normal, ground, ice, dark, and definitly grass type gyms. i always thought the gym leaders should have 6 pokemon each so i wish they would do that in these games

Ralfisme June 20th, 2010 2:20 AM

Wel as for the new footage it apears that the honey building is a gym, Pokebeach even goes as far as stating it's the first one. What do you guys think?

What genders each gym leader could be:
Poison: Guy

Bug: Girl (Girls can like bugs, too.) Her name can be Ariana and her hair could be in pigtails.
Flying: Male or female (since we've already had one of each.)
Dragon: Male (we already had a female one, so male)
Fighting: A guy (Chuck & Maylene, Maylene was previous gen, so a guy this time)
Ground: Girl
Psychic: Guy

Maybe an E4 member could use Electric pokemon. She could be a guitarist. ^_^

I also agree with Dillon_68

who said:

Possible genders for the types you listed:

Normal: Girl (Whitney & Norman)
Fire: Guy (Pokabu evo)
Ground: Girl (can have Donphan)
Ice: Guy
Dark: Girl
Ghost: Guy (Morty & Fantina)
Flying: Guy (Falkner & Winona, guy this time)
Bug: Girl --Ariana
Poison: Guy (Koga & Janine)
Dragon: Guy (Clair was the only one, so guy this time.)

No one cares about the freaking Genders...BTW the Electric E4 guy playing guitar...isn't that Volkner...but in the E4...and Dragon shouldn't be the 8th gym again...everyone of them should be new...Except maybe the first but its over played...

1st Gym: Shouldn't be Rock, Flying, Rock Again, or Rock Again Again
2nd Gym: Shouldn't be Water, Bug, Fighting, or Grass
3rd Gym: Shouldn't be Electric, Normal, Electric Again, or Fighting
4th Gym: Shouldn't be Grass, Ghost, Fire, Water
5th Gym: Shouldn't be Poison, Fighting, Normal, Ghost
6th Gym: Shouldn't be Psychic, Steel, Flying, Steel Again
7th Gym: Shouldn't be Fire, Ice, Psychic, Ice Again
8th Gym: Shouldn't be Ground, Dragon, Water, Electric

So Yeah...New Gyms Would Hopefully Be...

1st Gym: Normal
2nd Gym: Fire
3rd Gym: Grass
4th Gym: Water
5th Gym: Electric
6th Gym: Fighting
7th Gym: Steel
8th Gym: Dark

Worse Case...

1st Gym: Rock
2nd Gym: Bug
3rd Gym: Electric
4th Gym: Ghost
5th Gym: Normal
6th Gym: Steel
7th Gym: Ice
8th Gym: Dragon

Actually Even Worse...

1st Gym: Dragon
2nd Gym: Dragon
3rd Gym: Dragon
4th Gym: Dragon
5th Gym: Dragon
6th Gym: Dragon
7th Gym: Dragon
8th Gym: Dragon

Same Gym...You just fight em 8 times...Ouch

Also What If The 1st Or Last Gym Leader Was Your Mom? Like The One That Saves Money For You...Not Like Norman (Dad...) Where You Have Both Parents But When You Have Just Your Mom And She Is The First Or Last Gym Leader (Last Would Be Funny...Beat Mom Go To E4)

Orinjmate June 20th, 2010 7:42 AM

What I'd like to see:-
dark
flying
fire
ice

Tyranitzar June 20th, 2010 8:50 AM

I think it's time that some of the gyms move beyond the boring monotypes. Instead, there should be gym leaders who prefers different types of tactics. A gym with, let's say, incredibly fast pokemon, regardless of type, preferably one of the last leaders. In addition he/she will use speedy moves, like Extremespeed, Aerial Ace, Agility, moves that reduce the speed of opponents and so on.

XxRogueTrainerxX June 20th, 2010 10:45 AM

I made up a list of gym types not too long ago and the leaders' genders (boredom :D). Maybe the developers will give us something new.
Here they are:

1st Gym: Normal (Male)
2nd Gym: Water (Female)
3rd Gym: Fighting (Male)
4th Gym: Ground (Male)
5th Gym: Ice (Female)
6th Gym: Dark (Female)
7th Gym: Rock (Male)
8th Gym: Ghost (Female)

Elite Four:
1st Opponent: Poison (Male)
2nd Opponent: Fire (Male)
3rd Opponent: Dragon (Female)
4th Opponent: Steel (Female)
Champion: A mix of several types (Male)

(such as an electric gym leader using a water type to deal with n00bs that think they can wall him with a ground-type, and possibly set up a rain dance/thunder combo or something).

I would actually like to see this in full swing. Perhaps we could even have a troll Gym leader who says he uses Electric types, but actually has a full team of Water and Grass types.

I for one would laugh my ass off.

