You know that we actually have a few dragon types in the game by now, right?

The gym leader's name is webster and his nickname/ title on the sign outside his gym is "The Bug catching scholar" He gives out the larvae badge to those who manage to defeat him.

This second one I've whipped up is for my fire gym leader, Nikki. Her sign nickname/title is "The wicked hot beauty" As the title suggests she's based off the beauty trainer type and is kind of a bitch. When she became a gym leader she found that her duties kept her form relaxing at the spa, so she decided to turn her gym into a relaxing oasis of heat.

Repost from last thread.

>>31788150
Neat teams, bug is my favourite though. If going with a silken forest, would the gym leader be a tailor of some kind, perhaps?

>>31787825
If going with a bayou, why not put a Araquanid in there for the bug gym? Water gym is neat, though.

>>31787770
Neat ideas. I assume the gyms are connected somehow, given similar aquatic themes?

>>31787654

Neat, thanks. I like yours outside of the water one.

>If going with a bayou, why not put a Araquanid in there for the bug gym? Water gym is neat, though.

Mostly just Pokemon I liked, didn't really think much beyond that. But I figured a bayou would fit a lot of insects well. It was really hard getting bugs down to a 6 man team. Yanmega was one I had a lot of problems not including. There are a lot of cool bug Pokemon honestly.

Yours are good as well, I like'em.

Got this idea of a Normal Leader based on form/type-changing normal mons, also pokemon such as Smeargle, Exploud and Chatot are added for aesthetic reasons. (Smeargle, Chatot= Comedians; Exploud= Hasrh audience) r8 or h8

two suspicious characters for gym leaders? is there any DEEPEST LORE planned or did it just work nicely together?
I like them all, very cool--although gyms don't ever seem to use Starters and you've got quite a few.

>>31796038
Well, the trenchcoat guy would work for the mobster, but instead of the boss being angry, it's his goon that shouts like a dictator. Even though they look and sound intimidating, they're good guys deep inside.
Also, for more Gym leader relations, the cowgirl is the sheriff's daughter.

>gyms don't ever seem to use Starters and you've got quite a few.
Well, i just picked some Pokemon i thought would fit the characters and the gyms. Didn't care about them being starters haha

I'm glad you like them, though!

>>31793873
>Why Explosion when none of the Pokemon on your team can use it?

It was something temporary until I figured out a good normal move. I've filled some more of the types out since then, not many, but I've had that switched to Comet Punch.

And yes, I know its not a TM, I think it would be interesting as a TM and given to some Pokemon.

Figured I'd take a shot at this, after I finished it, I realized I basically made an Alternate Blaine, in terms of the setting of the gym, but I figured the leader would look like a mix of a biker, and hiker. And the gym gimmick would be a mix of snakes and ladders, with pitfalls and vines.

>>31797918
Oh thanks, I was thinking of an alternate to my poisons, and make it a chemical disaster clean up site, and then replace the 'bugs' with quilfish tentacruel and dragalge.

Also you may want to do Carnivine or Leavanny instead of Volcarona, and maybe do amoogus or Shiinotic instead of Sudowoodo, to fit more into the plant theme.

Decided to make two for my favorite types. Please don't hate me for not putting the gym badge or theme; I just wanted to get these uploaded.

>>31798000
The fairy one could be a "bounce house," or fun house sort of theme, and the bug one could be an exterminator, or cavern sort of theme.

>>31797981
Sudowoodo is there to have the grass feel going but fucks with its weaknesses(sort of like Volkner's octillery for the latter bit?). Volcarona is in the full team because I thought I could take some liberties there and can also be considered a sun for grass theme. Also benefits from sun alongside lilligant, Tropius and pre mega venasaur.

I have no idea what the inside of the gym would be like. I thought about it being a gauntlet of battle variants; the player would go through a double, triple, rotation, and inverse battle and then fight the gym leader. The only problem is if the player has less than 3 Pokemon.

>>31798172
You could just not let the player advance through the game without having a 3rd on their team.

I've seen worse roadblocks than that.

Nice theme and type balance, just like Blaine it's probably a better endgame gym.

>>31797918
I like the team but if you're going for "rainforest" the two pokemon weak to water might be subbed for Yanmega and Shiinotic.

>>31797957
I like it! I dunno what Metagross is doing there, I guess like a guard statue or something?

>>31798000
Nice fluffos with the Fairy gym, I would have gone with Togekiss first and then adding Mimikyu. I like the bugs you chose, it seems like a trainer determined to prove bugs are strong.

>>31798157
Those crustaceans aren't normally very calm but maybe that's the theme, that the atmosphere of the lake calms everyone down!

>>31798172
Choice Normal mons, dude. Maybe the obstacles could have something to do with rearranging the layout of the gym since you have Smeargle, Kecleon, and Ditto (Porygon goes that way, too).

>>31798220
I like the theme and the mons, but Shedinja could probably be replaced by something better.

The gym puzzle would be trying to figure out which store in the mall the gym leader works at. There'd be clothing stores, books stores, etc. and you have to collect hints from the employees, but you can only do that after you buy their favorite christmas gifts from other stores.

In the end it turns out the gym leader works at the salon, and she is coincidentally also one of the first people you talk to. She is cutting the hair of the Jynx that you battle when you fight her.

