Gym Leader Ideas Anyone?
 
Ok... I want to create new gym leaders for a GBA LeafGreen game, but sad to say I suck at creating gym leaders... whatever...

So, I would like to know what people are looking for in gym leader challenges. Do you prefer leaders with mixed type pokemon? What about pokemon with the same attacks? Do you prefer insane challenges where to have to keep battling again and again before you actually win? I would like to know!

Gym Leader: [Insert Name & gender]
Pokemon
1) [Whoever and maybe a special attack] Lvl. ****

2) (repeat)

3) etc. etc. etc.


This was one of my ideas:

Gym Leader: Jacob (male)
Lover of Eevee evolutions
Pokemon
1) Jolteon lvl. 45 (pin missle, agility, sand-attack, spark)

2) Espeon lvl. 45 (psybeam, sand-attack, morning sun, psychic)

3) Vaporeon lvl. 45 (body slam, acid armor, sand-attack, waterfall)

4) Flareon lvl. 45 (flame wheel, sand-attack, tail whip, flamethrower)

5) Umbreon lvl. 45 (faint attack, sand-attack, shadow ball, curse)


This was one of my ideas... maybe you all can do a hundred times better than me...


I would like a mixture of lower lvl. gym leader and of course higher level gym leaders too.

If any of you come up with some great Gym Leader ideas or descriptions, I will put you in my credits and graciously thank you for your time!

JollyRoger25 December 11th, 2008 6:39 PM

I prefer leaders that specialize in a singular type, Ex: Blaine=Fire, Misty=Water, Chuck=Fighting, etc., I also enjoy pure attack leaders, with pokemon that have only level up moves, and power, powerful leaders are the best.
Gym Leader: Veronica (female) (Last Gym Leader)
Denizen of the Darkness
Pokemon
1)Umbreon -Dark- Lvl:55 - Moonlight/Faint Attack/Pursuit/Confuse Ray
2)Murkrow -Dark/Flying- Lvl:50 - Peck/Faint Attack/Night Shade/Taunt
3)Houndoom -Dark/Fire- Lvl:45 - Ember/Faint Attack/Bite/Roar
4)Crawdaunt -Dark/Water- Lvl:45 - Crabhammer/Taunt/Bubblebeam/Knock Off
5)Cacturne -Dark/Grass- Lvl:45 - Needle Arm/Faint Attack/Leech Seed/Ingrain

And a Gym Leader that destroys him.

Machamp lv53 -Cross Chop- -Earthquake- -Something- -something-
Alakazam lv53 -Ice Punch- -Psychic- -Fire Punch- -Thunderpunch-

Yeah, two level 53 Pokemon destroy a level 55 team of "strong" Pokemon. :P

They are strong because they have base stat totals of 600 except slaking that has 670 the only pokemon with higher base stat totals are ledgandary

Ninja Caterpie December 12th, 2008 3:11 AM

Yeah, yeah, I know. They're all bordering Uber. Funny how two are weak to ice and two are weak to fighting, eh?

otaku-dono December 12th, 2008 3:15 AM

h POKE December 12th, 2008 6:49 PM

I prefer cut and dry, down to business gym leaders that actually mean something: no lameo lv.14 person placed right at the beginning of the game.
Gym Leader Kent (Grass)
1- Weepinbell lv.21
Poison Powder
Growth
Giga Drain
Sludge Bomb
2- Shiftry lv.23
Shadow Ball
Sunny Day
Solar Beam
Brick Break
3- Ludicolo lv.23
Ice Beam
Water Pulse
Synthesis
Substitute
4- Numel lv.25
Body Slam
Flamethrower
Sandstorm
Magnitude
That would be a first gym leader after quite a bit of playing through the game.

MadnugA01x December 12th, 2008 7:45 PM

hm, heres one idea
Name:Angel
Gender:Female
Pokemon:
-Gengar lv 50
-Staraptor lv 47
-Magmortar lv 51
-Milotic lv 51
-Bellossom lv47
-Porygon Z lv 49

This is of course a mixed team

Here's another Gym leader idea for those badges "in the middle"
Name:Serenity
Gender:Female
Pokemon:
-Gyrados lv 35
-Milotic lv 35
-Gardevoir lv 36
-Gallade lv 36
-Delcatty lv 33

True Reign December 13th, 2008 5:19 PM

I've got two gym leaders; brother and sister actually. They have two different types, but it works to their advantage.

