Let's introduce quadruple battles in gym battles or Triples Doubles battles! 2 teams of 3 face each other in triples battles at the same time! How about Horde Horde Encounters? 5 hoard encounters at once!

I like the idea of maybe basing the elite four on these concepts. Maybe one single, one double, one triple, and one Inverse with the champion having a competitive ou tiered team.

A better idea just hit me. Instead of all that mess, why not have a rain team elite four, a sun team elite four, a sandstorm elite four, and a trick room elite four, with an inverse champion (or storyline where champion is normal the first go-around and then their shadow takes over making rematches in an invers setting). This would allow the elite four to still have a general type theme (water with a few electric, fire with a few grass, ground/rock/steel, and psychic/dark/ghost with a balanced champion).

what about disabling the use of items when engaged in a pokemon league battle, the opponents as well won't be allowed items along with disabling shifting.

Why have items if your never going to use them? The whole purpose of items is to use them in the story while not competitively.

perhaps you couldn't distinct that i was referring solely to the pokemon league.
it'd be nice that the ending of the game provide a challenge for it's players

If your not allowed to heal, is it really justified to have to fight 5 straight trainers who are supposed to be the 5 hardest? Or are you saying no items just in battle but you can heal outside.

Things to consider: - Gym challenges should mostly be singles. You could probably pull off some other formats, but the only other one we've ever seen has been doubles. I feel that some formats that could work would be a multi-battle with an NPC as an ally (2 challengers vs. 2 gym leaders), a triple battle, or a rotation battle. Horde battles would work better for gym trainers, not Gym Leaders. - The Elite Four and Champion should all be singles. - Gyms, their formats, and their type should tie in with the lore of the town they are in. - I am also against multitype gyms, as we have never actually seen them happen (except Blue, who retired as champion). Gym Leaders could be allowed one or two Pokemon that do not actually have their type (but seem very close to their type), but they should have to carry a move that matches their gym's type for consistency's sake (eg. a Dragon Gym could have Gyarados if it knew Dragon Dance).
More to come.

Galom, i assume your refering to lorelei from gen 1 and 3 when you mention gym pokemon being close if not that type. (All types have ice except slowbro) And also koga in gen 2 having a forretress, bruno having an onix, and karen having a vileplume and gengar. Examples also include gen 4's aaron (bug e4) with a drapion. (Yes i know these are elite four and not gyms, les e4 members then gyms to look through) EDIT: I totally forgot lance's gyarados and bruno's two gen 1 onix's, derp .-.

I pretty much agree with everything Galom has said. A new idea though!
Not type-based gyms or meta-based gyms, but theme-based!!! The trainers don't have to be tied down by types. You could have a Cooking theme gym for Cafe Le Wow, etc...

I think that the E4 should be a Sun team, a Rain team, a Sand team and a Hail team. And the champion should have a Trick Room team. If the Swindler ability or the Tricky Plate would get approved I cant see why not make the champion use a TR team

Thanks alpha. I forgot about hail when making this. Maybe just fire rain sand and hail with an inverse for the champion? I think the reversal for the champion would really test players abilities to adapt to various situations. We could also put a spin on the elemental fire water wind and ground design wise.

What's your thoughts on gyms covering two or more types each? Like we could have Ghost/Dark, Water/Ice, Rock/Steel and Bug/Poison for example. Just a random thought that I wanted to share.

Ok so heres my idea Fighting gym could be boxer/fitness trainer/old sensei seeing how body armor samurai fits the dark gym more and have pokes like bisharp weavile greninja etc
Ground gym : we could go more in depth with the cowboy western approach where the gym leader could be related to Clay from BW. Make it to where most npc have that country slang (even the nurse joy poke mart etc) but ofcourse know to not make it tooo overwhelming
Water Gym : some1 mention a scuba diver gym leader or leaders wht could be cool concerning you could have access to the HMdive after you win? Lol I guess he/she or them could be snorkling and then issue a battle now if it came down to vs twins or couples relatives etc you could even add a male and female jellicent ? To match their scuba outfits or if theres just 1 gym leader you could do it to wear you and the gym leader (after u beat him/her) later in the story team up and dive under water to fight and or find items with pokemon and the story villian group in the way.
Normal gym : was thinking of having a huge legit shopping mall with the gym leader being a barber or hair salon women Or could just be a person ( age is a youth teen) loves shopping thts something no rom hack has done and that could really be epic and the npc's will relate to us and younger
poison gym : still thinking
others still thinking but thts all i can suggest at this moment stay Bless :]

I was doing some research on Greece and it doesn't seem like a good candidate for a Dark-Type Gym. I didn't like this conclusion.

iirc the "new" gyms were going to be based off of temples.
Electric Ghost Fire Steel etc etc

Dark Type can work (do something connected to the Underworld/Tarturus/etc.)

Thanks to you guys, I was able to find out that there IS in fact a temple for Hades called the Necromanteion. So a Dark Gym is a possibility, but Hades isn't really described as "evil" in Greek mythology.

You can't have a dark gym. I don't think any gym has been dark. I also think there's many videos explaining why there can't be a dark gym

Considering that we have had gym leaders specializing in the Steel (Jasmine) and Fairy (Valerie) types the same generation they were introduced, I don't see why we can't have Dark-Type leader other than the fact that Greece is a fairly peaceful place. Even then, there is a temple that is dedicated to Hades, so a Dark gym could still work in spite of Greece's relative peace and low crime rate. TrollFreak not wanting to make a Dark gym is not a good reason for us not to consider adding one to the game. Are there reasons you wish to elaborate on rexthegamer ?
