Gym & Gym Leaders Discussion
So we know about two gym leaders so far:
Update: Quote:
|
Well Aloe is rumored to be steel from what I read from the rumor thread. She's also rumored to be water and grass.
Pokebeach: Quote:
|
Aloe seems like she would be Grass, imo, because Aloe is a flower/plant thing.
|
so people who dont know who she is know who she is.
I think that raising the issue of questioning the presentation of such things is more racist than presenting them. if you draw attention to it, more people are going to complain. Hence. ferme bouche. I think Dento will be Bug and that aloe will be grass (aloe vera) :D |
Aloe is also an african plant, possibly referring to her ethnicity. I think she's either rock or steel based on the PokeBeach article (also posted a few posts above me)
|
Quote:
I think she's a grass-type. I dunno why. It seems like it. Since her name means African-flower. (Where did I read that again?) |
Quote:
Yeah it does, you probably read it in the Aloe thread :) |
I'm pretty surprised Dento is the first gym leader you'll face in the games. At least we know a bit what role he plays in the games, though. Shall be interesting though the older protagonist(s) will be going against a gym leader younger than you (this is assuming Dento is 10/11 if going by the anime). As for Aloe, already stated it's good her being gym leader shed some light on what her role will be in the games.
|
From the moment I saw dento in the anime preview I knew/thought he was a gym leader.
Prob. because of the lamp going on. and him being all smug after that. the preview |
Dento is my fav anime character, I will be piiiissed if he is bug, but yeah Aloe will definetly be grass, and don't forget the rumored electric gym in the amusement park
|
Just saying, we still need a Dark type gym leader....
I had a feeling that since aloe and dento were released so early they'd be early gym leaders/early encounters. |
Thats cool that Dento is the first gym leader,I was hoping he was going to have some part in the game :)
and Aloe being the second gym leader is great news too. I think Dento is going to be Bug or Ground and Aloe might be Grass. |
Aloe isnt dressed for Grass types, plus her outfit doesnt hint at grass like all the other grass users, shes dark typed :)
Dento.... Grass,or Bug :) if hes the first, then ill go YES! no more Rock type first XD Quote:
i know real life bugs are disgustin, totally epic fail creations, but bug pokemon are awesome :) |
Quote:
Im sorry, just what i first thought. |
For the love of god, there better be a Dark-type gym leader. :cer_pissed:
|
Hmmm, this is actually quite interesting since this is the first gym leader of a region to travel with Ash since the first generation. Don't forget that they said that the games will have all new original Pokemon instead of rehashings old ones so I have high hopes for this generation. As for the types I believe Dento will be either a Normal or Dark type Gym Leader. If he's the 1st Gym Leader I don't think they'd do something so awesome as a rollercoaster theme park gym at the beginning of the game.
As for Aloe, most likely grass or rock, mostly grass. |
It would be horrible if she was a Dark type Gym Leader.
js I think she'll be grass. :3 |
If Dento is first, would it make sense for him to be a rock or steel type user? It seems that most of the games have started with a gym type that is resistant to normal-type attacks.
|
Hmmm by the looks of Aloes outfit, she seems to me like a normal type trainer, but grass type looks promising too. I actually wouldnt like to see a dark type gym :P
As for Dento, he seems to be a waiter or something so that could hint to his type |
I think that Dento will be a bug type gym and that he has that new cute kurumiru on his team ;p
|
Her name obviously suggests she is a grass type gym leader, but she isn't dressed/looks like one and the city Shippou doesn't sou)nd like a very grass loving place (or is that the Jap name still? If so what does it mean? Compared to all the previous Grass Gymleaders. She could possibly be steel, as she looks like a person who would train steel pokemon.
|
You can't always go with a city's environments for gym types. Celadon City may have been green but it was an urban area. Eterna City wasn't very green at all. It's only reference to grass was really the nearby forest. Erika doesn't "look" like a Grass-user. The idea of a Grass Gym for her was centered around the Japanese art of flower arranging. For all we know Aloe could work in a greenhouse.
And in Japan, many important Pokemon characters are named after plants. I think Dento will be a Normal leader or Bug, because of his hair color and clothing accents. As for Aloe... I'd love a Grass Gym Leader, but I'm not so sure that's her signature type. |
Dento could be a normal type, and I'm guessing Aloe is a grass type because of her name.
|
Quote:
Like the grass gym leaders mostly look greenish or have gardening clothes on. Water gym leaders have swimsuits on. Fighting gym leaders are bulky or stand in a fighting pose. etc. Aloe could be anything. As for Dento... I think normal/ or psychic. |
My vote with Dento is going to be normal/ psychic. oAo
I cannot see him using a bug type... |

