► In the world of Pokemon, Gym Leaders are elite trainers who test other Pokemon Trainers as well as their Pokemon to see if they are strong and resourceful enough to take the Pokemon League challenge (Bulbapedia). They act as mentors to the members of their Pokemon Gym, and usually specialize in a certain type of Pokemon. Today, I'll be exploring what I would be like if I was a Pokemon Gym Leader in the world of Pokemon!

I would be a psychic type gym leader. The challenge would be rescuing 1 of the 3 Pokémon from a mini sinking island, the Pokémon with the weakness to water will be the 1 you need to save, if you choose the wrong Pokémon there will be people ready to save it, if you choose the right 1, you will get to battle me for the Savior badge. My Pokémon will be an Espurr with disarming voice, psyshock, covet, and yawn. A male Meowstic with psychic, psyshock, disarming voice, and covet. A Gallade with close combat, psychic, night slash, and future sight. An Espeon with iron tail, signal beam, heal bell, and future sight. A Mr. Rime with mimic, dazzling gleam, psychic, and sucker punch. My gym backstory is that I first started as a Dark type Gym, because I really really REALLY wanted a Mew, they are SO CUTE, so I tried dark type to be super affective against Mew's psychic type, but the dark type Pokémon went too far and ended up seriously injuring some trainers Pokémon, so I moved on to ghost type Pokémon, who tried making me a ghost type, if you know what I mean, so, I moved on to the one other type I could think of, trying to use psychic Pokémon to resist the Mew and to study it's type, and that's where we are now, and that's why you have to save a Pokémon as the challenge, because I needed something kind, to try to recover from all the evil I've been using.

I've mentioned it before, but I think I have a few new ideas. Just to note, I would DEFINITELY be an end-game gym leader unless the game implements scaling gym levels, because the team I've come up with would be worthy of an elite 4, a type specialist champion, or even a type specialist battle facility leader. Region: Probably Orre, honestly, but an Orre that's fully recovered from whatever fucked it up, with a league of its own. Town: A new city set on the site of the old Cypher Key Lair, with the factory converted into a high-tech mini-arcology that makes up a good chunk of the main town (kinda like Maville City in ORAS). Let's call it Bismuth City. Type: Electric Gym location: the top of the pyramid structure of the former Cypher Key Lair Badge: The Gigabyte Badge. Based on the computer and mathematics theme of this gym. Gym puzzle and design: The "Magic Square" math puzzle - a 3x3 grid with the numbers 1 to 9, where all horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines must add up to 15. There are eight trainers in the gym, each one on top of an outside square in the puzzle. They're like the trainers in Cinnabar gym, you have to challenge them. Defeating each trainer automatically sets and locks that trainer's square to the correct number. There's also a console at the entrance that you can interact with to set the squares manually. This way, you can either do the puzzle normally or fight the trainers for hints. Of course you can always fight the trainers after doing the puzzle. The trainers are all ace trainers, scientists and rockers. All of them have mostly electric types but there are some steel, psychic, poison, normal and dark types as well that are appropriate to each trainer class (so a rocker might have Luxio, Absol and Magneton, while a scientist might have Magnemite, Porygon 2 and Weezing, and an ace trainer might have an Electibuzz, Skarmory and Duosion, but all of them will at least have one electric type. All of the trainers will have three Pokemon). The puzzle sits on top of the topmost structure of the former Cypher Key Lair, with my room being the executive office underneath. Solving the puzzle opens the door to the executive office turned arena. My team: I'd have a selection of different electric types with some dual-types thrown in. My team would consist of Luxray, Alolan Raichu, Jolteon, Magnezone, Toxitricity and Vikavolt. Yeah, I'd probably be the 8th gym of the region. Although if I were to actually make a fan game I'd probably use the scaling level system from Pokemon Crystal Clear (the open-world hack of Crystal, not the one with all the fakemon), and have teams for each number of badges. I'd lead out with Jolteon, with the Quick Feet ability, holding a Metronome, +Special Attack nature, with Charge Beam. Just Charge Beam. The idea being that the longer this first part of the match goes on, the more and more powerful my Jolteon gets. If you don't take this Jolteon out quickly, you're in for a world of trouble unless you have a ground type. Luckily, Jolteon isn't bulky, but it is fast and it hits hard with its special attacks. Alolan Raichu is next, Surge Surfer as an ability, holding Electrium Z with the moves Electric Terrain, Rising Voltage, Psychic and Surf. Sets up electric terrain using Electrium Z (which gives +1 to speed as well), then tries to sweep with hard-hitting special moves. Magnezone is going to be my main defensive tank. Holding leftovers, with the Analytic ability, with Protect, Gyro Ball, Volt Switch and Body Press, and above all else a -speed nature and 0 IVs in speed. Yes, a (mostly) physical Magnezone, but one of its moves is powered up by speed differences and the other relies on the Defense stat rather than the Attack stat, and they're both further powered up by its ability. Talk about an unconventional moveset. ...heck, now I want to test this out on Showdown... Vikavolt is going to be a bit of a setup set. Focus sash, Levitate, with a +speed nature and the moves Agility, Thunderbolt, Bug Buzz and Flash Cannon. I know Vikavolt is slow but this way it will at least get off an Agility for a +2 to speed. Toxitricity is a Pokemon I'm actually not very familiar with since I haven't played 8th gen, but I thought I might give it a go. Amped Form, Punk Rock ability, let's give it a throat spray for that +1 to special attack. Overdrive, Boomburst, Sludge Wave, Shift Gear. Idea is to start with Shift Gear to get +2 to speed, then let loose an overdrive or boomburst to trigger the throat spray. Getting rid of this thing on the turn it uses Shift Gear is critical. Luxray is my signature and highest level Pokemon. Intimidate as its ability, holding a life orb. Iron Tail, Throat Chop, Wild Charge and Superpower. Probably the most straightforward on this team, because honestly there's not much you can do with Luxray apart from just having it beat the crap out of things. Even with the new moves from TRs, Luxray's moveset isn't very versatile, it's a dedicated wallbreaker. You might notice that there's a bit of a theme with this team. All of them have some way of boosting their offensive power or speed. Jolteon spamming Charge Beam with a metronome to stack boosts, Alolan Raichu setting up terrain and getting a speed boost while taking advantage of its ability, Magnezone being slow as heck to further take advantage of both its ability and Gyro Ball, Vikavolt ensuring an agility to try and get in some heavy hitting moves with its 140 base special attack, Toxitricity using its ability and held item to go all Metalica on its opponents after getting a boost from Shift Gear, and Luxray powering up with a life orb. It also goes with the whole mathematics theme of the gym - taking the base damage output and/or speed and adding to it with additional items, abilities and moves.

