Gym Leaders and Elite Four
So, guys; what do you wish to see done with gym leaders and members of Elite Four in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? Want some of them to be replaced? Hoping to see them get new sets of clothing? What kind of Pokémon would you expect them to have on their teams? Also, what TMs would you like them to give when you defeat gym leaders?
|
I'm hoping that Wally is indeed the new Champion. As for the Gym Leader lineups, if it's a sequel/remake I can see them being similar, but:
-Roxanne -Brawly -Someone new -Flannery -Someone new -Winona -Someone new, or perhaps just Tate or just Liza depending on your version, or maybe Steven since he already lives on the island -Someone new, because I dislike both Juan and Wallace and want them gone As for the Elite Four... I hope they're tied into the story a bit more because they were nowhere to be seen in the entire game before the League came and that was a bit disappointing. They weren't even in the post-game at all. |
I sure hope they keep the original roster, all of Gym leaders and Elite Four members were unique in their own way.
|
I want every single one of them with some new clothing. That, or replace some of them. Except for Flannery, let's not replace her, haha.
In terms of battling, I still want Tate and Liza to be a double battle, and I sort of want Winona to be a Sky Battle. The Elite Four are completely fine, but let's diversify their teams slightly. Phoebe with two Dusclops, and two Banettes is pretty redundant. Glacia with two Sealeo, and two Glalie is also redundant. I'm aware that this was mainly due to restrictions on the Pokedex, but with Omega and Alpha, hopefully the Pokedex will get expanded for more variety in team options. And, I do not want Wallace as the Champion. Anyone else will do, just not Wallace D: |
Quote:
Pokemon teams should preferably be based on the Emerald updates and derive from Pokemon World Tournament usage. Wattson should use Manectric (I mean, seriously, he doesn't have to walk that far to get one, and it's fitting, being a Hoenn-native Pokemon and all!) while still retaining a Magneton. I hope that post-Generation 3 evolutions (standard ones and Mega Evolutions) get used during rematches, like Phoebe employing a Dusknoir as her signature Pokemon at some point and Sidney using a Mega Absol to trounce foes. Since Mossdeep City Gym has two layouts, maybe OmegaRuby could have the Ruby/Sapphire variant and AlphaSapphire could have the other (or vice versa)? TMs given should either remain the same as from Generation 3 if possible, or at the least be of the same type as well as be useful. I believe all Gym Leaders except for Wallace should remain the same. Juan should be the Gym Leader of Sootopolis Gym while Wallace is available for a match at the Abandoned Ship as a powerful roaming Trainer. It would be nice to see cameos by all of those NPCs that mention Hoenn characters (like Bruno cameoing near Dewford Town, since he's been stated to have trained with Brawly, Dewford Town's Gym Leader). And of course, Steven Stone should be the rightful Hoenn Region Pokemon Champion! As for rematches, either they could be scheduled (better) within a Hoenn Gym Leader's resident Gym, or we could have some assembly-like Fighting Dojo facility (maybe a Battle Tent?) where all the Hoenn Gym Leaders can be challenged. Quote:
If Frontier Brains can be counted here; I'm hoping that they generally remain the same. However, I hope that they receive new Trainer's Eyes/Match Call entries when you meet them, so you can call them and stuff. I'm hoping that the owner of Trainer Hill becomes a Hoenn Pokemon League member and is fleshed out a bit more. I hope that Frontier Brains can appear in Single and Double Battle modes (if applicable), and I hope that they appear even after repeated challenges (for example, even if you already got one facility's Silver Symbol after 35 wins, every time you have to restart your challenge, you continue to face that Frontier Brain as the 35th Trainer, for them to continue testing you). |