Here's a little something I made a few months back:
http://a.imageshack.us/img819/7357/gymleaders.png Just look at all them gym leaders :rambo: You gotta admit that most of those gym leaders dress up as their type. Now here's Aloe & Dento: http://a.imageshack.us/img34/139/dentoy.jpghttp://a.imageshack.us/img529/1230/aloe.jpg |
Quote:
Does anyone know what Dento means in Japanese? |
maby they stop using mono type gyms i mean look at dento's badge you can't really make any type of it
|
Dento might be electric from what I've seen in the preview he seems to have an "electric personality" :P
no but seriously I could see him using electric types. Guys, just noticed this but, Aloe is wearing an apron and Dento is dressed like a waiter, battle restaurants anyone. (jk) It is confirmed Gyms" could be gone, the building of course. Lhttp://pokebeach.com/news/0810/corocoro/corocoro-pages-10-11.jpgLook, you are fighting Aloe in her trainers school and Dento in his castle, this is one of the best things to happen to Pokemon, NO MORE "GYM BUILDINGS" |

I swear if Dento is Rock Type I'll be dreading that gym.
I'm sick and tired of Rock Gyms, atleast as the first gym anyway. Come on Nintendo! Mix it up and put Rock last! Here's some types Dento could be according to a pattern I thought up. Grass, Fire, Water, Rock(please no!), Ground, Flying, Bug, Electric(if it's going to be first gym it needs more weaknesses, or a ground type available before this gym), and Poison How did I figure this? Most of the first gym's types have been supereffective against atleast ONE starter. Brock/Roxanne/Roark was supereffective against fire. Falkner was super effective against Grass I would want a Grass or Electric type because we haven't had any first gyms supereffective against water yet. Preferably grass, since electric has only one weakness: Ground. |

EVERYONE!!!!
According to Serebii you have to answer questions about type advantages in Dento's Gym, I AM NOW CONVINCED he is "Poly-Type" and he might use the 3 starters. |
Dento is just... *Melts* He looks epicness with green hair.
I also think he is a bug type leader =/... His hair reminds me of that one Elite 4 member in Sinnoh... What was his name? I would love him to be a Normal type trainer, though Oh, and Aloe's clothes look so suitable for gardening... I wouldn't be surprised if she was a grass type leader. |
Quote:
|
I think Dento might be a Normal Type Gym Leader, or maybe Steel, like cutlery. Since he's a waiter.
Aloe is definitely Psychic. Whether she's into arts or a teacher, Psychic types are artistic and smart. Names also mean nothing, well her name will be changed in English anyway :P |
Quote:
|
Usually the names are a good sign of what the gym type will be.
Dento could be a traditional rock or possibly a steel type given that steel types are the only ones that could possibly be "dented" since there is no real translation for that name Aloe is a huge giveaway that she probably is a grass type gym leader. All grass type gym leaders have been female, more than likely, she's going to be one the grass type gym leader for this region. Hoping for another fire-type gym. so far, the trend has been on the odd generation i.e. kanto being the 1st and Hoenn being the 3rd gen fire type. More than likely we will given the amount of fire types released so far |
Hmm... I JUST noticed that Dento is a "Pokémon wine taster" whatever that means O.o
Also, "he seems to have a lot of knowledge on Pokémon" Wonder what that tells us O.o... |
Quote:

I think dento will be bug type but i would like him to be dark or ghost.
|
Some other clues to the gym leaders type are their clothing...sometimes their type is the opposite (Candace) of what they wear she wears summer like clothing but she is an Ice gym leader, then their is the traditional clothing that is a sure give away (all the electric gym leader wear military clothing according to the trivia in Bulbapedia under "Electric type)

