      Fantina's gym in Platinum because spoopy aesthetics
      Also Blaine's HGSS Gym, since it looks so cozy to me for some reason
      looks like it could be a good Secret Base with a little more work

      My favorite gym of all time is Jasmine's gym because no stupid puzzle, no annoying gym trainers and the pokemon are cake walk for Quillava.
      Yes, I want my time to be spent on better things like talking to my Mewtwo (HGSS) or preparation for glitches (GSC)
      As for Jasmine herself, I as a kind of a feet guy like her a lot. Not quite as I like Bea, Nessa or some of the Maylene and Phoebe arts (the latter two aren't feminine enough to me because of short hair) though.

      Kalos doesn’t slack when it comes to good gym design either. Regardless of what you think of the challenge presented in battle, or lack of, most gyms have unique visual identity. Olympia’s gym is not one you’ll forget for aesthetic, putting a twist on the warp tile puzzle by having it be interlocking pieces of a layered globe like structure.

    The unova gyms are the best aesthetically, but the worst puzzle wise. They perfectly encapsulate the ONE thing I hate about Unova: the linearity. They're essentially corridors that are dressed up nicely. The only ones I can think of that aren't straight lines is Burgh's in the originals, Clay's in both games, and Skla's in 2, but only at the end of the puzzle.

    If they had made one change to the spikemouth challenge it definitely would've been my favorite. The idea of making your way through a town filled with what you think is the evil team only to realize that it was actually the gym challenge all along just seems so cool. It does suck that the town itself is just one hallway (when they could've made it a maze of back alleys) but I have to give them the credit on the idea.

The third feels way to relaxing, loving it. The fourth is way better than in bw1, the fifth is also a big improvment and those ore, it makes light! The sixth is really a fun maze. The seventh is just really awsome in comparison with The other dragon type gym in The previous game. And The Last one is really really marvelous. Tbh bw2 are just the best.

The only one that I think my be my least favorite is Opelucid City Gym in BW1 cause it's just choosing if u prefer offense or defense battles and rotates or triple battles. BW2 fixes that gym. But even the one in BW1 is still decent.

  • @Diembee
    @Diembee 2 роки тому +62

    Elesa’s BW2 Gym hands down. Sure it’s puzzle consists of “Walk Forward and battle a Trainer”, but it’s concept and personality makes up for it tenfold. The idea of walking on a catwalk in front of thousands of fans fits Elesa’s role as a Model, and the music coming to a climax with that “Give me what I need!” when Elesa is revealed is in your face, flashy, and electrifying. The icing on the cake has to be Elesa and her crew walking with you down the catwalk after probably the most difficult gym battle in Unova. In all it’s a gym with so much personality and charm that reflect’s Elesa’s personality perfectly.

Only her emolga was killed by my starter who was at the same level. It's an extremely easy gym.

    My favorites are basically based solely on aesthetics because that’s a huge thing for me.
    Kanto: Celadon in HGSS because of the greenhouse design. Also love Cerulean in HGSS and Saffron Let’s Go.
    Johto: It’s a simple design, but I’ve always loved both designs of the Azalea Gym. Blackthorn is also great and Mahogany in HGSS.
    Hoenn: Sootopolis because of the theme. Also love Fortree in ORAS.
    Sinnoh: Eterna. Love both the forest maze and especially the clock design in Platinum. Hearthome in Platinum and Sunyshore are great as well.
    Unova: Humilau is my favorite because I love Water-types and the gym is just designed beautifully. Also love the BW1 versions of Nimbasa and Mistralton with the roller coaster and cannons.
    Kalos: Coumarine. Love the idea of climbing up a giant grass jungle gym. Also love Laverre and Cyllage. Anistar would be great if the paths branched out more.
    Galar: Not a huge fan of most of them. Hulbury at least feels like a gym and the teacup game in Stow-on-side is kind of cool. I want to say Ballonlea because it’s such a cool looking town, but the gym was a letdown.

