Gym & Gym Leaders Discussion
 
So we know about two gym leaders so far:
  • Dento is the first Gym Leader - you fight him in Sanyo City.
  • Aloe is the second Gym Leader, a woman you fight in Shippou City.
  • It seems like Dento is the first gym leader like Brock was in Kanto (he also travels with them in the anime...just like Brock...)
So speculate on their types :)
Update:
Quote:

  • 1st Gym: Dento, Poddo, and Kon - Grass, Fire, Water - ????? Badge - Sanyou City. All Pokemon up to Level ?? will obey.
  • 2nd Gym: Aloe - Normal - ????? Badge - Shippou City. All Pokemon up to Level ?? will obey.
  • 3rd Gym: ????? - Bug - Beetle Badge - Hiun City. All Pokemon up to Level 40 will obey.
  • 4th Gym: Kamitsure - Electric - Bolt Badge - ????? City. All Pokemon up to Level 50 will obey.
  • 5th Gym: Yakon - Ground - Quake Badge - Hodomoe City. All Pokemon up to Level 60 will obey.
  • 6th Gym: Furou - Flying - Jet Badge - Fukiyosa City. All Pokemon up to Level 70 will obey.
  • 7th Gym: Hachiku - Ice - Icicle Badge - Sekka City. All Pokemon up to Level 80 will obey.
  • 8th Gym: Iris - Dragon - Legend Badge - Souryuu City. All Pokemon will obey.

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 is the Gym Leader of Shippou City (シッポウシティ).
  • The city could be named after a religious Buddhist term for the “Seven Precious Treasures,” being Gold, Silver, Pearls, Agate, Crystal, Coral, and Lapis Lazuli. Some of these have been game namesakes to boot. It can also be named after “Cloisonne,” which is enamel work (”enamelware in which colored areas are separated by thin metal strips”). So the city may deal in religion or art (or perhaps uses the metal from that religious term for the enamel work). Considering Aloe is wearing a big apron, she might be a cloisonne ware maker. But none of this is confirmed yet of course!
  • Speaking of which, an “aloe” is an African flower.


MiniM00se August 8th, 2010 1:24 PM

Aloe seems like she would be Grass, imo, because Aloe is a flower/plant thing.

Resultz August 8th, 2010 1:25 PM

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

austy14 August 8th, 2010 4:13 PM

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)

Oh wow... LOL. But anyways,
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?)

I should have taken that off...that's was copied from PokeBeach actually...I'll go edit that part off :)
Yeah it does, you probably read it in the Aloe thread :)

Bay August 8th, 2010 4:42 PM

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.

Tyxomm August 8th, 2010 5:07 PM

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

Planetes. August 8th, 2010 5:17 PM

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

Livewire August 8th, 2010 5:40 PM

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.

Agent Clank August 8th, 2010 5:49 PM

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.

Volroc August 8th, 2010 6:48 PM

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

Im sorry, but ... saying shes dark type based on her ... ethnicity is a bit inappropriate, dont you think?

Im sorry, just what i first thought.

Roaring Moon August 8th, 2010 7:07 PM

For the love of god, there better be a Dark-type gym leader. :cer_pissed:

Betwixt August 8th, 2010 7:10 PM

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.

Tater Tot August 8th, 2010 7:18 PM

It would be horrible if she was a Dark type Gym Leader.

js

I think she'll be grass. :3

Cypher DS August 8th, 2010 7:26 PM

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.

coolnick37 August 9th, 2010 12:41 AM

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

smugleaf^^ August 9th, 2010 1:05 AM

I think that Dento will be a bug type gym and that he has that new cute kurumiru on his team ;p

King Gumball August 9th, 2010 2:36 AM

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.

incognito322 August 9th, 2010 4:31 AM

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.

Charizard★ August 9th, 2010 4:39 AM

Dento could be a normal type, and I'm guessing Aloe is a grass type because of her name.

most gym leaders have the looks that give away their type.
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.

Kimicatdemon August 9th, 2010 5:01 AM

My vote with Dento is going to be normal/ psychic. oAo

I cannot see him using a bug type...

yeah he looks kinda psychic, but no way that they will put a first gym battle with psychic pokemon

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:

Bugs are not epic failed creations, they can take over the world actually if only they could connect and think like humans...we humans would be gone in a few days...
Does anyone know what Dento means in Japanese?

Ralfisme August 9th, 2010 7:44 AM

maby they stop using mono type gyms i mean look at dento's badge you can't really make any type of it

Planetes. August 9th, 2010 7:51 AM

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"

Yea but if you look at the color of the stones it's blue, red and green.

Weavile05 August 9th, 2010 8:03 AM

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.

Though Aloe seems like the Grass gym leader by her name so I think he might be Electric if still mono type :)

Planetes. August 9th, 2010 8:09 AM

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.

Ryu-kun August 9th, 2010 8:11 AM

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.

