LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Wolf Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Giovanni. He was a gym leader and team boss so that makes him better, that and he actually takes defeat well so he has got that going for him. After him it would be Blue/Green, then Koga.

ihop Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Impossible for me to vote against Lt Surge. Kanto had a load of cool Gym leaders but he's one of the best of them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King K. Azo Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Lt. Surge. He's sercetly Guile from Street Fighter, and he flew airplanes powered by Pokemon during the war. Badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
·Toot Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I like Green. Only because he didn't stick to a specific type of pokemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Brock. His Pokémon are all rock-hard, and have true-grit determination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 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.

Northern Sage Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Blaine, if only because his ace is an Arcanine and how he manages in Gen 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethera Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instinct Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'll have to go with Erika and her garden of females. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicο Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 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. 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 Blue - More than 1 type, yeah, that's what is most interesting about him as a gym leader Janine Blaine Koga Giovanni Sabrina Lt. Surge Erika Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'm voting for Blue here, but I had a tough time choosing between him and Giovanni. Brock comes in at a close third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Erika. Again, nature lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 As I expected this is very very much spread out. Lotta 2s and 3s. Though so far Sabrina is ahead with 5. We'll see if that keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Super close match so I'll bump. There's still a tied match out there so not gonna lock yet. Sabrina is winning at five, but many others have 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I also enjoyed teh roles that the Gym Leaders had in the manga, definitely made them more interesting indeed. That being said, my vote goes to Blue/Green/Rival because he doesn't stick to one type, and also he's Gary motherfucking Oak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Blue is pretty awesome, he was the only gym leader I actually to think about what I was using for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 And thus Blue is da winner! With 6 votes Blue is declared the best of the Kanto leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
