Out of all the gym leaders in X/Y, I only remember Clemont and Korrina and none from the E4. Maybe it's because I haven't played the game in ages but I come across a lot of sixth gen pokemon and go 'whoa what's this?'. Guess I don't know the gen that well haha. :(

YAY LOVE VILEPLUME ETC <3

I don't even remember who Korrina is after reading your post! Clemont I think was the Electric-gym...? And I honestly can't name another paha. Thinking back to XY I can hardly name any of those either - Homika/Roxie, Marlon, Cilan/Chili/Cress, Lenora, Skyla, Drayden/Iris... nope I'm stuck .-.

Not a fan of Vileplume even though it was in one of my favorite Orange Island episodes!

Squirrel, I love the fact that you said "thinking back to X/Y" to name the Gym Leaders...then you start naming the B/W Gym Leaders. And Roxie wasn't a Unova Gym Leader. She's from Hoenn.

A lot of X/Y Gym Leaders are forgettable to me. Part of it might have been because I only played through Y once. Another part could be because they didn't really do much in the grand scheme of the story, unlike other Gym Leaders of other regions.

I think you mean Roxanne is from Hoenn! Unless you were cracking a joke with Squirrel? xD

Oh. I guess that's what I get for typing a post that size really fast. I didn't have time to think things over.

I'll leave it up to immortalize the occasion!

Don't worry about it, haha.

As for the topic, I agree with mostly everyone else that many of the X/Y Gym Leaders were forgettable, even if I indeed loved the game. Heck, I keep forgetting that Citron's dub name is Clemont, and that's because I know him a lot better for his anime counterpart.

Aslan April 14th, 2015 10:56 PM

Didn't even realise that Clemont went by a different name! His name in the games is already fitting enough though he could also be an Arnold or Isaac.

Also how different do you guys think gyms would be if gym leaders didn't specialise in one type? I think it could allow for a lot more strategy though I'm not sure if it'd be a good idea or not.

Meadow April 14th, 2015 11:05 PM

I honestly think Cheren would make the perfect multi-type Gym Leader. Unfortunately, Game Freak thought otherwise...

Starry Windy April 14th, 2015 11:06 PM

Well, I think they have tested it out back then in Diamond and Pearl, iirc, when they specialize in giving any Pokémon the move that is related to the Gym Leader's type instead of using Pokémon related to the type at some point, and that's quite a bit odd.

Platinum did change the Gym Leader system back to its roots, tho.

17 I missed out on so many pokemon + you discarded Clefairy..... :c I should have been more active!

I like that most gym have only have one type, The gyms are designed nicely after the type and you can see a few (new) pokemon of the same type. I know it can be easy if you have one pokemon that is super effective against the other.

@ Windy: I forgot completely about the fiasco that was Flint in D/P. I think it was maibly due to the lack of fire types in Sinnoh but his team was certainly strange. As Precious said though, gyms and E4 are good for showing off the new pokemon introduched each generation which they did pretty well!

Also just a thought - what if you could go back and battle the older professors like Oak, Elm etc? You'd think they would have good teams based on all the fieldwork they do and I think a battle with Oak was even gonna be a thing in the original games. It'd be cool to battle professors other than Sycamore though. :]

Since when do the professors fieldwork? They just sit in the lab and let ten year old kids do the work for them.

Vileplume is saved! :D Next up: Paras!

I think battling professors would be a great idea! I imagine they'd be a good challenge to look forward to after defeating the Pokemon League.

Professor Sycamore was a nice start to battling professors.

Sadly, I remember very little about X/Y. :( It's not the most memorable game.

X/Y seems to be rather forgettable in comparison to the likes of DPPT. They're fun games for sure, but there's a lot that could be forgotton.

Pokemon X and Y introduced some great Pokemon, like Greninja, Talonflame, Tyrantrum, and more. I also loved the big regional dex.

Squirrel April 15th, 2015 8:53 AM

Paras is a cool Pokémon, very cute and I love the whole "zombie" theme the line has haha.

Lycanthropy April 15th, 2015 8:57 AM

16

Not to forget the move Spore, which can be extremely strong.

blue April 15th, 2015 9:01 AM

The Paras line is probably my favourite from Gen I, only problem is the low stats and weaknesses.

Squirrel April 15th, 2015 9:51 AM

18

Does anyone else find the whole zombie fungus thing creepy? XD

Aslan April 15th, 2015 11:50 AM

YES

I think it's terrifying that a cute little hermit crab basically becomes soulless as it evolves. And while it's not its fault for being infected by parasites, it's still awful to think about. :(

Parasect does actually look good though! I'm just not sure how I feel about what happened to it haha.

Meadow April 15th, 2015 12:08 PM

Wasn't Professor Oak originally programed as an unused Trainer in Generation I? It could've been a rumor, but I honestly have no clue. (I even heard that Mew was on his team!)

blue April 15th, 2015 12:41 PM

11 - Parasect up now!

You're right. In RBY there is an unused trainer slot specifically for Oak, his team is something like Exeggutor, Tauros, Arcanine, Gyarados and the fully evolved starter that was left behind.

Aslan April 15th, 2015 12:51 PM

I think there's a glitch in Yellow that the trainer can perform to access the battle with Oak! Don't remember what it involves but I did end up having one playthrough of Yellow where I attempted stuff like Glitch City, Missingno, lvl 100 Nidoking before the first gym... it's amazing that people can uncover all this.

So does anyone here glitch their game or have any favourite glitches? First gen ones are the most hilarious though I've also managed to stuff up 4th gen. :]
