Okay, so we have a "most annoying Gym Leader" thread, right?
Well, here's one that's a little more positive:

Which Gym Leader is your favourite?

It could be for any reason; Anime appearances (Although that belongs in Anime really), their choice of pokémon, their appearance, participation in your adventure outside of their gym...anything. It's multiple choice as you can choose for both FireRed and LeafGreen and Ruby and Sapphire or Emerald.

Oh, and Tate and Liza are considered one entity, as they are only battleable and spoken with as a pair.

Saying I like Wallace would be an understatement. Not only does he use one of my favourite pokemon (Milotic) but I dont think there had been a gym leader quite as debonair or graceful as Wallace. I probably sound like I'm gushing now but his dialogue in the game and manga just makes him appear to be quite respectable.

I also want to throw in that I forgot to vote for Erika too, she's so polite and elegant, plus if I were a gym leader, I would want mine to be filled with female trainers like her own is.

In short, I really like the courtley leaders.

Well, I might as well answer my own question...

Fr/Lg: Blaine. I like them all uniquely, and while Giovanni's the best, I don't like him as much. His Hg/Ss team is better. Blaine has good choice in pokémon - Arcanine, Rapidash (which I've never used, but often intended to) and possibly Ninetales? I'm not sure about Ninetales, but he should do if he doesn't have one. His appearance in the manga makes him pretty awesome, what with Mewtwo and saving Red a lot and teaming up with Entei. So...yeah. Blaine all the way.

R/S/E: It's a tie between Brawly and Flannery. Both use some pretty cool pokémon, i.e. Makuhita and Hitmontop, Torkoal and Camerupt. Brawly's a kinda cool surfer dude and Flannery has a nice rack.They both appear fairly good in the manga too. Looking at the poll, I should've given Brawly some love, but Flannery got my vote.

Blaine has always been my favorite, probably because I love fire types and Arcanine :3

Since there isn't any Ghost type gym leaders up there I'm going to have to go with my second favorite type which is Poison. Although Ericka is a Poison/Grass type gym leader, it is not enough so I'm going to have to go with Koga

Giovanni. Because he's, you know, a crime boss and all. Blaine also pretty awesome though, and Jasmine is the most attractive out of all of them.

Lt.Surge is my favorite 'cause he's electrifying and I love electric-type Pokemon, so he's my favorite.
Did you see what I did there with "electrifying"? :P

I've always liked Tate and Liza, simply because it was a 2-on-2 battle. The first time I played Ruby, it took me by total surprise. Not to mention my first two pokemon out were Blaziken and Hariayma, so it goes without saying my first two got pummeled.

Voted Erika, Sabrina, Roxanne, and Norman. :) I just really like the serene feel of their gyms.

I always felt that Tate and Liza were cheating. The U.S. doesn't have two Presidents, does it? They're starting to grow on me, though.

Misty was my favourite. I like Water Types, and I like her design better then Wallace and Juan. Sigh, if only she had a Vaporeon, then she would be so much better.

For FRLG it has to be Koga. He gave me so much trouble it wasn't even funny! ;;

And for RSE it's the darling Brawly. Oh did he keep me from advancing so many times. On my first ever run through of Ruby I didn't defeat him until my team was mid-20's. \:

None of my favorites use my favourite type, however.
