    Gym Leaders. You battle them and if you win, you get a shiny new badge. They play important roles in helping you come closer to your path as Champion.

    With that being said, is there a Gym Leader that stands out to you, or a Gym Leader that is your favorite? Share those thoughts below!

    Clemont from XY. (and Bonnie). Even before I watched the anime I loved these smol yellow siblings.

    Also Morty form Gold and SIlver. I dunno, I just really liked his design and ghost trainers are great!
    Also Jasmine from Gold and Silver too. I think she actually might have been the first favourite gym leader I had. She's so sweet and delicate and has this MASSIVE STEEL SNAKE Pokémon!

    Edit: Roxie from BW2 too purely because I love her design!

    Korrina from Shalour city gym, that's when I learned the true power of my favourite Pokémon (Lucario) ever since watching the amazing episode I give respect to her, definitely the best lucario gym leader

    I think Maylene is one of my favorites, her humility and personality make her an interesting character. Although in the anime Byron is an amazinzing character who is a lo of fun.

    I really like so many it's hard to pin down just one...I'd have to go with Volkner. He was the first Gym Leader that made me stop and realize they were actual characters in a game, not just a bar to surpass. His depression and his need to create while in his depressive state really connected with me at the time.

    I find it so hard to pick since I became so invested in a lot of the Sinnoh gym leaders thanks to the DP adventure manga. I really love Crasher Wake, he was just such a great positive guy, Fantia was just so mystical and her gym was really neat, Bryon was a hard ass but once his inner father figure came out he was a really amazing guy, and lastly Volkner, from the anime, his attitude for battling, the way he was I enjoyed the character a lot. I can't pick just one though

    I gotta go with Clair. Not only is she a dragon type gym leader, but I love how salty she is after you beat her. It just adds a nice little layer of character.

    I love Misty and Brock. I've always been a fan of water type Pokémon, and rock types are awesome too!

    I liked Clemont because of Bonnie, and the brother sister idea made them feel more real in the games. I also seem to remember Ramos, with his awesome tree slide and giant pair of scissors...

    So tough haha. As a young kid I always loved Sabrina and wanted to be her lol, even though I didn't really fully understand the whole psychic thing.

    In more recent years, I've always really loved:

    Winona: because back in the day I thought she had really cool hair and was so graceful, and I think it would be awesome to have so many flying types so you can soar around the skies with them :P
    Clair: as a kid I really enjoyed the episodes with her in the anime. And I just really love dragons types. They're my favorite.
    Jasmine: because Ampharos. I just love Ampharos so much. And even though it felt annoying sometimes, the little mission you have to go on in the games before battling her made things more interesting.
    (And the same could be said about Clair after you beat her)

    My favorite gym leader has always been Volkner (8th gym DPP). I really like his design, and I always thought that as a final gym leader, he was the most difficult to beat, and therefore was my favorite. Electric gym leaders are my favorite, for sure!

    I used to love Morty a lot! But ever since his HGSS redesign he's looked a lot more mischievous, which doesn't fit the personality he had in the anime series originally at all. Not sure if I like that stark difference in design. He will always have a place in my heart though. ♡

    So other favorites... Winona and Jasmine! Winona is beautiful and elegant, I love her design. Jasmine's a super nice character and reminds me a lot of myself, plus she uses a unique type you don't see trainers focusing on often in the games. From the boys, I love Roark and the Striaton trio. ^_^

    Did you say... Morty?
    [​IMG]
    But in all seriousness, I really liked Morty in GSC too. His character wasn't the same in HGSS which was obviously disappointing, but I think Game Freak probably though "he's the GHOST leader. He needs to be more....scary?"

    Morty or Winona. The anime and the manga make Morty seem so much more than he is in the games. And Winona is just so graceful and one with the skies.

    Clay and Roxie come to mind for me for this question.

    My favourite Gym Leader has to be Let Surge. He trains my second favorite type of Pokémon, he's a badass veteran and just one line of dialogue from him about a war kicked off numerous fan theories and headcannons.

    Aside from Surge, my other favourites are Byron, Clair and Volkner.

    Roxie is definitely one of my favorite gym leaders. She just wants to rock out. I can respect that.

    Lieutenant Surge was pretty cool. He's a badass pilot, likes electric types (one of my favorites) and is American. Murica...hell yeah.

    Honorable mentions are Koga, Juan, Candice :love:, Drayden and Fantina.
