Pokemon Gyms in Johto are Type Matched???
 
Through my epic journey through johto ive come to notice that most of the gyms are type matched
falkners flying types are good against bugsy (bug)
idk about bugsy and winrey (normal)
winrey could give morton and his ghost types a run for their money
morton (ghost) could defeat chuck (fighting)by type match
chuck is type matched against the steel type leader
the steel leader could be type matched against the ice type gym
and the ice type is type matched against the dragon type

o wow
i didnt really notice that
only thing thats missing is the connection between the 2 and 3 gyms =/

Toxicroak April 26th, 2010 9:47 PM

Since whitney's miltank is obviously a girl and has the ability scrapy it can hit ghosts, and all morty's pokemon are male.

Impo April 26th, 2010 9:55 PM

that is so cool :P
but my team bet them all :D

TrilbyMenetti April 27th, 2010 12:59 AM

Yeah I kind of noticed that too, particularly with Falkner and Bugsy. :D

TrilbyMenetti April 27th, 2010 1:06 AM

Also, if you look at Kanto's Gyms, Brock is weak to Misty and Misty and weak to Lt. Surge and Lt. Surge would have some trouble from Erika. :D

And in Hoenn, Roxanne would struggle against Brawly. :D

myrrh25 April 27th, 2010 1:09 AM

My mind is full of f***!

How did I never notice this before? My brain is screwed up..

Raikt April 27th, 2010 1:24 AM

I noticed that too. I thought it was pretty clever. Bugsy wouldn't have an advantage, per say, against Whittney, but with Focus Energy + U-Turn, it could hurt. It could just U-Turn right out of the attract. It can't be flinch haxed, because it's faster, and I'm pretty sure a critical hit U-Turn would severely dent Miltank.

Gamefreaked April 27th, 2010 6:35 AM

Sure Bugsy could beat Whitney if it was up to that, but that still defeats the type setting challenge, which to me kind defeats the theory. If Gamefreak were to do the type matchups they'd at least try to arrange it better.

I didn't notice it either =/
Yeah, unless one of Bugys pokemon get a fighting type attack, they aren't all matched up =/

RuRuBell April 27th, 2010 7:37 AM

Oh wow, I never noticed that. That's pretty clever!

MrGhost April 27th, 2010 2:39 PM

Interesting.
I never saw this... Kind of a nifty thing to think about.

560cool. April 28th, 2010 11:00 AM

Most of the gyms have it ... in most regions .

Johto has it over all the gyms, while in Sinnoh (Gardenia > Roark, Byron > [icegymforgotnamefail] ) ... it's to show that they can beat each other around ... >_<

Quite easy to see. But it's still a revellation !

Raikt April 28th, 2010 11:26 AM

It's true that the other regions have it as well;

Blaine > Koga > Sabrina > Erika > Lt. Surge > Misty > Brock > Blaine

It comes full circle.

Flare Riqueza April 28th, 2010 12:17 PM

That doesn't make a circle at all:

Giovanni < Blaine,Koga,Brock,Lt.Surge
Blaine < Erika
Sabrina < Koga
Koga < ?????
Erika < Giovanni, Misty, Brock
Lt. Surge < Misty
Misty < Giovanni, Blaine, Brock
Brock < Blaine, Koga (via Ground secondary typing), Lt. Surge (via Ground secondary typing)

And the Elite Four:

Lorelei < Bruno < Agatha (via. Immunity) < Lance (Via Agatha's weak defenses) < Green (via. the fact that he's Champion)
Lorelei > Lance


Jack Kentnon April 28th, 2010 12:31 PM

Oh, I thought... well nevermind that....

But uh, yeah. Never noticed that before. That's a rather clever discovery.

umbreon_4_life April 28th, 2010 3:43 PM

Huh. That's neat. I've never noticed that before! XD BTW, I hope you know that you (NickOfTime) misspelled some of the gym leaders' names wrong! XD LOL!

Koga is poison so it would be:

Koga>Erika
Koga<sabrina

and I noticed Sinnoh is on par with johto:

Falkner < Roark
Bugsy > Gardenia
Whitney < Maylene
Morty = Wake
Chuck < Fantina
Jasmine = Byron
Pryce = Candice
Clair > Volkner

I dunno thats just something neat I noticed

hyperblast81 April 28th, 2010 4:34 PM

Sorry for the semi profanity... just a warning: If you are sensitive turn back now..:






HOW IN THE NAME OF F*** DID I NEVER ****ING NOTICE THIS SOONER!!!

Of course there are going to be some discrepancies. I doubt they would ever make a pure, perfectly balanced Gym Leader circle. Plus, I never stated it was sheer type advantage, though most of them are. Plus, did I not point out a circle? Just because they go can in another order doesn't mean the circle does not exist.

That's like saying a square is never a square because if you add something to it, it could be a rectangle. :<

Shiny Heracross April 28th, 2010 9:17 PM

That's pure genius.

- filler (: -

Wings Don't Cry April 28th, 2010 9:24 PM

Your theory is quite flawed actually. You should have ended after the second GYM and Whitney would not give trouble to Morty as you would think as they are both neutral to each other however Morty's Pokemon know Hypnosis and his Gengar with a humongous special attack and speed would slaughter Whitney with Dream Eater.

Morty's gengar doesn't have dream eater. Plus I think Miltank could take down a couple of morty's ghosts but the numbers would just over power her.

yummoon April 30th, 2010 2:26 PM

cant believe i didnt notice this O_o

here is my rebuttle YOUR FREAKING FLAWED burned charmillionare style =P

actually morty kills all of his pokemon with curse so that isnt a problem.... Rollout would destroy mortys ghost types and since all of his pokemon are....you know male (they have dongs) attract would smack them up
also if my theory is "quite flawed" as you have said then y are 6 out of the 8 gyms type matched (ill give you morty)
in case you haven't noticed 3/4 is a majority
Kthxbai
P.S. as the guy said above miltank = great def and morty only has one threat.... stab shadow ball, which doesnt affect normal types, miltank can heal with milk drink and totally win

Left4Dead May 1st, 2010 4:49 AM

Yeah Whitney is the one that ruins it all haha, but you know how there were two new types brought in for gold and silver? If only Whitney had been a dark type gym leader then it would have been a full link. Unless I'm wrong in saying that bug is super effective against dark?

NickofTime May 1st, 2010 7:38 AM

Whitney kinda ruins it but if you read my above comment you know that 7/8 gym leaders being type matched is kinda wierd and crazy

Nothing is perfect in this world and nintendo is no different
oh yeah just because one gym leader doesnt fit in doesnt mean my theory is off...
my original post said MOST GYM LEADERS
