Vampire://Krimm August 15th, 2010 6:48 PM

Heyyy @ Austy that's actually a really good point o.o

And in fact I think it wouldn't be too bad of a plot point either. Maybe like Aloe's daughter or something? Also if you think about it, Aloe is a plant and flower... So is Iris. COINCIDENCE?

Xebelleon August 15th, 2010 7:04 PM

Dento- Bug
Aloe- Fire or Grass
Ground Leader
Electric Leader
Steel leader
Water Leader
Fighting Leader
Dark Leader

I THINK NOT! And it would be fun if she were in-game too. She could just be a random person... and I think they should make more 1-of a kind trainers. Just some random person "PKMN Trainer Iris" that looks unique but has no special purpose. Kinda make the people more real and unique, not clones of eachother.

Speaking of unique trainers, I remember seeing two girls on a screenshot posted on another thread around last month or so, I wonder if those two girls might be gym leaders or unique characters like N :\
So Iris being in game is possible there was a rumor that both her and Dento were...

austy14 August 15th, 2010 9:49 PM

Well Dento is for sure. And Iris could just be a younger anime counterpart for Aloe, if my process of realativity is true. Or she could be in the game. Maybe we don't battle her in game though, she could just stand there and say "My mom is a great cook! But she's even better at Pokemon, so watch out!"

She isn't as we saw Anime art of both Iris and Aloe already...
The last statement is the most likely :)

That reminds me of Max!! In emerald May/Brenden have a younger brother (doesn't look to much like max) and Max was also based on the school kid class in r/s/e:http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/47/RSE_SchoolkidM.png- could be the same for iris! I also support Iris being Aloes daughter, just look at dawn (unless you pick lucas)! Her mothers a co-ordinator in the games as well as the anime...

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 16th, 2010 10:51 AM

I hope we get the other gym leaders soon :)
I just remember something...in the odd numbered gens they only show a Silhouette of the 8th gym leader (this applies to E only in the hoenn games) in the game manual...Gen 1's was obvious, gen 3 was to not show us the new 8th gym leader is,
So maybe Isshu's 8th gym leader will be someone to silhouette too :D! Possibly N maybe ;)

If they did ake her dark, I would actually laugh because of the huge controversy it would create. "In top news today, Game Freak is sued for a large amount of racism in their latest installment of the Pokemon game series." Yeah. And for some reason, that felt like deja vu. Maybe I posted something just like this the other day and fprgot about it, maybe I dreamt it o_O

You did post something like this the other day :P
Yeah I see her more as the normal, grass, or possibly steel type than Dark type :)

Sigh same here, I wish we could get some info from the official site on the rest of them...

Ho-Oh August 16th, 2010 8:39 PM

Well, Aloe and Dento must have been revealed for a reason - so when the time comes, which is very soon I'm assuming, we'll know why they were revealed instead of other possible gym leaders (not just because of types, but yeah).

They were revealed first by the anime actually...So the reason is the anime :P
Though we would have seen them anyways in the Corocoro scans though, so you have a point :)
I just think it's because they are the first ones nothing real special...

Ho-Oh August 16th, 2010 8:45 PM

I'm sure Aloe wasn't revealed first by the anime?

Either way; if they have a significant part in the anime, they'll have a significant part in-game (well, hopefully more than the others).

Oh wait take that back she was in a Scan at first, though her full body was shown in the anime :)
Well Brock had a big part in the anime, not so much in game, I think it's going to be the same for Dento and Aloe.

Sora's Nobody August 16th, 2010 9:20 PM

MRAAS: Dento as been said to travel around with the crew like brock did.

I think that Aloe will be grass. Because Aloe is a plant.

austy14 August 17th, 2010 5:06 AM

I actually do wish they showed us more gym leaders and scans... I have almost as much fun pre-game imagining it all as I do playing the games. I hope it's like Johtowhere you can easily beat the gym leaders in any order you want (and I suppose kanto in Gen II/IV was that way, even more so). Because I liked goin in a different order, to see if it affacted anything :)

Well I hope they make the levels different for every gym leader based on the order you went to make it harder if what you want happens :)

Tyxomm August 17th, 2010 1:28 PM

I hope the other gyms puzzles aren't quizis...

Gyms Wishlist
All Gym leaders must have at least 4 pokemon. (gym 1 may have 3 pokemon)
I mean SRSLY a gym leader with two level 10 pokemon. they're GYM LEADERS for a reason, because they're supposed to be super strong...

