Of course, vespiquen would be the queen bee. Either this, or a grass, water, or dragon gym.
Grass: Serperior, Lilligant, Leavanny, Sawsbuck (Gen 5)
Water: Milotic, Samurott, Lapras , Jellicent
Dragon: M-Altaria, Kingdra, Dragalge, Flygon
I'd go with a Water Type gym. But unlike every other gym it wouldn't just be one type themed building. Instead I'd make an entire town into my gym. In order to find me, all my challengers would need to go through the town, talk to people to get more clues that help them to find me. Some of those people are just simple citizens, while others are trainers, they have to battle first. These clues would lead the challengers to different areas that hide more clues, trainers and sometimes little secrets (as in useful items). The whole town would be dyed into an atmospheric blue, because it's completely surrounded by waterfalls and finding clues would also require the challenger to cross lakes, go through waterfalls in order to find hidden caves and all that kind of stuff.
After gathering all neccessary hints the challenger would find a key that would allow them to access the building where I'd wait for them. The battle itself would take place at the top of the building on a hugh roof with all the waterfalls in the background.
As for my teams, I'd go with being the last leader the challenger has to beat, so obviously my team would have the highest level of them all and would probably be around level 50, Team members being:

A complete six Pokemon team, Rain abuse, Gastrodon for Electric types, Gyarados to put pressure onto Grass types, Greninja to take the challenger off guard and Azumarill as my signature Pokemon that cleans up whatever is left of my opponents team. It's probably not the best monotype team, but considering that Gym Leaders don't fight to beat every challenger it should be enough to make them think what their next move might be.
I'd also get rid of such stupid rules like "the Gym Leader isn't allowed to switch Pokemon mid-battle", because I really want to make them think instead of stupidly spam one move to get through.
As for TMs, I'd probably give them Waterfall, because normally you get the same move the signature Pokemon is using and considering how the whole town is covered by those it's also fitting. A nice little gimmick would be that they would then be allowed to climb those waterfalls leading them to even more places of the town that can be explored.
Grass Type, With All Harvest Ability Gym. I would be like Early Gym, Root Badge. TM Would be Grass Knot. And the ability to use HM Cut.
If I were a Gym Leader, I think my Gym would definitely be a Water-type gym. Water-type Pokemon are my favorite, especially the starters we get every generation. I'd definitely like my gym to be among one of the last a trainer faces, if not the eighth gym of a region by default, so I could see the trainers who face me use their all to prove their mettle for taking on the Elite Four.
Theme-wise, my gym would probably be set up like the hot springs in Reykjavik, Iceland: Big, open pools of water with small islands you can walk across and fight my trainers. My trainers would be Cheerleaders, male ones dressed in ōendan uniforms, because I love the idea of cheer squads; the idea of valiant ōendan cheering on their Pokemon with dances, whistles, and rallying calls inspires me a lot.
My team of choice would stay the same as my Secret Base: A Blastoise, a Protean Greninja, and a Swampert. Two of them, the Greninja and Swampert, would know Ice Punch and Waterfall, whereas the Blastoise would be move-for-move identical to Siebold's from the Mega Evolution special, with Dragon Pulse, Power-Up Punch, Head Smash and Hydro Pump (which would be shared with Swampert). And the TM I'd hand out is Waterfall, as befitting my position as the last step before Victory Road.
My Badge is something I already visually designed, the Tsunami Badge----which is visually based off the painting Great Wave Off Kanagawa.![]()
Because I'm indecisive, I thought it would be a good idea to come up with not one, but 18 different gyms if I were to be a Gym Leader. Unfortunately, I found out that I bit off more than I could chew partway through, so while I did come up with ideas for 18 gyms, this is just the outline of them, rather than a full explanation of each. Also, I figure that I'd be one of the final 3 gyms in whatever region I'm in, so my Pokemon would be in the level range of 30's to early 40's, with my main Pokemon being on the far right side of each team.
Spoiler:GRASS- I'd want it to be some sort of treetop obstacle course, with a layout similar to that of Fortree City.

WATER- My Water type gym would be an indoor waterpark, where there's a challenger waiting at the bottom of each water slide.

FIRE- I would be hiding behind walls of fire in a Fire type gym, each of which can only be extinguished by defeating the other trainers.

ROCK- This would be an outdoor gym, with the whole area resembling an archaeological dig site, with fossil Pokemon being exclusively used by trainers.

NORMAL- This gym wouldn't be much different from Aspertia's- an average gym for an average Pokemon type.

PSYCHIC- My Psychic type gym would basically be an MC Escher painting come to life, just to screw with my challengers.

STEEL- Sticking with the art theme, my Steel type gym would be a modern art museum, with strange metal sculptures/obstacles as the exhibit.

BUG- For a Bug type gym, I'd make this an indoor butterfly garden, with an interior similar to that of GSC's Azalea Gym, and HGSS's Celadon Gym.

GROUND- My Ground type gym would be found at the bottom of a large canyon, only accessible by a Pokemon with Rock Climb (remember that HM?).

DARK- This gym would emulate a dark alley, with a streetlight turning on each time you beat a trainer to lead your way through the gym.

