Your Pokemon Gym

[Odbarc]

If you were a Pokemon Gym Leader what would your Gym be like?
I'd be the gym that, despite in-game directions, would promote using a single Pokemon at ridiculously high levels that one hit KO everything for being 3/4 levels lower due to exclusive training.

What type would you use?
"Sweeper" I believe is the terminology. 100% offensive abilities.

What would your team be?
Starter pokemon.

 

[Asehujiko]

I'd have a lightning pokemon team composed of (I only know generation 1 w/ a few exceptions):
-Zapdos
-Raichu
-Magneton
-Electabuz
-Jolteon
-Zekrom (He's Dragon/electric )

My puzzle thingy would be a grid of like tesla coils and several switches throughout them. Using a switch turns on a coil but turns on another and you have to find the correct pattern to get to me while still fighting trainers (I have no idea if this has been done in any generations other than 1 since thats all I've played)

It has been repeated in every single game except possibly gen 5, which I haven't played.

I've thought about this before, and now that i can post about it, nothing's coming to mind.
I think i'd have a ghost/normal type gym, allowing me to use two of my favorite types, Haunter and Snorlax, or a ghost/dark/bug type? (the phobia gym )

There would be at least twice as many gym trainers as you see in the usual game gyms, some of which are double/triple battles. Fighting me would result in a triple battle with 6 pokemon, or double, with 6 still. I think i'd like a maze of sorts, (no invisible walls) with several wrong choice/dead ends, that results in getting double or triple teamed.

Oh, I know I will do fine, I haven't had any trouble with a Pokemon gym since the 7th gym in Ruby.

White has been a fun game, but for the most part it has been very easy.

it has been a fun game and there are still some things to do and we can't forget the artwork can we

No, no we can't. Besides, I heard there was a ton more stuff to do after the Elite Four.

I have the guide and after the Elite Four you have
your final confrontation with Team Plasma
catching Zekrom/Reshiram
get the national pokedex
do a bunch of little sidequests
and then fight the Elite Four and Champion again (they use the same pokemon just 20 levels stronger.)

So yeah, there are a lot of things to do after.


I don't know what I'd choose as a Gym Leader team, probably my current team in Diamond.

Blaziken
Scizor
Gallade
Sneasel
Luxray
Crobat

My gym would have a series of logic puzzles and optical illusions in it.

 

[ILUV2YIF]

I would run bidoof gym. All my pokemon would be bidoof. My challenge would be a large amount of bidoof statues in suggestive poses to throw my opponents off their game.

 

[iNsAnEHAV0C]

My Gym would be like the evil guys floating base from Pokemon 2000. I would have all the pokemon from the red/blue and gold/silver. And I could randomly select any 6 before any battle with a trainer. Since my gym is a floating base only the elite of the elite trainers could face me. I would be more like the Final Boss-esque character.

 

[animemetalhead]

Electrics:

Pikachu w/ Light Ball
Magneton
Electrode
Ampharos
Emolga (To mess with all the ground types)
Jolteon

no for once that trap wasn't made...instead we get a roller coaster gym and electric pokemon that can do high ammounts of damage to rock types

 

[A Gray Phantom]

I stopped playing after silver and gold, but I did start my own gym. I drew and designed my own badge and even drummed up a series of rules. I didn't really have a puzzle, but I did give a brain-scratchingly hard quiz based off of the game/anime.

I based my gym on a yin-yang theme. Half was physical, the other have spiritual/special.

I opened with the physical:

Foretress - Spikes, sandstorm, and explosion to start off with, followed by...
Aerodactyl
and Kabutops? Although I wanted to replace him with a Tyrannitar. I stopped playing before I could breed him with the move set I wanted.

My second half was my favorite half. I actually gave trainers the option of just having a 3 vs 3 match, and this was always my favorite 3:

A Gengar named Deimos: Nightshade, Confuse Ray, Hypnosis, and Dream Eater. This pokemon was pretty much my best friend. I used him to take down Mewtwo's, too!

A Lapras named Neptune: I basically just used Rain Dance and Thunder with this one.

Finally, a Mewtwo named Phobos.


I was one of the only kids in my school that played Pokemon, but I loved it anyway. I had even raised a Poliwrath that knew Mind Reader AND Fissure XD!

But my favorites (besides Gengar) were a Wobbuffet and a Blissey:

I named them Tanha and Nirvhana, respectively. The Blissey I was particularly proud in, because it used attacks like Counter and Bide, essentially using its hit points like ammunitino .

Gosh this all takes me back. I might just go and dust off my old Pokemon Silver game...

 

[cahtush]

The Herp Derp gym
magikarp Lv 7
magikarp Lv 3
kakuna Lv 2
magikarp Lv 2
magikar Lv 8
Gyarados Lv 100 <-knows only healing moves

 

[Darkauthor81]

My pokemon gym would have trap doors that drop unsuspecting trainers into the building's basement where my pokemon horde would devour them.

That's how my pokemon would grow stronger. On the flesh of 12 year old children.

