Why do Pokemon gym leaders always use same-type teams? Do they

Yes, but they're elite. They're not good because they use only one type, they're good in spite of it.

1) they don't, Blue and some of Sinnoh used multi-type teams
2)it's a thematic choice, and they aren't intending to be unstoppable; the gym leaders have multiple Pokémon teams to test their challengers' knowledge of types and strategy, while also using a type that traditionally is represented by the town, but in some more modern locations is represented by the individual, or in fringe cases is simply due to personal preference.

It's Canon that they have different Pokemon for different level trainers, both B2W2 and Origins confirm this

It's to keep things fun and interesting. When the game had gyms, that is. Themes are cool. Too bad they removed them.

>>32945433
if this was true they'd have different pokemon if you did them in a different order

and that'd actually be pretty cool

Because first of all, Pokemon are games and it wouldn't be fun to train mindlessly your pokemon 40 levels before you can take on the first gym. But even then, they should be the best level 15 trainers you will encounter, it's supposed to be progressive. Also, this

Multiple paths are boring. Linear gameplay allows the developers to create an intentional experience for the player that always turns out better. Games should always have some sense of direction, unless they are exploration based.

Gym Leaders are supposed to be tests of skill, ,not impassable barriers.

Giving gym leaders awesome teams and strategies is like using the SAT as a preschool test.

They have started going this route anyway.. monotype teams aren't the same as they used to be.

Pic related is a monotype team.
