Surely That's Not a Pokémon Gym?!
I didn't see a thread discussing the Pokémon gym designs So I decided to post one ^^
This thread was inspired by me walking around looking for the first gym for ages, not realising it was the restaurant [I didn't want to spoil the game before it came out so I had no idea what to look for ^^] What was your favourite design for exterior? What was your favourite design for interior? What was your least favourite design for exterior? What was your least favourite design for interior? :) If you haven't finished the game yet, just comment on what you've seen so far :) My favourite exterior design was Clay's because it looked a bit like a glass palace :D My favourite interior design was Skyla's gym. The cannons were cool and really added a bit of childish fun to the usual puzzles :) My least favourite design for exterior was Burgh's. Mainly because I couldnt see it at the side with Castelia's 3D graphics >> Least favourite gym for interior? Probably Striaton city. They could have done so much more with a restaurant theme in my opinion. I really liked how they made the exterior unique to the gym leader in this game and made the building fit in with the town ^^ It was a pleasant surprise for me! |
I enjoyed most in this game how there were puzzles, but they weren't too difficult or time-consuming, so you just spent more time enjoying the scenery. I really enjoyed the ice gym, I just like the sliding around puzzles a lot.
My favorite design-wise had to be the Nimbasa gym. So rollercoaster-y~ |
The Castelia gym was absolutely amazing and gorgeous. So impressive. I had a lot of fun walking around and the green and gold paint drips looks so good. Very interesting.
Nimbasa's gym was also really fun. Love the mini-coaster! |
I really enjoyed the Ice Gym as well, one of those think before you make a move situations. Clay's gym was kinda like that too. i had trouble with that one ha.
I love how all the gyms have small puzzles to solve, it really adds to the game. |
I disliked most of these gyms, to be honest. I'm starting to miss the days of yore when the designs of gyms were simplistic yet still challenging - these new gyms just have such a different feel to them.

What was your favourite design for exterior?
-Kamitsure's (Elesa) gym What was your favourite design for interior? -the 8th gym -Arti's gym What was your least favourite design for exterior? N/A What was your least favourite design for interior? -Aloe (Lenora) |
So far, I've only reached up to Clay's. By far his was the most annoying. Elesa's was the best design, though the most fun was Burgh's. :)
Lenora and the three brothers was well... boring to me :x Hopefully the other gym's are awesome. |
I have mixed feelings about the gyms. On one hand, I miss the gyms that were more puzzling... because I love puzzles. However, some of these gyms did prove a bit puzzling at certain points and weren't as time consuming.
What was your favourite design for exterior? Clays. No particular reason. What was your favourite design for interior? It would have to be a tie between the last one and Elesa's. The first time I entered both of them, I have to confess, I was impressed. What was your least favourite design for exterior? Striaton City's. Once again, no particular reason. What was your least favourite design for interior? Burgh's. I just didn't like it and the honey thing was annoying. |
I still wish Gyms were more than they are. I want Zelda-type dungeons, which take ages to get through, with wild Pokemon, and the Gym Leader being the boss at the end. They are getting close with the puzzles, but a Gym is completed far too quickly and easily for my liking.

a favorite of mine was the gym in mistralton city, its not everyday you get shot out of a cannon!(and overshooting it, smack into a wall...ouch!)

Especially Skyla's, who you seem to like. I loved these gyms so much! They were all unique in their own ways and weren't the same boring design on the exterior like previous games. The interiors were more complex, challenging, and most of all; fun. These are definately my favorite gyms ever. Now, let's see what the Pokemon League looks like, i'm currently on Victory Road [: Hopefully i'll be there soon! |
I just enjoy how there not the same building in every single city! :)

What was your favourite design for exterior?
Elesa's was pretty cool. It was next to a Ferris Wheel. What was your favourite design for interior? I loved Elesa's interior as well with the coasters. Skyla's was pretty cool too. With all the cannons. What was your least favourite design for exterior? Lenora's because it was just a plain museum. What was your least favourite design for interior? The Striaton Gym, because, it wasn't very interesting to me. I know, it's a restaurant and stuff, but I've known that for a while, so it wasn't new. |
the only gym that i found that i really like is elesa's gym. the rollar coasters are awesome. other than that i dont really like or dislike any other gyms as of yet. i just made it to clays gym tho
|
I liked Kamitsure's Gym (I mean she's cutie! xD) and Iris' and hers grandpa because of interior.
|
I didn't like Lenora's gym puzzle. I didn't really understand it, I just spoke to everyone and checked all the books. As for the rest, I didn't really like or dislike any of them.
|
^ How did you...whatever.
Anyway, I liked the Gyms this gen, except for the fact the lack of Dark Gyms. But Oplucid is the best for me, I love Dragons. |
I really liked the Dragon gym, especially the outside, I thought the design was very original.
I didn't really like the inside of, I think it was Burgh's, gym. The honey stuff just got annoying and for whatever reason I just wasn't too impressed. |
Okay seen all the gyms now. Overall, favourite is now probably the dragon gym, mainly because the scenes zoomed out of the dragon's heads look amazing. Ice is also pretty awesome when it comes to escaping. Skyla's just pretty much confused me for a bit. XD

What was your favourite design for exterior? Opelucid. It's definitely grand. I may even call it epic.
What was your favourite design for interior? Mistralton Gym. So much fun! What was your least favourite design for exterior? Castelia Gym. It couldn't have been less interesting. Though having said that it may be very attractive, I just couldn't see any of it. What was your least favourite design for interior? Striaton Gym. It was... boring. They wasted a lot of potential for the design of a restaurant. Generally I think the puzzles were a little basic in this game. In DPPt/HGSS I would return to gyms every now and then just to do the Gym puzzles because they were so fun. There's nothing calling me back to the gyms of BW, with the exception of Opelucid and Mistralton. |
Oh, it's definitely a gym. And don't call me Shirley. (am I seriously the first to say that? Woot.)
What was your favourite design for exterior? Opelucid, definitely. Take a close look, Clair, THAT is how you design a Dragon-type gym. What was your favourite design for interior? Opelucid, again. That just seemed to be my favorite gym overall. What was your least favourite design for exterior? I don't really think I have one. They all felt like they fit pretty well to me. What was your least favourite design for interior? Icirrus. OK, we get it, they like sliding ice puzzles. I'm bored of it now. |
I really liked the electric gym with the roller coaster type design. :)
The worst so far that I've seen is probably the normal gym, inside and outside, the puzzle was really dull. |
Disregard that I don't remember all of their names. ROFL. xD
What was your favourite design for exterior? The 1st trio gym. Restaurant ~, if only the puzzle was more like a restaurant. ): What was your favourite design for interior? Brycen's. Classic and one of my most favorite designs. I also loved the ice slides! What was your least favourite design for exterior? Burgh's gym. You only can see the side of it, lol. It doesn't even own its own building land, it's merged into all the other buildings. and its on the SIDE. the SIDE!! Not the front. What was your least favourite design for interior? Lenora's(Normal) or Drayden's(Dragon) gym... and Burgh's gym. Lenora's one was boring, and was so hard to understand. D:< I was stuck talking to random books the entire time. Drayden's one was worded wrong I think. The guy said the arms had to go down, but the head led to the Gym Leader after both arms went up... Burgh's gym... the angle was pretty bad. I couldn't see many of the switches due to the honey walls being too tall, or trainers blocking it, etc. Disregard that I don't remember all of their names.