I'm expecting the usual new outfits and new TM moves they'll give out just like the previous two remakes. However, their rosters should be the sole feature on whether or not this remake gets a pass or not. Because of how limited the Hoenn dex was, some of the gym leaders, as well as the Elite Four, had horrendus rosters due to having 2-3 Pokemon from the same line or using a Pokemon who is already an ace Pokemon to another type specialist or key important character. Glacia was the worst example, having two Glalies and two Sealos because there were only 3 Ice lines in the dex with none of the previous gen Ice types included to fix the issue. Unfortunately, the two previous remakes show that GF wants to keep their rosters the way they originally are until post-game, which irritates me, because I want their rosters changed from the get-go, so I can have a better experience at battling type specialists without worrying about them wasting slots for Pokemon I've already mentioned. So sorry, Cat, but I have to disagree with you because of that.
|
I'd like to see all the GYM leaders remain, to be honest. I quite enjoyed the double battle with Tate and Liza and would also like to see them again (perhaps a wee bit older, wink wink).
If Steven isn't the Hoenn champion I'm going to set fire to everything. |

I'm hoping Sidney gets to use both Crawdaunt and Sharpedo in a full 6-member team during a rematch (as Sharpedo got replaced by Crawdaunt in Emerald...). |

As for Archie, I didn't know that Sharpedo was Archie's ace...when I think of Archie, I always remember how his team barely has any Water-type Pokemon (shameful of Team Aqua's leader!), so I'm surprised that he bothered to use one as his ace. XD Seeing as how Juan's signature Pokemon is Kingdra, whereas both FireRed/LeafGreen Lance and Emerald Drake use one, I don't mind if Sharpedo is shared between Archie and Sidney at this point, seeing as how only one of the two employs Sharpedo as an ace.. |
I actually think that the Hoenn Gym Leader lineup should be kept the same. I mean, FireRed/LeafGreen and HeartGold/SoulSilver kept the original gym leader lineups from the previous games.

If Steven is not the Champion, then I will be okay with this.
Why? Because then he can be the endgame boss, as he was in Emerald to an extent, and I can battle against him all I want while I call him on my (hopefully included) Pokegear thing and see if he'd like a rematch anytime soon. Hopefully, Wallace will also be doing his own thing now, maybe back to protecting the cave at Sootopolis. Then I can call him for rematches too. I hope the new Pokemon Champ Wally. |