If I was a Pokémon gym leader, I’d use steel types. It’d probably be in Galar, since that is one of my favorite generations. My first would be a Durant, then a Skarmony, then a Scizor, a Steelix, an Aggron, and my ace, Lucario. The gym puzzle would be a maze, with Lairon in some of the corners, and if you cross it’s line of sight, it will charge at you. If you are caught by a Lairon, you restart to the beginning. There would be 3 sections, each with a trainer at the beginning (except the 1st section) They will only use 2-3 Pokémon.

Ooh, I love this sort of thing. I also started with Gen II as my first gen and have played through HGSS multiple times, so I would have a gym there. I like to imagine that there are more than 8 gyms - you just need to get eight badges minimum to qualify for the league. So I'd be one of those extra ones. Goldenrod's my favorite place in the region, but unfortunately, Whitney's set up camp there. So you'd find me nearby in National Park. Yes, the beautiful soothing music with which I'd meditate to... because I'd be a Psychic and Fire-type gym leader. Like how Raihan uses Dragon and Ground types. I'd go with: - Ninetales [Ace and my favorite Pokemon] - Espeon [My other favorite Pokemon] - Hisuian Braviary [My explanation for having this one is that Hisuian Pokemon were bred back into existence or something. Maybe they found its DNA in the Sinjoh ruins or something, I don't know. I ride around on this guy frequently.] - Wyrdeer [The methods to evolve Stantler into Wyrdeer were rediscovered. Also, I believe it'd be in another Johto remake if it existed and was done like ORAS.] - Hisuian Typhlosion [I like it waaay better than regular Typhlosion and I still kind of count it as a Johto Pokemon anyway.] - Starmie [Covers the weaknesses of my Fire-types and I'm rather fond of stars and space-themed things.] My badge would be called the Nova Badge, in reference to the hotness of a star and the space theme of some Psychic-types. As for my gym, there used to be a puzzle, but I got lost and kept forgetting how to solve it. It's sun-themed though and can be found in a sun-drenched corner of the park. I spend most of the day asleep or meditating though, so you kind of have to snap me out of it if you want to battle. To do this, you'd have to do something that would fascinate me. Probably something simple like battling all the trainers in the gym or answering questions in a specific way. At night though, you could basically waltz right in and skip all the trainers, as I live in my gym and am wide awake. All the trainers go home, but you still have to answer some questions directly from me to earn the right to battle. In spite of the sun theme, I am rather nocturnal, and am a Psychic who absorbs some of her power from the sun and uses it to see visions, hence why I'm always meditating or asleep. Though the trainers went home, you still have to answer some questions directly from me to earn the right to battle.

Honestly, if I were a gym leader, I kind of like the idea of Raihan and instead of having a set type, he has more of a theme. So I think it would be pretty funny if there was, not really a gym, but a challenge building were there would be me, a super experienced trainer with high level Mons, but weak pokemon. Shuckle, Magikarp. You could get maybe like a badge achievement type thing, or maybe a powerful TM, item, or a Pokémon.

Badge: Shadow Badge (Ups all stats of challenger's Pokemon by a tiny bit) TM Given: Night Shade [My team is a bit overpowered so this is a less op move] Gym Setting: A regular gym but just with a shade of 'ghost' purple and kind of resembles a haunted house. The interior is very dark, with a wooden flooring and almost no lights, but the basement is just a regular room with proper lights and flooring. Gym Puzzle: When the challenger enters the gym, I say through the speakers, "come here... to the gym leader...", then a fake clone of the gym leader (me) floats away into a certain direction. The challenger can decide to follow me if they want, but the direction that my fake goes to only leads to a trap. There is a hole in a strange but not too obvious gap in the floor, then if the challenger interacts with it, the gap with suck the player into it, leaving no way out. The challenger will now be in the basement, then fights through a couple of trainers that jumpscare the challenger and enters a battle. Anything missing?
