I think we will be able to fight both Iris and shaga in the third version
or a new gym leader like in emerald.
C'mon stop talking about the third version D:<

Black and White have been released.

Talk about them instead :/

I really wanted a triple battle gym leader D:

I quite like this set of Gym Leaders! How long has it been since we've seen a proper Ground-Type Gym? On the other hand, how long has it been since we've seen a proper Poison-Type Gym (a new one, I mean; Fuchsia Gym in HG/SS is just a remake of an older Gym)? And what about a Dark-Type Gym? Other than those complaints, Game Freak has managed to please me once again.
If your name was Dexter Phillip, would you have a 'Dex to fill up? Hooray for corny puns.

Okay well if those are the gym types than 4 of these types make up the E4
FIGHTING-90% Chance this will happen tons of good fighting types in Isshu and this always gets spammed in the E4
DARK-60% Chance This guy might pull the hydra, not to mention the dark leopard and lizard
ROCK-20% Other than Gigiasu and the fossils there aren't many good rock types in Isshu
PSYCHIC-70% Chance-There are a LOT Of Psychic types in Isshu, most are pretty good.
POISON-2-Poison Types suck and there's only like 4 in Isshu anyhow
STEEL-70%-Lots of Powerful Steel types in Isshu and there has never been a Steel E4
GHOST-50%-Not a bad pool of Ghost Types to pick from at all

The Hydra's last form won't be used since the middle evolution evolves at Lv64. Steven was the champ in R/S although his team wasn't all steel their was steel.
I'd like the E4 to have :

No.1
Steel

No.2
Ghost

No.3
Ice - We haven't had an Ice type E4 since R/S

No.4
Fire - We've got lots of new one's

Champ
Electric/Poison/Dark









Charmageddon

Charizard has evolved into ^

My initial opinions:

Gym 1 - I really liked the idea here, it's a little new and different. And thank the Lord for not another Rock gym! :D Not sure what the dog (Yooterii) is doing there - but I'm still very happy with it.
Gym 2 - Good, we haven't had too many Normal-type gyms. I think that the signature Pokemon should be something a little better than the local rodent though. And the evolved form of the dog we got at the last gym too (Haderia)
Gym 3 - I wanted a bug gym, but I really wanted it to be a later one. Bug's aren't inherently weak, they don't have to be cosigned to early gyms. Hoping that that cacoon thing (Hoiiga) is better than Kakuna/Metapod/Silcoon/Cascoon, or it's just be a walkover
Gym 4 - Eh. Electric is cool I guess. I don't like the double Emongas though - there were 11 Electric types introduced this generation, with some really interesting typings like Bug/Electric and Electric/Ground - there's no need to repeat. I'm very much against repeating Pokemon in gym/E4 line-ups.
Gym 5 - Yes, we got a Ground-type gym. And in a good position too. And the line-up is excellent - probably the best gym in the game, I have absolutely no problems with it.
Gym 6 - This one I'm less happy with. We've already had a Flying-type gym in 6th position. And with 11 Electric types and a Water/Flying (Swanna) as signature Pokemon, it's likely to be a piece of cake (Winona had that ******* Altaria that made her a challenge).
Gym 7 - *HEADWALL* Another Ice gym? Another Ice gym in seventh position? Another ice gym with a freaking sliding ice puzzle? My god, why does GameFreak think we have the memories of a goldfish? It's ridiculous, it really is.
Gym 8 - And ho-hum, another Dragon gym in 8th position. The gym leaders changing on version seems like a good idea, but the line-up seems to remain the same so it seems like a bit of a gimmick to me. At least with Ononokusu to battle it should be a bit of challenge.

But then I look at the line-ups again... seriously, only 3 Pokemon a piece for them? We'll probably have a full team by the time we reach the 6th gym, there really should be more than 3 Pokemon for those last 3 or 4 gyms.

One last thing.... WHERE THE HELL IS OUR DARK-TYPE GYM?

Oh wow... when GameFreak said they wanted to level the playing field, they didn't just bring in the bulldozers they just dynamited everything. Three Pokemon for the Gym Leaders?

I'm getting the feeling that Generation V isn't going to be a long generation, and Nintendo is just preparing us for Gen VI on the 3DS.

Kinda off-topic: I've decided that Kamitsure is awesome. A theme took shape pretty fast. O_O

More on-topic: Above; I absolutely agree. The Gym Leader teams could be way more original and awesome like Kamitsure's, for example.
Perhaps they're saving the interesting teams for the rematches, or the third version? :P

Yeah. I can't wait for the third game if it's like that.
PLUS we might get to experience Gym Leader animations too! ;D

Yeah, I was looking forward to Iris. But I wanted to get Black (at least, right away) but she may actually turn me around to white. But do the gym leaders have their artwork out yeat? I look forward to drawing them.

I think it is crap that the gym leaders only have a max of 3 m pokemon. I can tell B/W will be the easiest games so far.


EDIT: WTF the Ice Gym leader has an Icicle badge which is the same name as Candice's badge! Aren't they always meant to be different?

I wish there was a Dark Type Gym :(.
You may wish that, but I think the gym types we have already are pretty good. Though, that isn't saying that there won't be a new gym in the third game (because hey, these games are apparently revolutionary) that is actually dark type. Pluuuus you can't expect Game Freak to be creative with every aspect! ...or can you? XD

Seeing how they're throwing the gym leaders in all possible directions in these games, I think Nica has a big point.
