Ground gym leader (female)
Fairy gym leader (male)

I just realized that Gen 6 didnt even have a Dark Elite 4

Neither did Gen 4

Gen 1 doesnt either but Dark doesnt exist

>More Bertha's

Yes please

>>27229892
The most reasonable breakdown.

Required Gyms: Water, Fire

I predict: Gimmicky first gym, like gen 5.
Bug second gym.
Rock Third gym.
Ice fourth gym
Water Fifth gym
Flying Sixth Gym
Fire Seventh Gym
Psychic/Dragon Eighth gym

Most E4's have at least one of Psychic, Dark, Ghost, or Fighting. Most have several.

I predict Psychic/Dragon, Dark, Electric, and Fairy

I'm not calling Champ yet.

>No more Electric
Gym 1 is electric :^)

I liked what Unova did

With the first gym being either Grass, Fire, or water, opposite of your starter

>>27229892
I'd like another Normal gym or a Normal E4 like, Normal gyms so far have been all hard compared to other gyms or at least caused more problems than others.

Agree on difficult Rock gym, ot at least not a gym that only has x4 grass and water weaknesses.

Fighting E4 and GL are getting boring and tend to reuse same lines after a while I agree, same for the Electric that requires Electric Pokemon to be increased as species if you want to see some team diversity and differencies from other same type leaders.

As for Ice I'd rather have a challenging leader again like Candice instead.

Also a difficult Grass gym, at least in terms of movepools and team composition, Ramos was a sick joke, fucking gym trainers had final 3rd stage and 2nd stage by either stone or level up and he got a Weepinbell in the 4th gym.

>>27229892
I did a statistical analysis of the type distribution of gyms/e4 once and constructed a set that was maximally "fresh". Here it is (1/2):

>Gen I
Rock, Water, Electric, Grass, Poison, Psychic, Fire, Ground
Ice, Fighting, Ghost, Dragon

>Gen II
Flying, Bug, Normal, Ghost, Fighting, Steel, Ice, Dragon
Psychic, Poison, Fighting, Dark

>Gen III
Rock, Fighting, Electric, Fire, Normal, Flying, Psychic, (Water/Water)
Dark, Ghost, Ice, Dragon

>Gen IV
Rock, Grass, Fighting, Water, Ghost, Steel, Ice, Electric
Bug, Ground, Fire, Psychic

>Gen V
(Fire/Grass/Water/Normal), (Normal/Poison), Bug, Electric, Ground, Flying, (Ice/Dragon), (Dragon/Water)
Ghost, Dark, Psychic, Fighting

>Gen VI
Bug, Rock, Fighting, Grass, Electric, Fairy, Psychic, Ice
Steel, Fire, Dragon, Water


Bug 4 - 3/1 (2, E1, 3, 1)
Dark 3 - 0/3 (E4, E1, E2)
Dragon 6 - 3/3 (E4, 8, E4, 8, 7, E3)
Electric 5 - 5/0 (3, 3, 8, 4, 5)
Fairy 1 - 1/0 (6)
Fighting 6 - 4/2 (E2, 5, 2, 3, E4, 3)
Fire 5 - 3/2 (7, 4, E3, 1, E2)
Flying 3 - 3/0 (1, 6, 6)
Ghost 5 - 2/3 (E3, 4, E2, 5, E1)
Grass 4 - 4/0 (4, 2, 1, 4)
Ground 3 - 2/1 (8, E2, 5)
Ice 6 - 4/2 (E1, 7, E3, 7, 7, 8)
Normal 4 - 4/0 (3, 5, 2, 1)
Poison 3 - 2/1 (5, E2, 2)
Psychic 6 - 3/3 (6, E1, 7, E4, E3, 7)
Rock 4 - 4/0 (1, 1, 1, 2)
Steel 3 - 2/1 (6, 6, E1)
Water 6 - 5/1 (2, 8, 8, 4, 1, E4)

>>27230600
Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Ground, Ice, Psychic, and Steel have never been an early gym.
Bug, Dark, Grass, and Rock have never been a late gym.
Electric has been a gym the most, followed by Grass, Ice, Normal, Rock, and Water.

Electric, Fairy, Flying, Grass, Normal and Rock have never been in the Elite Four.
Dark, Dragon, Fighting, Ghost, and Psychic have been in the Elite Four the most.

Dragon, Fighting, Ice and Psychic have been used the most.
Fairy has been used the least, followed by Dark, Flying, Ground, Poison and Steel.


>Early gym preferred candidates
Dark, Fairy, Ground, Steel, Flying, Ghost, Poison

>Late gym preferred candidates
Bug, Dark, Grass, Rock, Fairy, Fire, Ghost, Normal, Poison

>Elite Four preferred candidates
Fairy, Flying, Grass, Normal, Rock, Electric


>Final lineup
Ghost, Ground, Poison, Steel, Dark, Rock, Normal, Bug
Fairy, Flying, Grass, Electric

>>27229892
Ice is an early gym rather than late game

Normal and Bug are Kate game gyms.

That is all

>>27230430
We need the early Bug and Rock gym trend to end, as well as the late game Psychic and Dragon.

Flying sixth gym is also a trope. We're trying to see something different. I recognize you're just saying what you think is likely, but I don't think the norm is likely this time around.

>>27230646
OH MAN A NORMAL E4 THE possibilities ARE ENDLESS

Vikavolt looks strong, would love to see a late gym or E4 bug type with him.

Early fire gym would be neat. I had one in Randomizer Heart Gold where Falkner had Ponyta and Houndour.

>>27229892
>A difficult normal Gym
Isn't that pretty much every Normal gym ever? Normal got shittier as the series goes on but their gym leaders are still top notch for some reason.

>>27230758
We need to end the "Fire starter get shit on the first gym" trend. This is probably the only reason why Powder existed.
Agreed on Psychic and Dragon because they seem to get worse and worse from now on. Olympia's gym battle is such a letdown.

I´d like to see:

>Psychic, Ghost, Fire, Steel, Poison, Normal, Dark, and Bug as gyms in that order.
>Fairy, Rock, Ground, and Flying for the elite 4.

>>27229892
I just want a Dark Gym.

Also I don't want another Dragon Gym being the last one, 1-7 sure but the last that shit's been done before with Johto and Unova.

I just want gyms to present a challenge. Think Misty's Starmie or that Miltank from johto.

I would be interested if gyms had more of a theme than a type, although I would be fine with types too, if they arent the same old order we've seen before

Predictions in no particular order:

>Water
>Fire
>Fairy
>Dragon
>Steel
>Normal
>Ground
>Ghost

>>27229892
Dark gym, obviously
Dragon-type first gym.
Also this >>27231918

>>27230266
Fairy male leader is named Puck

>>27236071
I think Dragon would be better in the second or third gym, as it resists all of the starter's STABs.

>First
Fire
>Second
Psychic
>Third
Ice
>Fourth
Dragon
>Fifth
Fighting
>Sixth
Electric
>Seventh
Bug
>Eighth
Ground

>>27238037
I should have put early instead of first, but all starters have a Normal-type move at the beginning of the game that would help a little bit. But I just want to see some early Dragon gyms.

I compiled these statistics a couple weeks ago, I guess it's relevant to this thread.

>>27235858
or if they want to maintain gym types, there should be other bosses that are more strategy-based
