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

Yeah, it was so obvious that people were saying that she would have a Seviper

Really? I missed it. But people were ignoring her instrument, which looks like a Whirlipede.

 

[Endolise]

Oh my Arceus she has a Whirlipede THE DEBATE IS FINALLY OVER

 

[βƹβƹ ɱɪɢηѻη]

Hold a moment
The second scan, that shows the second town, has the battlefield that looks like the area we're talking with Cheren.

If we're fighting him literally one route later it would make sense to keep his levels like 1 lower than normal and keep him with a Lillipup & Patrat.

Nope. We're fighting with Cheren in his gym's backyard. You can even see the backyard a bit in Aspertia City's map.

Really. Pretty weird to assume that she would have Seviper as signature.

Her clothes color scheme is based on Garbodor's details color scheme. It wasn't that obvious, but yeah, Whirlipede was the most likely option for her signature.

So my eyes weren't failing me. I was comparing the BW and BW2 map once, and I saw that the bridge leading to the League from Opelucid was broken. I thought I was just seeing things.

I can't wait for it to come out! Just 3 more days here! (Not counting today.)

 

[cookies kill you]

ugh thats kinda disappointing not even a herdier a lilipup i was hoping for a bigger challenge

 

[R_N]

Until I see otherwise, I'm sticking with us fighting Cheren in the second town, after only 1 route between us wherein we can only nab our Starter, patrat, and purrloin.

In this sense, keeping him with Patrat & Lillipup makes sense I guess?

 

[diakyu]

So I take it drayden will come before Shizui? This is stacking with the whole ice being real theory, but I don't know.

I'm 99.7% positive that we're fighting Cheren in Aspertia City. I believe it was Wulava who showed a picture to me last night. I don't feel like looking for it.

It's possible. Shizui's town seems to be the last stop before the League.

Looking at the levels of the first 2 Gym Leaders...wow...what a downgrade in difficulty. Lets hope the difficulty increases as we go on...

Yes, it just feels wrong to get a Badge for beating a Patrat and a Lillipup. That's a team for a Youngster, not a Gym Leader.

 

[diakyu]

Looking at the levels, I think this game might be longer than B&W.

 

[Chandreigon]

Translation of one of the pages according to pokejungle is that it says that Alder was Unova's previous champ, I guess we get a new champ after all

 

[crystalzapdos]

Looking at the levels, I think this game might be longer than B&W.

Judging from the map, I think it will be longer. There's at total of 19 towns, which is the most we've ever had. Granted, we don't know how many of them will be post game, but even if there's, I don't know, say four of them theres still fifteen towns.

 

[Bardische]

So, uh.

Cheren: Patrat/Lillipup
Homika: Koffing/Whirlipede

I hope we get to battle Cheren's old team at some point. I get the idea he obviously has these Pokemon for the sake of the Gym match. He has a Stoutland in the anime game trailer, so I guess there'd be rematches at some point.

And lol I hope Burgh gets a Vespiquen since Homika has a Whirlipede

Good thing there are Magnemites south of Gringey City ^^

 

[diakyu]

The fact that cherens team is bland terrifies me. Gives me the feeling that they've got a killer strategy.

The dread strategy....of Work up!!!!

And also a probable lack of anything other than normal, dark, <starter> type moves to use against him.

 

[Bardische]

Patrat probably has: Hypnosis/Bite/Work Up
And Lillipup has: Work Up/Bite/Tackle/Lick (just to be a little annoying)

I dunno. It's just so...basic. (yeeeaaaahhhhhh...)

Watch homika's whirlipede have rollout. So it can rock and roll all over your fire and flying types.
