Who was your favorite gym leader from Gen I through II. There where many great gym leaders in the first two Generations, in my opinion Gen I and II had the best combination of leaders. My favorite Gym Leader is ハヤト (Hayato/Falkner.)
i'm first pick huh?
i have a couple based on a few different parts -
Favorite gym leader battle style:
Gen I: Koga Gen II: Blue
Favorite Gym Leader personality:
Gen I: Lt. Surge Gen II: Morty
Overall best? I like Morty. He was challenging because most people didn't have a type advantage on him yet, and he had that tough Gengar. I also love his mysterious and shady personalty; the only thing you know about him is that he chases legendary Pokemon. He tends to keep to himself. Not a real talker.
I like morty's personality the best, but blue's pokemon
Easy! My favorite Gym Leader from Gen I and II, hell my favorite of all Gym Leaders, has always been Sabrina. This is because she uses my favorite of all Pokemon Types.
I really don't have a favorite gym leader from the first generation just because I personally did not like any of them. But if I had to pick one from the first generation, I will have to go with Brock because he is the easiest one to beat. As for the second generation, it is defiantly Morty hands down because he is a ghost type trainer and ghost types are my favorite Pokemon.
1st gen: Sabrina
I think she's the most interesting of all gym leaders from the first generation. 2nd gen: Jasmine
I love how she cares about Amphy and and like how her personality seems to contrast her type of choice.
1st Gen: Giovanni
To be able to manage an entire organization that has goals and an agenda that consist on shaping the world completely while also being a gym leader without any suspicion is a feat worthy of praise. Giovanni has great interest in pokemon of high caliber, some which are even legendary. He is also a skilled trainer who has an interesting background.
2nd Gen: Morty
He is also an interesting gym leader that is a follower of legendary pokemon. He uses ghost type which is one of my favorites.
Gen 1: Blaine (Poor guys town got destroyed in Gen 2!!!)
Gen 2: Jasmine - This one I can't really explain. I kinda liked the storyline leading up to her. She wasn't too tough but her Steelix put up a good fight.
Misty is probably my favourite gym leader because she actually provided some challenge at times. I also like how she uses water type Pokémon and her design is rather appealing. I also liked the Pokémon she used. I always loved when I got to battle her in G/S/C.
Best gym leader for style in Generation I: Misty
Best gym leader for personality in Generation I: Blaine
I like Misty's style because she's so determined. I always found her difficult to win against when I had an under levelled Charmeleon or Wartortle.
I like Blain's personality because he stresses the importance of burn heal in our battle together :P he was right, I definitely did need burn heal lol!!
Best gym leader for style in Generation II: Jasmine
Best gym leader for personality in Generation II: Jasmine
I really like Jasmine...I dom't really know why...I always thought of her as a shy and reserved character. There is something mysterious and alluring to it. Her Steelix is much higher levelled that Pryces' (sp??) Piloswine too. She's just really powerful and as I said, mysterious.
Many a Gym Leader I could state so here's my top 5
#1 - Blaine - Fire Types with excellent choices
#2 - Giovanni - The original concept of deception
#3 - Chuck - The guy trains under a waterfall and breaks rocks only pokemon should break
#4 - Whitney - The only Gym Leader I've ever had pokemon 10 levels ahead of in a level battle
#5 - Erika - Training all Grass types would take guts but no Exeggutor :(
I think the gym leaders should represent ALL types and not only a few. When you combine the leaders of Gen I and II they represent all types except Dark. That's why I like them the most.