1# Normal
Something good to start of with. And no starter type advantage.
2# Poison
Beginner trainers could learn how status effects work. And since gen1 there was no other poison gym.
3# Fire
A fire gym early in the game, it's time for some extra fire type pokemon this gen!
4# Ground
Has/Hasn't been done before since Blue replaced Giovanni in Gen1
5# Bug
Bug pokemon (mostly) look so fragile, so therefore i'd like a good bug gym with strong bug pokemon. somewhere in the middle of all gyms.
6# Dark
Explanation not needed. But I don't wan't this to be the last gym since that would be clique.
7# Rock
Again explanation not needed. Rock must NOT be the first gym,. time for some uber rock pokemon.
8# Grass
not much here, but this would be cool... and it could introduce a Grass/Fire and (another) Grass/Rock pokemon to counter fire types.

So you hope for Aloe to be Poison type?, she's the Second gym leader that's why I ask :)
Well no starter type advantage...do you mean against our starters our starters against the gym's type?

nah, this is my gym wishlist in general.
If Aloe were to be poison-type that would be cool, but i doubt it.
And yes, starter against gym leader. Grass, Fire, Water are all normal effective agaist normal types.

That would be cool. Like the uncomfirmed info from a month ago that said you have more choices that could ultimitely affect the story, so it would be cool if those choices changed the order of the gym. Like two bridges are about to fall apart, and you can help save one. Which one? Then the other breaks and is fixed later for access to that side. Seems unlikely, but fun.

Yeah it does sound like fun, ah I wish :)

Not all gyms have to specialise in one type do they? Look at Blue/Green! I want to see some balanced gym! :D

...

That would be so good. Maybe that could work if there was twin gym leaders, both from different gyms, same level Pokemon, but different types and circumstances. But I dunno how you could save a bridge... XD;

Well we're not ten anymore. We're like 16, we can hold bridge up in a hurricane. And we have Pokemon to help! :D

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 18th, 2010 11:35 AM

This is what I'm hoping for:
1st gym : Normal Dento
2nd gym: Grass Aloe
3rd gym: Fire
4th gym: Water
5th gym: Electric
6th gym: Psychic
7th gym: Dark gym leader triplets :D!
8th gym: Ghost :)

Bluerang1 August 19th, 2010 5:02 AM

Dento might be the one who's a Grass type Gym Leader.

Look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpIKhghdZhQ&feature=player_embedded

He says "Solar Beam".

MegaKuriboh August 19th, 2010 8:46 AM

If you go to PokeJungle is shows clips from the anime and Dento's gym is filled with pointy rocks which might mean this is unfortunatly another first Rock gym again, gosh I hope not!! :(
I'm not saying it is I'm just speculating.
PLEASE I don't want another 1st Rock gym!!!!

Ghrimm August 19th, 2010 8:59 AM

I don't really know what types these two will have. Hmm, D:


Tropical Sunlight August 19th, 2010 9:14 AM

If the terrain of Dento's Gym does represent the Rock-type, and if Dento's Pokemon used SolarBeam, there can always be a possibility that he has a new Pokemon of Rock/Grass typing. Which is cool.

I'm kind of happy to see that he's a Rock-type Gym Leader, like Brock, or Roxanne and Roark. If he is a Rock-type Gym Leader at all.

Grass/Rock would be cool... and it would be great against mijumaru.

Finally Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny got a make-over!

I personally think an idea of 16 gym leaders would be awesome. The different things you do and say throughout the journey will have different outcomes on who you face in the long run. So say you do something in the storyline similar to the bridge falling.. that in itself will automatically change who you face. In the end you battle only 8 of the 16 gym leaders, but you have a huge variety and can have all sorts of different combinations and orders instead of the same old 8 gym leaders in order that you can already predict the types of. If the gym leaders orders are decided on what you do to affect the storyline, that would be awesome.

