Gym battles aren't tough enough to impress me.. unfortunately. The first gym battle was pretty fun though, Boappu was a rather tough opponent. Bah, I don't even remember the gym leader's name. x_x

My vote went to Kamitsure - Electric Gym leader and her gym is rather epic.

Gymnotide November 7th, 2010 11:41 AM

Kamitsure was very annoying to fight underleveled. She wasn't hard or anything, but Volt Change is really annoying if it's all she uses.

Myaora November 7th, 2010 12:20 PM

The first gym was the only Gym that actuallly posed a threat, then again I simply adore Kamitsure!

Emonga. Anyway.

I found the first and second gyms the hardest \: Third/fourth/fifth the easiest.

sixth/seventh/eighth were all mediocre. I would of loved more of a challenge.

By the sound of it Isshu was easy compared to Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and even Sinnoh...I miss the Hoenn gym leaders just by hearing how weak Isshu's are...

I don't know, there are a couple of people that had a difficult time with a few of the Gym Leaders. I guess it all depends on what level range you've reached to them though. I hope they do put on some kind of challenge for me however, and I'm pretty sure since B/W has been leaning towards levels being high for various points in the game (like the Elite Four levels, Victory Road's, and even how long it takes for one Pokémon to evolve in levels) I'll have a chance to get the challenge I'm expecting. n_n;

As for looking through the designs of each Gym Leader, I would say I like Kamitsure the most and by far, my favorite Gym Leader for this generation. I love electric type Pokémon, and her design fit overall is quite outstanding. Her outfit fits the electric typing but as for the challenge she puts up I'm not quite sure. Of course she's only the fourth Gym Leader so she won't be too difficult to defeat and so there's not really much I can say to that. XD;

By watching the gym battle videos on YouTube, I figured out part of Kamitsure's battling style. Her Emonga spam Volt Change, swapping out one Emonga out for the other (if one Emonga uses Volt Change, Kamitsure switches in the other one). While this is annoying for most people, it can be countered; I also came up with a strategy to counter it. By having Dangoro/Gantoru/Gigaiath/Ishizumai/Iwaparesu set up Stealth Rock, the Emonga will lose 25% HP with each switch in.

Edit: a simpler solution would be to put a Ground Pokemon up front, and pray it doesn't die to Emonga's other attacks.

You know she is the only one who hasn't had a Military related clothing out of the 4 electric gym leaders, ironically she is also the only female electric gym leader...

Kamitsure is my favorite by far.Heck,even my Zeburaika will be named after her.In my previous Nuzlocke Run I was saw her.All I could say was "Stunning" I was speechless.She is my favorite gym leader in Pokémon.Before I hated Electric Gym Leaders,they wern't just appealing to me.Kamitsure is a fresh new groove for the Electric Gym leaders.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ November 20th, 2010 11:55 AM

I find it amazing that they made an Ice cream Pokemon and now a gym leader has it. my favorite gym leader would have to be Hodomoe city gym because it has two cool looking Pokemon (I'm starting to become a sucker for Doryuuzu now) and Waruvile

Well, to be fair, she is a model.

One that has a sense of fashion too. And is she listening to and iPod or something? Really goes with the technology theme in Black.

dragon0fangz November 23rd, 2010 12:41 PM

I voted Arti.

He's awesome.

1. Bug types
2. Artist
3. Hiun City

but i am disappointed by how easy he is. Adeku makes up for being a bug type champion. (3 of 6 pokemon, dont argue)

Does anyone think her English name would be Ava; derived from 'aviator.' She is a pilot afterall. C:

Also, with Kamitsure, her name could be Electra. (from electricity...)

Those are really good names I hope that Fuuro is Ava in the English versions now :)

Perriechu December 3rd, 2010 12:55 AM

I retract my latest statement I made :x

I started new game and got owned by D.P.K, I'm still stuck on them, Mijumaru is gross in battle >:

So yeah its gonna be really hard for me now ;~;

Hibaru December 3rd, 2010 1:30 AM

Furou. Dang, she's HOT! Thats the reason I like her anyway~

And thats what I hate about the new Gym leaders of the region.

Fan Girls/Boys go wild over a new "hot" Gym leader :/ She's just Pixels'. Chill.

Researching into the first Gym, I've come to the conclusion that GameFreak are trying to make us smarter trainers by making the final Pokemon at a type advantage to the ones we choose. I mean, normally this is done with the rival trainer, but when the Gym leader also has a Pokemon stronger than you, it starts to make you think a little more before using moves (as Gym leaders tend to have a specific strategy or at least healing items to make the battle more challenging); transforming the people who have the traditional mindset of 'Press A a few hundred times and win' to people who take type advantage and the likes into account.

Guys.. Pokemon is getting modern! :D

Count December 3rd, 2010 8:33 AM

The gyms aren't too challenging. Except for gym 1 and 2, I had no troubles beating any.

Yeah but they failed unfortunately :| Before you fight you get given the Monkey that has a type advantage to theirs, so unless you want the challenge people generally tend to use the monkeys :o

Kamitsure. She's sexy, awesome, and is the hardest of the Isshu gym leaders. I miss the Hoenn leaders..they had talent and were hard to beat

So many things wrong with this sentence. ;~;

Kamitsure is just Pixels, get over it :|
She's not the hardest Gym Leader considering she's only the 4th Leader and her top Leveled Pokemon is 27/28.

Hoenn leaders are even easier. Sinnoh leaders are the hardest.
