Why not Nick? Do you think she's not qualified or something enough? :(

I didn't like her to begin with. This only makes me dislike her more.

The whole gym leader type chain is also a little too Johto for me. I had expectations for something different. :/
I knew someone was going to say this...it is a bit of Johto especially the end but I like the Johto typing anyways :)

Yeah that's what I noticed with the last two gyms, but... it does mean they're connecting HG/SS to B/W in a way (because most people seem to like Johto so..?) Then again, the way they present the gyms will probably be different. I just hope that there's a big storyline involved with Iris' gym.

Yeah I do too Gen 4 began making gym leaders a bit more into the story line with them showing up outside of there gyms, so I hope they expand on that and make a connection with the evil team :)

The gym leader chain is mainly, in my opinion, Johto with a little bit of Hoenn tossed in. I like Johto. I like the gym leaders in Johto (all but Chuck), but it seems like they're just trying to hold onto something... I'll always compare Iris and Claire because of this. Maybe that's a reason why I don't like her being a gym leader, because I compare her to one of the greatest gym leaders in the Pokémon world (in my opinion, anyway). I just wish they went on the edge and did something a little different. The first gym aside, this chain is boring.

Wow you are the first person I know who like Clair...most have a neutral opinion on her...
Ah Hoenn+ Johto= Win :D!

Hoenn + Johto = fail when trying to create a gym leader chain in a region that's supposed to be far away and in a generation that ~I~ anticipated to be so much better than any of the ones before.
Well they did change the first gym up a lot so I'm not disappointed by the rest, as long as we had no rock gym this gen I'm good :D

Nah I disagree, Hoenn+Johto almost always equals good things.
Yes the last two have been done but I mean it's not hard to explain why they chose the order (well at least when it comes to Iris.) Dragon is easily the "coolest" type. I know when I was younger, dragons were the shizz, making the Iris the gym leader while introducing her as Ash's companion in the anime equals some awesome marketing. And Dragon is a little to strong to be anything earlier than 6 or 7.

As far as Ice being 7th for the second time (in a row) I'm not sure, but terrain wise it might just make sense. To me the biggest dissapoitment is no Dark gym, but having no Rock gym kind of balances that out, besides that the order is mostly arbitrary to me. =/

Edit: (woah when did you get Supermodded? I'm so out of the loop :P Congrats! Better late than never I guess.)

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

Iris isn't the 8th gym leader for White according to PokeBeach. Instead, the people with White will get an old man!

Wow. Just. Wow.

I wonder why this has happened... hmm. Maybe something to do with young vs old, natural vs man-made, so it's like ying/yang with everything in the games? idk.

... and of course I got White version. -sigh-
I wanted to battle Iris, not a dinky old guy. D:

I love the concept of the yin-yang in the final gym leader, but why? Did it have to be like that? It's really lame to people who get White I'd say.
I'm sure they would rather battle Iris.

There is the chance that Iris could have another role in the game instead of gym leader, same for the old man. Either way, leaving out Iris for the White players is sort of pointless, so there has to be some sort of sub-plot there.

Maybe the dude is her Dad? haha xDD so i guess he's the Gym leader in the Anime hhaha
i guess...
pfft it's whatever i'm getting both games so i'll just have to fight them both
it's unique that they did this haha it's like no matter what game you get or starter you pick
the game will be different each time you play it... i guess that's what they were going for
heehee -^^- it's nice.... i think so anyway b;<

I like the old dude better then iris, i didnt like her in the first place.
However... kamitsure!!! definitely the best leader so far, i cant w8 to see what pokemon she has. :/ they should have put her as a 7th leader.
Event exclusive gyms, yeey. This should be a gen to remember.
