Imaginary gym leader thread?
I made a couple because i'm sad and lonely and needed to pass the time until death
Here's the template
Here is mine. I made this trainer almost 7 years ago, thought I would put him in something cool.
>>27675501
Oh, I forgot a badge. Here.
Doubles battle gym.
Normal type
Would be a mid-way gym that would teach trainers about dual typings.
Water gym with a bit of a mermaid theme and a couple of my personal favorites
I'm proud of myself.

Whats the difference between Partner mon and Ace?
I'm assuming its Ash's pikachu to his Charizard
Sure. Why not?
>>27678708
That's how I imagine it, partner is the one you are seen most with, signature is the one that challengers fear the most.
>>27679200
It always feels wierd to see a flying type in a normal gym. I know it's also a normal type, so there's nothing incorrect about it, but flying/normal types always feel like they don't count.
This is much better than actually doing my job

Is there ever a reason to be a rock gym leader and NOT use fossil pokemon?it's good, senpai

FUCK YOU TGAT WAS MY IDEA
I think I'll do another one of these sometime.
This one gives the Spook Badge and the Trick Room TM.
The problem with these is that they are all really well balanced
I know that feel OP
Probably really imbalanced, but fuck it.

>>27690074
I wouldn't consider breaking type a big deal as long as it's not before the full team and fits the theme. At that point it's a post-champion rematch, so go crazy.

I like these
alright, this took me longer than it should have. it's my favorite character out of this set of 6 characters i designed based on the noble gases. this one is xenon. i actually tried a sugimori styled sketch of him, i'll post it if i find it.
the badge is supposed to be a lightbulb with a lighting shaped wire in the middle. i was too lazy to grab my tablet to draw it, might do that later.
i spent hours and hours making pokemon teams for my characters. i could post the art if anyone cares.
>>27691463
found it. i drew the face zoomed in which is why the lines are neater. i think i'm fine with sugimori style faces but the bodies are annoying to make proportional to the style. pose referenced from the XY ace trainer because i'm still trying to get the proportions down. i'm gonna change his outfit to make it more gym leader-like and make his pose more interesting.
god i'm so autistic about this
>>27691463
>i could post the art if anyone cares.

A strong first gym is not such a strange concept
>>27691659
this is all i could find, and they're all on paper which means i couldn't really emulate the coloring or lines. i still have no idea how to make the noses because they're really weird
the little hoenn pixels were done on a laptop that i no longer have, so i only have a shoddy phone camera pic of them.
i need to get around to more digital stuff.

>>27691463
I see your Electric gym and counter with mine.
>>27692382
ayy electric types are great
solid pokemon choices, especially the electivire and magnezone ;^)
galvantula and ampharos are 10/10 but they just didn't go with my character's personality or appearance so i opted for different ones.
made this one for the last one of these threads, editing could be better but I can't be bothered making another one.
>>27689116
I was inspired by this gym idea and decided to tweak it a bit and make it more jungly.
The idea is the gym leader is a traveller who picked up a variety of dangerously poisonous pokemon during his rainforest expeditions or something like that.
It's half grass half poison I know, but we all prefer themes to uninspired monotypes

reeeeee
>>27693682
Again I liked this idea so I tweaked it a little bit.
Water gym on a pirate ship. I mixed some of the pokes up through the badges cause otherwise they would be too weak to be a challenge or there would be no change.
Made a water's edge/pond themed team.
I also tried my hand at making a nonsensical gen-1 style badge.
Rock-type reporting in.
>>27694735
>not filling the black spaces on the artwork
Nice team other than M-Sharpedo, though.
>>27674952
I feel like the scaling of that is wrong, there's a massive power spike at 4 badges since 2 things evolve at once.
This would be better desu.

My gym would be different. It's not based off a type but rather the concept of luck, chance, and fate. I wouldn't have a particular type but the Pokemon would learn moves that are either random, risky but rewarding moves, and desperation moves. My gym is based off the 4 seasons and I use 4 Pokemon to represent them. The gym is inhabited by the Gambler/PI class trainers. The puzzles involve playing various games of chance with them(cup and balls, 21, etc., represented by QTEs), if the game is lost you must battle them. The gym has ancient Greek architecture and the trainers sit in between columns going down a hall, blocking your path.
My name is Destin. I look like a very classy gent, in a full suit peering beneath a fedora, holding a scythe perched on my shoulder like a wooden sword, and an hour glass in the other hand.

upon defeat:...C'est la vie!
after defeat:Heh...you beat me kid. Call it the will of nature, or the work of a God. Who knows? I have no choice but to let the chips fall where they may. You earned this, the Fortuna Badge!

