2nd Gen Favorite gym leader

[Sheep]

Which Johto gym leader was your favorite and why? Discuss and share reasons if you please!

Definitely Whitney. She was pretty tough to go up against, and it was pretty fun, too. She did have me pulling my hair out at one point, but still. Along with her, I also like Morty. :]

 

[Ars Arcanum]

Such a close tie between Morty and Clair, but Clair took my vote. I liked her gym the most, and she had the best character, being related to Lance.

 

[Sopheria]

I love Jasmine. She's just adorable.

It's kind of a tough choice for me to pick what definitely would be my favorite Johto Gym Leader, but my first choice would be Whitney. While she is quite powerful and hard to deal with in battle (especially her Miltank spamming Rollout and Milk Drink), once you overcome her and defeat her, she turns into a complete crybaby calling you a 'meanie'. Well duh! Takes a lot of guts to take down that Miltank. Besides, her breaking down after the battle seems similar to how I get when I don't get my way or something else comes to upset me.

Pryce for the win! I love Ice gym leaders!!! And I thought the gym had an interesting gimmick when I first played the Gen 2 games: skating on ice in order to reach him!

 

[Astraea]

I liked Faulnker the best because he gives really a tough challenge at the start of the game.

 

[Evening]

Clair.

I have nothing more to say.

 

[slim spazzy]

My favourtie leader would definietly have to be falkner because His history of how he became the leader is cool and the fact that he has a LV 9 pidgeot XD

Went with Jasmine, since I always loved that her type specialty and abilities as a Leader seemed completely opposite of her personality. Honourable mention goes to Clair though, as she's one of the few Gym Leaders in any game that I've had troubles with.

 

[Meganium]

Clair for sure. Unlike the other leaders, she was the most competitive one. It took a while for her to accept her loss against me, and wanted me to do another challenge just to prove to her that I was worthy of a trainer, and deserved that win fair and square. I admired her for that, hence she was my favorite in these games.

 

[pokemaniac112]

the gym leader i like most is surely whitney

 

[whatfield]

Clair. Her expanded personality in Crystal is amusing to me.

 

[Kikaito plush]

The gym leader in johto I like the most is Morty

 

[ερhεmεяaℓ.]

I chose Jasmine because I always remembered her to be so cute in the show, haha.

 

[TheFattestSnorlax]

I really liked Clair, even though she doesn't give the gym badge straight away. She's the first gym leader with dragon type Pokémon. Now that's amazing.

 

[[Lucian]]

I say Morty, I liked his layed back personality.

 

[Puddle]

Had to give it to Whitney since she was so grueling and impossible. Lol.

So many favorites.

1. Whitney - Most personality of any GB/GBC/GBA game. Without relying on advance graphic and scenery to make the personality. GF, really did well to capture her personality using mostly dialogue. At first glance, she seems sweet and "normal" but with water works, immaturity, stubbornness, and the highest difficulty of Johto leaders, she is nothing but ordinary. She gets my vote!

2. Morty - Though a subdued character, it fits with his relaxed yet edgy new-age-monk vibe. I love the understated yet memorable gym experience.

3. Clair - Before there was Cynthia, Clair was ordering her men around to make her a sandwich. It was nice to see a strong female gym leader for the first time...that wasn't a sociopath. (Shout out to my fave Kanto leader Sabrina!)

4. Jasmine - I know, I listed four out of eight as "favorites." Probably because these were the best overall group of leaders, in my opinion, perhaps tied with Unova. Jasmine is so sweet and gentle, yet uses steel types. Sort of showing she is strong and passionate in protecting/defending pokemon, despite her demure exterior. I love her!

Jasmine. The fact that she has a Steelix is hilarious to me.
