    In the Hoenn games, your father is the Gym Leader of Petalburg City. Norman is the only father of the player character we've ever seen.

    What did you think of Norman? I liked his role more in OR/AS than I did R/S/E.
     
    I actually liked how we knew our father in the Hoenn games, it made it even cooler that he was a gym leader and was a decent challenge for the player to overcome halfway through the game. He also had a pretty unique gym gimmick with the different rooms etc, so all around I'd say Game Freak did a decent job with his character!
     
    Norman is my favorite gym battle because he utilizes Slaking. I believe he's the only gym leader in the series who does.
     
    I love that he ain't a pushover either. Your old man actually packs a whallop and a good bit of strategy too, even if it's scummy af (god damn that Spinda).