Then maybe at the end of the game when you beat the first 8, you can go back and challenge the other 8.. but not for a badge, just for leveling and
fun. ^^ The 16 gym leaders would all have different types too and maybe the 8th gym leaders will be a variety like Green. In the anime there are 8 gym leaders to every region, but there are also way more than that. That would explain why some of the trainers throughout the series, Gary for an example, have badges that look far different than we are used to. There are hidden official gym leaders as well. :3

his gym though doesn't look like most Rock gyms in the game,I don't see any rocks in his in Game gym :\

MegaKuriboh August 19th, 2010 3:34 PM

Yeah, Dento doesn't look like a rock type gym leader he looks like either Grass, Bug, Psychic or Normal. Dento DID tell his Pokemon to use Solarbeam (maybe he has a Tsutaja)

Aloe, my guesses are Grass, Fire, Rock or Steel

Remember the Fighting-Type gym in Kanto. :rambo:

He does in the preview clip of Best Wishes :)

Silver25 August 20th, 2010 12:13 AM

I doubt he is a Rock-type Gym Leader. He probably either has a rock field or it is like the Pokemon League and Juan's Gym where there are multiple different settings. Perhaps to test the bond between trainer and Pokemon since that is what he's best at (or so it is rumored).

krishkai August 20th, 2010 2:14 AM

Well what if Dento's pokemon change depending on which question you got the correct answer to and which question you didnt...like if you got all the answers correct he'd be grass, or if you got one or two correct and one wrong you'd get water etc etc

Ho-Oh August 20th, 2010 2:20 AM

That'd mean he'd need a large range of Pokemon though, all of which match up to eachother in strength (or appear even). And... for that reason, due to not having 500 new Pokemon or so to choose from, that seems unlikely. I guess if it was only down to two types, it could work, but still, that's going to be pretty hard to select the Pokemon.

That makes sense, her wearing the apron (like a smith of something) and the thing that came up before about her towns name and pots and stuff... forgot how that all went.

Bluerang1 August 20th, 2010 6:40 AM

Gym leaders will go:

Dento - Grass (see this post)
Aloe - Fire (because they use fire to make Glass and Steel ornaments which I think her city's name is based off)
Water
Electric
Normal
Etc like the Pokedex ^^

Ho-Oh August 20th, 2010 6:45 AM

Fire? o_O But her name is close to grass. Wouldn't that be more logical? :(

I dunno, personally... I'm thinking grass, as the others seem to think :x

Tyxomm August 20th, 2010 7:10 AM

I could see Dento's gym being: Grass, Fire & Water type.
But I don't think he'll have all starters cause You, Belle and Cheron already have one.
If dento also has them that would take their uniqueness away...

If it does turn out that Dento has a Tsutaaja, then I'm so gonna do a Tsutaaja Vs. Tsutaaja battle.
That will be the most epic battle ever, next to Magikarp Vs. Magikarp that is...

Zelda August 20th, 2010 7:21 AM

I can see Dento being a grass or possibly a bug type gym leader, but I'm not sure about fire. He doesn't look like he would be one, but I could be wrong.

As for Aloe, I don't know what I see her as. Her name Aloe makes me think grass, but we're just going to have to wait until next month to know everything. xD;

WriteThemWrong August 20th, 2010 8:26 AM

That's a stereotype. Having green hair doesn't necessarily mean he trains Grass-types. Of course, we'll have to wait in order to find out!

Kanto_Johto August 20th, 2010 10:04 AM

So, nobody's gonna say it?

Fine, I'll go:

How the hell does the FIRST Gym Leader have a Pokemon with Solarbeam? That's one of the most powerful Grass type Manouvers.

He has solarbeam in the anime, no one said he had it in the game. But I see where you're coming from... If in game he does too, let's hope he doesn't have sunny day.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 20th, 2010 1:58 PM

Well I don't think he will have solar beam in game, Gardenia had a Roserade that knew Weather ball...and the in game Gardenia didn't have a Roserade until the rematch :)

I agree.
The games and anime are different so it will be different.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 21st, 2010 4:07 PM

Dento might be grass after all if he has the monkey like Pokebeach implied...They implied that Victini might have been a legend and they were right, I wonder if they might be right this time...

Perriechu August 21st, 2010 4:52 PM

Im sticking with my Idea of Aloe being a Fire type gym leader x3
I think Dento will be Grass/Bug hopefully Grass :x only cause Bugs are annoying and are weak...some are strong but meh...
In the Anime he is commanding Solarbeam which could mean many possibilities,
Rock/Grass type Pokemon that someone said... Lileep springs to mind but no old Pokemon are in the Isshu dex.
Grass ... Duh >.<
Bug ... somekind of Bug/Grass Pokemon

Off Topic : If there are no old Pokemon in the new dex, this means that there are no new Eevee's
Since Eevee is not in the dex until National...

