So while I was in the mix of crying and being salty that my phone is too old to play Pokemon Go, Matt in the Hat was kind enough to tag me in this Pokemon Gym challenge.
Pokemon was my first game, anime, and so much more and I am still waiting the 124 days and counting until Pokemon Sun and Moon.
So, Magnitude Reviews got the idea from a video on YouTube, since that YouTube asked a few of their friends to do it. I will think of at least one or two people to do it maybe. Either way here is the video before I get started.
Gym Leader
Well, I wanted to have a team with one of my favorite Pokemon. As much as I would like a Dark Type gym in the games, well, it is not dark type. To use one of my favorite Pokemon, I am going with Fairy Type.
Gym Design
This one is tricky. I like the idea of having the option to fight the trainers or be sneaky and go around them. Of course this fad that was seen in the earlier generations slowly stopped and became impossible in fifth gen. But something mystic in design and moon like. So, think a fusion of Olympia’s gym from 6th gen and Clair’s gym from 2nd Gen.
Challengers
Fairy Type I view as a tricky type to deal with. Normally I would picture something like Dragon types being the final gym in a region, but Fairy too seems like a good choice. So the challengers would be tough so mostly Ace Trainers.
Most of them would have a mixture just to throw people off, so you could have Whimsicott (Grass Fairy), Floette (Fairy), and Mawile (Steal Fairy). Most will be in the mid-level 40s to late 40s.
Gym Leader Quote:
Since this would be considered the final gym. At that point in the game the main villain would be defeated and the journey is almost over. So, some mix of inspirational yet still letting them know there is more to learn.
You have come a long way. Every journey may begin with a single step. But even near a journey’s end unexpected situations may come. When everything is done expect the unexpected since that journey’s end may only just be the beginning.

Nice team! I have a Belly Drum Azumarill who is a beast if I manage to set it up. Gardevoir is one of my favorites to use in-game.

That would be cool. That would be fun to do and challenge other trainers. Too bad I don’t have a 3DS to get any of those games. 😦