This gym would take place in a rest house for pokemon. It is a place sort of like a daycare where pokemon can come and go. It is nighttime, and all of the pokemon are sleeping except exploud. You have to creep past the exploud (who walks around) without him noticing you, or else he is startled and wakes everyone up with his screaming! After you beat the gym leader, he calms exploud down and the pokemon goes to sleep, ensuring a restful night for everyone at the house.

You can only fight the gym leader at night.

This gym would be a place where you are tested by trainers, who give you an exame in each room. Each exame has some dumb questions, but if you get them wrong, one of your pokémon may get poisoned, paralized, burned, frozen, or loss 50% of hp. If you answer everything right, you will face the trainer with perfect status and health, and he will heal your pokémon if you get an A+ on the exame, after the match.

Takes place in a research facility where they try to figure out antidotes to pokemon venoms. Trainers are scientists, and other trainers have pokemon like grimer and koffing, but the gym leader exclusively uses animals that he studies.

For the gym puzzle, there's a sick pokemon and you have to combine a bunch of chemicals correctly to make the right antidote for it using only vague and puzzling directions as a recipe. When your battle with the leader is over, it's revealed that the pokemon was never poisoned and it was all just a test of your scientific abilities.

I like the electric type gym, I had a similar idea for one but I never made a chart for it. Maybe Heliolisk could fit in since he works like a solar panel. I really like the Five Deadly Venoms reference, too. Great themes and Pokemon picks to fit the them.

>>31810793
yeah I kinda changed trajectory midway in. It was salvaged from an old idea I had for a boardwalk beachtown with a video arcade as the gym and a haunted abandoned arcade as a dungeon. I sort of combined the two when I did this team (galvantula and rotom from the abandoned arcade, elekid and dedenne from the gym, and porygon being in both) and it made it hard to pinpoint a good theme.

>>31786765
Flying-type Gym
Scene: Racetrack

As you enter the gym, the only way in is to get into a racecar and drive in. You must then outdrift trainers while a eurobeat remix of the Gym theme plays. If you don't, they challenge you. Once you've outdrifted a certain number of trainers, the Leader, me, challenges you.

I'm the 6th gym, and my team is:

Emolga
Ninjask
Pidgeot
Talonflame

Upon defeating me, you get TM Acrobatics, as well as the Pedal-to-the-Medal Badge.

For this one the gym leader is an AI on a big screen. You have to have a silly conversation with it where you can choose from dialogue options. You have to explain to it what it means to feel like a human can using definitions that it can understand. Once it is satisfied, you battle.

After you win, it feels happy for the first time ever.

Also I know Porygon isn't steel but it fits the idea of AI too well to discard.

It's hard to do dragons without feeling like you're just loading up on pseudos. I think subbing out one of your Flying or Ground dragons just for variety might lower the power level.

I've mentioned a lot of yours already so I'll just say awesome! Feels good to have that completed, eh? Now you have to make your league out of them.

This is another E4 set that I made, this time they're guardians of the Water Temple in which the priestess champ lives.They all grew up together but they're technically rivals when it comes to the ceremony.

And here's the Champ. Honestly not very exciting, but there aren't any Mega Water Pokemon that really fit the theme and with purity as a background spicing up the types might lose something

I was working on it when you posted that.
This actually took a lot of brain power for me to get just right.

Here's the champion just by itself so it's easier to see.
I made a separate set of rules when filling this one out.

Krookodile would've made a lot more sense as your signature.

Finally finished them.

Basically I had the idea that you did the 8 Gyms, and then you had to fight a Lower Four, since they aren't Elite that consist of Four Kahuna for each section of the Region, they would have their Elite Four teams, and then you moved onto the Elite Four and Champion.

Left out Dark for obvious reasons, just because it didn't match up, and Dark having important Trainers is usually a meme. Feel free to rate if you want.

>Bug Champion
Alder springs to my mind so now I have to bleach it again. Thanks.

>>31812065
My bad, I just liked bug and was unsure of who to put as Champ. I wanted Steel, but Steven. Poison was my next choice and I'm still debating on switching Bug and Poison honestly.

I dig the champ! Very cool league.

>>31812006
I admit the theme didn't really take shape til after I made most of the teams, but I like Garchomp over Krookodile, and Mega Chomp still has the punk aesthetic.

>>31812037
The trozei faces make this pretty hard to read, though I did get a chuckle out of the Mega Sableye. Pretty standard Ghost gym.

Here use this template and craft a champ from scratch.

>>31812094
Appreciate it, but I like the types all around. Variant Champs are usually the best, but it just means I'd have to can two types and that decision to can Dark was hard enough.

I'm indecisive. ;_;

Liked it up until
>"Correctional facility"
Firstly learn to capitalize properly. Secondly, I can't think of a more "ow the edge" location.

>>31812190
I'm not creative. It's tough to do dark type without edge. Sorry friend.

A gym leader that defends the necropole of his city from tomb raiders with his big guardian Pokemon with high defenses.
He gives the scythe badge if defeated.
And I wanted a TM other than shadow ball.

It's a facsimile of a big face, and that's basically what interactive AI is trying to be
It's symbolic

I think introducing Skrelp earlier might give this a little more variety because otherwise it's just sort of Trashmons 101

>>31812169
I agree that for Dark it kind of has to be edgy, and it also has to have some sort of positive motivation to actually qualify as a gym, so I like the theme. I think you should keep only one of Spiritomb and Sableye since they do a lot of the same things.

>>31814656
I like it a lot! Everything works well together. It looks to be a very challenging gym, too.

>>31817544
Kewl. I like.