I want them to keep the original roster - Although if we have new protagonists by chance I wouldn't mind seeing Norman as the champion. That's just something I've liked since I was a little kid though. You couldn't really do it in the original games because of the way it was set up, but if Nintendo takes more creative liberties that's something I would adore.
Also seeing Norman in 3D is good enough for me but hey :P |
I feel that there is no reason to change the current roster of gym leaders. Levels may change a little but not too much.
|
Quote:
Also, I wouldn't consider Norman as the worst lineup because: -two Slaking are incredibly hard to deal with at that point of the game, even with Truant. -His Pokemon lineup changed in Emerald to have Linoone, Spinda, Vigoroth and Slaking |
I'd like them to keep the original gym leaders besides Wallace/Juan, he's too easy, he uses a freaking Luvdisc. A new champion but have a battle with Steven post-game, like in emerald. Reaching out on a limb here, but I would love for a final boss battle against Red, even though he's not ties into RSE at all, I've always liked battling Red. Oh, and buff up the leaders and league's levels a bit.
|
I want Gyms and E4 to be actually difficult. XY was the easiest nonsense ever and E4 didn't even have upgraded Pokemon after you beat them the initial time.
I'm thinking a Mega Evo for each E4 Leader and maybe you can go back and rebattle all the Gyms post-game but the Gym Leaders will have upgraded Pokemon and a Mega Evo as well. I WANT MORE POST-GAME CONTENT. Also, I REALLY. REALLY. want a partner who's Pokemon grow at the same rate as yours. Then you can't sweep them with a lv90000000 Rayquaza as they attempt to f*** you up with a lv12 Bidoof. I really do understand that Pokemon is targeted for kids but nowadays, a large majority of the kids in the targeted age group think Pokemon is childish/"gay" and I feel like with a growing complexity to the game, they should look to target young adults who played Pokemon their whole life rather than trying to introduce a game to a new generation of kids. |
I will like to see Wallace as gym leader so that Steven may be champ. Or maybe Wallace will be post game champ(?) and we get to rematch Steven at Meteor Falls.
|
I'd like some backstory on Phoebe, Drake, Glacia, and Sydney. They weren't even mentioned until you were breaking down the E4's door. Especially Phoebe. With clothes like that, you NEED some explanation.
I want redesigns on all the leaders as well, as I thought their clothes were sort of bland. I also want Marlon to make a cameo somewhere, as he's probably from Hoenn. |
I think they should change the order of the gyms a bit. Maybe put in Brawly first, Wattson secnd and Norman third. Roxanne could be the forth and Flannery the fifth. After that, there's no more change, except for Wallace/Juan. I really don't want to see those two jokers again.
Because come on. Have you seen the amount of ladies they're hiding away under their gym? |
I want them to keep the current lineup when it comes to the Gym Leaders. But make them a challenge. That's the one thing that lacked severely for me in BW/B2W2 and XY. None of them were a challenge. Gym Leaders are supposed to be very skilled trainers, top trainers in fact. That fact needs to reverberate within me more when I battle them. I want to get thwarted by them time and time again, I want to rage at my 3DS because they got some absurd critical hit or used another Hyper Potion. I want gym battles to be fun.
Likewise with the Elite Four. More so with the Elite Four really, they're the top 4 trainers in the whole region, they should have a team of six with devastatingly powerful attacks and stats. They also should be smarter. I have BIG expectations of these games, considering how good RSE were and how horrible XY were. I just don't want to get myself too excited over something I think won't happen, haha. d: And yes to Wally being the new Champion! ;O; |
I personally really hope to see wally as the new champion, it would be nice to see him grow up so much. Also wallace was the worst champion...
|
If Remakes, I'm seeing the same except Sootopolis which could be Wallace on OR and Juan on AS or vice versa and E4 is the same with Steven as Champion
If Sequels or brand new storyline > Norman [or Brendan (OR) or May (AS)] = Petalburg City > Roxanne = Rustboro City > Someone new = Dewford Town > Wattson = New Mauville City (possible gym relocation) > Someone new = Fallarbor Town (Lavaridge possibly destroyed by eruption) > Winona = Fortree City > Tate & Liza = Mossdeep City > Brawly = Pacifidlog Town (another gym relocation etc) and for E4 > Phoebe > Flannery > Sidney > Glacia and Drake as Champion with Steven as the final trainer like in Emerald. |

