Well I don't think that we will have rock as our first gym again :)

I don't know if this has been posted already but it's been revealed on www.serebii.net that Dento has Yanappu, the little broccoli monkey Pokemon. So the first Gym must be Grass-type. Hooray! Finally a Gym where my fire starter will kick ass.

 

[Ho-Oh]

:D Well, this is enough confirmation for me. So grass... hmm. Oh, and let's note that his city is surrounded by a forest (well I see a lot of trees behind his gym so yeah), this is good. Very good.

I wonder what Aloe will be now.

Exactly the same what i thought!

and i think Aloe will be fire, because she's a cook and what do cooks need to make their food? FIRE.

 

[MistahDude]

Im not entirely convinced that the first gym will be grass. It could still be a combination of Grass, Fire and Water types. His gym hints a lot to it.

This preview showed the final evidence that Ash & Pikachu do return in the anime. In addition to this, they also confirmed which character the new Pokémon Yanappu belongs to, as promised on Pokémon Sunday. Yanappu will be owned by Dento.

This pretty much confirms Dento is either a Grass gym leader or a mixed Gym leader.
This may also confirm that Yanappu did the Solarbeam in one of the earlier trailers, but we didn't see the Pokemon itself, so who knows.

Edit ; Ugh Solarbeam on the first gym leader. ;-; Not looking forward to it.. if it's in-game anyway.

[Red Mustang]

I think the seventh or eighth gym leader will be dark type(:

That's way overdue.

​

Remember, he has solar beam in the anime. Not confirmed if the game dento has solar beam. But I'm kinda glad Dento has Ynappu, now aloe can't cook it.

 

[The Red Chain]

Remember, he has solar beam in the anime. Not confirmed if the game dento has solar beam.

Hence why I said "if it's in-game anyway"? -.-;

So Dento is joining Iris and Ash on their Journey huh? A new Gym Leader follows them along, bout time. Dento seems pretty hyperactive haha, I have a feeling this'll be hilarious. Like one of those over-flamboyant anime dudes. <3

Regarding in-game Dento, I will cry if he has Solarbeam. ;~;

[Totaldile]

I'm sticking with my intuition. Normal for Aloe :).
(it got it right the first time :3)

 

[Planetes.]

There was a new commercial for Best Wishes that gives serious evidence that Dento is grass type

and that Iris will torture poor Pokabu

 

[rocky505]

He must be a water type look at all the bubblez :P

I will have major problems in the games with him :(

 

[Sammuthegreat]

There is absolutely no chance the first Gym Leader will have a Pokemon with Solarbeam. I can 100% tell you now that he won't have that move. The first Gym Leader will have Pokemon of levels between 10 and 15, and no Pokemon will learn Solarbeam at that low a level. Plus, Gym Leaders have never had Egg moves on their Pokemon before.

Yes there have been leaders with egg moves before. Both Brock's Graveler and Onix from GSC had rock slide which were egg moves for them. Misty's Golduck from GSC had Psychic which was only a egg move for it at the time.

Wait... wasn't psychic a TM?

Anyways, what if gym leaders didn't follow Pokemon types, but visual characteristics? Like Dento has all "Monkey" Pokemon? Lol, I know it's weird. Maybe it would be fun if only one leader followed a pattern like this? XD

 

[rocky505]

Golduck could not learn psychic by TM until Gen 4.

 

[incognito322]

I have a feeling Gen V Gym Leaders will be even more deceptive than last time (Generation 4). Gym challenges became tougher as Gym Trainers and Leaders alike began to use moves that correspond to the Gym Type instead of Pokemon Types. (prime example was the female Ace Trainer of Canalave Gym who had an Azumarill that knew Iron Tail.)

I wouldn't be surprised if Dento has a Grass, Fire, and Water-type, at this point in the games.

 

[WildBolt]

Was it confirmed that he has a Yanappu? If so I think he'll specialize in Grass-Types.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

So the first one is grass...it would be a bit hard to win with Tsutarja...
