Here are my favorite Gym Leaders (and Nanu) to counterbalance my least favorite Gym Leaders!

Kinda debating whether I should have gone with Koga or Sabrina since he does become an E4 member a generation later, but decided to go with him since that came later. Genuinely tough call between those two, but Koga's design and personality just always appealed to me a little more. (Sabrina did scare the crap out of me as a little kid tho in her anime debut.)

Morty has probably had one of my favorite glow-ups in the series. I always wanted to cosplay him, but our only con is in August and I would probably die of heat stroke. 😅

Probably a weird pick, but I always liked how jovial Wattson was. (Tho there is a bit of a facade there, from what I recall he had a bit of a shady past in ORAS with the New Mauville project. That makes him pretty interesting imo.)

Volkner is such a goddamn menace that Lear probably wants to literally strangle half the time, but I love seeing more of that side of him on Pasio! (There's also him being friends with Flint, and having a fun dynamic with him.)

I will forever remember Brycen just throwing hands with Team Plasma in Generations, completely forgoing having an actual Pokemon battle with them. Instant favorite. Kick their asses!

I really always loved Valerie's elegant design, but her personality and wanting to actually be a Pokemon is a lot of fun too.

I would consider the Kahunas a Gym Leader equivalent too, probably just not counting Hala since he's an E4 member too within that Generation, but Nanu is just cool from looking after Acerola, to being a UB hunter within the International Police alongside Looker in his backstory, to getting one of the most morbidly funny lines in a Pokémon game when he meets the protagonist, to kinda being the first dark-type Gym Leader, I just love the dude and he's my favorite Alolan character! I was so happy when they gave him a supporting role in the postgame of SM.

Our first true Dark-type Gym Leader, Piers is definitely my favorite Galar character overall alongside Raihan, and it was a tough call between them, but I really liked how they gave Piers an extended role in the postgame where he was more actively helping the player deal with the Royal Pain in the Ass brothers, so he was who I went with. It's also adorable how he dotes on/frets over Marnie.

Larry is also an E4 member, so I'll probably do one of these and feature him for my favorite of the Paldea E4 (tough call between him, Rika, and Hassel tho), so Ryme is runner-up. Her battle was just a lot of fun with the crowd hyping you up. She had a cool personality too, I really enjoyed her a lot as a character. They never miss with Ghost users.

Have some Gen 3 Gym leaders and Birch

This will be great and weird. (James go very wild on this)

In defense of the hoenn league, I feel like a solid 10% of them are doing okay mentally

A good ol’ ten percent. It might be more than that. Let’s go through it!

Roxanne- She’s… okay. She had a severe panic attack in the story because she originally wasn’t picked to be gym leader until Steven put in good word for her.

Brawly- Probably the most well adjusted out of every single character in the story.

Wattson- Just very jolly, arguably uses it as a coping mechanism to all the dark shit that happens.

Flannery- Er. Doesn’t apply. The freshest gym leader, and has the need to prove herself. Becoming a gym leader in wake of the Hoenn crisis does a number on her.

Norman- This is probably the most normal guy in the story, which makes him an outcast lol but his daughter saving the region really irks at him. He had to be held back by the elites. He has a temper if his family is in danger. It’s actually refreshingly normal.

Winona- Not really the best mentally as a teenager. She still hasn’t fully let go of the fact that Wallace gave up a champion position for her. She thinks about it over and over that SHE could’ve been champion.

Liza and Tate- …lmao. Okay. This is a really interesting pair to look at. Liza and Tate…they belong to a group of a league members in which becoming one actually makes them behave worse - though they also have issues outside of it that I’ll get into later on in the story (and in a separate story with six chapters). In the beginning when introduced they were sweet, but they are thirteen when Magma and Aqua are around. Thirteen. And that’s when the problems start. When they become teenagers. Before they acted too immature, and then you’ll see them swing in the other direction. It’s not healthy.

Juan- In the story he never gets a girlfriend again after Clara died. He never coordinates again because of Clara. When his apprentice Wallace has his desires to get into it he is afraid for his life. Juan constantly stresses all the time, because Wallace makes his hair grey. When Wallace becomes champion, even more so.

Wallace- Lmao no this man is daddy issues personified, had a coke problem, displays extreme narcissism to cover up his deep insecurities, I could go on really.

Sidney- He is not okay as much as people thinks he is. He’s haunted by his own family tree’s past.

Phoebe- She is absolutely kooky. But I think her past before entering the league is something she tries hard to forget, and lives in fear that it could come up at any moment, so she covers it up with acting more kooky than she typically is.

Glacia- Having to seek asylum is traumatizing.

Drake- He once downed an entire bottle of vodka and kept it down. Enough said.

Steven- One of the more normal champions. Rants and rambles about rocks to his boyfriend Wallace. Rich boy problems *shrug*

So what’s the scoreboard?

3/15

That’s 20 percent! :)

I’m really happy I got all the pokerus gym leaders done! So here’s a big compilation post of all the designs!

[ID: nine images of all the gym leaders of Hoenn in their ORAS designs with features resembling a Pokemon. In order we have Roxanne with Nosepass features, Brawly with Hitmontop features, Wattson with Manetric features, a piece of text saying “Norman deserves nothing (heart) die (again) please”, Winona with Masquerain features, Tate and Liza with Solrock and Lunatone features respectively, Wallace with Milotic features, and Juan with Kingdra features.