I think Dento is leaning towards Grass, or Rock at this point :)
Offtopic: Well they did that with Glaceon and Leafeon in gen 4...

Ho-Oh August 21st, 2010 11:15 PM

Yeah... after that new monkey, I'm starting to think that it will be Dento's and he will be a grass leader. No problem with that though, breaking the tradition of starting with rock would be nice (hopefully, if he is the first gym leader).

It was confirmed he was the first gym leader :), Yeah he most likely is Grass :D!

Ho-Oh August 21st, 2010 11:22 PM

It is? ...must've slipped my mind.

Well then yeah, I fully support him being grass, since... besides seeing a rock-type gym, it could've been someone else's gym that they visited as a team.

Yeah it is, look at the first post in this thread :)
It could be, did Erika had tree's in her gym I forget...
Wait didn't some of the gym leaders have rocks in their gym's despite not being Rock anyways, besides Rock gym leaders usually have huge rocks...

Angelroid August 21st, 2010 11:39 PM

Dento could be a Grass or Poison.
Aloe could be Psychic or Ghost.

Silver25 August 22nd, 2010 1:06 AM

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but an interesting thing to notice is that during the gym battle vs Dento scene in the latest trailer, it appears as though he allows kids (from the town or city possibly?) to watch the matches from a seating area on the 2nd floor of the gym. Perhaps he takes on the role of teaching them about Pokemon as we have seen some gym leaders do in the past.

Note: there is at least 1 other kid next to the one circled in the picture.

I dunno, that looks like a cheerleader to me.
It looks like she has one pink and one blue pom pom at rest position in front of her.

It's not very clear in that picture but if you watch the preview on Pokebeach, from what I can see it is a boy and looks like he and the other kid are watching to learn rather than cheer. But that's just me.

I watched but the other "kid" looks like they have pom poms too.
It is too blurry to tell for sure since they are in the background. XD;
But one thing is for sure, Dento acts very much like a pretty-boy type, so I don't doubt the existence of cheerleaders.


OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 22nd, 2010 2:13 PM

Now if only we could get a better idea of what type Aloe is...

Shnappy August 22nd, 2010 4:58 PM

Well, the word "Dento" is a prefix. It's a variation of the word "Denti", and "Denti" means:

"a combining form meaning “tooth,” used in the formation of compound words: dentiform."

Now I can't say this means anything, but I just thought I'd say that.

I personally believe that Dento's name is the Japanese variation of the word dent.
I never realized he was a waiter until now.. I kinda thought he was a butler, or he was in a tuxedo.
.. Until I saw the apron anyway.


OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 22nd, 2010 5:33 PM

It's interesting last gen we got the Butler class and now we get the Baker class...I expect those two classes to show up a lot in Dento and Aloe's gyms

It would be cool! But a little off-topic, I don't recall seeing butler/waiter trainers anywhere outside of battle frontier.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 22nd, 2010 7:19 PM

I hope that the other trainers in the gym are a challenge at least...

orange discontent August 22nd, 2010 7:44 PM

Dento's not a waiter, he's a sommelier... :/

Dento's anime gym is definitely not his gym in-game since, well, CoroCoro leaks show otherwise. Besides, wouldn't it be kind of silly to battle in a high-class restaurant? Who says he's not using a generic gym in the anime? That explains the rocks, at least.

So a tooth based gym? Or a dinosaur based gym!

...I'm sticking with him being grass. :x

King Gumball August 22nd, 2010 10:49 PM

I would have thought Aloe was the grass gym because of what her name means. I now think Dento will be grass because of the monkey so I guess it is a possibility that Aloe could be a rock type gym. She looks like a hardy woman.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 24th, 2010 2:13 PM

Well the second gym being rock would be a nice change if it does happen :)

Zelda August 24th, 2010 2:37 PM

I would like a change in Rock always being the first gym type. Mix-up is good and the same isn't always, I wonder if the creators think about that. D;
Suppose if the games came out with new types, I'm sure some of the gyms will have the new types. If not, I'd like to see a rearrange and possibly rock not being there at all.
Mainly if Black and White is going to keep up an original title, there should be new changes. :)

Ho-Oh August 24th, 2010 4:50 PM

Aloe could be electric, with Dento being grass, which would ruin rock's chance for 1st and 2nd. We might not even get rock at all! Though... we'd probably get that combined into a ground/steel gym to cover a part of rock.