FLYING- How about a mobile gym aboard a blimp? Tell me you wouldn't be excited to battle there!

FAIRY- Since the Laverre City gym was basically my perfect idea, I'll have to settle for a gym modelled after Neverland from the movie Hook.

ELECTRIC- Gaudy neon lights everywhere, to the point that the whole interior of the gym looks ridiculous.

POISON- I would want this gym to look like the lab of a mad scientist, with interesting experiments and projects scattered throughout the gym.

DRAGON- Preferably my Dragon type gym would be found in a medieval town, and would look like a giant castle.

ICE- Unlike my Dragon gym, my Ice type gym would be completely out of place- a large hockey arena in the middle of a desert.

FIGHTING- This would look very similar to the new Nimbasa Gym in B2W2, with a wrestling ring at the end of the ramp as the battleground.

GHOST- Finally, my Ghost gym would be a poorly made haunted house. Basically, one so bad that you can't help but laugh at it.

Dragon is my favourite type, so I'd probably go with dragon. I'm not sure if I'd want to be the first or the eight gym though (since I can't pick the E4 xD).
Gym 1
I can't help but love the idea of the first gym being a dragon gym. It would probably be hell since dragon pokemon resist all three of the starter types, but that's what makes it great. I think I'd probably like my gym in this instance to be similar to Cheren's in the sense that it's attached to the trainers school. You'd enter into a fairly simple room where you ascend a staircase to a large platform battling two or three other trainers on the way. Being the first gym this would be my team
(Male, Hyper Cutter, Level 14) - Bite, Mud-Slap, Sand Attack, Struggle Bug![]()
(Female, Gooey, Level 15) - Absorb, Water Pulse, Bide, Poison Tail![]()
(Male, Mold Breaker, Level 17) - Dragon Rage, Dual Chop, Roar, Arial Ace![]()
Gym 8
If I was the eight gym I'd go for something a bit more dramatic. The gym would be a large amphitheatre full of entertainers like fire-twirlers, dancers and jugglers plus dragon tamers. The trainer would walk in and suddenly large pillars would burst forth from the ground (with stairs some of them) creating a sort of multileveled maze. Once you reached the end you'd find me on a stand-alone pillar. My team would consist of five pokemon
(Female, Marvel Scale, Level 52) - Dragon Dance, Extreme Speed, Dragon Rush, Iron Tail![]()
(Female, Gooey, Level 55) - Dragon Pulse, Acid Armour, Flamethrower, Sludge Wave![]()
(Male, Levitate, Level 54) - Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Fire Punch, Power-Up Punch![]()
(Male, Adaptability, Level 53) - Dragon Pulse, Sludge Wave, Thunderbolt, Focus Blast![]()
(Male, Infiltrator, Level 56) - Boomburst, Hurricane, Dark Pulse, Draco Meteor![]()
I'd also carry two or three full restores and have good EVs on the team.
I feel that the last gym is often far too easy.
Poison Type Gym #8

The Gym would be modeled after a lab, a worn temple or a derelict building with poor lighting. Doors shut and lock behind the player one way. Traps cause the player to be ambushed by lower level Poison type Pokémon (There's a first for everything).
There would be eight Gym Trainers located about the Gym all with a variety of Poison type Pokémon with devious strategies and move sets. They'd appear around corners and shadows to challenge the player to battles. Gym trainers are: 1 Ninja Couple (male/female double battle), 3 Burglars (Male/Female), 2 Monks (Skull motif 'face camo') and 1 'Nurse' whose Pokémon are more difficult than the other Gym trainers.
Monks are just two guys who forget that the temple is a gym and attack interlopers and people that are unwanted in their 'temple'.
The Nurse enjoys healing so much she causes pain so she can heal it. Great, a sadistic nurse. Trainers are also subject to change.
Before Battle: Ah. I know what you're here for. There'd only be one reason why someone like you would bug me in a place like this. You want my badge don't you? Too bad it's not free. *battle begins*
After Battle Defeat: You shouldn't stick your nose in business that doesn't concern you, beat it.
After battle Victory: Finally, someone worthy of my valuable time. That was enough to get the blood pumping, kid. Here *hands over the Gilt Badge* That piece will make every Pokémon obey you regardless of level. And take this with you *hands over TM 101 (New Poison Type Move)* That one will make your foes think twice when battling you. And with that. . . *screen goes black for a moment and the Gym Leader is gone*
Hands out the Gilt Badge based on being a high class burglar (but you wouldn't know just because it's a secret). Hands out 12,000 upon defeat.
threw this together in a few minutes. Needs work, it's just not 'shiny enough, but there it is.Spoiler:![]()
If i was a gym leader, and i would be the one to have fossil Pokemon only. My gym would be earth-based with three floors. Instead of going up though, you have to go beneath the earth. the first two floor is the museum of ancient pokemon. The final floor at the very bottom is an excavation site.
which of course meant i'd have dual type rock pokemon. I'd have:
Omanyte
Omastar
Kabutops
Aerodactyl
Tyrantrum
Carracosta
just like in Pokemon Red/Blue i was debating whether i chose kabutops or Omanyte
