Title says it all. Rank the Kalos gyms and discuss.
I agree.I`d say the best ones were the Clemont and Olympia matches. The other six, while not terrible, weren`t that great either.
I agree.
Others were average/solid IMO, but the truly good ones were those two.
I disagree
Kalos has easily had the highest ratio of quality gym matches compared to other reigions for me. Even Grant, the the worst one, is still better then like two reigions worth of previous gym battles
And then people wonder why I say XY is overrated lolI disagree

Isnt that only cause of the animation quality compared the other 5 regions?
And then people wonder why I say XY is overrated lol
Yeah?
I dont see how that changes anything, animation is very important in crafting a good gym battle believe it or not
Lol stop, that sounds petty
There is generally more to gym matches then animation budget. And I even said that the other battles outside those two weren't bad, just not outstanding

Analysis on this: Pikachu carried the crew for the early part of the badge quest then with evolutions and training the bridged the gap. Talonflame is the obvious workhorse of the region with a whooping 14 separate battles. Pikachu and Greninja the obvious Gym aces though the quality of Greninja's latter victories outshines Pikachu's early ones. Hawlucha coming straight even shows its reliability and resilience as the middleman in the Gym battles. Goodra had a good win but a very small sample size to work with. Noivern is an unknown.Final Gym Battle Record for Ash's Pokemon:

1 Double battle victory for Talonflame/Frogadier
The three after Clemont are rather close IMO (they're in the solid range) and could really be ranked any way. Really its Valerie and Grant that have the obvious drop in quality. It wasn't a bad match. A solid one though I say the same for VIola and Korrina.Damn I didnt think Wulfric rematch should be that low 0_O
