I know what it really is. It's energy, and life." - Aang

    My gym would have fire walls that spring up when you try to take shortcuts, so you have to fight every one of my trainers!

    I would love to be a gym leader. I would use the Bear pokemon for my team. I think that would be an interesting challenge

    I'd be a Gym Leader (since I think the Elite Four would be a bit too much for me) and I'd use the Dark type, but of course. The TM I'd award would be Dark Pulse, but I dunno what my badge would be called...

    Oh, and my team:
    -Umbreon
    -Tyranitar
    -Honchkrow
    -Skuntank
    -Weavile
    -Absol (w/ Absolite)

    ...Or something like that, I'm really indecisive when it comes to team building. >>

    If I choose I'll be Dragon/Fighting/Fire/Dark Gym Leader.Preferably 8th and Final Leader in Region and Probably get more challengers that way.

    My Specialty: HYBRID

    My Teams are:
    - HITMONCHAN
    -
    Blaziken (W/ Blazikenite)
    - DARKRAI (SHADOW FORCE Ability Skill)
    - WHITE KYUREM
    - UMBREON
    - CHARIZARD (W/
    Charizardite Y)

    We get to use a Traditional 6 Pokemon.The TM I give for winning challenger trainer it would be contain "Shadow Force".

    TM SHADOW FORCE:
    The user disappears,then strikes the target on the next turn.This move hits even if the target protects itself.

    As for the Badge I call it "VOID BADGE".I'm inspiration is from the GBA version of FINAL FANTASY V:

    "I see you've begun to understand my glorious existence here...Yet perhaps it is best you see for yourselves my true power...Power that held the whole world in fear...
    THE POWER OF THE VOID!" - ENUO

    As for GYM it would nothing but Void all over my gym and block my fellow trainers in your path and my style is ala Blaine's Quiz Bee if you answer correct you will go through but if you answer is wrong you'll be battle....

    I would rather be an Elite Four member. They can actually close down the league for a while, and nobody could do anything about it. Looking at you Lorelei. :P

    I would want to be a Weather Team Elite Four Member, preferably a Rain Dancer team. :)

    But I don't know what a good Rain Dance team would be. :P
