    Ok... I want to create new gym leaders for a GBA LeafGreen game, but sad to say I suck at creating gym leaders... whatever...

    So, I would like to know what people are looking for in gym leader challenges. Do you prefer leaders with mixed type pokemon? What about pokemon with the same attacks? Do you prefer insane challenges where to have to keep battling again and again before you actually win? I would like to know!

    Gym Leader: [Insert Name & gender]
    Pokemon
    1) [Whoever and maybe a special attack] Lvl. ****

    2) (repeat)

    3) etc. etc. etc.


    This was one of my ideas:

    Gym Leader: Jacob (male)
    Lover of Eevee evolutions
    Pokemon
    1) Jolteon lvl. 45 (pin missle, agility, sand-attack, spark)

    2) Espeon lvl. 45 (psybeam, sand-attack, morning sun, psychic)

    3) Vaporeon lvl. 45 (body slam, acid armor, sand-attack, waterfall)

    4) Flareon lvl. 45 (flame wheel, sand-attack, tail whip, flamethrower)

    5) Umbreon lvl. 45 (faint attack, sand-attack, shadow ball, curse)


    This was one of my ideas... maybe you all can do a hundred times better than me...


    I would like a mixture of lower lvl. gym leader and of course higher level gym leaders too.

    If any of you come up with some great Gym Leader ideas or descriptions, I will put you in my credits and graciously thank you for your time!
     
    I prefer leaders that specialize in a singular type, Ex: Blaine=Fire, Misty=Water, Chuck=Fighting, etc., I also enjoy pure attack leaders, with pokemon that have only level up moves, and power, powerful leaders are the best.
    Gym Leader: Veronica (female) (Last Gym Leader)
    Denizen of the Darkness
    Pokemon
    1)Umbreon -Dark- Lvl:55 - Moonlight/Faint Attack/Pursuit/Confuse Ray
    2)Murkrow -Dark/Flying- Lvl:50 - Peck/Faint Attack/Night Shade/Taunt
    3)Houndoom -Dark/Fire- Lvl:45 - Ember/Faint Attack/Bite/Roar
    4)Crawdaunt -Dark/Water- Lvl:45 - Crabhammer/Taunt/Bubblebeam/Knock Off
    5)Cacturne -Dark/Grass- Lvl:45 - Needle Arm/Faint Attack/Leech Seed/Ingrain
     
    Well ur idea of the eeveeloutions is great but too many of the eeveeloutions..maybe add in one different pokemon...
     
    xP I have a ROM Hack in which I make up Gym Leaders. xP

    Name: Gwenolyn ("Gwen" is something to do with poison in Welsh, I think)
    Type: Poison
    Gym Number: 1
    Pokemon:
    Oddish - Lv11
    Zubat - Lv13
    Beedrill - Lv 14
     
    What about a gym leader that only picks strong pokemon
    • Dragonite lv 55 (ariel ace, dragon claw, ice beam, slam)
    • Slaking lv 55 (focus punch, counter, slack off, shadow ball)
    • Tyranitar lv 55 (rock slide, thrash, crunch, earth quake)
    • Metagross lv 55 (phychic, metal claw, shadow ball, thunder bolt)
    • Scalamence lv 55 (dragon claw, fly, fire blast, hydro pump)

    And a Gym Leader that destroys him.

    Machamp lv53 -Cross Chop- -Earthquake- -Something- -something-
    Alakazam lv53 -Ice Punch- -Psychic- -Fire Punch- -Thunderpunch-

    Yeah, two level 53 Pokemon destroy a level 55 team of "strong" Pokemon. :P
     
    Yeah, yeah, I know. They're all bordering Uber. Funny how two are weak to ice and two are weak to fighting, eh?
     
    I like challenging Gym Leaders myself. None of this GSC Falkner crap. >_>

    Name and gender: Nexus, male
    Pokemon:

    Claydol Lv52
    - Reflect
    - Light Screen
    - Earthquake
    - Ice Beam

    Exeggutor Lv54
    - Sleep Powder
    - Leech Seed
    - Psychic
    - Solarbeam

    Banette Lv52
    - Will-o-wisp
    - Calm Mind
    - Shadow Ball
    - Thunderbolt

