If you were a Gym Leader, what Type would you represent?

[end_boss]

So, this question has bounced between me and my fanatic buddy:

If you were a Pokemon Gym Leader, which type would you represent?

He was very quick to answer Steel, citing such awesome Pokemon as Scizor, Empoleon, Magnezone, and a few others.

At the time I was first asked, I figured I might be Bug, because even if it was a somewhat weaker Type, I thought that a few of them were individually quite cool (eg: Scyther, Scizor, Pinsir, Vespiqueen, Heracross).

But fast forward a bit and I think that my definitive Type choice would be Fighting.

I don't care too much for Fighting as a pure Type, but most of my favourite characters have a mix type with Fighting. Heracross, Infernape, Lucario, Toxicroak, Poliwrath, Gallade. Besides, I realized shortly after that being a Fighting focused team puts me at an advantage over his Steels. Hard to pick a final "boss" of the team. Infernape, Lucario and Gallade have been unofficial "leaders" of my teams before. I'd guess Lucario would be the biggest ***** of the bunch, so he'd probably be my final.

I'd be legendary.

All the legendary Pokemon, well the dogs and birds anyway. =]

 

[drbarno]

I'm going for Flying as that what the majority of my favorite pokemon have as a secondary type.

 

[Ultress]

Ice, yeah it has the glaring weakness of fire but I could get duel types like Cloyster or Walrein to cover myself , plus seal and swinub and their evolutions are adorable and awesome respectively.

 

[Gerrawn]

Fire. Because that's my favourite type! And my most powerful Pokémon would be my Charizard!

 

[Unca Bob]

Dragon or Dark.
Dragon for the raw power.
Dark because it's got such a feel to it.

 

[armaina]

I can't seem to choose between Psychic or Dragon type, though I thiiink I lean a little more towards psychic type.

 

[Stollos]

Same as your friend, Steel type, centred around an Aggron. If not steel though, then Rock, also built aound my star pokey. But I wouldn't be an early-game Rock type gym, hell no.

Steel Team:
Aggron
Metagross
Lucario
Skarmory
Scizor

Rock Team:
Aggron
Rhyperior
Tyranitar

So basically, if it can have my Aggron in it, its my kind of team. Alternatively, my other two favourite types (besides Steel) are Fire and Fighting.

 

[GodsAndFishes]

It would have to be fire. My teams always tend to be biased towards that element anyway.

 

[YoyoTimes5]

I'd run the eevee gym

 

[Amnestic]

I'd run the eevee gym

Bloody ninja'd.

My strongest would be my Espeon.

This, except birds specifically.

Pidgeot, Honchkrow, Xatu, Delibird, Skarmory, and Pelipper. Sure, I'd be a really easy gym leader, but it would be fun.

 

[minarri]

I'd definitely be the "fuck a single type, I'm balancing this shit" gym leader. So I guess I'd be #8 in whatever game I grace. Ever since the prehistoric times of Red and Blue, no matter how much I like a certain Pokemon it better work as an integral part of my team.

 

[YoyoTimes5]

I'd run the eevee gym

Bloody ninja'd.

My strongest would be my Espeon.

Vaporeon, Umbreon, Jolteon, Espeon, (one of the other three, probably leafeon), and then probably a higher level Eevee, with adapability and Trump Card.

[havass]

I'd run the eevee gym

Awesome shit. I want to fight that gym.
OT: Steel, probably. Magnezone ftw. Or Dark. Tyranitar, Crawduant, Drapion, Sharpedo...ooh and oh yes, Honchkrow. I loved that bird in Diamond.

 

[Lambi]

Fire. Because that's my favourite type! And my most powerful Pokémon would be my Charizard!

Damn you for stealing my thought!

Yeah, I'd be a Fire Gym Leader, with Charizard as my 'boss' Pokemon. And I'd have five others, obviously. Typhlosion, Arcanine, Ninetails, Flareon and Magmar.

 

[Scobie]

DELETED

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Dark, because then I'd be able to use Absol and Umbreon. I'd mix it up a bit by having one or two Ghost-Type Poke'mon, to throw off the trainers who go in using Fighting-Types.

 

[WrongSprite]

Probably dark or psychic.
Most likely dark.
Nice and mysterious?
