5th Gen B & W Elite 4

[austy14]

The Original Speculation:

Spoiler:

Ok, we know Gyms will have other purposes like real life, sorta like Aloe's being a resturant. But what will the E4 be like, just another building with trainers in it? I hope they do something fun with it. Also, types. What types should they have? I saw this on Bulbapedia article about the Elite Four:

The only types not yet represented by an Elite Four member are Rock, Grass, Normal, Flying, and Electric.

That leaves exactly 5 types... like the Elite Four and a Champion! So leave your ideas!

EDIT 6/16/10:

The E4 have been revealed. Here is what I got from Serebii:

First Elite Four member; Shikimi; She has Level 48 Desukan, Lv. 48 Burunkeru, Lv. 48 Goruggo and Lv. 50 Shandeera. She is a Ghost trainer

Second Elite Four member; Giima; He has a Lv. 48 Zuruzukin, Lv. 48 Warubiaru, Lv. 48 Leparudusu & Lv. 50 Kirikizan. He is a Dark trainer

Third Elite Four member; She has a Lv. 48 Rankurusu, Lv. 48 Musharna, Lv. 48 Shinbora and Lv. 50 Gochiruzeru. She is a Psychic trainer

Final Elite Four member; Renbu; He has a Lv. 48 Nageki, Lv. 48 Dageki, Lv. 48 Roopushin & Lv. 50 Kojondo. He is a Fighting trainer

Belle is the champion. She has Lv. 66 Murando, Lv. 66 Yanakki, Lv. 66 Musharna & Lv. 70 Starter.

^So, whataya think? :D

I thought for a second that they revealed them x_X
I'm hoping for a Grass-type Elite Four member. A gardener girl thing. xD

 

[PaxAmericana]

Fire elite four member( The girl that dressed up like flint in the anime)

 

[Kanto_Johto]

Yeah, I saw that a while ago too. Lance may as well be a Flying type member as well as a Dragon one.

An E4 I'd like to see:

Member 1: Rock type
Member 2: Electric type
Member 3: Normal type
Member 4: Steel type
Champion: Poison type

Actually, it might be nice to see another Rival Champion, but a Poison Champion would be better.

 

[Iron Mankey]

Actually, an idea I've had brewing in my head since Gen 3 was that once you beat the Champion (and thus, consequently, become the new Champion) that you'd get calls from random Trainers who would come and challenge YOU.

Hope B&W includes some sorta feature like this. It'd be great to have a steady stream of capable combatants in-game after completing the main storyline.

 

[Charizard★]

I really don't care what the types are. I just hope they put up a challenge for me this time :/

 

[Planetes.]

okay guys now think about this for a second: Isshu is definetley different than they other regions, as is its Pokemon League since the gyms are in castles, amusement parks, restuarants, etc. What if the league was a Tournament like in the Anime? I would love it and consider it very possible

 

[Eternal Nightmare]

They need another fire E4 member. Flint didn't even use complete Fire types for goods sake. But other than that a Normal E4 member seems bizzare but I like it to tell the truth. As long as they are better than the E4 of the past 4 gens I'm content.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Just so you guys know, tournament-style battling for the elite four can be discussed here. Let's keep this thread for type/e4 members, etc, only. :)

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I hope the E4 can be seen hanging outside of the Pokemon league HQ like Flint and Lucian in Gen 4 :)
The champ will be seen outside for sure I bet like in gens 1,2,3, and 4 :P
I just hope they show all four Elites not just two like in DPPt :)

 

[Sora's Nobody]

What i would like to see is the elite 4 (gym leaders too)having their own house places in the region. and also the type remaining thing. The leader never has set type of pokemon

Haha, I always though of that too. It doesnt make sense to beat the E4 then everyone just forgets and never challenges the new champion.

They could randomly generate trainers with like lv50-70 pokes final evolution pokes. Not saying they have to have evos, just so that you dont end up fighting oddishes and rattatas. They call you up, and you meet them at the E4 Champion room and battle. They could also throw in like important characters like Ash, Gary Oak, Red and more(I dont watch the anime) with their corresponding teams.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

I'd love to see the introduction of Flying in the Elite Four, and Steel making a comeback I would gladly approve of :D

That would be cool, but how would you re-battle them? Well anyways I really hope for an Electric-type E4, cus Electric is my favorite, and a normal one beacuse Whitney was actually pretty tough. Though, more of a challenge than annoying. And still don't now why Lance is Dragon when 3 of his pokemon are Dragon, while all are flying.

Id love that, but dont forget fire red leaf green had Lorlei in sevii islands hanging around (she wasnt much fun though :P)

o.o I never even figured that champions had a special type that they use except Lance.

we got like 40 of those no thank you, if they do a grass-type i want a man itd be funny to see a male grass type trainer :P

im hopin NO SINGLE TYPES, that **** makes it way to easy.

i want all of them to be using an assortment of types, making it FAR more challenging

Well maybe not total random style, but maybe duo types? But unique combos. Like Grass and Ice. Fire and Water. Dark and Psycic. Electric and Ghost. Then the champion... normal type!

 

[Tyxomm]

Elite Four:
1# Grass
2# Fire
3# Water
4# Electric
Champ# Rock/Steel

I proposed this same Idea in an old thread, I would love duo types, half of the team is this, the other is that, eventually we will have to make a team to take down 8, no 10 counting the champion, which will make it leagues harder :)
