5th Gen Gym & Gym Leaders Discussion

[Tater Tot]

Ugh, I hate this.

I want Dark. ;-;

I Hope Dento will be Triple type because that would be unique (exept that Blue used a Diverse Gym in G/S/C/HG/SS)

And Aloe could be Fire,cause even though Pokémon has been going with the "Name related to Type" trend 5th Gen is a Fresh start so it could be anything.So i think Fire because we need a 2nd Gym Fire Leader.

Also I hope the Gym could rematch your before Post game.Take this for an example.When you beat the 3rd Gym the 1st Gym wants a Rematch.After the 4th Gym the 2nd Gym wants to rematch.After the 5th gym the 1st and 3rd wants a rematch. And so-on.It would be great for training to.

FAIL. There was an icicle badge in Gen 4. Fail. Fail. Fail. >_>
I...won't...lose...to...a..10...year...old...child.
I will delete my save file if i would lose with Iris. (Is it true she's for Black? Then i won't have to battle her.)

 

[blue]

I wanted there to be a Dark-type gym. :(
Also, the Icicle badge was the 7th Gym's badge in Pokemon D/P/PT.

We've had two Fire Gym leaders already... Blaine of Cinnabar, Kanto and Flannery of Lavaridge, Hoenn. It's been confirmed that she's a Normal leader anyway.

I kind of like the flying gym leader in that crazy way.... She has WINGS.
And I would rather have some old dude because I'm pretty sure he has a part than just a gym leader.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Ah it seems like I won't be able to battle Iris but the old man instead :(

 

[Gavrillo_AK]

Dento - Dark
Aloe - Normal

 

[Kanto_Johto]

I am trying to think of what other pokemon the three brothers would have besides their signature monkey, but I cannot seem to think of it.

Their first Pokemon will probably all be the same. Probably a Minezumi or something.

Yeah but Iris is like a major character in the anime and games. It isn't fair that black gets like the main character as the gym leader and White gets a random dude.

What will they do in the anime, have Iris or the old dude as the leader. And I wonder why they made two different gym leader. I don't like that concept :(

We know nothing about him yet, other than the fact that he's White's Gym leader. He could be a very important character. Not just some 'random dude'. I'm sure he serves some significance. Otherwise there would be no reason to include him instead of Iris for one of the game's versions.

[abood321]

Dento - Dark
Aloe - Normal

The first gym is fire,water and grass

 

[coolnick37]

Yellow-haired woman looks like she can be awesome.
Electric Gym perhaps? I think she has headphones :3

^.^ yes kamitsure is her name(and t has something to do with god when translated to english) shes the coolest of them all. :3 she has 2 emongas and a zebraka(shimamas evo)

 

[abood321]

I think we will be able to fight both Iris and shaga in the third version
or a new gym leader like in emerald.

Theyll just probably add a third person and make it a triple battle

C'mon stop talking about the third version D:<

Black and White have been released.

Talk about them instead :/

I really wanted a triple battle gym leader D:

 

[GoldvsRed]

I quite like this set of Gym Leaders! How long has it been since we've seen a proper Ground-Type Gym? On the other hand, how long has it been since we've seen a proper Poison-Type Gym (a new one, I mean; Fuchsia Gym in HG/SS is just a remake of an older Gym)? And what about a Dark-Type Gym? Other than those complaints, Game Freak has managed to please me once again.

 

[Planetes.]

Okay well if those are the gym types than 4 of these types make up the E4
FIGHTING-90% Chance this will happen tons of good fighting types in Isshu and this always gets spammed in the E4
DARK-60% Chance This guy might pull the hydra, not to mention the dark leopard and lizard
ROCK-20% Other than Gigiasu and the fossils there aren't many good rock types in Isshu
PSYCHIC-70% Chance-There are a LOT Of Psychic types in Isshu, most are pretty good.
POISON-2-Poison Types suck and there's only like 4 in Isshu anyhow
STEEL-70%-Lots of Powerful Steel types in Isshu and there has never been a Steel E4
GHOST-50%-Not a bad pool of Ghost Types to pick from at all

The Hydra's last form won't be used since the middle evolution evolves at Lv64. Steven was the champ in R/S although his team wasn't all steel their was steel.
I'd like the E4 to have :

No.1
Steel

No.2
Ghost

No.3
Ice - We haven't had an Ice type E4 since R/S

No.4
Fire - We've got lots of new one's

Champ
Electric/Poison/Dark

My initial opinions:

Gym 1 - I really liked the idea here, it's a little new and different. And thank the Lord for not another Rock gym! :D Not sure what the dog (Yooterii) is doing there - but I'm still very happy with it.
Gym 2 - Good, we haven't had too many Normal-type gyms. I think that the signature Pokemon should be something a little better than the local rodent though. And the evolved form of the dog we got at the last gym too (Haderia)
Gym 3 - I wanted a bug gym, but I really wanted it to be a later one. Bug's aren't inherently weak, they don't have to be cosigned to early gyms. Hoping that that cacoon thing (Hoiiga) is better than Kakuna/Metapod/Silcoon/Cascoon, or it's just be a walkover
Gym 4 - Eh. Electric is cool I guess. I don't like the double Emongas though - there were 11 Electric types introduced this generation, with some really interesting typings like Bug/Electric and Electric/Ground - there's no need to repeat. I'm very much against repeating Pokemon in gym/E4 line-ups.
Gym 5 - Yes, we got a Ground-type gym. And in a good position too. And the line-up is excellent - probably the best gym in the game, I have absolutely no problems with it.
Gym 6 - This one I'm less happy with. We've already had a Flying-type gym in 6th position. And with 11 Electric types and a Water/Flying (Swanna) as signature Pokemon, it's likely to be a piece of cake (Winona had that ******* Altaria that made her a challenge).
Gym 7 - *HEADWALL* Another Ice gym? Another Ice gym in seventh position? Another ice gym with a freaking sliding ice puzzle? My god, why does GameFreak think we have the memories of a goldfish? It's ridiculous, it really is.
Gym 8 - And ho-hum, another Dragon gym in 8th position. The gym leaders changing on version seems like a good idea, but the line-up seems to remain the same so it seems like a bit of a gimmick to me. At least with Ononokusu to battle it should be a bit of challenge.

But then I look at the line-ups again... seriously, only 3 Pokemon a piece for them? We'll probably have a full team by the time we reach the 6th gym, there really should be more than 3 Pokemon for those last 3 or 4 gyms.

One last thing.... WHERE THE HELL IS OUR DARK-TYPE GYM?