That's true he could be our first, first poly type gym leader :), the only other poly type was Blue in GSCHgSS but he was the last :)

Bluerang1 August 9th, 2010 8:49 AM

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

They do mean something, look at the Electric gym leaders names ;)

revelp8 August 9th, 2010 9:54 AM

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

Ryu-kun August 9th, 2010 9:56 AM

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...

appearanceour first gym leader have to do with drink and food respectively :P.Knowledge...wine...well wine is made of fruits so maybe he's the grass gym leader :\?

joeyk August 9th, 2010 11:44 AM

I think dento will be bug type but i would like him to be dark or ghost.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 9th, 2010 11:58 AM

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)

You might want to put the picture in a spoiler so you don't stretch everybody's screen. :x

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.

Gymnotide August 9th, 2010 1:53 PM

[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.

Cyberglass August 9th, 2010 2:49 PM

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.

Planetes. August 9th, 2010 2:53 PM

@cyberglass that would be me, thanks for agreeing, and I agree with you as well that Aloe will be grass

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 9th, 2010 7:07 PM

Well a multi type gym as the first gym sounds cool, I hope it comes true :)

Storm_has_formed August 9th, 2010 7:10 PM

i demand Dento having Dragon types!!! It would be an awesome challenge

Note that I'm not being serious :)

KANTO:Water second
SINNOH: Grass second

We need a fire gym

seal August 10th, 2010 6:57 AM

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

shininglatios217 August 10th, 2010 9:56 AM

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.

Ryu-kun August 10th, 2010 10:06 AM

Lol, on the each answer wrong, there will be 5 lvls added to each member of her team ^_^... I wish

shininglatios217 August 10th, 2010 10:09 AM

That could be a pain for me because I will choose Mijumaru (the Water Starter).

That's exactly my thoughts as well. I def think it's be cool for the first gym leader to use psychic pokemon... Instead of a rock type.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 10th, 2010 7:57 PM

I think the most likely types for Dento to be are Steel, Normal, Rock, or psychic, or multitype :)

NA3LKER August 11th, 2010 12:56 AM

i really want a dark type gym

Haza August 11th, 2010 12:58 AM

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.

kinda like the Frontier Brain Brandon?

Perriechu August 11th, 2010 2:21 AM

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..

Gymnotide August 11th, 2010 11:06 AM

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.

Esper August 11th, 2010 5:48 PM

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.

Totoquil August 11th, 2010 6:00 PM

Aloe just screams grass type. And Dento...hmm...maybe steel?

shininglatios217 August 11th, 2010 6:02 PM

Steel would be too hard for the first Gym. Maybe Normal?

orange discontent August 11th, 2010 6:24 PM

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.

austy14 August 11th, 2010 11:39 PM

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

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 12th, 2010 12:32 PM

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.

Totaldile August 12th, 2010 10:18 PM

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.

Ho-Oh August 12th, 2010 11:46 PM

@ 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.

haha pokemon racist XP maybe we get to see a jinx evo.
I bet that Aloe has tabunne and is a normal type trainer

Ho-Oh August 13th, 2010 7:11 AM

...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.

Dento.... Grass,or Bug :) if hes the first, then ill go YES! no more Rock type first XD



wats wrong with bug types?

i know real life bugs are disgustin, totally epic fail creations, but bug pokemon are awesome :)

I know that first comment was totally inappropriate, but I almost fell out of my chair laughing at the stupidity. You are most definately a troll. A racist one at that.

The second one I've bolded - If bugs didn't exist, you wouldn't. Ever heard of the food chain? Probably not....

I hope not, that would be silly if they did...

Ho-Oh August 14th, 2010 12:13 AM

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.

Oh, yeah! Think of the publicity! "Game Freak makes mega racist situation in new Pokemon games!!!" Lol, I bet a bunch of people would buy it to see what the comotion was about. And I was too young when the whole Jynx thing came about I didn't hear about it until about 2 years ago I thinks.

Planetes. August 14th, 2010 11:43 AM

^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.

That's a cool name, no pun intended :).
Yeah it does need one to match the other two but the same goes for Pinsir, Banette,etc. :)

austy14 August 14th, 2010 6:08 PM

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

I haven't thought about triplet gym leaders until now :), Yeah what would be a good triplet type though other than Psychic?

Zelda August 14th, 2010 8:13 PM

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.

austy14 August 14th, 2010 8:18 PM

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!

Volroc August 14th, 2010 9:26 PM

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

Aloe being dark type makes little sense though :\

observation of her outfit,& of her gym,which is rather dark, hints at dark to me :P

Vampire://Krimm August 15th, 2010 7:44 AM

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~

PaxAmericana August 15th, 2010 11:07 AM

Aloe- Grass(maybe)
Dento- Dark(maybe)

Well the room is pretty dark but the outfit doesn't look all that dark to me, I would have imagined the dark gym leader wearing more normal clothing, maybe even gothic...

Sorry, but Cole is much better for a Fire leader. It's pronounced exactly like coal.

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.

Kevin August 15th, 2010 6:31 PM

I think Dento will be a Bug-type. I dunno why xD

austy14 August 15th, 2010 6:44 PM

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.
