It is a pretty decent type, and also has very little representation. Their's giovanni, and then clay and that was it. I would be a geologist, and keeping with this theme, the gym would have cracked & uneven flooring everywhere (probably with lots of ledge jumps), and your goal would be to go to a section, flip a switch, and make the floor even again, so you can go challange me. This is based on tectonic plates, and i thought this would fit since I'm a ground gym.

[@ITheLoZKingI]

I decided to try to think of what kind of gym leader I'd be, and I ended up with a much more detailed idea than I expected, and I'm quite satisfied. I would be a fire-type gym leader in Unova, specifically during the events of Black and White 2. My gym would be located in Driftveil City, thus replacing Clay. The story would be that Clay was remodeling his gym and accidentally dug into a dormant volcano, causing said volcano to erupt and ruin the gym. Because it was so far underground, the damage to the city would be minimal, but the environment would have changed. The cold storage would be gone and replaced with a hot spring. Clay would have to retire due to injuries he sustained from the eruption, and later on, I would come along and rebuild the gym with a volcanic motif. The layout of the gym would be several platforms in the middle of a pool of lava, with trainers having to cool down sections of lava to make bridges. There would be a big volcano in the middle which would occasionally shake. The theme around my gym is subversion of expectation. My personality, both irl and as a gym leader, is very quiet and reserved, which I think would be an amusing irony for a fire-type specialist, since all the others who had appeared by B2W2's release (Blaine, Flannery, and Chili) are incredibly energetic, so a fire-type gym leader who's calm would be the opposite of what the player would expect, and my gym would reflect that. Trainers would be told that the volcano in the middle of the gym might erupt if they take too long, but it never actually will. As a gym leader, I imagine I'd have an odd (and strictly platonic) friendship with Roxie, since we're both new to the gym leader lineup yet our personalities are basically polar opposites (I'm a quiet person and she literally sings in a band). We'd want to include Cheren in our circle of friends, but he would initially be hesitant and refuse, though he'd eventually come around. My team would consist of Darmanitan (my ace that has it's hidden ability letting it become fire/psychic, the latter being my other favorite type), Heatmor, Volcarona (Alder's no longer champion in B2W2 so it wouldn't overlap with him), and Chandelure. I'd add either Arcanine or Ninetales in challenge mode depending on version as a reference to them being exclusives in other games, and both in the Pokemon World Tournament. Keeping with the volcano motif, the badge I give out would be the Igneous Badge, and in line with the long, thin style of Unova's badges, it would be shaped like a long, thin volcano peak with lava flowing out of the top and down the sides.

Not a bad Electric Gym idea. I might suggest giving Vikavolt Mud Shot instead of Thunderbolt, to cover its two weaknesses of Fire and Rock. Another possible Electric Pokémon could be Heliolisk, so it could abuse Parabolic Charge for healing, and use either Grass Knot or Surf for Ground coverage.