I want Norman to be a E4 member of Hoenn .
I want a new 17 year old handsome champion who dress like a High-school Bad boy and wear an Earphone . (No Pieing) |
It is confirmed OR/AS are remakes, not sequels.
I hope they expand the Pokedex with evolutions introduced in Gen IV. Phoebe can have a Dusknoir and Glacia can have a Froslass. I hope GF includes all of the evolitions, instead of including 3 like in HG/SS. If Mega Evolutions are added to the game, the E4 can have them. Sydney using Mega Absol, Phoebe Mega Banette, Glacia perhaps new Mega Glalie/Walrein and Drake Mega Altaria. Steven of course Mega Aggron. And another hope; please add difficulty modes to the game! Just like BW2. The Gym Leaders can have exyra Pokemon, like Brawly using Heracross and Winona using Tropius. |
I hope they keep the same roster as exact in the originals, yes even Glacia having two Sealeos and two Glalies. Will be interesting to see what Pokemon the E4 and Gym rematches get, since RSE there have been plenty of new Pokemon and evolution of certain Hoenn Pokemon.
|
I wonder if they'll keep the set order or have us pick which one we get to fight. I just hope they handle it better than Gen V and XY have done.
|
I would like the Gym Leaders and Elite Four to have updated looks, like clothing and stuff like that. I think it would be awesome. Also, of course I would like to see updated Gym and Elite Four puzzles. Maybe update some roasters a bit too?
In terms of replacements, I don't want to see anyone replaced. The idea of Norman being in the Elite Four is pretty cool though, so maybe Wally can take his place as the Petalburg City Gym Leader? That'd be cool |
I'd like to see the Elite Four get some more diversity (particularly Phoebe and Glacia, and perhaps Draken a little bit), and I'd like to see Steven as the champion instead of Wallace. Otherwise, they can all stay the same.
|
Well, I actually am really fond of ALL the League members. But as for changes, it depends. If it is a sequel from last time, I still want the opportunity to battle my dad. Because quite frankly, that was awesome. Secondly, I would want a brand new champion. I never played Sapphire or Ruby, so it never stuck with me that Steven was the champion. He was just the cool guy that got me a Kecleon and a Steel Wing TM. And while I never hated Wallace, I certainly wasn't fond of him. He made my life more difficult then it had to be with his Milotic, even if I did like his flashy speeches. So, all in all, new champion. Wally as a champion would be AMAZING!
I would love for Tate and Liz to still be a double battle gym. They gave me a lot of trouble, but it's one of my favourite gyms, even now. One thing I do wish for is more info on the Elite Four. I have a preference to Sidney, but that's just because he looked cool to me as a kid, and has a Mightyena. But I would really like to get to know them a bit better this time around; why did Phoebe choose Ghost types, what region did Glacia come from, why is Drake so awesome? Finally, I really wish there would be a dark type gym. Has anyone else noticed that we have NEVER had one? We've had plenty of Dark type Elite Four members (Karen, Sidney and Grimsley), why not a dark type gym? |
Quote:
Steven, despite being a Steel specialist didn't really have an all-Steel team which was pretty diverse as expected for a champion. He had only half his team in the originals be Steel-types (Skarmory, Aggron and Metagross) while the other half was Claydol and the Hoenn fossil lines (Armaldo and Cradily). |
I think whoever the champion for Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire will have a Mega Evo for their signature Pokemon, just like Diantha and her Gardevoir. So if it's Steven, it would be a Mega Metagross, or if it was Wallace, Mega Milotic.
Or maybe both...? Dunno, I'm pretty ok with the rosters of the Elite 4 though. The rematches with the Gym Leaders and the Pokemon League will undoubtedly have new Pokemon (like Sidney gets Bisharp or something). |
Guys what if Steven&Wallace double champion battle?
|
the hoenn elite four!
So i was thinking about how recent generations have had a sort of courtyard where you can choose which order to face the elite four in, but 3rd gen had the elite four in a set order. So what do you think will happen?
Also do you expect any roster or even member changes? Personally i think pheobe will get a dusknoir. The ice one will get a froslass ( of course assuming we get cross gen evos) i dont like in emerald how wallace was champiin and the last gym was the same type as his.( like gen 2) I do like the choose your order thing as well, so i hope they include that. |
Roxanne better have her Nosepass.
Roxanne Brawly Wattson Flannery Norman Winona Tate & Liza Wallace Sydney Phoebe Glacia Drake Steven PokeNav rematches (if they should ever put the Gym Leaders in for it like they did in Emerald) Roxanne Brawly Wattson Flannery Norman Tate & Liza Juan E4 rematches (should they change the teams a wee bit and higher levels) Sydney Phoebe Glacia Drake Wallace With Steven taking his place as the extra, ultimate battle in Meteor Falls, again. c: |
it would be neat if all the E4 members mega-evolve their ace pokemon, but seeing as they didn't do that in XY, I'd doubt it would happen. Steven's Metagross definitely needs to mega-evolve though. It only makes sense considering Steven is someone whose passion is looking for and collecting rare stones. He's definitely the kind if guy that would have a metagrosite laying around. XD

Roxanne was the most interesting gym leader for me, so I'd like them to keep her. I also think the Elite Four should get a bigger role - Glacia was my personal favorite. :D

