  • Lol at everyone jumping on the 8th badge wagon. For me:

    Bug Type

    6th Badge

    Gym Layout - Maze consisting of trees, string shot silk and web traps. Every time you land on a trap, you have to face a trainer. Beat the trainer, the trap is disabled and you can walk over the space it was once in.

    Leader lurks at the back of the Gym.

    Pokemon:

    Lapras Level: 38 (to deal with those who think they can just blast in with a Fire type or a Flying type)
    Foretress Level: 40
    Butterfree Level: 41
    Heracross Level: 43
    Scizor Level: 45

    Once the Protagonist is victorious, the Leader hands out the Silk badge.

  • I'm going to answer this thread as if it were in the anime rather than the games. That being said, I opt for a Dark-Type Gym. Aside of battles I think I would run a Trainers School :)

    The battles will always be fought at night, and the gym will have a roof capable of sliding open to let moonlight in. I would give the challengers the option of battling on a normal field or a basin of water with black platforms here and there.

    Teams:

    Field: Houndoom, Umbreon, Honchkrow
    Water: Sharpedo, Weavile, Honchkrow

    If the challenger managed to prevail over a tricky and sometimes dirty strategy I would give them the Eclipse Badge.

  • Ice type

    4th Gym

    In an Ice Palace.
    They have to defeat my 3 Gym trainers before me, all consecutively.
    Once they reach me, the whole Palace is usable as the battleground, it's made out of Ice so its to my advantage. The ground can part open to reveal shallow water.

    Pokemon:
    Lv. 25 Shellder
    Lv. 24 Snorunt
    Lv. 27 Sealeo
    Lv. 30 Jynx

    The Chill Badge :3
    and new TM. Frostbite (90% chance of freezing the foe but only 35 Damage. 5PP)

  • 8th Gym Leader of Psychic
    Meditation Badge
    TM would be Psychic

    The Gym would be dark, only a small patch of light that grows bigger as you beat more trainers. Every tile of the Gym would be filled with warps that warps you to another location on the Gym. The tiles would make you reach and fight all 8 Gym trainers within (meaning forced battles) before fighting me. If the trainer gets lost, he/she won't be able to escape from the Gym, hehes. Therefore, requires calmness/meditation to get through.

    The whole Gym would be a big square of tiles with several non-warp tiles occupied by the Gym trainers. Meaning one big room with warp tiles that you have to navigate through.

    Xatu Level 43 - Drill Peck, Psychic, Wish, Future Sight
    Starmie Level 45 - Hydro Pump, Psychic, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt
    Alakazam Level 47 - Psychic, Signal Beam, Focus Blast, Shadow Ball
    Gardevoir Level 45 - Psychic, Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, Wish
    Jynx Level 43 - Lovely Kiss, Dream Eater, Ice Beam, Psychic

  • I think about this a lot 8D Especially since when I was younger and saw the third movie. Ahem. Also, nice map, Resultz.

    Water-type gym leader - 3rd
    In a nautical harbour city is where this gym is found. The trainer takes a bridge to the gym and enters, then fights their way through the two disciples, who have a Wingull and a Krabby respectively. The gym is full of tides like in RSE.

    Wingull Lv. 17 - Growl / Wing Attack / Supersonic / Water Pulse
    Corsola Lv. 17 - Water Pulse / Aqua Ring / Recover / Bubble
    Chinchou Lv. 18 - Water Pulse / Charge Beam / Confuse Ray / Thunder Wave

    Gym is based on confusion stalling.

    Brine Badge

    One gym that is really just my fantasy:

    Grass-type gym leader - 7th
    In a town full of flowers and trees. Maybe falling cherry blossom petals like Kyoto in spring :3 Basically takes Erika's theme further. ^^;

    The gym would be decorated with flowers and trees and bridges, with a giant flower with the gym leader in it at the top. There would be two disciples with Skiploom, Cherrim, Roselia, and Tangela. To cause the petals of the flower to unfold, you have to press the lantern switches, which means you have to get past the disciples.

    Jumpluff Lv. 37 - Memento / Sleep Powder / Sunny Day / Reflect
    Roserade Lv. 40 - Shadow Ball / Sludge Bomb / SolarBeam / Weather Ball
    Cherrim Lv. 39 - SolarBeam / Sunny Day / Giga Drain / Growth

    TM: 22 SolarBeam

    The emphasis is on special attackers with good coverage. Cherrim is able to set up Growth because of Memento, Sleep Powder, and Reflect. Roserade can clean up and/or sweep with Sunny Beam. However, Fire-types shred through the team, as does anything with great Special Defense. Sunny Day can be Potion-stalled.

    Petal Badge

  • I would be the 7th gym leader and use fire types and give out the BlazeBadge.

    My Team would be:
    Spoiler:


    My Rematch Team would be:
    Spoiler:


    All of my rematch team knows Eruption, even though most of them can't learn it, and Blaziken's moves are:
    -Blaze Kick
    -Sky Uppercut
    -Endure
    -Reversal

    He is also holding a Salac Berry, and his Defence and special defence Base Stats are both 50 instead of the normal 70 and his speed base stat is 120 instead of the normal 80, making him much more difficult to defeat with his Endure / Reversal combo.

    I have two ideas of what I would be like as a Gym leader.

    Steel Type - Platinum Badge - TM92 Trick Room
    Bronzong Lv. 50 @ Lum Berry - Trick Room / Explosion / Earthquake / Gyro Ball
    Magnezone Lv. 52 @ Sitrus Berry - Thunderbolt / Flash Cannon / Iron Defence / Magnet Rise
    Lucario Lv. 52 @ Iron Ball - ExtremeSpeed / Swords Dance / Close Combat / Fling

    This team is focused around Trick Room.

    The gym would be decorated with steel floors and walls, making the entire gym look silver, the gyms layout will be a maze built up of many paths (Some elevated, some on the gyms floor and some that lower to pass under the floor paths).

    Dark Type - Moonlight Badge
    I'm not sure what my team would be (however it would definately include an Umbreon) the Gym's design would be a dark room decorated with blue lights that run along the floor (to resemble a shiny Umbreon)

  • I'd use the Water type and my team would be:

    Gyarados
    Blastoise
    Golduck
    Floatzel
    Lapras
    Swampert (highest level)

    Battles would be held in a large pool with completely sationary platforms all over, a couple
    above the Water level and some platforms just float.
