Gym Leaders/Elite Four Speculation
Every region always brings us a new lineup of Gym Leaders and Elite Four members, each specializing in a given type. What are you hoping to see out of the possible new Gym Leaders/Elite Four etc? Like what types they would use? Or maybe what designs they could be based on to represent that type? Or maybe what the new badges might be called?
|
I'd hazard a tentative guess that we're getting at least a Water Gym based off of this building. It's ridiculously big but note the Water types plastered around the edges and the pokeball emblem up top.
Of course, it could turn out to be some sort of museum or private-owned mansion like the one in Kalos or something else altogether if that even is a final screenshot of the finished in-game design. |
Pokemon Moon better bring a Dark-type Gym Leader, that is something that is way overdue. D:
|
Dark type Gym. That's all I ask. Failing that...
I actually want to see the Gyms NOT employ a strict one-type deal. Maybe have Gyms be based around certain strategies, have Gyms do a central theme to them having types centered around that theme. Stuff like that. |
I wanna see a dark type gym but I also wanna see diversity with gym leaders , I don't wanna see a dark gym with two poochyenas and one mightyenna
|
I have to go with what everyone else it saying, I hope for a dark type gym. It's long overdue, I also wouldn't mind having a flying type elite four member. I don't think we've had one so far, so that would be a nice change.

Yes, I want a Dark-type Gym please since we haven't had it so far.
And if possible, try having a Fairy-type Elite Four/Gym for a continuation of the Fairy-type domination. |
i came into this thread with the express purpose of saying in big letters "Dark type gym" but i see you all have that covered.
so considering there's a "Moon" and apparent night time theme, maybe there's a good chance we'll see a Dark type leader. if it won't happen because of the type's Japanese name, that's truly a missed opportunity. i mean Eevee's Dark evolution only happens are night are you really gonna miss how great of a theme that is. |
Can we have a Grass Type Elite Four please? It is astonishing we have not had it yet.
I have a feeling we will get a Rock Type Gym early on as is normally the case and a Poison Gym as the seventh or eighth Gym. More to the point though can we please have some character development of Gym Leaders. In Kalos The only Leader who got anything was Korrina. |
Would be nice to see another Misc. Type Gym Leader again
Spoiler:
|
I hope they break the tradition and use multitype gyms.
Dark type and Water type are mostly linked to the moon. I could see a Water/Dark gym. |
Agreeing with the majority here that there needs to be a Dark type gym. It's way overdue!
|
I really want a Normal-type Elite Four member. We've never had one of those; it'd be a nice change from the standard Dragon users we're always getting. I expect we'll wind up with a Fairy-type Elite Four member as well.
Version exclusive Gym Leaders would be awesome, too. It'll never happen, but I'd love it if it did. It'd really personalise the experience, and give me an excuse to play both versions myself for a change. |
I'd like to see the Elite Four have a bigger role in the story or post-story in this game. They're supposed to be the strongest trainers in the game and yet they mostly just sit in a room and have very little character development. If the region (or world) is in crisis I would like to see them take a bigger role, like Steven/Wallace did when the whole planet was getting wrecked by Kyogre and Groudon.

What I mainly want to see are things that haven't been done before. Not just a Dark gym, but an Ice gym that isn't 7th or 8th, a Steel gym than isn't 6th, a Rock gym that isn't 1st, a new female Water specialist, a new male Ghost specialist, an Electric specialist who isn't light-haired, stuff like that.
As for the Elite Four, please let them use types besides the overdone Ice/Fighting/Ghost/Dragon/Psychic/Dark. Just because the Indigo League used those types doesn't mean that every single other E4 needs to have those types, too. I'll still never forgive Hoenn and Unova for so blatantly regurgitating the Indigo E4 types when they could've easily done something else, something that Sinnoh (Bug/Ground/Fire/Psychic) and even Kalos (Fire/Steel/Water/Dragon) deserve kudos for. And, speaking of the E4, can GF start treating their characters with respect? They're supposed to be the region's strongest trainers, yet are usually more cardboard and less developed than even the most boring Gym Leaders. They were the only important trainers excluded from the PWT, and they're rarely, if ever, seen on the anime. |

Also, having some Gym Leader antagonists again would be great! Haven't had one of those since Giovanni, and it was nice battling him at the end of the first gen games in a more official capacity; it was a nice resolution to things. |
I think something cool might be version exclusive leaders for the last gym! For the Sun version we could have a Fairy typed gym leader and for Moon we could finally get that much anticipated Dark gym leader. BW had this but both were a Dragon leader so this would be a little different. Would be cool to have a little more distinction between the two games :)

I want...
Gyms 1st: Dark(first dark gym) 2nd: Rock 3rd: Ice(breaks the trend of the ice gyms being late-game) 4th: A new type? 5th: Fighting 6th: Electric 7th: Stel 8th: I'm not sure yet. Maybe Grass. E4 1st: Water 2nd: Fire 3rd: Ground 4th: Dragon Just my thoughts tho. |
I want a freaking dark type gym i mean comeon we have 6 gens it needs to come soon! Plus id love to see a fairy E4's room thatd be cool!

But my concern is, if that were to happen, we would never get a true Dark-Type Gym, because it would be half Dark, half something else. Once we get a real Dark-Type Gym, though, I'd be so ready for dual-Type Gyms, or "themed" Gyms (I can imagine Whitney running one of those under the "cute" theme, now that her team is one Fairy- and one Normal-Type Pokémon, for example).

That all being said, no Dark-Type Gym, no buy I'm hoping the Dark Gym is late-game, 7th or 8th, so it can really make up for all those gens of not having one. |
Personally, I'd love to be able to rematch the Gym Leaders. Maybe a system like Origins implied where you can go back to the first Leader after gaining more badges and his/her team and levels change depending on how many badges you have.
Like someone said, I'd like both the Gym Leaders and Elite 4 to have more of a role in the overall region than simply battle once and move on. |

Flying was only used once as the first gym and I remember it was hard for most people.
