I voted for Fuuro, b/c her Pokemon are awesome and I look like her. XD

Does anyone think her English name would be Ava; derived from 'aviator.' She is a pilot afterall. C:

Also, with Kamitsure, her name could be Electra. (from electricity...)

Those are really good names I hope that Fuuro is Ava in the English versions now :)
 
Furou. Dang, she's HOT! Thats the reason I like her anyway~
 
Researching into the first Gym, I've come to the conclusion that GameFreak are trying to make us smarter trainers by making the final Pokemon at a type advantage to the ones we choose. I mean, normally this is done with the rival trainer, but when the Gym leader also has a Pokemon stronger than you, it starts to make you think a little more before using moves (as Gym leaders tend to have a specific strategy or at least healing items to make the battle more challenging); transforming the people who have the traditional mindset of 'Press A a few hundred times and win' to people who take type advantage and the likes into account.

Guys.. Pokemon is getting modern! :D

Yeah but they failed unfortunately :| Before you fight you get given the Monkey that has a type advantage to theirs, so unless you want the challenge people generally tend to use the monkeys :o

Kamitsure. She's sexy, awesome, and is the hardest of the Isshu gym leaders. I miss the Hoenn leaders..they had talent and were hard to beat

So many things wrong with this sentence. ;~;

Kamitsure is just Pixels, get over it :|
She's not the hardest Gym Leader considering she's only the 4th Leader and her top Leveled Pokemon is 27/28.

Hoenn leaders are even easier. Sinnoh leaders are the hardest.
 
Dento/Poddo/Koon and Aloe were the only leaders where I had to grind before facing them. The rest were so easy. I train 5 Pokemon at once and was still out-leveling them. The only time I had to grind after Aloe, was for Victory Road.

This. D/P/K/A Are only hard because there aren't many types of Pokemon around those areas that can take them down, although if there was, the levels of wild Pokemon is just ._.

Horrible.

..no gym leader is hard for me because i overtrain. Sinnoh was a piece of cake in my opinion. Isshu was quite easy, but she had the best strategy.

Well thats all good.

Her strategy was to just keep using an attack so she could switch out. .___. Whats so amazing about that? She needed speed and Snivy + Co. could knock her out.

Exactly! By giving you the Monkey that has the type advantage over their Pokemon, they're forcing you to think and not make random, sporadic decisions.
 
Wouldn't it be fairer if you were given the weaker monkey and forced to overcome their strategies with the "underdog" in a sense?

That means you'd have two weak Pokemon. :o I see where your going though. But then you'd have two Water/Grass/Fire types all ready and just isn't good :/ XD
 
Iris has become my favorite gym leader. <3
I love her spunk, her dragons, her in-game sprite, and her tiny little overworld sprite.
She's adorable, and has officially won my heart.
Kamitsure is just Pixels, get over it :|

There's no reason to be so rude. ]:

Like dragonomega said, it would be a bit weird as they already have a weaker type in their starter. However, I think it would be better if they get a neutral type with maybe a move that has an advantage over the Gym leader's last Pokemon. So the typing would be fairer but with some way to be able to think and defeat them.

She's speaking the truth, to be honest. She is just some pixels.
 
Kamit... oh wait, she's just pixels T____T Hot pixels

But seriously though, she's my current favourite, designing/concept wise.

And what all this Fuuro lust by some? She's like, a kid o_O
