When I first came across a thread like this, I wanted to speak my mind about my preferences there in regards to their designs, but unfortunately, it was too old, so I now have to create a new thread about it. Anyway, the purpose of this thread is to let out our feelings about which Gym Leader designs we prefer. Notes are optional.
Brock - Old
I'm not sure whether I prefer his RGB design or his Yellow design better, but his GSC design was somewhat lame, and he looks more like a slacker to me in HGSS.
Misty - Old
Especially her Yellow design! In my humble opinion, and those of some others who posted in the old thread (possibly among others), the swimsuit designs were pretty weak (not to mention tiresome), but I thought Gens II and IV did her the least amount of justice design-wise. To me, nothing beats her anime design.
Lt. Surge - New
Particularly Gen I's sprite looked pretty weird. For him, the HGSS design is my preference.
Erika - New
A tossup between FRLG and HGSS. I don't know whether she looks better in a kimono or hakama.
Koga - Old
He kinda reminds me of the "stern dojo master" type, particularly in Gen I.
Janine - Tie
I don't know which gen gave her the better design, but the games gave her the best design in the whole franchise in my opinion.
Sabrina - Old
The remakes lose points for the odd costume choice in HGSS. Props to GSC for being consistent with her Gen I design.
Blaine - Old
That scientist look is quite appealing (particularly in Gens I and III), though I wonder how he'd fare if his prototype design (which made it into the anime) was the one that was used...
Giovanni - Old
Especially his Gen I avatar makes him look menacing, which is rather befitting if I dare say so myself (even considering the possibility of his having mellowed just enough to participate publicly in the World Tournament after Team Rocket's final downfall). No doubt he'd have been a Dark-type specialist if the type existed in Gen I!
Blue - New
HGSS did him more justice than it did for most of the Kanto Gym Leaders, I must confess, and I must also confess that my opinion is based on that leather jacket. It simply makes him look cool.
Falkner - Old
I don't know why... oh wait, maybe I do know. Maybe it's because his HGSS design is too light?
Bugsy - Tie
They both look the same to me...
Whitney - New
One Gym Leader design HGSS got right. Something about her Gen II design seemed a bit... off to me.
Morty - New
That scarf of his certainly improved his image.
Chuck - Old
Gen II did him more justice, particularly the way his sprite looks.
Jasmine - New
She already looked fine enough in Gen II, but Gen IV gave her a cardigan which enhanced the look.
Pryce - New
To me, his HGSS costume design looks more appropriate for an Ice-type specialist.
Clair - Tie
She wears a cape and biketard either way, so I don't really know, though her HGSS sprite does make her look terrible (in the sense meaning "formidable", of course).
