Make Your Own Gym!

[ImMrRoboto]

With Pokémon Sun and Moon on the way, one question I've heard from many people is what are the Gym Leaders going to be like? What type will they be? What Pokémon will they have? What badges will they give?

This (as well as a video by Bird Keeper Toby) got me thinking: What if I was going to a gym leader in Pokémon Sun and Moon? What types would I use? What Pokémon would I use? What badge would I give away?

And that's the reason I'm posting this thread. Not only to get my idea out there, but to hear yours as well.

So post your gym ideas down in the replies! Here's a template if you want it, but ultimately I'm not picky about it.

Spoiler:

Name: Self-explanatory. You can put your name here or come up with a different one.

Number: Which gym are you?

Type: What type will you specialize in? You do not have to adhere to a single type as long as you have a central theme, but I would prefer it if you did.

Description of Gym: Put a nice description of how your gym looks and operates. Nearly every gym in the series has a puzzle tied to it. Whether it be a maze, a strength puzzle, or even just a long corridor full of trainers.

Team: Yes, it's time to build your mighty team! Remember that while you should offer a decent challenge, you shouldn't be unbeatable. Try not to overpower your Pokémon. For a gauge on what level your Pokémon should be, then check below. Feel free to add a team for before and after defeating the Elite Four.

Spoiler:

First Gym: Lv. 8-14
Second Gym: Lv. 16- 23
Third Gym: Lv. 19-27
Fourth Gym: Lv. 27- 33
Fifth Gym: Lv. 36- 42
Sixth Gym: Lv. 38- 45
Seventh Gym: Lv. 44- 48
Eighth Gym: Lv. 53- 59

Badge: What is your badge called? What does it look like? No worries if you can't draw, just describe it.

So there you go. Reply with your idea, and feel free to do way better than me.

Spoiler:

Name: William

Number: 8th

Type: Ghost

Description: The gym is set in a large, almost Dark Souls-esque cathedral. As such, all of the trainers there would be monks. There would be four bells in the gym that you would have to to make your way to and ring. To ring them, you would have solve a small puzzle (Jigsaw, sliding, strength etc.) Once you ring all four bells, a staircase would come down and take you to me. I would be standing there, reading a book. I would begin reading aloud, possibly telling the backstory of the region's legendary.

I liked the concept that Toby went with and how he created his own pokemon gym. I doubt there will be an Ice gym, as we have had a Ice gym for 3 generations in a row, but that is what mine would be.

Spoiler:

Name: Nickolas
Number: 8th
Type: Ice would be the main type, but with some ground and grass.
Badge: Pine Badge
Reward: TMxx Frost Breath or Ice Beam

Description of Gym: The gym would be set in an open mountain. A lot of pine trees and snow would be the main focus. There would be a sliding puzzle where you have to light up 6 trees with clear lights. There would be a trainer that you have to beat at every tree before you can light the tree up.

The area would be set for night time and the old fashioned street lamps would light the gym up a bit. But the more trees you light up, the more you can see.

Once all the trees are lit, you will be able to walk up to a platform that has a massive tree similar to the one that is seen in the anime when Ash gives Serena the blue ribbon. The man would be older and would have mainly green and red on. He would look similar to Wulfric. The man would be sitting cross legged on the ground, talking to some of his pokemon. He would be holding a big mug of Hot Chocolate and he is drinking it during his battle with the trainer. In a story or anime, all challenger would have to enjoy a glass of hot chocolate if not allergic. The lesson would be to learn how to enjoy things. Don't rush because you would end up missing wonderful moments.

Team: (I am going to make the strongest Lv 60, due to the fact i can't stand it being 59.)

Mamoswine Lv. 57
Earthquake, Blizzard, Ice Beam, Bulldoze

Beartic Lv. 57
Icicle Crash, Brine, Brick Break, Ice Beam

Vanilluxe Lv. 60
Freeze-Dry, Ice Beam, Frost Breath, Uproar

 

[Baodan Dalmie]

Name: Caelan

Number: 5th

Type: Electric

Description of Gym: The outside would look like a giant power plant. On the inside all the trainers would be power plant workers or electrical engineers. To get to me you would have to get to the middle of the room and flip a switch at which point a giant lightning rod would come out of the floor. Then you would have to go to the sides of the gym and activate to similar rods but these would shoot lightning at the one in the middle which would shoot lighting at a rod gem in the wall at the back of the gym lighting it up and opening a door under it where you will find me working on a power generator. I will say "Electricity is what runs our daily lives. If the power goes out then chaos would erupt. It is the same with Pokemon battling. Now show me do you and your Pokemon have enough power to beat me and earn my badge?"

Team: (I actually won't give a full one cause we don't know exactly what will be in the game.)
Luxray-Lvl 42 (Would be my MVP especially if we get a mega for it like is so definitely needs!)
Moves-Volt Switch, Wild Charge, Super Power, Hidden Power Ice.
Galvantula-Lvl 38
Moves-Sticky Web, Thunder, Bug Buzz, Giga Drain.
Zapdos-Lvl 36
Moves-Thunderbolt, Roost, Hidden Power Ice, Heatwave.

Badge: Power badge-A power level gauge that goes from 1 to 100 and matches the level of the highest level Pokemon you own and stays on 100 when you get there.

Description of Gym: An archeological dig site. You descend a ladder into the first pit, battle a few trainers, and look for a switch.

Description of Gym: My gym would feature a cool floor full of high power water blisters inside a water park.
