If you were a Pokemon Trainer....

Are there any Dark gym masters already out there in the recent core games?

I’ll team up with @mikejofthecoast , and we could have a metal-themed gym together! I’ll represent the black metal genre from the 80s. Man, imagine my outfit…

Haha done deal! People would just leave after they walked in and saw all the black metal sights

[TrainOfThought]

totally butchered the objective. sorry
i’m too bipolar to stick to one type.

@megazone

Yes, Kanto’s Elite Four Karen.
she specializes in Dark type.
her most iconic Pokemon is Umbreon.

then there is Sidney from Hoenn Elite four.
i guess Mightyena is his.

and Grimsley from Unova Elite Four.
probably Bisharp based on teampicks.

Since I’m a metalhead, I’ve gotta go with the metal type! Ive always plain and simple liked most all things metal. I ended up a welder in life! Metal pokemon are all just so gnarly. I’ve really liked them since they came out in the neo series. The first metal type I got was the neo discovery magnemite, I loved the way the font portion of the cards background looked!

Metagross
Magneton
Steelix
Aggron
Skarmory
Scizor

Being a welder pretty much makes you a real-life steel gym leader!

Ahhhhhh I guess so! Feel free to challenge at your earliest convenience.

I’d go with the Steel type. And like the majority of Gym Leaders prior to me, I’d not pick a full 6. Here’s my team:

1. Aegislash
2. Scizor
3. Lucario
4. Metagross (Mega Metagross)

Always loved the Steel type in particular!

[chopkins1994]

Definitely water and my gym would be on the ocean floor!

1. Gyarados
2. Blastoise
3. Suicune
4. Lapras
5. Wailord
6. Cloyster

[GemMint10]

Favorite Pokemon being Blastoise so its gotta be water for me. My squad would be:

1. Blastoise
2. Suicune
3. Feraligator
4. Vaporon
5. Lapras
6. Gyarados

[omahanime]

Favorite Pokemon is Gyarados so it would be water. My squad would be:

Mega Gyarados
Feraligator
Swampert
Vaporeon
Shiny Kyogre
Palkia

Plenty of Dark presence in the Elite Four, but until this day not a single Dark gym yet? For shame!

[shizzlemetimbers]

6 Gyarados deep, I would be early in the game too and unskippable the Whitney’s Miltank 2.0 weed out the casuals, it’s not a kids game anymore

surely at some place in time they would’ve been a gym leader x)… since well they ended up on the Elite Four.
but i doubt the franchise respects itself enough to actually have some backstory.

[null_user]

1. lugia
2. mewtwo
3. moltres
4. articuno
5. zapdos
6. chansey ( because curative power)

Looks like we’ve got the late game covered already, so I’ll stay in the first city and help new trainers start their journey:

People would only leave on chance if they found 1st Wave still scary.

My theme is a combination of friends from earliest plays I’d be riding with and the deepest types. When Psychics, 999’s and Birds were more disturbing and unsettling then Ghosts and Darks combined.

Course I’m not fucking around missing the ultimate sprite created on my team last. Never least, always Omega.

All Lv. 255. Your team is determined by how interactive you have been with the games atmosphere reflecting in both people, pokémon and alternate dimensional routes (I’ll be in all versions of what you hack into).

I’ll be relaxing at the moonlit pool side of Ilex forest with Karen and Sabrina, observing Noctowls, drawing away. Music would be a whisk blend of glitch & chill. I give you a seriously expensive bottle of wine before battling.
