Yeah I'm not finding images for all of them. Y'all know who they are if you're voting here anyway. ^^

As the title says. Vote for the greatest (Your favorite) Gym Leader of the Kanto region.

I'll be doing the other regions as well throughout the day.

 

Match ends May 17th

12 PM (CST time)

 

Match will not end until at least one Gym Leader has 5 votes. (Number may change depending on how the votes go. But at minimum it will be 3)

As ihop said, load of good leaders here. And most of them are fairly close in terms of which I like. So this might change but for now, Blaine. He was always really cool to me and I liked the whole scientist Mewtwo mystery that surrounded him.
 

I have a feeling 5 votes for one Leader is gonna be hard to reach. O.o

I'm not going to lie, the kanto gym leaders still don't impress me at all. Like I look through that list to try to think of which leader I really like and nothing stands out at all.

I'll admit reading the manga probably made them more interesting to me than the games did. Not sure how I'd feel had I not read that.

Yeah, to me, a lot of the time gym leaders don't have much of a personality or don't do much outside of the lines they say when you meet them in the gym. If it weren't for the anime, I probably wouldn't have any opinion on Sabrina, Cilan, or the electric dude from XY. From the games, the only characters that I can remember striking some sort of chord are: Blue (if you played the original games), Whitney, Morty (somewhat in the remakes), Jasmine, Claire (not the best personality, though), Wattson, Flannery (actually, this is only due to the animations they gave her after defeat in XY), Norman, Winona (this is just for me because I legitimately asked my friend what pokemon she was when I first saw an image of her), Wallace, Juan (JUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN), Tate & Liza (maybe? they're a little weird so they stuck out kinda), Crasher Wake, Volkner (might be my favorite), Lenora, Elesa, and Marlon. wow i didn't care for any of the leaders in XY, that's weird to think about.

Lt. Surge. Idk, it always fascinated me that he was a paranoid war vet. What war? Is there some Pokémon war we don't know about? Or is it a reference to a real-life war (most likely WWII)? Not only that, but his Raichu just wrecked me up if I wasn't using a ground type.

 

Second favorites are probably Blue/Green and Erika. Blaine's cool too though, and Sabrina is badass.

I have a full and accurate for the most part ranking list(s) when it comes to my favorite gym leaders, because I get bored a lot.

 

  1. Brock - well let's see here. Besides the obvious anime stuff, before gen 4 I was intrigued to learn that the rock-type guy who doesn't feel all that much like he would is interested in fossil excavating, and mostly what Fusion said holds most of my respect

  2. Blue - More than 1 type, yeah, that's what is most interesting about him as a gym leader

  3. Janine

  4. Blaine

  5. Koga

  6. Giovanni

  7. Sabrina

  8. Lt. Surge

  9. Erika

  10. Misty

Only ones I probably care for in this case is Brock, Misty and Lt. Surge; former two are most likely due to obvious anime roles and other things.

Surge is a badass though, enough that he has an unofficial nickname (after Guile).

 

So yeah, between one of those three; but I suppose because of that one shipping thing between her and Suicune, Misty gets it (and for nostalgia reasons).

Sheesh, voting in these threads makes me think of how out of the loop I am in terms of Pokemon games.

(I did play HGSS on an emulator, but that's it. No RBY/GSC things)

Hrmmmm, well the other one has the tie broken but not this. I suppose I'll wait a while longer yet. I mean technically it's 24 hours till they end. I suppose since there's 3 close matches it's fine to leave it. I guess I'll lock it later today if the close matches get less close or something.

 

So it's between Sabrina and Blue/Green, interesting.