Name: Lily and JD
Type: Water and Steel
Position: Eight
- Corsola {Lily's} [Surf, Rest, Mirror Coat, Toxic]
- Magneton {JD's} [Thunderbolt, Tri Attack, Protect, Thunder Wave]
- Slowking {Lily's} [Surf, Psychic, Rest , Sleep Talk]
- Skarmory {JD's} [Drill Peck, Roar, Spikes, Toxic]

This will be one of the most difficult in-game matches you have fought if these guys were in the game.

h POKE December 13th, 2008 6:47 PM

FOOL! This is third gen! If you want to post your FOURTH-gen gym ideas, go elsewhere. I actually, got my idea from an originally fourth-gen thing, but had the sense to change it...

It's called being human. Everyone makes mistakes and please don't call me a fool again.

h POKE December 14th, 2008 12:50 PM

Sorry... I just love saying that. It's become one of my saying like "that's garbage" or something to that effect. Anyways, it's actually a very fine gym idea, except for the whole generation discrepancy.

mtr12 December 14th, 2008 4:27 PM

I would love to see a Bug type Gym Leader that was actually competent. Bugsy from GSC sucked because Kakuna and Metapod were training fodder, and Scyther was dead to a rock throw, or to Poison and stall with Bayleef and switching. Seriously, Fury Cutter? Wing Attack might have worked. But now, we have Silver Wind.

Perhaps an endgame gym leader would start with a Ninjask who stalled, gained speed and BP'd to a Sweeper Scizor. A Forretress that laid down spikes and blew itself up. A Butterfree that fired off sleep and paralysis spells with Compoundeyes. And a finishing Pinsir that would sweep. Maybe an Omastar to guard against fires and rocks (Hey, he looks like a fossilized bug, and the Bug Catcher in Round 2 PkmnStad2 uses one).

The problem with this would be the AI. But from my experience playing Shiny Gold, the Koga of the Elite Four had an Ariados that BP'd after several double teams. Even in RBY, Agatha would frequently switch Pokemon. So my guess is that its possible, but difficult. I would just like an end to the monotony of gym leaders with nothing but poor sweepers and trash movesets, which are only excusable early on.

I think he was referring to Madnug's idea with the Staraptor.

Nerdster312 December 26th, 2008 8:48 AM

I'm sorry it's taken me quite a long time to get back on here. TT_TT

BUT! I'm liking a majority of your ideas here people! I was planning on doing a little in game training before we ever got to the first gym leader anyhow with maybe a "training dojo" as a pre-requisite before ever going to a "real" gym anyhow... just an idea... so, h Poke, i like your idea of the first gym leader having their pokemon as least lvl 20 and not a single level under that :)

-[JD]-, I like your idea of twins/duo gym leaders and might ask for your permission to use your idea :D Hope you don't mind!

I also notice that dark and pyschic types would be nice, but somewhat common to me... also have a bug gym leader again in the games again... hmm... let me pull some ideas together and post them later ok? Thanks to all who have posted so far! :) Maybe some others might post some more! ( Just wishing... >_< )

Jumpluff, Level 50 . Giga Drain / Leech Seed / Stun Spore / Poison Powder

Ikwaylx December 29th, 2008 8:42 AM

I have an idea for you

Shadlynn (Female.)
Dark type master
Gimmick: - Likes to make your attacks miss! This represents blindness in darkness. However, when you switch out to fix the accuracy lowering of the first 2 pokemon: BOOM! They counter with pursuit!
4th badge

Pokemon:

Sableye
Level 29
Pursuit
Bite
Shadow Ball
Flash

Murkrow
Level 31
Pursuit
Wing Attack
Faint Attack
Sand Attack

Sneasel
Level 31
Baton Pass
Swords Dance
Double Team
Slash

Absol
Level 33
Swords Dance
Extreme Speed
Double Team
Double Edge


Hope this is a good idea, there aren't any dark type gyms, so it'd be a fresh idea for a gym.

thatrabidfangirl December 29th, 2008 7:35 PM

Gym Leader Avis
I mean, I just sorta like bird Pokemon, like, they're cool. Um, we better battle if you want this badge...

Pokemon:

Lv 35 Swablu

If it helps, and wasn't obvious before, Avis is the fairly awkward teenaer type. Anyway, just some ideas ^^