I apologize if my idea seems a bit...unorthodox. I have just woken up and now I'm having trouble explaining my views and ideas. :(

I understand what you mean, we do need to see the less seen ones, though I think we should skip steel as we got one last gen...but that didn't stop GF from having water type gym for the last two gens in a row...

PaxAmericana August 25th, 2010 5:24 PM

if we had a rock type gym first, i would slap myself repeatedly till my face bled

Sammuthegreat August 26th, 2010 3:37 AM

I don't know if this has been posted already but it's been revealed on www.serebii.net that Dento has Yanappu, the little broccoli monkey Pokemon. So the first Gym must be Grass-type. Hooray! Finally a Gym where my fire starter will kick ass.

Ho-Oh August 26th, 2010 3:54 AM

:D Well, this is enough confirmation for me. So grass... hmm. Oh, and let's note that his city is surrounded by a forest (well I see a lot of trees behind his gym so yeah), this is good. Very good.

I wonder what Aloe will be now.

Exactly the same what i thought!

and i think Aloe will be fire, because she's a cook and what do cooks need to make their food? FIRE.

MistahDude August 26th, 2010 4:36 AM

Im not entirely convinced that the first gym will be grass. It could still be a combination of Grass, Fire and Water types. His gym hints a lot to it.

This pretty much confirms Dento is either a Grass gym leader or a mixed Gym leader.
This may also confirm that Yanappu did the Solarbeam in one of the earlier trailers, but we didn't see the Pokemon itself, so who knows.

Edit ; Ugh Solarbeam on the first gym leader. ;-; Not looking forward to it.. if it's in-game anyway.


Red Mustang August 26th, 2010 8:38 AM

I think the seventh or eighth gym leader will be dark type(:

That's way overdue.

Remember, he has solar beam in the anime. Not confirmed if the game dento has solar beam. But I'm kinda glad Dento has Ynappu, now aloe can't cook it.

Hence why I said "if it's in-game anyway"? -.-;

So Dento is joining Iris and Ash on their Journey huh? A new Gym Leader follows them along, bout time. Dento seems pretty hyperactive haha, I have a feeling this'll be hilarious. Like one of those over-flamboyant anime dudes. <3

Regarding in-game Dento, I will cry if he has Solarbeam. ;~;


Totaldile August 26th, 2010 11:22 AM

I'm sticking with my intuition. Normal for Aloe :).
(it got it right the first time :3)

Planetes. August 26th, 2010 11:24 AM

There was a new commercial for Best Wishes that gives serious evidence that Dento is grass type http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/CKmaster/Dento.png?t=1282850653 and that Iris will torture poor Pokabu

rocky505 August 26th, 2010 11:35 AM

He must be a water type look at all the bubblez :P

I will have major problems in the games with him :(

There is absolutely no chance the first Gym Leader will have a Pokemon with Solarbeam. I can 100% tell you now that he won't have that move. The first Gym Leader will have Pokemon of levels between 10 and 15, and no Pokemon will learn Solarbeam at that low a level. Plus, Gym Leaders have never had Egg moves on their Pokemon before.

Yes there have been leaders with egg moves before. Both Brock's Graveler and Onix from GSC had rock slide which were egg moves for them. Misty's Golduck from GSC had Psychic which was only a egg move for it at the time.

Wait... wasn't psychic a TM?

Anyways, what if gym leaders didn't follow Pokemon types, but visual characteristics? Like Dento has all "Monkey" Pokemon? Lol, I know it's weird. Maybe it would be fun if only one leader followed a pattern like this? XD

rocky505 August 26th, 2010 12:40 PM

Golduck could not learn psychic by TM until Gen 4.

incognito322 August 26th, 2010 12:48 PM

I have a feeling Gen V Gym Leaders will be even more deceptive than last time (Generation 4). Gym challenges became tougher as Gym Trainers and Leaders alike began to use moves that correspond to the Gym Type instead of Pokemon Types. (prime example was the female Ace Trainer of Canalave Gym who had an Azumarill that knew Iron Tail.)

I wouldn't be surprised if Dento has a Grass, Fire, and Water-type, at this point in the games.

WildBolt August 26th, 2010 1:33 PM

Was it confirmed that he has a Yanappu? If so I think he'll specialize in Grass-Types.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 26th, 2010 3:17 PM

So the first one is grass...it would be a bit hard to win with Tsutarja...