I want Winona to have a fabulous new outfit (even though I loved her original look), with her taking on the player in a Sky Battle with a shiny Swellow on her team... I don't think that's too much to ask haha xD
Aside from that as it's a remake I hope they stay true to all the Gym Leaders and Elite Four members, in terms of including them all at the very least although I'm wanting to see revamped looks and perhaps a bit more backstory on some of them :) |
There's the Sootopolis Gym Leader debate but how about the other Gym leades? It's a brand new world so probably a sequel or some years since RSE so we're bound to have new Gym Leaders or a reshuffling of their order. Who do you hope stays? What type of new Gyms would you like to see?
I hope Winona and Tate&Liz stay. I still want a Dark Gym. Do you think they'll be changes in the Elite 4 and what will these be? Who will be the champion? I think the Elite 4 up to the Dragon guy will remain the same. Wally will be Champion. |
I just want them to stay the same. I'm boring, sorry.
I definitely hope that Phoebe stays as one of the Elite Four members. She's my favourite one! I could see Wally being the champion. That could be a cute storyline moment ^^ But I do hope Steven is the champion. He's awesome. |
No, It's already conformed they are full remakes, the the GL will stay the same, but maybe we will get new back story about them and elite four.
|
A minor thing, but I'm hoping that the Elite Four (and Champion) rooms/chambers receive proper, cool names like the ones of the Kalos Pokemon League headquarters.. The only one that technically has a name is the one behind the Champion room, inhabited by the Hall of Fame-recording machine (known as the Room of Glory, since that's what that room's corresponding music track is titled as on the Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire English/Japanese soundtrack release).
|
Since these are remakes, I think it's safe to say the only question on Gym Leaders would be what's going on with Juan (and there's another thread about that).
I actually really liked Tate and Liza...I wish Gyms would do more fun stuff and vary up their battles the way Tate and Liza did (the one real disappointment I have with BW, for example, is that the first Gym isn't a triple battle). So I really hope they aren't changed...unless they're given Male and Female Meowstic, and then Lunatone and Solrock on their team. Then I'll be happy. I don't want the Gym teams to be downgraded, however. No "3 Pokémon-only" teams like in XY. Have them actually rise in difficulty each time. Even give a few of the later Gym leaders some Mega Pokémon! As for the Elite Four, I can't help but wonder--will they keep them in a set order like the originals, or will we have the freedom to choose our order, like the past 3 sets of games? |
Since they've been confirmed to be remakes, I don't think anything's really gonna change in the main story, since that'd kinda contradict the idea of a remake. But I reckon we're probably gonna see a whole lot of post-game stuff, and depending on what it is, it could mean changes to the Gym Leaders/E4. The champion is the only one I see the possibility of being changed with though. Since it didn't consistently stay the same from R/S to Emerald, it could either be Steven or Wallace, or as some people have suggested, possibly Wally.
And on the topic of Wally, while a bit off-topic, I'd definitely love to see more happen to him. We hardly saw anything to him throughout the entirety of R/S, apart from a few battles, and the ability to have a rematch with him at the end of the Victory Road every once in a while, and I wouldn't be surprised if they indeed did expand on his character/his inclusion with the story. |

I'm hoping that we can manually arrange/schedule/select rematches with Gym Leaders (whether in their own Gyms or in a designated gathering facility), as well as selecting Single Battles, Double Battles, Triple Battles, and Rotation Battles (even Inverse Battles and Sky Battles, if possible)... Also, the PokeNav needs to always indicate that the Elite Four and Champion are ready for a rematch (at the very least, Sidney is constantly ready); it just baffled me how they lacked such an icon in Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald despite being ready for battle than pretty much all of the other NPC Trainers.
Quote:
In any case, I'll likely be challenging them in the classic "Sidney, Phoebe, Glacia, Drake" order enforced by Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, since I've grown so accustomed to it. {:3} I hope that this order gets some sort of nod (like how Unova had statues that suggested a certain "order", IIRC). |
What I want is a difficult mode. And at the start of the game. I remember having issues with the Hoenn gym but I want to really have them brutal as an option.
And while it doesn't meant changing gym leaders I'd love if they used anime rules like only 3 on 3 and not as many as you have on a gym leader. Seems unfair |
They will keep same pokemon for the MAIN part of the game... maybe during rematches (i.e time you get NATIONAL DEX) they would be having a new pokemon or two.
Also what's with people saying they want a new gym leader... I mean GF said it is REMAKE NOT A SEQUAL. Only change I can see is maybe they have Wallace as final Gym leader in OR and have Steven as champion in OR since OR is all about land while in AS we have Jaun and Wallace as Champion? |
I want steven as champion
|
I want to see at least one or two of them replaced. It would be nice if Roxxanne gives Stealth Rock. I think that move should have stayed a TM. As for Elite Four, I really hope their teams are more diverse. Drake was a damn joke in Ruby& Sapphire