Here would be my Gym and Type Specialty for each region. I don't care if I use a type that is used by another major boss since the Johto region set precedent for that with Clair and Lance, Bruno and Chuck, Koga and Janine, and Will and Sabrina. Same will apply to ace Pokémon. If I use a type already used by a Gym Leader, just assume I replaced them by either beinh their predecessor or being worthy of the role. I'll also explain the Gym Puzzle. Kanto: I would be a Ground Type Gym Leader, replacing Giovanni and after successing Blue. My team would be Sandslash, Marowak, Dugtrio, Nidoking, and my ace, Rhydon. The puzzle would involve using Dig on a Pokémon in order to navigate up and down between different layers of the Gym and access the room I lay in, seperated from the rest of the first floor. The Gym Badge would remain as the Earth Badge, but changed to be a faultline splitting a piece of the PokéEarth, emblematic of the TM I give you, Earthquake. Johto: For Johto, I would be an Ice Type Gym Leader, taking over after Pryce retires. My team would consist of Dewgong, Sneasel, Cloyster, Jynx, and either Piloswine or Mamoswine depending on which Johto games are used. The Gym Puzzle would be the same as Pryce's since I feel like he'd enjoy having me keep it the same. The Gym Badge would remain the same but the TM I'd give you would be either Ice Beam in a Gen 2 Johto game or Avalanche in a Gen 4 Johto remake game. Hoenn: For Hoenn, I would be a Poison Type Gym Leader. The team would be Muk, Roselia or Roserade depending on which version of Hoenn is used, Weezing, Crobat, and the ace, Seviper. The Gym Puzzle would involve mixing chemicals in order to correctly make the chemical formula shown on the screen. A customary Perodic Table will be provided. The badge would be known as the Chemical Badge and be shaped like a flask with bubbling chemicals inside. The TM you receive would be Sludge Bomb. Sinnoh: I would be a Dark Type Gym Leader using Spiritomb, Absol, Drapion, Honchkrow, and my ace, Weavile. The Gym Puzzle is simple. Its like Koga/Janine's Gym but completely in the dark. The badge is known as the Void Badge and is simply a black hole imprinted on a badge. The TM you receive is Payback, used by the slower Dark Type on my team such as Spiritomb and Honchkrow. Unova: For Unova, I would be a Fighting Type Gym Leader, using Scrafty, Toxicroak, Heracross, Lucario, and Mienshao as the ace. The Gym Puzzle would involve running on treadmills to open up secret pathways where you must test your strength both by defeating a trainer and by having your Pokémon punch one of those miniature punching bags used to test your strength that you see in many arcades. These will only open up the way to the main path is you hit them with the Pokémon in your party with the highest Attack stat AT THE TIME. Its not based on base Attack stats, but on who in your party at that moment has the highest attack. The badge would be the Combat Badge and be shaped like a black belt in martial arts. The TM received is Drain Punch. Kalos: I would be a Dragon Type Gym Leader with a very powerful team of _all Psuedos, all with Steel Type coverage moves._ Do I care about balance? No. Do I care about levels? Also no. The team would be Dragonite, Goodra, Salamence, Garchomp, and the ace is the Pokémon of peak perfection, Hydreigon. I will not use a Mega because... I mean, just look at my team, I wouldn't need one. Besides, Mega Garchomp is too slow anyways so why bother with it over regular Garchomp? As for the puzzle, it'd be a test of navigating a castle lair with several traps, trainers, and the occasional chase scene and historical reference. The badge would be the Castle Badge and the TM you receive is Dragon Pulse. Alola: For Alola, I would be the new Dark Type Kahuna, taking over for Nanu. The new team would be Alolan Muk, Zoroark, Honchkrow, Pangoro, and the ace, Weavile (I like to believe Nanu would keep his team in retirement but if not, I'd make Krookodile the ace). Kahunas don't have puzzles, so one will not be used here. Of course, the Island Emblem and Z Crystal received would remain the same. Galar: Like with Kalos, I'd be a Dragon Type Gym Leader, taking over after Raihan becomes Champion. My team would also be simular to Kalos since it'd be consisting of all Psuedos and all with Steel Type coverage. The team would be Goodra, Salamence, Dragonite, Dragapult, and a Dynamaxing Hydreigon as the ace because Hydreigon is better than all of the Gigantamax Forms and better than any Pokémon in general. Plus, given Raihan's preference for Sandstorm and him being the Champion, I feel like he'd use Tyranitar, Dracovish, Garchomp, and Kommo-o alongside his Flygon and Gigantamax Duraludon as a Champion anyways. As for the Gym Puzzle, its simply a gauntlet of Gym Battles where the trainer you face uses Dragon or Dragon-like Pokémon who can use the four main elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. As for the Champion's Cup, my team would be the same but with Garchomp added on. The Gym Badge would be the same but instead of receiving a TM, you receive five copies of a TR since I feel like you'd deserve it after beating five Psuedo Legendaries. The TR would be Outrage.

I feel like my home region would be Johto, and hometown would be Ecruteak. I’ve loved both that region in general, and that town specifically, for a long time. Really wish HeartGold and SoulSilver could’ve come out when they started using 3D graphics, I’d love to see the portrayal.

[@jaredcrabb]

Maybe in 20 years well get a 2nd gen 2 remake. Also, Id pick Goldenrod, and my theme would be wall:D (and yes Ill have a Miltank:D) Or Eeveelutions, since they do say its a "cute" pokemon gym.

[@Victoria-gk1wp]

I'd be in Johto too, Crystal was my first game. Heck I'd like to build a gym across the lake of rage though.