 

[nuba km]

the co-operation gym:
each puzzle is based on a different pokemon:
1. dusknoir (ice/fire/thunder/shadow punch)
the puzzle will be on ice and you have to slid to certain buttons to change a electric maze so you can light 4 lanterns and dusknoir will sometimes apeare and if you slid into him he punches you back to the start of the puzzle.
2. excadrill (sword dance/ earthquake/ metal claw/ rockslide)
you have to go through a tunnel system were you will wither fall through a hole or get sucked up it if it's above you if it is a dead end you have to fight a trainer who will have a drilbur or diglett
3. glavantula (thunderbolt/ electro ball/ agility/ bugbuzz)
it is a maze were you have to push over torches to burn away spider webs.

after that you will have to take me on in a rotation battle, when you win you get the team work badge which is in the shape of two hands shaking each other, you after wards can go to me to teach the punches to your pokemon.

entering battle phrase 'a perfectly united team can beat any challenge, even magicarps could beat arceus if they were working perfectly with each other'

if I win the battle phrase 'you need to know your foe and plan ahead'

if I lose the battle phrase 'Know you must ask did you win with brains or with muscles'

 

[HandsomeZer0]

A Cloning gym, consisting of five mewtwos... and a muk.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

Actually, the Battle tower is technically still in the game. It is the Battle Subway in Nimbasa City, it runs on pretty much the same premise.

i ment the whole frontier thing that they've made remade and totally killed

Oh, when you said Battle Tower, I thought you were talking about the tower from Diamond/Pearl.

I know they remade the Battle Frontier for Heart Gold/Soul Silver, but I hadn't gotten to it anyway. In Heart Gold, I had only just defeated Champion Lance for the second time, and I was in the process of a grueling training session with my team because I still need my team to be at least 10 levels higher to face Red on Mt.Silver. I don't know if you noticed, but if you compare Red's team levels from the original Gold and Silver to the remakes, they boosted each of his team members by 7 levels in the remakes.

 

[Fuselage]

Legendary Gym on the outside to scare real challengers away and cocky little individuals come in and vs my entire team.
Bidoof-Defensive
Bidoof-Defensive
Bidoof-Defensive

Magikarp-Offensive

 

[SamuelT]

I would have no Pokemon. I would just stand on a pedestal without stairs or ladders. The trainers in the gym would, after battle, just point and say "That's the Gymleader."

I'd laugh as all the trainers would run circles around the pedestal, desperately trying to 'catch my eye'.

 

[teqrevisited]

Psychic type and a gym designed to confuse.

Alakazam
Venomoth
Espeon
Starmie
Gallade
Metagross

The gym would be set up like a hall of mirrors. You'd have to walk along to find the passageways through them where there isn't a reflection and there'd be buttons on the floor that rotate and move some of the mirrors when you step on them.

 

[NuclearPenguin]

Grass type.
Sawsbuck (Sword's Dance, Heal Bell, Baton Pass)
Virizion
Shaymin-S
Whimsicott
Simisage
Serperior

 

[Pinkiequasar]

To get to me in my gym, you would have to run from cover to cover, avoiding the machine gun fire from my MG42. Because it's pokemon, you don't die if you're hit, you'll just faint and end up back at the entrance to the gym to try again.

Once you reach me, I'll have a single pokemon

Wondertomb level 100
with the moveset:
Roar
Whirlwind
Spikes
Splash with max PP (64)

All of these are chosen to piss you off. The only way to win (without Foresight or Odor Sleuth) is to wait until I run out of PP and Struggle to death. You would need to bring a tonne of potions, elixers and patience to outlast me (124 turns).

(If Game Freak can hack the game to get level 40 Dragonite, or level 38 Lampent, I can have a Spiritomb with Wonderguard and this moveset)

Without cheating, I would have:

Rattata level 34
Rattata level 34
Rattata level 34
Rattata level 34
Rattata level 34
Rattata level 34

All of them would hold focus sash and only know the moves Endeavor, Quick Attack and Crunch. This would be the last gym so your pokemon would be grossly overpowered and guaranteed to lose unless you use a Ghost type.

(For those of you wondering, the focus sash keeps me alive at 1 HP after your first strike, Endeavor takes you down to the same HP as me (1 if your pokemon are any good), and then Quick Attack finishes you off. Crunch is there for those pesky Ghost types)

 

[garjian]

possibly a Grass gym... with only 2 pokemon so the can be a higher level, or a mixed gym with 5-6. i think natures are randomly generated for trainers, so i wont bother with those.

Lillygant/Own Tempo - Sleep Powder, Quiver Dance, Petal Dance, Synthesis (get them to sleep, attack/recover/boost-stats as neccesary)

Breloom/Poison Heal (holding Toxic Orb) - Spore, Focus Punch, Facade, Leech Seed(?) (get them to sleep, facade the flying type they send out, focus punch everything else they switch out to, but put everything to sleep basically. use leech seed in a situation where focus punch isnt usable but facade doesnt work... such as an Insomniac Ghost-Type)

in this case, my gym would be a bog, with ponds and mushrooms. trainers could be hidden in the ponds (which dont require Surf) or in bushes, or posing as mushrooms. given that bogs and marshes are very volitile, this gym would be a basic maze in structure.
Trainers use various bog-based pokemon, such as the breloom i use, and maybe even stretching to that stunfisk, quagsire, etc.
that does open up my types a little, so...

Open with:
Whiscash - Earthquake, Surf, Ice Beam, Zen Headbutt/Future Sight/Other (catch out fire and flying type type openers, a grass type is possibly still beatable if the worst happens.)

Forretress - Spikes, Stealth Rock, Explosion, Ohter (probably Bug Bite) (and i think you can see where im going with that one)

lillygant, breloom...

pushing it a little, perhaps Poliwrath/Damp - Hypnosis, Focus Punch, Waterfall, Circle Throw (to force spikes damage)

this might look better in the Elite Four, rather than a gym. the pokemon are roughly 45-50, and arent too specific on type, although the new elite four are dead-set on a singular type now. in which case, my room would be the marshy bog, and my spiral staircase could be one of those wooden cage lifts, lifting them past the nice purple poison-y smog cloud and too my platform on top of the central tree.
as long as these pokemon are quick enough, i think theyll give anyone a hard time.
