For the casual player of course. Having a separate league for that kind of stuff would be good for post game.

>>32048754

They won't, nor should they. Remember, this is a kids game, and kids need to be able to beat it. Type theming is something that kids can understand and learn how to respond to. Get more opaque than that, and you'll have kids turning off the game in frustration. It might get a bit repetitive to you and me, but we're not the primary concern here. The series can't survive on veteran fans alone, it needs to find and retain new ones.

More complex and challenging themes should be saved for post-game, where people like us can enjoy them, but they won't block progress for younger players

never

>>32049214
That's a wonderful idea actually.

Solrock
Lunatone
Minior
Staryu

>>32048754
So what, their team would be Pawniard and Bisharp?

>>32049326
>Pawniard
>Bisharp
>Escavalier

Norman's gym was great.

>>32049341
But the knight is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

>>32049389
But Wilbur, Escavalier is literally based on a knight, even if it admittedly lacks the horse aspect of it.

I want a pirate-based gym leader, with this team: Chatot, Dhelmise, Machamp, Forretress, alolan Marowak, and Garchomp

>>32049389
Also, I forgot to add, this is one of the all-time inaccurate TV theme songs.

Anyone can talk to a horse, of course.
Regardless of whether the horse, of course, is the famous Mr. Ed.
The horse just won't answer, of course, of course.

>>32049410
In my language "knight" chess piece is literally called a "horse". I wonder how it is in Japanese?

>>32049476
Interesting. In English it's "knight." The piece is of course usually shaped like a horse, but the name doesn't refer to that.

>>32049498
In my country there were no knights, so I guess we chose to name after the shape.

>Horror Hostess with team based in classic horror monsters:

Noivern as Dracula
Lycanrock as Wolfman
Cofagrigus as The Mummy
??? as Frankenstein Monster
Swampert as Gillman
??? as The Phantom of the Opera

>>32048754
An idea which keeps the type theme is having them carry two Pokémon of a different type for coverage (this in a 5-6 mons team scenario), e.g. a Fire type specialist having Gastrodon and Gyarados.

>>32049537
>??? as Frankenstein Monster
Maybe a Magnezone?

>>32049590
>two water types to check fire counters
>while a grass type singlehandedly checks all of them

Get one that has an ice-resistant second type to get rid of water types carrying ice moves and you're all set.

But Gyarados is part Flying and knows Bounce.
It was just an example anyway.

>not copycat themed trainer that uses mixed strategies from various famous trainers

Tierno was kinda like that, being a "Dance trainer"

Here are a few of my ideas:
-Trainer with all Levitate pokemon. He's a guru who levitates while in the lotus position.
-Fat guy who collects waifu-mon thinking owning Lopunnies and Liligants will impress the ladies and make him look suave.
-Psychotic cute girl who collects huge monstrous badass things like Aggron and Gyarados... and a Mawile. Because the team is like her, cute on one side, monster on the other.
-Gambler on Victory Road who uses moves with random power like Magnitude and Psywave, maybe put a guy or two on his team with OHKO moves (if you're at a higher level than him you don't have to worry about those...) Put something with Moody on there too.
-Trainer obsessed with speed. If your pokemon outspeed his he will use X-Speeds until his guys are faster. Uses naturally fast stuff like Ninjask, Accelgor and Jolteon.

>>32051228
these are all terrible

>>32048754

>still not trainer who are moves specialists

I would love to see a trainer who is specialist in Stealth Rocking or a baton passer

I would like more options for how to go through the main story. Would love a play through in which all trainer battles were doubles battles. And a hard mode/new game+

Did anyone else think the one dog walker NPC on the second island should have had a team with Rockruff, Growlith, and Lilipup?

yes.

Pawniard and Bisharp aren't chess at all.

Pawniard Japanese name makes a reference to Shogi, a chess like fame, but bisharp name is a pun on "to cut twice" and his armor is that one of a bandit lord a corrupted version of the feudal samurai armor using a command crest.

There are absolutely no ties to chess other than the English name.

In my country they're names two ways. You can call it the "horse" or the "horseman".

Never.

Next question.

I actually really like this idea. this way child doesn't lose attention over to game and hardcore still enjoys.