I absolutely love these “If I Was a Gym Leader” type videos! It really shows how creative people can be! And for anyone who wants to describe what they’d do if they were a gym leader, feel free to comment below! If not, have a nice day regardless! 😊

You are clearly fishing... and it worked! I would be a water type gym leader in Couriway town in Kalos. My gym would employ the use of waterfalls and to get to me, you would have to use the ride Pokémon version of waterfall. There would be rocks in the waterfall to prevent progress, so a trainer would be fought and a button would be pressed. My theme is napping to the sound of waterfalls, so at the top of the gym I just sit there in my hammock. My team would be Empoleon, Greninja, Lapras, and my prime Pokémon Vaporeon. My lapras can gmax and is for tearing down opponents against my incredibly balanced Vaporeon. I know Siebold is a water trainer, but he quit to be a full time cook ok? Thanks for reading!

[@gryffnkell4249]

I would be a ground type gym leader. Garchomp (mega), Flygon, Mamoswine, Golurk, Camerupt, Rhyperior Itd be a single battle. Idk what else to add.

I would run a ghost mono team in lavender town in kanto. My gym would be right next to the tower to defend it after what team rocket pulled in red and blue last time. My gyms puzzle would honestly be straight forward and use alittle help from the ghost pokemon of the tower. It would be a maze with a gastly leading you through the gym releasing cries at every room. The trick is that at every room, it enters the next room before you when you find it, other ghost types will be standing at other doors looking like gastly to fool you. How you beat the puzzle is listening to their cries when you interact with them, which they can't change to fool you. If you get it right you move on, if it's wrong they battle you. It's five puzzle roome in total to complete. I would be waiting at the end for you to battle. My team would be for starting, Mismageus, Haunter Sableye Dusclops Shedninja (focus sashed of course) And Spirtomb as my ace. My theme would probably be some creepy nightime flute and chime music.

I already commented this, but seeing these seem to make you happy, and hey, if a little thing can make someone smile, why not? Gym: Fire Puzzle: I've always loved poke-shows from the anime, so that because it helps trainers grow a bond with their pokemon. You would get a costume area, and dress up yourself and your team. You also get to keep your costumes at the end. Team: Delphox, Flarion, Blazakin, Talonflame, and Centiskorch City: Can I make one up? I'm gonna make one up. It's a small village city in the mountains, that has a history of using fire to create beautiful pottery, eat, and light their homes. Because of this, fire is important to their culture. The city is named Moeru Kokoro, Which means "burning heart" in Japanese. Region: Kalos. Sorry, this is long! Also, all my pokemon would have nicknames of course

[@luissaavedra6116]

I would try to do my gym leader work as good as possible.

[@lukebrown5395]

My gym Location: Castelia City Type: Steel Puzzle: I would make trainers put swords in special doors, but you only get the swords by batting gym trainers. Team: Empoleon, Magnezone, Ferrothorn, Metagross, Honeedge, and Alolan Sandslash

[@IcarusOOT]

