Favourite Gym Leader?
 


Okay, so we have a "most annoying Gym Leader" thread, right?
Well, here's one that's a little more positive:

Which Gym Leader is your favourite?

It could be for any reason; Anime appearances (Although that belongs in Anime really), their choice of pokémon, their appearance, participation in your adventure outside of their gym...anything. It's multiple choice as you can choose for both FireRed and LeafGreen and Ruby and Sapphire or Emerald.

Oh, and Tate and Liza are considered one entity, as they are only battleable and spoken with as a pair.

Saying I like Wallace would be an understatement. Not only does he use one of my favourite pokemon (Milotic) but I dont think there had been a gym leader quite as debonair or graceful as Wallace. I probably sound like I'm gushing now but his dialogue in the game and manga just makes him appear to be quite respectable.

I also want to throw in that I forgot to vote for Erika too, she's so polite and elegant, plus if I were a gym leader, I would want mine to be filled with female trainers like her own is.

In short, I really like the courtley leaders.

FRLG: Sabrina. idk why. I just like her.

RSE: Winona. ...idek with her either. I guess I just like 6th gym leaders.

Well, I might as well answer my own question...

Fr/Lg: Blaine. I like them all uniquely, and while Giovanni's the best, I don't like him as much. His Hg/Ss team is better. Blaine has good choice in pokémon - Arcanine, Rapidash (which I've never used, but often intended to) and possibly Ninetales? I'm not sure about Ninetales, but he should do if he doesn't have one. His appearance in the manga makes him pretty awesome, what with Mewtwo and saving Red a lot and teaming up with Entei. So...yeah. Blaine all the way.

R/S/E: It's a tie between Brawly and Flannery. Both use some pretty cool pokémon, i.e. Makuhita and Hitmontop, Torkoal and Camerupt. Brawly's a kinda cool surfer dude and Flannery has a nice rack.They both appear fairly good in the manga too. Looking at the poll, I should've given Brawly some love, but Flannery got my vote.

In R/S/E, my favourite gym leader is probably Winona. Mainly because I like travelling to Fortree City :D As for FR/LG, it has to be Erica! Mostly because I like the idea of the gym she portrays and her grass types are pretty cool.

mikey June 22nd, 2011 2:21 PM

Blaine has always been my favorite, probably because I love fire types and Arcanine :3

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ June 22nd, 2011 5:20 PM

Since there isn't any Ghost type gym leaders up there I'm going to have to go with my second favorite type which is Poison. Although Ericka is a Poison/Grass type gym leader, it is not enough so I'm going to have to go with Koga


:t354:TG

Favourite to fight was Tate and Liza, they were interesting (DOUBLE BATTLE FTW)
I liked the concept of Norman being your dad too, tbh, Hoenn had the best concepts of all the pokegames imo

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ June 24th, 2011 5:46 AM

Giovanni. Because he's, you know, a crime boss and all. Blaine also pretty awesome though, and Jasmine is the most attractive out of all of them.

Uecil June 24th, 2011 6:01 AM

Lt.Surge is my favorite 'cause he's electrifying and I love electric-type Pokemon, so he's my favorite.
Did you see what I did there with "electrifying"? :P

StarBoundDragon July 14th, 2011 6:59 PM

Wattson. I don't know why, he was just a cool old dude. Also, electric types FTW

Mentalii July 15th, 2011 11:04 AM

I chose Giovanni :P The wicked of the wicked ! A gym leader at the top of the evil Team Rocket, what else?

MarshMallowDJ July 15th, 2011 11:40 AM

man its all about Watson. I love how hes always laughing and i like his "electrifying" personality.

Maple Leaf July 15th, 2011 1:20 PM

FR/LG: Sabrina. I just love smashing Psychic-types.

R/S/E: Wattson. He was rather interesting.

Phantasmagoria July 15th, 2011 7:36 PM

FR/LG: Erika. Mainly because of Pokemon Special, though. Blaine is cool too.

R/S/E: Winona. I always loved her team, and she was part of the reason why I love Altaria so much. Wallace would be a close second.

in for nape July 15th, 2011 10:46 PM

Giovanni because the concept of a gym leader being a criminal was cool.

Cyndaquil312 July 16th, 2011 8:37 PM

I've always liked Tate and Liza, simply because it was a 2-on-2 battle. The first time I played Ruby, it took me by total surprise. Not to mention my first two pokemon out were Blaziken and Hariayma, so it goes without saying my first two got pummeled.

DowntownDumpling July 17th, 2011 8:46 AM

Voted Erika, Sabrina, Roxanne, and Norman. :) I just really like the serene feel of their gyms.

I always felt that Tate and Liza were cheating. The U.S. doesn't have two Presidents, does it? They're starting to grow on me, though.

Mirari July 17th, 2011 5:16 PM

Erika, Sabrina and Flannery. My favorite is Sabrina, since I've watched the anime and saw her ^_^ Psychic pokes and powers, yay xD And she uses a whip in the first games, right? xD Erika has the best sprites that I remember, and Flannery... well, just to pick one from Houen xP

vaporeon7 August 17th, 2011 12:20 AM

Misty was my favourite. I like Water Types, and I like her design better then Wallace and Juan. Sigh, if only she had a Vaporeon, then she would be so much better.

cazzler August 21st, 2011 12:41 PM

I chose Wallace, since he is the only gym leader that actually made me work for that badge!

C_r_e_a_m_p_u_f_f August 22nd, 2011 4:38 AM

I just like Wallace. I don't know why. In R/S he is a gym leader while in E he is a champion. Both the times he was rather "amusing".

---EDIT---
Forgot to tell, he also uses my favorite type; water.

Perriechu August 22nd, 2011 5:32 AM

For FRLG it has to be Koga. He gave me so much trouble it wasn't even funny! ;;

And for RSE it's the darling Brawly. Oh did he keep me from advancing so many times. On my first ever run through of Ruby I didn't defeat him until my team was mid-20's. \:

None of my favorites use my favourite type, however.

Beaute October 2nd, 2011 12:42 PM

This was a hard choice but my favorite is Erika, because I like her style and pokemon.

My close runner ups where Sabrina and Wallace x)

Togetic997 October 2nd, 2011 2:00 PM

I would have voted for Misty, but her Starmie is so freaking annoying.
