Gym Leaders and Elite Four Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

[gliscor&yanmega]

Bianaca shouldn't be the last gym leader, eww

What's so "eww" about that?

I wouldn't mind it, although I rather she not be a gym leader, instead she can be off somewhere else where we can battle her post league. I hope she and Cheren and the other characters from Black and White are in this game in some way.

The Pidgeotto was lv13, he had a lv9 Pidgey too.

Not in the original.

The Pidgeotto was lv13, he had a lv9 Pidgey too. And they were only talking about it happening in 5th gen,

Toma was talking about GSC where the Pidgey was LV7 and Pidgeotto was 9.

 

[Astral Shadow]

Oh I didn't even remeber that >.> It's been to long since I played a gen 2 game. I was just playing Heart Gold yesterday...

But yeah only Iris/Drayden's Haxorus, Ghetsis' Hydreigon, and Grimsely's Bisharp are the only cases in 5th gen of being under leveled. I can't seem them doing it with Homika in B/W 2 for some reason...

 

[toma52]

your on about heartgold but yeah sorry just an example, ive just started a new game on gold so sorta carried away there haha

It seems you meet Shizui at various points throughout the game. In the first frame, there appears to be a new area or town that might act like a resort of sorts. Can I just mention how beautiful the water looks like? And what is that on the right? It looks like a bangka (some Filipino word for boat) or something.

The middle one appears to show Shizui coming from the boat. There's also a cave immediately to the left, meaning we either came from the cave, or Shizui took us to that cave. It's also interesting that the last two frames has the rival go around with you. In the trailer, he was going with you somewhere as well. I bet he has more of a role than just a rival. Probably a sticky rap*** but I dunno.

I do hope Gym Leaders have MUCH MORE interactions than before, and not just:

"Oh my god [player], how are you? Me? I'm just wandering around Unova doing what I do best. Well, see you around! I'm totally not an Easter egg!"

Pretty much my usual reaction to everything we're getting now.

lol but in the 3rd pic it looks like lilypads are in there so that is probably where his actual gym is

Where do you see lilypads in that pic?

 

[toma52]

there is a hint of green if you look closely but i wouldnt take it as lillipaads

 

[LadyLady]

Where do you see lilypads in that pic?

if you look closely t the supposed 'gym' you can see little round green circles i think?

 

[Astral Shadow]

Oh yeah there are actually lillypads in the gym, you slide on them for the puzzle. It was in a gameplay video I saw somewhere...

I thought he was talking about outside the gym ><

 

[toma52]

i can make out someones hair though like an ace trainer

 

[kemal07]

I also wanted a total of 16 Gyms... But I think we shouldn't expect it... I mean look... these are the only City Towns we know of...
Nuvema, Accumula, Striaton, Nacrene, Castelia, Nimbasa, Anville, Driftveil, Mistralton, Icirrus, Opelucid, Lacunosa, Village Bridge, Undella Town, Black/White, Hiougi, (Homika's C/T)

 

[LadyLady]

Keep in mind the Pokemon Gym in the starting city. Albeit the Trainer School, it also seems to serve as a Gym. I don't think it's the first Gym but a new Gym building would give merit to another new Gym Leader; Cheren, perhaps?

i honestly dont believe this is going to be a gym, just because i cant see the poke logo with the pokeball and lightning thingy, know what i mean? aha

 

[Dragrath]

I'd like all new Gyms, please. All the missing types would be nice.

*Cough Dark Gym*

That would be cool especially with the revealed Pokemon...
Tyranitar, Dieno line, Scraggy line, Pawnard line, Sandile Line, Umbreon, Zora line, Mandibuzz line, maybe others such as Absol ect. There is plenty of options of Pokemon for a dark gym...

 

[toma52]

but in the elite 4 there is a dark trainer but who knows he might have downgraded to a gym leader for luconusta as some sort of gardian from kyurem meh, i know its far fetched haha

That "boat" that Shizui is standing in front of in the second image looks like it could be the possible entrance to the underwater tunnel to me

 

[Dragrath]

true I may have agreed with the guy suggesting it, but I doubt they will do it it has only been 4 generations since the creation of the dark type w/out a dark gym...(they don't like this type as a gym do they...)

 

[BroaddySN]

Maybe if a big enough deal of Shizui's design is made, we can get them to get rid of his "tan" and just make him a dark skinned person. Or at least in the dub. Similar to what happened with Lenora's design. Because that so-called tan is just ridiculous, I would be totally okay with this guy if he didn't have that tan.

and the US got

Also maybe the rival tags along on your journey at points, like "I'm gonna see just how good of a battler you are! I'll watch you." Or something less creepy.

I would expect the underwater tunnel to be less secluded than what you seem to be getting from the image there.
