It has only been a couple of years between both games, so I imagine that not much will change. But then again, alot has happened in that time span (freezing of half the region, new towns with new gyms, etc.). If anything I imagine that they will change up some of the elite four like they did with Gold and Silver, but that would kind of mess up the "balance theme" that the Unova elite four was based upon (fighting>dark>ghost>psychic>...), so at best I imagine just a change in the champion if anything. I honestly don't know what to expect, but we will just have to wait and see.

Well there could always be a "new" balance. Keep some and change it up, like normal > fighting > psychic > dark. Skip one, etc. Orrrrr Flying > Rock > Fighting > Psychic, to keep half of B/W's sorta.

@ Cheren: Or they could do what they did with Gary/Blue/whatever his name is in the 2nd gen games, and give him the three grass/water/fire Pokemon he uses in lieu of the starter. Of course, the problem with this would be that he'd have two monkeys, but he could replace one with one of the new Pokedex additions.
Don't know who would make a good female Champion, though. However, if a Gym Leader or two were to pull a Koga and get promoted, I would support either Elesa or Clay. Or both. Also hoping Shauntal still has some role in the games if she's no longer in the E4. |

I don't know, but I like the diversity in an Elite. Somehow I felt like even though each of these Elite members focused on their own typing, it somehow felt all the same. Maybe it's just me? I don't know. |

^I actually liked that they specialized in the "gloomy" types, it gave them an added intimidation. I've always felt that they (being the previous regions' Elite Four) were just some people without anything other than the title of Elite Four. The Black and White Elite had the title, plus the look and intimidation that I've always thought the other regions needed.

Well there's the other alternative of the Elite Four being themed to be upbeat rather than type-based and based on an "idea" and the Pokemon relative to it. Like truth/ideals/B2W2's Black Kyurem/B2W2's White Kyurem, so based around those ideas as the four kinda Elites.

If what you're saying is that the Elite Four Pokémon could be based on the theme of Black Kyurem/White Kyurem, I would rather much prefer for them to stick to typing. The diversity would be good. If we know what types the E4 Pokémon will be based around/connect to, we could all train Pokémon that would be good for them all and have no challenge. At least with diversity, our Pokémon can have both advantages and disadvantages. |

Electric's badly underrepresented in the Elite Four... I don't recall it showing up once... maybe it's time Elesa got a nice big promotion xD
Grass as well, though they probably would need to come up with a new character if they wanted to go that route. |
I'm pretty excited to see what the League/Champion will be like in these games. I was hugely impressed with how the Elite 4 were implemented in BW, and while two years have passed I'm expecting the system to be close enough to the same.
I know that some Elite 4 types have been repeated, but there was a very good sense of balance in the Elite 4 in BW, and so I'm very curious as to whether Game Freak would be willing to sorta ignore the type-square they made. I'm hopeful they'll change the Elite 4 members (at least one or two of them) but I'm wary of how they plan to do so. As for the Champion, I'm genuinely expecting the likes of Cheren or maybe even Hilbert/Hilda (which are admittedly awful names). BW was full of fan-servicey surprises, so I really think B2W2 won't stray too far from that. |
Since they replaced two gym leaders (as far as we know) like the Kanto gym leaders, perhaps we will see 2 of the shintenno (Elite four) replaced. If so then I'll like to see grass and electric as stated earlier...perhaps the grass e4 is Cilian...how fan servicy is that (well for others)? And Elesa for the electric type...

I'm thinking Elesa and Brycen become strong enough to be Elite four members. I wonder if Game freak is going to keep the 4 Pokemon thing...
If so; Elesa - Ampharos, Galvantula, Zebstrika, Eelektross Brycen - Cryogonal, Beartic, Weavile, Vanilluxe |
If Elesa was an E4 I'll like for her to have Magnezone, Electross, Ampharos, and Zebstika.
Brycen- Jynx, Beartic, Froslass, and Glalie. |
GameFreak /would/ have to do something with two of the original Gym Leaders if Shizui and Homika are all we are getting. That is, if GF is still going with eight gyms only.
I'd like to see Elesa as an Elite 4 member, since she is popular being a model and all. Even more people in Unova would notice her then. Though she better have a new character design/different clothing or I'm calling this lame. u_u On a side note, why take two Gym Leaders into the league? One could very well be off on a different adventure in their life. |

Also Elesa would... not be a great elite four member. XD; I'd feel so disappointed to face her! |

Wow, so much Elesa hate... Not that she's my favorite leader overall (far from it, actually), just my favorite out of the original Unovan bunch. Clay comes in second, and I'd like to see him return too. not sure in what capacity yet... either Gym Leader or Elite Four would work for me, I guess.
I'm still hoping to see (a) a Dark type Gym, and (b) either an Electric type Elite Four or no Electric specialist at all (and if the "chu" family of Pokemon are coming over I just might be rooting for that latter one... that Static ability is one major pain in the... you know). If they do another "multi-path" Gym like Striation was, hopefully it's later in the game so you have some choices for a counter besides the monkey. In White I simply level grinded with Purrloin instead, and that was a chore. |

I don't think you've figured this out yet, but the "frozen Unova" theory has been debunked thoroughly. So Striaton Gym might still exist, either with a new leader or with only one of the trio as leader. I don't see the trio all still having gym leader duties, since apparently there's a different Water gym leader.