>>27694849
Why Octillery? I know we don't have to be so strict with these things but it's a saltwater Pokémon most of the time.
>>27698244
You managed to be both a special snowflake and an edglord while also not making much sense at all.
The fuck does Steelix have to do with fall? And Primeape wth summer?
>>27698244
psssh... nothin' personnel.... kid...
>>27698434
Fall is when we STEEL ourselves for Winter
it also resembles a scythe as fall is harvest time

Nah, if you start with charmander there's something easily available to handle Brock. Wouldn't be that farfetch'd to have some fairies before the first gym.
Jesus Fucking Christ, this was a bitch to make...
>>27675516
where do you find pics of badges to use online?
>>27710767
You inspired me, ghost gym
I tried to go for a tomb theme, like the gym is inside a buried temple or something, but ghost gyms are hard as hell to balance early game. Almost nothing evolves until 35+, so I had to reduce the number of mons so I could change something within the lineup each tier while keeping to the rough level format >>27711499
I figure Spiritomb works as a good boss-mon early game, since it has about the same total stats as a Miltank (485 to 490), but no weaknesses and normal immunity. I don't see a reason to bother forcing level 10 trainers to fight multiple ghost types.

Gen 7's got a lot of cool fairies who'd likely replace some guys on this team, but I didn't include them because we don't know about their evolutionary lines yet.

How many first gyms have 3 pokemon? I thought they all only had 2.
>>27674952
What, are you going to evolve and devolve your pokemon at will depending how advanced trainer you face?
>>27714389
but the gym could have a waiting room puzzle to being able to enter...and a paid singer with a jigglypuff
>>27714515
Gyms use different teams of pokemon for different strength challengers. These aren't random "top percentage of rattata" trainers, they're gym leaders dedicated specifically to their type of pokemon. They have extras.
This was confirmed in that Pokemon Origins miniseries
I'm a fag.
>>27713929
Maybe the first gym will have a cleffa and a clefairy idk
That's a good idea, but cleffa is cute as heck, so I still wanna use it.

Also thought about moving mawile up higher as a non-mega
Will revise as gen 7's full list is revealed
I tried.
A channeler gym leader in a decaying, cobwebbed gym with only the light of the sun or moon eaking through holes in the ceiling.
Initial team, weakest to strongest: Frillish, Haunter, Mismagius
Rematch: Mimikyu, Sableye, Purugly, Haunter, Gothitelle, Mismagius
Signature poke is Mismag, buddy is Haunter
Here is my edgy Dark-type gym.
Gym looks like a dark vampire mansion and gym leader is hot noir femme fatale.
>>27716579
I like this theme a lot. I'd put more sableye
>>27675501
Really cool team! I like that a Gym Leader would have Wobbu.
>>27689116

I didn't go with mega gyarados, since I want it to remain a flyer
>>27716849
Actually I put Sableye here at the last moment just for the sake of mega in the final team. I though about putting Houndoom or Hydreigon but then realized they would steal too much attention from ace Honchkrow,
>>27717389
By "powermon" you mean bulky physical attacker? She has Weavile for powerful physicals attacks, but it's a glass canon. I'd actually rather wait for Rockruff's evolution, if it is really Rock/Dark werewolf it would probably fit her team.
Between the two you mentioned Krookodile probably fits better, since Pangoro is too wild and delinquent looking, it won't fit her overall aristocratic image. Krookodile doesn't really fit that well either, but it can pass as some sort of "bodyguard" in sunglasses.

Thought I'd make a follow up to my attempt all the way over at >>27687962 here. Dark type this time, in an attempt to match >>27716579 I suppose as I loved the idea of a classy femme fatale style Dark-type Gym leader. I wanted to try to make my own while making sure not to have any overlap in Pokemon or themes with this anon's Gym suggestion.
Bisharp was an easy choice as her classy butler.
>>27705735
Looks like it! Sceptile and Bellossom are fantastic taste. Love your roster. Whimsicott very nearly found a place on my Gym too.
