the boutique theme tho

[@ericgiang7120]

If you've ever played the game, you might realize that each Gym Leader does something unique before their gym battle: Viola - takes a photo of you. Grant - cracks a joint in his shoulder. Korrina - roller skates onto the battlefield. Ramos - tosses his hedge clippers in the air and catches them. Clemont - activates the Aipom arm and Heliolisk flash from his Clemontic Gear. Valerie - does a curtsy. Olympia - uses telepathy to levitate herself. Wulfric - slaps his stomach.

I think they made it easy. Unless you guys didn't use the EXP. Share, then I'd say you guys are really good at it. I played through X recently without the EXP. Share and it was fairly challenging. Starting around the 6th gym everyone is just extremely over leveled. Lysandre's Pokemon were about 10 levels higher than mine in the final fight. When I got to Victory Road all the wild Pokemon were even 10 levels higher...

Man the gyms were too easy in this game, not much of a challenge like they used to be. Also they only had like 2-4 pokemon, making it a breeze and short-lived. Korrina was the only gym leader that actually gave me a fight for 2 reasons: -That Hawlucha was a pure pain in the ass. -and she requests to fight again when lucario leaves her side, Mega Vs Mega How cool is that?

[@ZerogunRivale]

SceptileTheReptile That fight was easy for me because I had a Sylveon with an offensive Fairy attack. For me, Viola opening up with a half water type was a tad bit of a surprise (since I expected to just sweep with my fire starter) and two of the trainers in the rock gym had some interesting dual type rock Pokemon which caused a tiny bit of trouble for my Pangoro. Other than that, I completely agree. The gyms are way too easy.

[@solidsnake434]

It is too easy... i played the whole game trough with no EXP share, and the switch option turned to SET, the thing is i always play lot's of competitive matches online, and plan my pokemon team ahead, it's a no brainer once you get the hang of it, for the sake of it. BW and BW2 where MUCH harder than these 2 games, X and Y are the best games so far, but are also the easiest ones, and the gym leaders and Elite four are just a plain joke to any experimented trainer out there. i found normal trainers trying to do more advanced strategies and having more powerful and balanced pokemon teams than these leaders. that's why people complain the game it's easy.

Anyone else feel like some of these gym leaders aren't as memorable as earlier generations? I mean, I felt some of them like Ramos and Olympia were just there and didn't have any traits that were memorable. In fact, many characters in X and Y were pretty forgettable.

[@IschmarVI]

the whole game is not as memorable as both previous and later generations. In fact, the protagonists are virtually the only memorable thing about this game (because you can modify them and they are not 11 xD)

I like it. Past Gym Leader battle themes have all been about the fighting and the emotions of trainer and Pokemon alike, but Gen 6 went a different route, showing the player that the battle will be tough, but encouraging them, telling them not to give up and that they can succeed.

[@HappySolarSystem]

To me, Clemont was the most fun Gym Leader. Since I use mainly Water Types, I kinda had a disadvantage since a lightning move just murders my Pokemon. However, my Pokemon were powerful, so it was basically a back and forth game. Even though it was the CPU I was facing, it felt like I was facing a real person because he kept switching his Pokemon in the middle of the battle. (As in, before I knock them out.) It was really fun! All of the other Gym Leaders' battles were fun but just didn't have that "spark" (lolz) that Clemont's Gym had. Also, the ways how to get to some of the Gym Leaders seriously irritated me. For example, the Snowbelle City Gym. THOSE FREAKIN' MOVING PLATFORMS. Seriously just annoyed the hell out of me. -_-

Kinda random, but I'm sick of the very late gyms being ice. How about the first gym is an ice for once, and while we're at it, how about making a poison and dark gym? I don't think we've ever had a dark gym and the last poison gym goes way back to gen 1

I've been playing Pokemon since it came out, and I can honestly say one of my most memorable moments was that first gym battle against Viola. First 3DS Pokemon game (Other than Gates to Infinity), and we all didn't know what to expect. Viola had a good first gym leader design in my opinion, and was likable as a character. But when that little flash of light came and the screen went black, then to the Gym leader intro and THIS started playing. That was a moment in Pokemon history.
