Most enjoyable Gym Test?

[ReKoil]

Which of Paldea's Gym Tests did you enjoy the most?
Or if you didn't like any of them, which did you dislike the least?
You can also rank all of them if you wish.

The Gym Tests were:
-Olive Roll
-Seek out the Sunflora
-Find Mr. Walksabout
-Make the winning bid at the auction.
-Order the secret menu item.
-Warm up the audience for Ryme's concert.
-Take on emotional Spectrum Practice.
-Take on the Snow slope run.

The below video shows off all the Gym Tests if you've forgotten about any of them:


Personally...
1) Take on the Snow slope run. - I found it to be the most enjoyable one. I wish they'd done more with it though and it was too short. They could've added obstacles or have Pokemon at the sidelines throw stuff at you that either slows you down or knocks you out if too many of them hit you, for example.
2) Find Mr. Walksabout. - Pretty unique. Pretty much where's Waldo, interrupted by trainer battles.
3) Order the secret menu item. - Pretty enjoyable. Involved battling against trainers like in a normal gym, but involved some memorization as well.
4) Warm up the audience for Ryme's concert. - Involved double battles. I did not care for the rap related stuff much. Was still enjoyable though.
5) Take on emotional Spectrum Practice. - Wacky Poke Yoga. Could've been more fun had it not been just a QTE button press thing. Still somewhat enjoyable though.
6) Seek out the Sunflora. - Honestly, it was kinda fun. However I really wish I could just drop them off in smaller groups as I find them instead of all at once just to keep the pack size down and have them not get stuck on things.
7) Olive Roll - Meh. There were trainers involved, but the Test was just not any fun to me.
8) Make the winning bid at the auction. - I know it's an introduction to the Auctions, but they should've found a different way imo. As a Gym Test it just feels lame. The entire thing just felt like running an errand instead of a 'Gym Test'.

Great thread! 😊

1. Take on Emotional Spectrum Practice – This was actually a ton of fun. I enjoyed this little mini-game so much. It was reminiscent of those Pokémon Stadium minigames. The music was upbeat too! I could literally play this all day as a minigame.

2. Warm up the audience for Ryme's concert – This was probably my favorite of the bunch, or maybe second favorite after the ESP challenge. Either way, they're close. This could be either number 1 or 2. I miss those days when gym tests involved just battling the trainers in the gym and I do enjoy Doubles a lot. I also loved the rap battles. Ryme definitely has bars, but it would have a classic if it was voice acted.

3. Seek out the Sunflora – Playing hide and seek with Sunflora reminded me of my childhood. Instead of playing with Sunflora though, I played with other kids unfortunately. lol Sunflora is also so cute too. I like really it. It's so cute when they follow you around. If only the actual Let's Go mechanic worked as well as the Sunflora following you.

4. Order the secret menu item – I really liked this a lot. It was like I was playing a detective game or something. Very unique and interesting and really fit the food theme of Paldea.

5. Take on the Snow slope run – Again, it's like a Pokémon Stadium minigame. However, despite being fun, I think it could have been done better. It would have been better if there was a race against NPCs and/or a "beat the clock" challenge. Otherwise, pretty good.

6. Find Mr. Walksabout – I'll be honest: I don't even remember doing this. Even looking at the video didn't jog my memory. I guess that proves how forgettable it was. I can't even remember if it was fun or not because I honestly don't even remember doing it. Maybe I just have a poor memory? Maybe I just found him so quickly to the point where I don't even remember doing this challenge?

7. Make the winning bid at the auction – This is really weird for a gym challenge, ain't it? I don't understand what it had to do with Pokémon. However, I guess it did serve as an introduction to the auction feature, so that's that.

8. Olive Roll – The olive was very difficult to controI and it was super aggravating. Overall, as a minigame, it was otherwise forgettable to me. I'm not sure if the auction is or this is the worst, but they're close. I'd probably rank this one as the worst because I kept losing so much control over the olive and it was super frustrating.

1. Find Mr. Walksabout - Iono makes everything awesome and my fav gym leader all time
2. Seek out the Sunflora - I liked the frolicking with the sunflora😩
3. Olive Roll - Maybe the excitement of being the first test but I thought it was fun in a cute playful way
4. Warm up the audience for Ryme's concert - I thought the whole concert vibe was a vibe

None of the other ones stood out to me, but I didnt not enjoy any of them thought it way a fun way to get more immersed in the world😀

1. Olive Roll: A little fiddly. Gave the player freedom as its main positive. Lets you skip trainers (and fences) with decent handling.
2. Find Mr. Walksabout: Not difficult, but decent spots.
3. Warm up the audience for Ryme's concert: Entered too overleveled at the time. Amounted to a speedbump. Could be better on repeat playthroughs at the proper level.
4. Take on the Snow slope run: Not great controls.
5. Make the winning bid at the auction: Just an auction tutorial.
6. Seek out the Sunflora: Not really fun.
7. Order the secret menu item: Mostly disliked finding where to go. Made the memory portion more difficult, leading to hunting for people again.
8. Take on emotional Spectrum Practice. Took far too long, especially for a dull minigame. Never punishes you for pressing the wrong button, either. Just mash them all and win.

I liked the Where's Waldo for the Electric gym.