I'd probably use a ghost team, set in the Johto region, basically my home region as heartgold was my first ever game Ecruteak, Morty, uh, he moved on, got too old, quit, etc Morgue based gym, like it's literally in a morgue, I'd probably brush off the trainers for the first half of the journey, because of funeral stuff going on, just a ploy to wait for them to get stronger to get through, they'd have to just get through the expansive morgue, basically a dark maze that you can light up with a fire type move if needed, you can also find hints in the lockers, though I'd probably make a comment on that if you do, some would also trigger a trainer battle For Pokémon, I'll start with trainers The trainers would use a team of 3, random baby ghost Pkmn from a list, randomly generated so you can't strategize to beat them for free xp and money Shuppet: WilloWisp, Sucker Punch, Night Shade, Embargo Misdreavus: Confuse Ray, Hex, Payback, Astonish Yamask: Astonish, Disable, Night Shade, Mean Look Sinistea: Mega Drain, Astonish, Nasty Plot, Aromatic Mist Gastly: Lick, Payback, Dark Pulse, Spite Drifloon: Minimize, Astonish, Gust, Payback Litwick: Smog, Ember, Confuse Ray, Hex Phantump: Confuse Ray, Hex, Leech Seed, Growth For the big battle, me, not found in flashy clothing like other gym leaders, just a hoodie with an obscure pop culture symbol, jeans, sneakers, and a typical over the eye winged emo haircut I'd comment on your actions during the challenge I'd introduce myself, welcome you to the gym, etc etc, I'd pause, look in a direction, and speak: If you didn't light a single candle: "Prefer the dark? I get it, I'm the same." Lit a torch: "What a shame, here I thought you'd like the solitude in the dark." Used a locker: "Defiling the dead? Tsk tsk tsk, I'm pretty sure you've angered some ghosts." After that, I'd just challenge you, sweep my hair, and toss out a dusk ball lazily and underhand style, in battle model/sprite is just me looking bored just watching with a slightly condescending look with my hands in my hoodie pocket (where my pokeballs are) My team would consist of pokemon not built as a great fighting team, but a team I bonded with Starting off with my first pokemon: Trevenant, saying a small story with each pokemon: "Found a scared Phantump when I was hanging out in my favorite spot in the forest nearby, raised him ever since, poor thing, parents must've been worried sick." Stats have a higher focus on hp and attack Ability: Frisk Moves: Lots of healing, wants to deal damage, and keep healing a bunch Wood Hammer, used as the main offense move Ingrain: Healing, nuff said Leech Seed, healing nuff said Horn Leech: Take a wild guess Item: Big Root, for, you guessed it, healing Trevenant just wants to stay in the fight, taking out your big hitters first, as you'll probably have to use your strongest to get through it's healing Next up: Alolan Marowak "Found this lil gal on vacation if you believe it, I was going where I wasn't uh, sposed to, a graveyard of skull and bones, with a lone Cubone, long story short, I comforted her, and I guess her mom came to help her from the grave." Ability: Cursed Body Moves: Very offensive, lots of focus in damage stats Swords Dance, gotta get attack up, Flare Blitz: Final gambit move, used when Marowak reaches a certain health threshold about 50% Bonemerang, Mostly just because signature move, yknow Bone Club: Main attacking move Item: Thick Club, memoir of family Mimikyu: "It seemed like it needed a friend badly, and then we were just always together after along with everyone else." Ability: HMMMM Moves: Mostly moves to keep it safe while attacking in tandem Shadow Sneak: Quick damage to hit first Play Rough: To attack and lower damage is perfect Pain Split: To keep myself both healthy and make sure they regret fighting Slash: Easy damage Item: Pokedoll, unusable if taken, just there for it's comfort Now for: Bannette: "Found the poor guy in a stream just lying there, probably tossed out like garbage, took him in, raised him, I'd guess he sees me as his new owner. I'd rather just be friends to be honest." Ability: Cursed Body Moves: A balanced mix of attack, sp atk, and status Shadow Ball: *Duh* Phantom Force: Easy choice to use Will-O-Wisp: To keep the damage going Hex: To make more use out of will o wisp Item: bannetteite You'd think this is my ace, no, this is just to make you let your guard down and use your strongest thinking it's over, nope, up next Beat Bannette and I end up getting a slightly surprised expression and look off when I throw out my last pkmn Decidueye: My ace "Decidueye, my first pokemon ever, dunno how he got to Johto, but I found him stumbling through the woods as a Rowlet with a hurt wing scared, I helped his wing, and took him in, been best friends ever since, now we just gotta face the last stand, and I'm glad it's with him." My true ace, designed to be hard, just like this whole battle, it is the last one, if you can win this, you can for sure take on the elite four Ability: Overgrown, when things get risky, damage is boosted for leaf blade Moves: Spirit Shackle, always a nice move to have good damage and stops escapes Leaf Blade: solid damage with stab, yknow Shadow Sneak: Priority Damage Brave Bird: Lots of damage, nuff said Item: Expert belt, brought ghost to fight ghost? :), as well with the diverse types can hit different things more better Personality: Adamant, because duh If you win, I give you a congratulations, "Huh, you actually beat me, nice, well, if you can take me down, you can take the other five down, good luck, and here's the badge." Give you the Mourning Badge, a V with flat edges on the top, and a slight bud in the middle that looks like hands clasped together Any future battles I'd have a Dragapult for my sixth

I feel like you should make it so they way you meet your Pokemon don’t all feel the same. All of them were depressed or injured or something.

I just wanted to say that as someone hard of hearing, I really appreciate the thought of light-based puzzles accompanied by sound. Most people wouldn’t think about it at all, thank you