    Umbreon Lv51
    - Toxic
    - Moonlight
    - Substitute
    - Faint Attack

    Houndoom Lv51
    - Flamethrower
    - Crunch
    - Shadow Ball
    - Solarbeam

    Slowbro Lv52
    - Surf
    - Calm Mind
    - Psychic
    - Ice Punch
     
    I prefer cut and dry, down to business gym leaders that actually mean something: no lameo lv.14 person placed right at the beginning of the game.
    Gym Leader Kent (Grass)
    1- Weepinbell lv.21
    Poison Powder
    Growth
    Giga Drain
    Sludge Bomb
    2- Shiftry lv.23
    Shadow Ball
    Sunny Day
    Solar Beam
    Brick Break
    3- Ludicolo lv.23
    Ice Beam
    Water Pulse
    Synthesis
    Substitute
    4- Numel lv.25
    Body Slam
    Flamethrower
    Sandstorm
    Magnitude
    That would be a first gym leader after quite a bit of playing through the game.
     
    hm, heres one idea
    Name:Angel
    Gender:Female
    Pokemon:
    -Gengar lv 50
    -Staraptor lv 47
    -Magmortar lv 51
    -Milotic lv 51
    -Bellossom lv47
    -Porygon Z lv 49

    This is of course a mixed team

    Here's another Gym leader idea for those badges "in the middle"
    Name:Serenity
    Gender:Female
    Pokemon:
    -Gyrados lv 35
    -Milotic lv 35
    -Gardevoir lv 36
    -Gallade lv 36
    -Delcatty lv 33

    I've got two gym leaders; brother and sister actually. They have two different types, but it works to their advantage.

    Name: Lily and JD
    Type: Water and Steel
    Position: Eight
    - Corsola {Lily's} [Surf, Rest, Mirror Coat, Toxic]
    - Magneton {JD's} [Thunderbolt, Tri Attack, Protect, Thunder Wave]
    - Slowking {Lily's} [Surf, Psychic, Rest , Sleep Talk]
    - Skarmory {JD's} [Drill Peck, Roar, Spikes, Toxic]

    This will be one of the most difficult in-game matches you have fought if these guys were in the game.

    FOOL! This is third gen! If you want to post your FOURTH-gen gym ideas, go elsewhere. I actually, got my idea from an originally fourth-gen thing, but had the sense to change it...

    It's called being human. Everyone makes mistakes and please don't call me a fool again.
     
    Sorry... I just love saying that. It's become one of my saying like "that's garbage" or something to that effect. Anyways, it's actually a very fine gym idea, except for the whole generation discrepancy.
     
    I would love to see a Bug type Gym Leader that was actually competent. Bugsy from GSC sucked because Kakuna and Metapod were training fodder, and Scyther was dead to a rock throw, or to Poison and stall with Bayleef and switching. Seriously, Fury Cutter? Wing Attack might have worked. But now, we have Silver Wind.

    Perhaps an endgame gym leader would start with a Ninjask who stalled, gained speed and BP'd to a Sweeper Scizor. A Forretress that laid down spikes and blew itself up. A Butterfree that fired off sleep and paralysis spells with Compoundeyes. And a finishing Pinsir that would sweep. Maybe an Omastar to guard against fires and rocks (Hey, he looks like a fossilized bug, and the Bug Catcher in Round 2 PkmnStad2 uses one).

    The problem with this would be the AI. But from my experience playing Shiny Gold, the Koga of the Elite Four had an Ariados that BP'd after several double teams. Even in RBY, Agatha would frequently switch Pokemon. So my guess is that its possible, but difficult. I would just like an end to the monotony of gym leaders with nothing but poor sweepers and trash movesets, which are only excusable early on.

    I think he was referring to Madnug's idea with the Staraptor.

    I'm sorry it's taken me quite a long time to get back on here. TT_TT

    BUT! I'm liking a majority of your ideas here people! I was planning on doing a little in game training before we ever got to the first gym leader anyhow with maybe a "training dojo" as a pre-requisite before ever going to a "real" gym anyhow... just an idea... so, h Poke, i like your idea of the first gym leader having their pokemon as least lvl 20 and not a single level under that :)

    -[JD]-, I like your idea of twins/duo gym leaders and might ask for your permission to use your idea :D Hope you don't mind!

    I also notice that dark and pyschic types would be nice, but somewhat common to me... also have a bug gym leader again in the games again... hmm... let me pull some ideas together and post them later ok? Thanks to all who have posted so far! :) Maybe some others might post some more! ( Just wishing... >_< )