Storm_has_formed June 20th, 2010 12:49 PM

i loved the Blaine and Blue battles in HGSS, because they used strategies. As long as that happens, and they actually use switch outs(i seriously mean it!!!) it will be great :)

~Wind~ June 20th, 2010 12:51 PM

Why is everyone saying the only dark trainer was karen?
YOU'RE ALL FORGETTING POOR SIDNEY!!! T~T
He was what a dark gym leader should be like, just without that awful hairstyle.
And the Dark gym leader should use Absol!
*gunshot*

[email protected]@N !$ HERE June 20th, 2010 1:30 PM

I think there should be a dark type and a8th gym leader to have have any types to keep the player on his toes

Nikorasu June 20th, 2010 1:31 PM

Hmm, gyms should have a bigger storyline. The leaders shouldnt just be stuck in that gym.

Maybe like other games, for instance you might have to help a gym leader do something?
Or even you have to find them. meh xD

Planetes. June 20th, 2010 3:34 PM

I think this will be the order of the gym's

1-Bug
2-Steel (They'll prob. have the gear.
3-Electric (they did it twice they'll do it again *cough* rock gym)
4-Either, Ground or Dark. But they'll use Meguroko
5-Fighting
6-Psychic
7-Rock
8-Dark (they've never had one)

and please god no D and P where the E4/GL's didn't have enough PKMN of their type so they all had to use freaking Medichams and Steelixes.

oh and the E4 would be
what It think the names will be is to the right


1-Fire, maybe Ignacio or something flamboyant
2-Grass-Fernando, Fern, Verne?
3-Psychic, because we all know Munna has an evo ready to annoy the crap out of us. The Psychic Lady's name might by Zena, Leah, or Espia
4-Ice, maybe Frio, or Cole?

RYOUKI June 20th, 2010 9:30 PM

Actually, the only thing I'd want is that the Gym Leaders isn't cooped up inside their gyms. Like in D/P/Pt where every gym leader go out of their gyms once or twice.

Though for typing and the gym leader's gender, I want it to be a contradiction of some sort. Like, a goth-loli character who uses normal types, and a male grass-type gym leader.

Hypno June 20th, 2010 10:19 PM

A badass like Giovanni or Blue.
Also a Gym that let's you fight him near the beginning but has super powerful pokemon and you won't be able to obtain that badge... ever. kinda like the first season of the anime.

SargeantMajorKururu June 20th, 2010 10:31 PM

Hmmm...
 
What about a strange first Gym? Like the first Gym has like Poison or Electric or maybe even Psychic? I think that would be really cool, just to mix things up.

LEADER 4CHAN is going to send out MUDKIP. Would you like to change Pokemon?

LEADER 4CHAN sent out RICK ASTLEY!

"We're no strangers to love..."

cystar June 21st, 2010 2:59 AM

I hope all the elite 4 are multi typed

Blackhebrew2 June 21st, 2010 4:05 AM

I just want a challenge. Not a walkover like all the last gyms.

Aberash June 26th, 2010 6:49 PM

what type of gym leader are you hoping / not see in the new games?
 
Personaly i hope there will be a dark type gym leader. And it is obvious that there will be a water type gym leader. I do not want to see a normal type gym leader.

redsaber5859 June 26th, 2010 6:53 PM

I thought Norman was a good leader, his slaking was pawnage and stuff too, I personally want to OWN a gym, and get to design it and the trainers, you would unlock different leveled trainers in your gym as you get farther, kinda like the secret bases in dppt, I dunno, good thread, try to keep it alive :)

I like nortan . I just don't like hg/ss normal gym leader. It would be cool to design the trainer and stuff. I like that idea acualy i would love to design my own trainer. Thanks just small idea i had.
I would love to see another ghost gym leader. (I love ghost and dark type pokemon)

Haza June 26th, 2010 7:03 PM

I'm hoping for another male Poison-Type gym leader, maybe a crazed doctor or a guy obsessed with pollution.

Spotty June 26th, 2010 8:05 PM

I'm personally hoping for another flying gym. And a fire one, hopefully giving out more fire types than the other generations have. Electric has also been a personal favorite of mine, so I'm looking forward to that. Dark would be an excellent gym, and bug would be win.

Bloothump June 26th, 2010 8:10 PM

@Spotted

There's a lot of evidence in this game for a bug type gym.

HugSomebody June 26th, 2010 8:23 PM

I'll be slightly disappointed if there's another Rock type gym leader, especially if he or she is the first gym leader. ^^; Again.

I'd adore a Dark type gym! It'd be cool if the gym would only appear to you at night hours, in the darkness.

Bloothump June 26th, 2010 8:32 PM

I'd like to see a very energetic, zany, crazy girl as a gym leader. Like, a girl that talks so fast the text box actually moves very rapidly (almost too fast for you to read) ffor a while. I think it'd be pretty funny. Specialize in speed based pokemon?

Planetes. June 26th, 2010 8:44 PM

I'd like a Psychic gym, that uses munna.