Mauville Mob! - Team Objective plays Pokemon Emerald

Today, the team grows, in more ways than one!

(Also, as an addition, I've decided to put a team recap into the bottom of every part going forward)

Wally is here...and he's blocking my way into the electric gym??? Does he still only have that ralts?

He still only has that ralts.

Next time, pick up a Magnemite or something, Wally. It'll do wonders for you.

I'd head inside the gym now, but I feel like we still need a bit of prep. let's check out the town.

Oh hey, Rock Smash! Roxanne (She gave me her number btw <3) told me a tip once I could use this HM...we'll need another badge first, though.

Oh, hello, my interview's on! What did I say about Bulwark again-

That is true!

...It was a lot at once, okay? I was under pressure!

There's a game corner here! We have one of those back home. ...Sadly, their doll selection is limited to starters. Shame.

Time to take on the gym! Ah...that electric tang in the air. I hope my team feels this presence one day.

Face me, Wattson!

I see, you are a man of culture! However, I doubt StepStone will have much trouble with her fellow detonator here.

One and done! And it missed its attack, to boot!

And your little dog, too!

A MAGNETON!?...I LOVE Magneton! It's quite lower level than normal. Where can I get one of those?

The confusion is a problem...push through, StepStone...

Oog...We're pretty beaten down, but we've snapped out! Show this man our dedication! Magnitude!

YES! VICTORY!

Oh and you have a bigger dog too. Okay, whatever.

Ok, VICTORY! Ignore that I spoke too soon!

And StepStone has evolved, fully coming into her power! Wonderful job, girl!

I will not be using Golem because one, I'm not sure If I have the means to trade, and two, that is not a rock that is a lizard thing with cobblestone glued to its body.

With our new hidden machine, it is time to head north. I can see the cliffs rising around me already...this bodes well.

A desert! ...That I can not progress into, currently. Weh. There looks to be interesting structures within...

Another cave! And this one appears volcanic. Perhaps I shall discover firey, earthen objects inside?

...No, but instead, I found Koffing! I understand you are a ball of gas, friend, but what are you doing in a volcano? Should you not be in an urban environment? Oh, no matter, welcome to the team, "Skybomb!"

Grimer, too? You have even less of a reason for being here. Are you alright? Do you need someone?

Wait, I'm someone! Join us, "Goo Goo!"

Side note-you can also find Slugma here, and while I would consider it-while resembling a slug, it is made entirely of molten rock-I do want to retain some aesthetics. Also, people would likely not stop making lame jokes.

Now, we need to backtrack to Dewford for a minute...

Back in the darkness of Granite cave, let's see if Roxanne's tip proves fruitful!

It was!

I'll call her Patricia.

Goo Goo is Gentle, Skybomb is Rash, and Patricia is Lonely...decent natures across the board! Glad to fill out our numbers, perhaps soon we'll be able to get a proper sixth.

I will take my leave for now and get these gals trained up. Until next time! Team Objective-because Object Pokemon are Objectively the best!

Team:

StepStone the Graveler (F)

Bulwark the Aron (M)

Skybomb the Koffing (F)

Goo Goo the Grimer (F)

Patricia the Nosepass (F)

Wattson and Flannery as Pokémon

[ether-gearhead]

So I just learned the last datamine added models for male Pyroar, Manectric, Ferrothorn, Armaldo, Forretress, and Diggersby. And I just had the dumbass idea to predict what they’re for, so let’s predict them, shall we?!

Pyroar is probably for Lodge Lysandre somewhere down the line.

People have convinced themselves that Wattson’s coming with Manectric down the line, but that’s doubtful, considering Masters operates on ORAS standard. That said, Juan has to come at some point, and he’s Emerald-only, so Manectric is entirely possible considering the Frontier Brains.

Only thing I can think of for Ferrothorn is a Rose alt, but he just got a BP unit, so it’s a bit too early for that. So it’s more likely him using Ferrothorn in an event stage featuring him. Ditto for Steven and Armaldo.

Maybe Forretress is coming with Lodge Koga down the line? I believe he’s the only major Trainer who uses one.

Diggersby’s the toughest to pin down, being an early-route rodent that literally nobody uses. I’m thinking… Holiday Clemont. Maybe he finds himself missing Bonnie and Hoopa warps her to Pasio (she probably gets Dedenne since multiple canons give it to her, so why not Masters?).

And I guess I’ll predict the November pairs while I’m at it:

Sygna Suit Elaine and Mega Mewtwo X (Fighting-type sync move)/Sygna Suit Chase and Melmetal to coincide with the High Score Event. Green appears as an NPC.

Dexio and Espeon/Sina and Glaceon for Eevee Day, with Bill and Dynamax Eevee as a F2P pair.

Ethan and Leafeon/Dawn and Glaceon, since they’re the last of the protagonists who would’ve received a gift Eevee.

Penny in the Lodge.

Happy Prize Box with Lyra, Kris, Lucas, Elio, Selene, and Penny.

Okay I just... ⚡

[skuntank]

Whether it's bc you hated their battle, don't find them particularly interesting or memorable, don't care for their design, or just overall don't like their character
