I would be the 2nd or 3rd gym leader of the region, I would specialize on Normal types -

- Watchog
- Linoone
- Zangoose
- Furret
- Persian
- Delcatty

early in the region, I'd probably use 2 or 3 of them during a battle.

instead of 'Catch 'em All' for me would be "gotta Pet 'Em All"

This thread is better suited for Pokemon Voting Polls, so I'm going to go ahead and move it over there.

And I've never considered myself to have a specialty, but I do notice that I've been using Ghost-types a lot more frequently as of late. If I were to be a Ghost-type Gym Leader, I think that my party would be:
  • Misdreavus
  • Haunter
  • Drifblim
  • Lampent
  • Rotom
  • Froslass
I could see myself as the 6th or 7th Gym Leader of a region, so I would probably only use 4 of the 6, and I'd rotate through them for each battle.

MOVED.

Grass of course!

I would like to be the sixth or seventh gym leader and my team would be:
Cradily
Sceptile
Jumpluff
Ludicolo
Since gym leaders don't normally use six and this would cover a lot of weaknesses.

Hmmm. Tbh I'd want to be like Green and not have a special type. Rather, a special kind of pokémon - slashing types! My pokémon would be sent out in this order, and I would be maybe the 5th gym leader. Depending on what the norm of levels is there, Sneasel and Scyther might be evolved.

Scyther

Water, of course! I've always been a fan of Water-type Pokemon so it would be perfect. I suppose my Pokemon would be along the lines of this:

- Azumarill
- Lanturn
- Dewgong
- Starmie

That said I suppose I would end up being the 6th or 7th gym with that group of Pokemon.

Keeping it pretty old school I see!

Well my two favourite types are Dark and Dragon so I'll do two teams.

Dark Team

Tyranitar
Honchkrow
Spiritomb
Hydreigon

Dragon Team

Salamence
Garchomp
Kingdra
Hydreigon

Water! Water types have always been my favorite, so I could not see myself going any other way. I'll choose my team from a realistic standpoint and leave out starters, but I'm going to use all the gens since I can't choose, haha.

Starmie - Water / Psychic
Poliwrath - Water / Fighting
Jellicent - Water / Ghost
Kingdra - Water / Dragon
Lapras - Water / Ice
Seismitoad - Water / Ground

I can see myself being the last gym leader, since all of my Pokemon are pretty up there. I've got great type coverage from all points to take down any competitor. Any takers?

I'd use Rock-types due to their huge diversity and to show that they don't always have to be stuck as the first gym. I'd be the 8th gym leader of the region and use a team mostly of fossils because they're the coolest Rock-types. I'd use Relicanth as my main Pokémon with the full team of;
  • Omastar
  • Armaldo
  • Bastiodon
  • Rampardos
  • Aerodactyl
  • Relicanth
I'd ideally want to throw in some others like Lunatone, Aggron, Onix, etc, but I think the fossil theme works best.

Mine would have to be Ghost since it's my favorite type. This team isn't balanced or well thought-out in any way, I just pulled them off the top of my head haha. There's too many ghosts for me to choose!

-Lampent
-Dusclops
-Banette
-Mismagius
Yo, isn't Finneon an Eevee evolution? I mean, it has -eon in the name...

I'd be the 8th gym leader with the following pokemon:

- Mienshao
- Conkeldurr (even though it's ugly as hell)
- Scrafty
- Breloom
- Golurk (although he's not a fighting-type)
MAIN: Machamp / Terrakion (IDGAF if Terrakion's a legendary)

Yup, a Fighting-type gym leader.

I'd probably be a second/third gym leader, specializing in grass types. My Pokemon would be:
  • Turtwig (Torterra is too strong, pfft)
  • Snover
  • Deerling
  • Roselia/Roserade

As cliché as this is, I would definitely be a dragon type gym leader.

My Pokemon would be as follows:
-Hydreigon
-Salamence
-Fraxure
-Garchomp
-Noivern
-Shelgon

How can you just pick one type? If I were a Gym Leader, I would not pick a specific type. I'd have more of a specific theme to my team. Like "technology" or "quadrupeds" or "imposters".

I suppose if I HAD to pick a type, it'd be the Dark Type. We haven't had one of those yet, and Dark Types are pretty cool. I'll be using 5 Pokémon.


Not sure which gym number I'd take up, but my team would have these or their lower/higher stages:

Absol
Houndoom
Mightyena
Sneasel
and Spiritomb, just to frustrate those who think they'll have an easy win with Fighting types.

And if I am allowed to use themes instead of types, here's a few possibilities.
Spoiler:
Theme: Technology.
Team: Magneton, Electrode, Klinklang, Porygon2/Z and Rotom

Theme: Quadrupeds
Team: Absol, Houndoom, Arcanine, Manectric and Mightyena

Theme: Imposters [and reasons for choosing]
Team: Ditto [Can use Transform], Unown [Looks like letters], Smeargle [Can use Sketch], Chatot [can imitate voices] and something that knows Metronome such as a Togetic.
What would I like to see in the future? A few things, actually.
1) A trio of ROM hacks [gen1, gen2, gen3] that, aside from the generation, are pretty much identical: You start in Kanto and post-elite four you travel through Johto as it would have been "3 years ago".
2) A demake of Heart Gold / Soul Silver. Possibly using Fire Red as a base.
3) An official Pokémon game, following the standard "gotta catch 'em all" format, but aimed more at the older players.