If Dento happens to be a rock type gym leader I won't be surprised. :\ Sadly, they've done it every time and I'd like to see a change since so far, Black and White is starting things off fresh with no other generation pokémon being in the game until most likely after the national dex. If they put in a different type for the 1st gym leader, I'm sure a lot of people are going to start getting more interested in this game. I mean it'll be a little thing, but apparently it counts for a lot. xD; The building looks really epic. I'm glad they are changing it up a bit and not have it be so the same. |
[jq]The “puzzle” in both of these Gyms are quizes. Dento’s quizes are about Pokemon type compadibility (such as “fire vs. water. who would win?”) You have to step on tiles to submit your answer. Aloe’s quiz is not Pokemon related at all and is more about food.[/jq]
From PokeJungle. I lol'd at the food part. |
Dento's tri-colored badge and his questions about type match-ups makes me agree with whoever suggested he is multi-type and uses the three starters.
As for Aloe, I'm thinking Grass since 1) her name is a plant, and 2) she is a chef, and the only type I can think of going with that is Grass because chefs work with vegetables. |
@cyberglass that would be me, thanks for agreeing, and I agree with you as well that Aloe will be grass
|
Well a multi type gym as the first gym sounds cool, I hope it comes true :)
|
i demand Dento having Dragon types!!! It would be an awesome challenge
Note that I'm not being serious :) |

Quote:
Well, Aloe could be fire? KANTO:Water second SINNOH: Grass second We need a fire gym |
I personally think Dento will either be Bug because his hair looks very similar to Aaron's hair or monotype as shown by the tri-colored badge.
Aroe, I think she looks Grass but I also think Rock and Steel would be possibilities |
For some reason, I think Dento will be either Rock or Normal, and Aloe is obviously another Grass Gym Leader.
The only think that surprised me is Aloe's puzzle: you have to answer questions based on food. That's the weirdest idea for a Gym puzzle. It's possible it won't be bad, but it's still weird. |
Lol, on the each answer wrong, there will be 5 lvls added to each member of her team ^_^... I wish
|
That could be a pain for me because I will choose Mijumaru (the Water Starter).
|
Quote:
|
I think the most likely types for Dento to be are Steel, Normal, Rock, or psychic, or multitype :)

i really want a dark type gym
|
I really want some less likable gym leaders. In the anime they are always these noble, happy people. I want someone who is dark, twisted, or egotistical to the point that it annoys Ash.
|
Quote:
|
I Think Aloe, will be Fire type,
She's a Chef which relates to Fire in a way >.< Also her questions are about Food D; Also Brandon wasnt Dark or Twisted he was just a good battler who kept beating Ash so it made him Annoyed... But I hope there is someone like that.. |
Stupid DBE always strikes when I'm making posts.
Anyway, I was saying that if Aloe is a Fire-type trainer, I'd find it funny if her English name was Blanch. And that I could see that be her name regardless. |
Dento makes me think he'll specialize in Electric Pokemon since he has the 'den' at the beginning of his name (like Volkner's Japanese name) and electric is 'denki' in Japanese. It could just be a name though.
|
Aloe just screams grass type. And Dento...hmm...maybe steel?
|
Steel would be too hard for the first Gym. Maybe Normal?
|
1. Dento: he's a sommelier right? wine = grapes = vines = grass? Is it possible his gym badge is some sort of wine key? The multi-type thing is even better since sommeliers know about different types of wines and how to match types of foods with wines.
2. Aloe: I like the fire type association with cooking. Grass is a runner as well due to her name even though IIRC in Japanese all of the gym leaders have had plant names... Note that what a gym leader dresses like has more to do with their profession first than their type. Some don't look anything like their "type" apart from their palletes, objects, or effects. Speculation: honeycomb: bug? yellow hiun city building: electric? roller coaster: dark? We need a poison, flying, and a ground gym, mang. |
I like that they're making gyms more diverse than just plain old buildings. And Gym leaders are always obvious to know their type in the ENGLISH name, not so much Japanese because of translation and stuff unless you are fluent in JApanese they might refer to the type. But I just don't like so far the puzzles released are both quiz type things. BORING! Where's the fun puzzle? I really hope the amusement park does serve as a gym! :D

I just hope theres a Dark-type gym for once, like around the 6/7/8th Gym possibly?
|
I dont think eather will be rock theres to many early rock gyms

wow if he was really Electric he would be the first Electric gym leader who doesn't wear "Military" related gear...