Karel_Kazuki June 26th, 2010 9:23 PM

I'd like to see another double battle leader.That was cool back in 3rd Gen
.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 26th, 2010 9:30 PM

Well these games have the same theme as Ruby and Sapphire did...Yin and Yang so why not another double gym, this time let's hope it's dark ;)

インフェルノの津波 June 26th, 2010 9:39 PM

I would hope for a Dark Gym first, so Trainers get to actually use their Bug-Type Pokemon in a Gym.

Angelroid June 26th, 2010 9:41 PM

Whatever, They give us. I'll be happy with it.

End of story.

But the first bugs you find at the start of the game are usually caterpillar like bugs! so most won't be used anyways :(, unless you evolve your caterpillar pokemon ;)

インフェルノの津波 June 26th, 2010 9:56 PM

Yeah, and don't most of them evolve by level 10, strong enough to fight a Gym?

Yeah but what about moves... maybe yours will have bug bite instead or another new bug move :P

Jaiyke June 26th, 2010 10:45 PM

Maybe a Ground Type gym leader?... haven't had that in a while =D
i honestly Don't want a water gym...

PrinceBlackheart June 27th, 2010 4:20 AM

I want to see a dark type gym.Haven't seen a lot of those.

Ruin Maniac June 27th, 2010 7:07 AM

I liked in the third Gen when you had a double battle against the seventh gym leader

They should do that in Black and White, but the two gym leaders should have different types to complement each other i.e: fire and Water

Kid Ghandi June 27th, 2010 7:21 AM

Here's what I think the gym order should be:
-Normal, as it can be easily defeated by any of the three starters.
-Electric, so we can see the new Pokemon "Gear" in action
-Steel, As the trainer's challenge
-Ice, just to put three there
-Psychic, to rival a dark type gym
-Dark, to rival the psychic gym
-Fire
-Dragon

PaxAmericana June 27th, 2010 7:45 AM

My gym leader list goes like this

1:Bug
2:Ground
3:Poison
4:Steel (no steelix though)
5:Rock
6:Dragon
7:Dark
8:Fire

Weavile05 June 27th, 2010 7:55 AM

My other idea was to make gyms part of the terrain, so instead of having to enter a building you have to climb a mountain!! Wild pokemon battle included!! That way you could even return to the gym to train!![/QUOTE]
They did something sorta like that i HGSS when blain's gym was destroyed by a volcano so they momentarily put it in seafoam cave.
I agree with everyone supporting a dark type gym. The dragon type gym is a good idea, but it needs to be at a point in the game where you have access to ice and steel types besides the starters if one evolves into one of these types. If not, then it would be the hardest gym in pokemon history

TheLegendaryMew June 27th, 2010 8:59 AM

has there even been a fire type gym in any of the gens? Not that i can think of but i may be wrong. If not then a fire type gym would deffo be a great idea. Also would to see a dark type gym and possibly another flying one.

Blaine from Kanto and Flannery from Hoenn were Fire type gyms

Fire and Electric gym would be the final gym? that would be epic... but what if somewhere we had a triple gym? with triplets as the gym leaders? Like the Cerulean Sisters but with all 3 of them :)

You guys really should look at the map to determine what leader's types will be and in what order it makes more sense then randomly yelling out types...

Charmageddon June 28th, 2010 7:09 AM

With 3-on-3 battles announced, I think we will probably see a Triple gym leader in order to promote the new system, just like Tate and Liza promoting double battles in Gen III.

Also I agree with a few others here that the gym leaders should have more prominent roles in the game. It is pretty boring that you go in the gym battle the leader and thats that.

the first gym should be the dragon type :p

I can certainly see that happen. I'm hoping they weren't like Tate and Liza were (twins, I believe?) and not triplets. Maybe something along the lines of three really annoying and hyper best friends. You know? The type of girls that get so excited about things, scream, jump, etc. One of the things I see lacking from a lot of gym leaders are emotion. Most of the gym leaders I find to be involved with the story line (apart from just being someone in their gym and you battling them once and never see them again) are the most forgettable, yet they're the ones who really show personality with just being outside of the gym.

I really hope they introduce a broader spectrum of gym leaders - not just gym leaders who appear to be between x - x with age. I hope they involve some sort of difficulty in it. With each generation (not the remakes) I noticed the gym leaders did get more challenging, but I'm hoping they add a little bit of S&M in there to make some of the leaders real hard.

Aside from a 3 on 3 gym, I don't think I can really speculate on the types of gyms that could be included. Seems a bit much - but I have to say that I agree with everyone else. I'm tired of rock gyms being first - or there at all. I hope they put an end to it in this generation.

arceus123shiny April 6th, 2011 9:22 PM

I thought the new gym leaders would have more than 3 pokemon and they would be a little harder to beat that way the games would be more challenging and I wouldn't have to finish it in 2 or 3 days.

Ho-Oh April 7th, 2011 7:49 AM

...so it took me a few hours to notice, oh well! :x

Please don't revive threads that haven't had posts for over 30 days. And this one hasn't had posts for like 10 months :(
