Is it safe to say now that this isn't really working out? I think the concept of the league itself is a fantastic idea, but perhaps this was rushed into a bit quickly? It's just pretty inactive right now, and yes the Gym leaders/trainers say that they will open the gyms back up soon, but thats been a few months at least.
Maybe it needs a re-think or a re-vamp of somesort. I mean even if we did beat the 3 Gyms available, whats next?
It would be amazing if we had 8 fully functionining Gyms along with Elite Four or whatever else is planned. What about when the Gym Leader is away, one of the trainers then becomes temporary leader of that Gym until the leader is back? I think maybe a brainstorm is needed and everyone can come together to share thoughts and ideas. Possibly the hiring of Gym Leaders and Trainers needs some thought. I'm sure the Gym Leaders are superb trainers, but activity seems to be an issue. Obviously real life takes preference, but its been months since some Gyms have been open.
This post hasn't been made to annoy people or to criticise, but I just think it needed to be said. The idea of a fully running Pokemon League sounds incredible and would attract some excellent trainers into the competition. Its something we can't just let past and give up on. Its a fully interactive idea and pits some of the best trainers against each other each with a goal in mind.