Something nobody's considered:
Aloe (the plant) has a silent E. It's pronounced like Joe or Moe. Aloe (the gym leader)... look at the katakana. Her name is pronounced A-ro-e. The E is sounded out. |
Look at Dento...
He looks calm. I'd put money on it that he's grass, bug, or psychic. Look at Aloe... I think she'll be electric, fire, or normal. Maybe even ice. Because i'd imagine her pokemon would be family pokemon helping with the housework or whatever. So I'd guess normal. |
@ above; normal type would be nice, but I just don't see it. I don't want her to be grass like people think; I want her to be less obvious.
As for ice, that might be a little unlikely, considering Jynx is ice-type, etc legal stuff. |
Quote:
I bet that Aloe has tabunne and is a normal type trainer |
...well, not that it's my opinion, it's... just yeah how people will react. XD
But oooh, -if- Tabuune is real (was it even confirmed as 100% real yet? I know people were saying it wasn't as far as rumours go) then yeah I agree. |
Quote:
The second one I've bolded - If bugs didn't exist, you wouldn't. Ever heard of the food chain? Probably not.... |
Quote:
|
It might be silly, but I don't think Game Freak/Nintendo/Pokemon enjoys getting complaints :x
I do think we'll probably have a male ice-type gym leader though, for some reason. |
Quote:
|
^thats actually sort of true.
I think we need a Jynx evo btw, Mag and Buzz got one. If we get a male ice leader his name will prob be cole. |
Quote:
Yeah it does need one to match the other two but the same goes for Pinsir, Banette,etc. :) |
Heracross should get an evolution if Pinsir does. And who wants another Gym with a double battle? Or maybe even a triple battle now tht those are out? With Liza and Tate I liked the challenge but also it kinda helped having a double battle. It was different! :D
|

Something I'd like to see back with the Gym Leaders is being able to have a rematch with them. This happened in Pokémon Emerald and was very fun and handy; especially since they grew higher levels after a rematch. If they bring this back with the Gym Leaders in Black and White that will help bring more great activity towards the game. I for one will be even more excited as well. owo;
As for the poll between Aloe and Dento (rhyming names xD) I find myself leaning more towards Dento. The design of his gym too; it's really fascinating. |
I did kinda like HG/SS's rematch thing, cus you got to see the leaders outside of the gym which was fun. I just hated that their schedule was so tight though! And for triplets... I would think normal, or if there are multi-type gyms, maybe a grass-fire-water combo. Though for your gym rematch you should have a choice--single, double, or triple. Maybe even tag-team battles, where you get a gym leader on your side!
|
gym 1- Denton [insert type here(Grass,or Bug IMO)]
gym 2 [until stated otherwise] - Aloe [insert type here(Fire,or Dark IMO)] gym 3 - Mixed Types, triple battle gym 4 - Water type, double battle (for ironic purposes :P) gym 5 - Dark is a must. gym 6 - Psychic, Rollercoaster IF its actually a gym (doubt it) gym 7 - Team up with Rival(s) just cuz itd be kinda interestin to see the rival(s) be more involved with the storyline gym 8 - Rock, no more Rock as first, time for an evil Rock gym worthy of being our opponent :D |

Having a Dark Type for the Second Gym would be redundant to say the least. I mean, how many Dark moves does a Pokemon learn at say Level 20? Not many I'd imagine xD
If they do have a Dark Gym, I would assume it be likely higher in the roster, maybe even as an 8th Gym. As for my theories, I think Dento is Normal Type. Normal is a good starting type, and look at him! xD He's a Pokemon Waiter that surveys compatibility between trainers and Pokes. I dunno, I just honestly get the Normal vibe from him. Though I could be totally wrong. As for Aloe, no clue! She cooks, and she's in a city with museums and history. I would think perhaps Rock, but her whole cooking thing throws me off. What also confuses me is the lack of leaning toward specific Types in the setup of the Gyms and their appearance. Maybe we're all completely wrong and Isshu doesn't have Type-based Leaders xD We'll see~ |
Aloe- Grass(maybe)
Dento- Dark(maybe) |

Other than that, I'm still waiting on a child leader. Before you say it, no Tate and Liza do not count, because I'm talking one as young as the the Twins or PokeKid trainer class. Or, at the very least, a frontier brain. One in charge of a Battle Factory would make sense. Dento is first, right? I'm expecting Normal. From Aloe, it should either be Grass or Fire. |
I think Dento will be a Bug-type. I dunno why xD
|
I'm just wonderin... since dento is referred to as the "brock" of Ishuu (first gym leader and travels with anime) then do you think Iris is a gym leader, since Misty was, and the female character not being in the anime? And maybe, if she's not a leader, could her darker skin be like Aloe, she being the second Gym leader, like Misty was, making Iris possibly related to a gym leader? I know it's sorta random (and maybe confusing, combing 6 sentences at a time XD), but so is Iris.
