This is Roxanne (ツツジ), the first gym leader of Pokemon

>>32092759
Great girl, wasted on a shit gen for Gym Leaders. Had she been in Gen 5 or Gen 7, the Gens that focus more on Gym Leaders, she'd be the most popular.

gen 5 shoehorning gym leaders into the story was fucking shit, just let me cross the fucking town and earn my badge already, why do i need to go to local dungeon [X} to have a brief dialogue just so i can fight the fucking gym?

Want to give them more focus? Optional side quests, why does everything needs to be so railroaded?

Maylene (スモモ) will have a bowl, too

>>32092794
Is she? Courtney and Zinnia are far more recognizable, because they had a proper role.

>>32092809
Because no one gives a single shit about what you want. A story needs characters, and those characters being Gym Leaders is good for world building. Making that optional side quests is far less effective.

WAS popular anon, come to think of it May is the only gen 3 girl whose still popular. Courtney's popularity is more based on ORAS and Zinnia is gen 6

>>32092836
We don't NEED to be there, we didn't see the gym leaders fighting the sages in BW and you don't see me complaining, if you want world building create optional shit, stop fucking cockblocking the player everytime he goes to a new route, this was the worst thing about BW and i hated that

>>32092829

Retarded "argument", might as well not reply at all you mouth breathing faggot
>Making that optional side quests is far less effective.
If the player gives a fuck he will go check that out, if he doesn't he just moves on with the journey and it all happens offscreen if its required for progression, there is no downside and it makes the game less linear, gym leaders doing nothing is an old ass issue that can be solved in a better way

hell if you want more character development why not add a side quest after the gym battle? Have a NPC popping up and saying the gym leader is looking for you and giving you the option to do that?

>>32092900
>Retarded "argument", might as well not reply at all you mouth breathing faggot
It's not an "argument". It's a statement. Learn the difference.

>optional Gym Leaders
Again, it's a lot less effective. On one hand, you MUST meet up with Clay and take on Plasma, which gives Clay a much bigger role. On the other, you can ignore and give zero fucks about him. There's a huge difference here.
And it affects the linearity in absolutely no way. The game is still going to progress in the same way, just you have some optional content with no real impact on anything.

I would say I can't believe you'd think there's no downside in having a less detailed and interesting story, but considering how shit BW's story was, I can't say I blame you. To me, the Gym Leaders and rivals were literally the only thing that kept it a tiny bit interesting. It was nice to see Gym Leaders do ANYTHING of importance.

Being fair, there are cases when its alright, like when its directly related to the game's main plot (read: the evil team shenanigans), you are killing two birds with the same stone there

I was thinking about an example of how i would have done this to improve the game, i remembered how you had to go all the way to Celestial Tower just to get Skyla and later fight her gym

Here is how i would have done this, have her in the gym when you get there, you fight her, win the badge, them she tells you about the tower and invites you to meet her there, the player can either go to the tower and meet her there or move on with the journey (she will just stand there the whole time if that matters), if you want to go one step beyond you can bring back the following trainer feature from gen 4 and have the player fighting the way to the top with her (otherwise just have her at the top the whole time), after reaching the top you have some dialogue about the tower and, as a memento, she gives you sharp beak (she already gave you the TM after the gym battle)

The gym leader still participates, the game became less linear, the player will be rewarded for bothering with the optional feature, the player will have the choice to explore the location or not and (if the gen 4 feature is back) you have a proper way of growing closer to the character, of course this is one example
