5th Gen Gym & Gym Leaders Discussion

[mineowyn]

I'm glad gym leader battles are getting harder this generation. But I guess it's expected since even normal battles are harder.

Aloe's gym battle was especially tough, if you don't have a strong fighting type or if you don't grind and your pokemon levels are lower than hers, you can get your ass kicked! She keeps spamming Retaliation/Get Even.

Heck! One of her trainers in her gym who uses a lvl 18 Haderia is tough to beat if you don't use X Defend/ don't use a fighting type.

I'm loving it as I'm finally using a proportionate amount of healing, status and battle items in BW.

The good thing about BW gym leader fights is your pokemon can still be a couple levels below the gym leader's pokemon without having half your team wiped out if you play your cards right. No more mindless, excessive grinding!:D

Kamitsure sure has my vote. <3 :cheeky:

 

[Fushigidane-Chan]

Gimme a list of names and I'll edit them into the poll.
/was thinking of doing that earlier lol

It's not exactly fair now, considering most people have already voted... *points to Dento*. Plus, Podda and Koon aren't there, either. Is there any way to delete the current poll and reinstate a new one?

Staff should be able to edit/delete an existing poll, no problem.

The only Gym leader I really like would be the electric gym leader girl. Why, you ask? Denchura. :D

Podda and Koon? /only added the ones Kaori said
...I could reset the count to zero but it would still show the voters, so yeah. D:

Afaik, we can't start all over.

Ah that sucks...it's going to be hard to see who is the most famous among them...
Anyways my favorite gym leader is Iris so far :)

 

[Ho-Oh]

Kay, I just decided to reset the votes. Dento/P/K are on 0, along with Aloe. If you've voted for them before, you'll need to do so again.

 

[JP]

Wahooo, my Kamitsure vote is winning. XD >=D

Uh it doesn't let us do it again it says "already voted on this poll" :(
Well my vote goes to Iris I don't know why but I just like her maybe it's that wild hair :P

 

[otakulily]

Wahooo, my Kamitsure vote is winning. XD >=D

LOOKING KINDA ONE-SIDED THAR

 

[King Gumball]

Lovely that it will most likely be changed. I noticed someone suggested Snowflake and if it does change, I do want Snowflake for it. :D;

I mentioned Snowflake, but is very unlikely due to the shaping of the badge. It may be called Ice Badge if the name changes, as I cant think of anything it may look like that hasn't already been used.

I think I like Iris the most. I will wait until the game comes out though before I am completely sure.

 

[solarowl]

I haven't even voted but it says I already voted...
Either way, I like Furou for some reason XD. I also like Kamitsure, the electric gym leader, sorry.

 

[King Gumball]

I like Iris the best :) She is just so cool, for some reason. I want to like the flying lady better, but no....

 

[solarowl]

Iris is a little cool I guess. Well as a gym leader, at least.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Uh it doesn't let us do it again it says "already voted on this poll" :(
Well my vote goes to Iris I don't know why but I just like her maybe it's that wild hair :P

...oh really? Damn, I don't know what to blame here and I don't really want to go get an admin to fix it. XD; Oh well, I somewhat fixed it? I haven't voted, but I shall do so, probably for Iris, cause I like her and... yeah idk.

/knows nothing of other gym leaders besides pre-release ones

 

[インフェルノの津波]

All I know is the 8th Gym is hard D: I tried using my Aakeosu, and it lost! WTF, I had to use my Ononokusu!

Also, 7th Gym is too easy. Pure Ice? WTF?

 

[Aizuke]

I LOVE Fuuro's gym. It was by far my favourite one. XD I haven't been in anything further though lol. :c

But yeah, my favourite Gym Leaders are Fuuro and Kamitsure.

Spoiler:

Although Kamiture's battle was rather annoying with all the switching and stuff. =____=;;

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Yay Iris is winning :D!
So which gym leader was the hardest for those who have the Japanese versions?

 

[Andrut]

Gym leader 1-7 review:
Dento

Spoiler:

Dento was actually weak,no wonder because we got the monkey that was super effective at his one. Actually,i noticed his shockingly low level of AI when his Yooterii used Bite at my Choroneko,he never used Tackle which could KO him. The battle ended with my Choroneko defeating him.
Yanappu was weak too as i had a Baoppu.

Aloe

Spoiler:

This leader was the only really tough one. I lost to her 3 times,i managed to beat her very slow. Harderrier was plain weak,however Meerhog with its 100% hit Hypnosis caused me many problems.

Arty

Spoiler:

This leader was a joke. His pokemon were extremely weak,especially Hahakomori. His underleveled Hoiiga was very easy,same with Ishizumai. Hahakomori had a lame moveset. WTF? His strongest move is...Razor Leaf? Never battled a weaker gym leader.

Kamitsure

Spoiler:

Not very weak,but still not tough. Finished her by couple of Secret Powers and Vengeances.

Yakon

Spoiler:

A quite tough gym leader. His Doryuuzu was very hard to beat,the opposite for Warubiru and Gamagaru.

Fuuro

Spoiler:

Sadly,she was another easy Leader. Swana wasn't hard at all,the same with the others.

[COLOR=#000ac]Hachiku[/COLOR]

Spoiler:

You may not believe this,but i beat him with only a Marakacchi. Tsunbear was plain stupid because it Swaggered it,making me defeat him and Freejio with 2 hits.

 

[Ralfisme]

i voted for hachiku cause he looks awsome :)
