If older Pokémon are in the Pokédex then I'd hope that the Gym Leaders use some too, I can see the water type leader using a Golduck and yeah Ludicolo would suit him.

Homika's guitar has adornments that resemble a Scolipede's horns and tails, so I'm guessing that Venipede (or one of its evolved forms if she's one of the later Gym Leaders) would be on her team. Since there are Pokemon from other regions in B2/W2, I'm also guessing that she could have Zubat or Skorupi as well.

I hope the gym leaders are tougher than they were in BW, they came off as push overs to me battle wise...only Brycen and Iris gave me a challenge...which is one of the reasons I would like to see these two return.

OH MY GOD. They really needed to make the gym leaders ALOT stronger. The gym leaders and the Elite Four were both a joke.

I will NOT stand to believe that there is either no electric-gym or there will be a new electric Gym Leader, because Elesa was the best thing Game Freak ever invented. Though, I do believe there will finally be a Dark-gym, since that's the only one that's being held out on.

The Elite Four the first time was easy since their levels were in the 50's. The only time I had a little trouble with them was when I fought them a second time and their levels jumped like 15 levels. I also really want to be able to fight gym leaders again in their gyms. I mean, literally go up to them and interact with them after you beat them and fight them again after you beat the Elite Four.

Rematches are a must, I'll be quite disappointed if they don't have one after adding them to every third version (and Johto remakes) since Gen III.
I'm guessing Lenora and the Straiton gym leaders are missing, so if there was third new gym who else could be missing? Clay?

I don't know why... but I really want to say the Skyla is gone. She seems like someone who wouldn't be in a sequel... even if she is really hot.

Very interesting design here. The blues and pinks remind me of the specks on Trubbish/Garbador. The guitar is reminiscent of the Venipede family. Her Koffing plays on punk/rock skulls...? Regardless of levels, those three work for me.

If they return gym leader rematches, I hope Homika owns a Roserade. It has white hair, has blue/pink/red colors, and is a pun on rock band Poison's "Every rose has its thorn" song.

Badge: Tainted badge. ANOTHER SONG PUN.


edit: looks like she only has two pokeballs. Venipede and Koffing then. Praying for rematches! v_v

Hmm

Beedrill lv11
Venipede lv11
Koffing lv13

I feel noobish, so I typed that pretty quickly. Also, her hair is so kawaii!

Homika - Poison-type Gym Leader

I was wandering what pokemon do you think she would use in the gym battle. I also want to know what you guys think of what her gym badge will be called.

I speculate
-Koffing
-Venipede

Gym Badge - Acid Badge
Merged your thread into the gym speculation discussion.

Im honestly hoping for more than 8 gyms. If they would break the 2 games and then a third tradition, maybe they'll break the 8 gyms tradition.

Or they could even just have pseudo-gyms. Maybe someone is no longer a gym leader but they chose to keep their gym open as a training place, and you can challenge them even though you don't get a badge for it? It would be interesting without breaking their tradition.

Maybe they could use one of those gyms for how they did in HGSS, where all the Gym Leaders will go depending on what day it is and battle you there for a rematch!

Yes yes yes yes a million times yes, a Dark Gym. Make it the 8th and final leader too, so that they're pretty powerful Dark types. >:D

Imagine fighting Iris in a rematch where she could have the like of Dragonite, Salamence, Garchomp, and Hydreigon...she would be a boss ! same goes for Drayden...
If the final gym were dark I'll like for them to have Tyranitar,Hydreigon, Zoroark, Weavile, Houndoom, and Absol (the last three help keep the team from being overpowered).
 

Ho-Oh

From playing NU I can say Absol isn't under powered by any means tbh. :x

As for Iris & Drayden, don't think they should have all the strongest, perhaps mainly Unova ones, since put them together and that's WAY too overpowered imo. :(