1st Gym: Rock Tomb 2nd Gym: Bulk Up 3rd Gym: Shock Wave 4th Gym: Overheat 5th Gym: Facade 6th Gym: Aerial Ace 7th Gym: Calm Mind 8th Gym: Water Pulse Now, only two of those moves in question lost TM status in 5th Gen (Shock Wave got replaced by Sludge Wave, Water Pulse got replaced by Psyshock) so I think the 3rd and 8th Gyms will give out a different move of the same type (Electric and Water in this case) in OR/AS. 3rd Gym's new TM prize I think should be Charge Beam or Volt Switch (although we had previous Electric-type Gyms give out those as well, but then again a few of the Kalos Gyms gave out non-6th Gen moves as TMs. Grant even gave out Rock Tomb as his TM prize as well, just like Roxanne did) while 8th Gym will probably give out Scald (although Unova's 8th Gym in B2/W2 had that same thing). I've got a feeling the rest will keep their original TM prizes. |
I would love if each gym leader gets a story arc. Nothing too big but it seems we have been getting that in Gens after 3.
|
My guess for TMs in ORAS, if there is more than one, the first one is what I think is most likely:
Roxanne - Rock Tomb Brawly - Bulk Up/Power Up Punch Wattson - Volt Switch/Charge Beam Flannery - Overheat/Flame Charge Norman - Facade/Retaliate Winona - Aerial Ace Tate&Liza - Calm Mind/Psyshock/Trick Room Juan/Wallace - Scald |
I would rather have them change all of them aesthetically for nostalgic purposes. Just change up their clothing and teams; remodel the gyms and the Elite Four/Champion rooms.

I'm hoping they keep the original lineup for the E4 And Gym Leaders.

I want them to keep Stewen :P

Quote:
Wanted to add Sky Drop actually, but only Pelipper and Skarmory can learn it. Power up punch for Brawly could be very devastating as well. It raises Attack and inflicts damage at the same time. Now with the new special/physical split, bulk up may not be as significant as it was in RSE... But for realism (this is the 2nd gym), I think Bulk Up is still the more likely TM. |
Quote:
I totally agree about the Trick Room part, especially since it's a double battle and most of their Pokémon spam Calm Mind, but their original TM Calm Mind was probably the most useful TM in the entire game (basically OHKOd Wallace's entire Champion team), so I'm hoping we get that instead. Flannery could use Overheat and Flame Charge to her advantage because of the Physical/Special split, because using Overheat wouldn't affect Flame Charge's power if you manage to scrape by with low HP. Wattson should definitely give out Charge Beam because his Manectric and Magneton would be much more deadly if they are equipped with it, a few Charge Beams and Double Teams and then Thunderbolt. |
Quote:
However, I would see myself use Calm Mind more than Trick Room, definitely. Volt Switch is more of an annoyance than power, which is actually quite perfect for a 3rd gym. I remembered in BW Elesa's Emolgas were annoying as heck, but not really difficult. |
Elite Four wasn't that easy at all. I hope some Pokemon fixes on their teams tho.

Man, it could be TERRIBLY nasty, and perfect for possibly a rematch. |

As for the other leaders, I hope they get some changes as well. The last gym could have a Gyarados (WTR/FLY), Tentacruel (WTR/PSN), or even a Kingdra in addition to Milotic and Whiscash. Milotic is the star of course, but other add ons could be great. |
Quote:

Quote:
Milotic with mirror coat. Yum. Actually, GF could add in some sort of puzzle to reach the Elite Four member. Sidney can have a maze in some sort of dungeon, Phoebe's room can be similar to one in the Ecruteak Gym, Glacia an ice puzzle and Drake... No idea. Haha. Gyms have puzzles, they could certainly do it with the E4 as well. |
Oh yeah, Tate and Liza two additional Pokemon in Emerald. Hope they decide to use their Emerald team, Lunatone and Solrock alone are challenging but it's more fun with more Pokemon ofc.
|
Quote:
This may also slow down grinding by rebattling the Elite Four postgame. |
i dunno, the only one i'd want to get replaced is the 5th gym but i always found hoenn to have among the hardest of gym's in the series (i always start treecko) so i'd like them to keep it like that.
|
Get Glacia a better team and get Steven to be the champion. >:)
|
The Elite Four isn't about solving puzzles. Their Pokemon are supposed to be extremely powerful and difficult enough to defeat so as not to merit an extra challenge like a maze. Gyms are still no piece of cake, but I think it's better to keep the best four trainers in the league in simple rooms that display their type specialty.

I actually struggled with the Hoenn league when I first played Ruby. Let's hope they won't make them easier. |
I think Gym leader and Elite members will be same actually i never played ruby or saphire i start playing pokemon from Black and white but i Hope its Same
|
All the old ones from pokemon ruby and sapphire. And i also think it would be Them. Because in hgss it was the same gym leaders as gs
|
They could make Drake more difficult by giving his Shellgon Evolite, as well as the moves protect and Toxic. Shellgon already has good defenses, so evolite will increase them greatly. Protect is to wear us out. Even with the introduction of more protect breaking moves all of them happen to be physical, so it's defense stat will be annoying. We'll have to wait until protect to no longer work to take it down. I guess the Fairy type will make it easier since Shellgon doesn't have the best special defense stat. Though if it keeps Dragon Breath it could paralyze us...and use something like Iron Tail to lower our defenses (and to take care of Fairy types).
|
They'd probably do that in a Challenge Mode type situation, but not for the regular mode. There's a huge range of skill from people playing Pokemon; complete beginners to seasoned competitive veterans. Fighting Pokemon with held items, set-up move sets, and strategies may be too much for the average gamer to overcome, causing enjoyment to plummet. If they do change the difficulty of the gym leaders and elite four to that extreme, hopefully it's an optional change.
|
Quote:
I hope GF wont pull too many punches like they did in XY. It really isnt a challenge anymore tbh. |
I kinda want Sydney to be replaced. Tbh, he wasn't that memorable at all. They should try to bring them out more... But that's just me.
|
If one of them must be replaced, I would choose Glacia. Looks like a generic middle aged woman with a simple team of Ice type Pokemon. Her design is forgettable and there's nothing special about the concept behind her. If anyone, she deserves the boot. d: I loved Sydney's hairdo, and at least he actually looked like a Dark type specialist.
|
I think Glacia was a pun take on the Ice Princess figure. Instead of being actually cold in personality she used Ice Pokemon...haha...
I hope that they add backstory to the gym leaders. Also I want them to appear outside of their gyms more. Brawly could be seen surfing at certain times of day. Maybe mention he knows this guy who wrestles in Sinnoh but is a water specialist. Roxanne could be seen teaching her students. Winona could get a story. Maybe they'll add in an airport in an open space, or in the outskirts of Fortree where she flies (post game maybe we'll see Skyla go meet Winona from there) a small biplane. Wattson could simply get an expanded New Mauville story. Norman could be a less distant father. Juan could be first met in the contest hall, or maybe Wallace (no matter if he's the champion or gym leader) as we don't see either of them except for during the crisis. Flannery could be seen attending the hotsprings. |
Quote:
But yeah I am hoping that Game Freak can do the balance of making it easy enough for newer players but still hard enough for older fans at the same time. The reason many complained about X and Y was the Exp. Share mechanics making their team overleveled once they like, almost reached the second gym, assuming they didn't rotate team members constantly. I guess they were catering too much towards the younger, newer players when they changed the mechanics of the Exp. Share. |
I hope the Elite Four show up somewhere outside of Ever Grande City, especially because they are considered some of the strongest in the region and they barely do anything to help stop Teams Aqua & Magma.
I hope they aren't changed, though. I thought all the gym leaders & elite four were tough enough just as they were. |
Yeah I hope their not changed but maybe they could look different.