      In Japanese the dark type is literally called "the evil type" which is why it was hard for them to come up with a dark type based and gym leader that wasn't the evil team until the stories got more complex and characters more creative. And yeah, I know there are elite 4 members, but they're final bosses rather than "guides" on our journey, so.

    My picks for the best gyms.
    Same rules apply but it doesn't need to be challenging OR a puzzle for me to like it.
    Gen 1: Pewter City Gym
    Simple but very aesthetically pleasing.
    Not to mention its the first gym in the series (unless you skip Brock because Gen 1 RBY were broken messes)
    Gen 2: Ecruteak City Gym
    Despite how frustrating it is to fall, the gimmick of having to navigate through the dark without falling is amazing when you get the hang of it. Plus, Morty is the most balanced Gen 2 Gym Leader imo. Not to easy like Chuck or Falkner but not overly hard like Whitney or Clair.
    Gen 3: Lavaridge City Gym
    The puzzle is very implemental of Lavaridge's hot spring gimmick. Sure, Flannery's a joke, but I still like the whole aesthetic of the Gym, especially with the overhanging steam.
    Gen 4: Eterna City Gym
    I love the forest maze in DP and the way the flower moves like a clock in Platinum is entertaining. Plus, for a Grass Type Gym Leader, Gardenia does pose a decent challenge with Roserade (unless you use Chimchar)
    Gen 5: Opelucid City Gym
    DRAGON STATUES!
    I don't need to say anything else.
    Gen 6: Courmarine City Gym
    While Ramos is an absolute joke (then again, so are all the Kalos Gym Leaders) I LOVE the design and aesthetic of this gym. In fact, the same applies to all the Kalos Gyms.
    Gen 8: Spikemuth City Gym
    This one wins because its the first Dark Type Gym. That and Piers is amazing, as is Marnie, who becomes Gym Leader in the post-game.
    Update:
    Paldea: Glaseado Gym
    I love the minigame. It reminds me of Empoleon's Snow Slide from Poképark Wii

    For worst gyms, my Kanto vote is for Vermillion. Not only do you need to make the SS Anne detour if you haven’t traded over a Pokemon with Cut (or you decide until you’ve beaten Koga and jumped though the hoops to get Surf), but the puzzle itself is entirely luck based in how randomised it is. Relying on trial and error simply to proceed isn’t good gym design, and when past experience counts for nothing in navigating faster it’s very bad gym design. At least you can memorise where the walls of the Fuschia city gym maze are, and which direction titles to take in Viridian.

    The striaton gym in bw1 is such missed opportunity to have been a triple battle gym. They could have made it the 2nd or 3rd gym if they didn't want to have the new battle style right off the bat but it seems gamefreak abandoned the idea as soon as they thought of it with barely having any triple battles in bw1. Same with rotation battles. They added a few more battles in bw2 and added new gym leaders which they could have made into triple or rotation battle gym leaders like tate and liza being a double battle in gen 3. Hopefully gen 5 remakes can make striaton a triple battle but I doubt it.

    I gotta disagree about Circhester in Galar. Yes it's fun the first time and it's a cool aesthetic, I think it becomes the most annoyingly tedious gym challenge in the region after the first playthrough. I think Stow-on-side's gym, primarily in shield, takes the cake for me. It's fun every time, even if fairly easy, and the Ghost gym leader to me might be the toughest gym fight in Galar if you haven't planned your team specifically for it. Just my opinion though! I still love Circhester, just not my favorite personally.

    I don´t think Melony is stronger than Gordie. Sure, she has won againts Raihan but Gordie is stated to be considered one of the most likely candidates to be a future champion in the Galar region and has a huge fan club. But I do agree that the gym mission for that gym is awesome. Bea´s gym mission is also pretty fun and I think it fits better than with Allister.

    Johto: Morty because he's an intriguing individual.
    Hoenn: Tate and Liza as double battle makes it unique and different.
    Sinnoh: Crasher Wake because of personally and actually had a good team composition.
    Unova: Clay because he was a great mid game challenge and he is a character I really like from the games.
    Kalos: Korrina because you actually had development with the character.
    Alola: Hapu because of team diversity and character development.
    Galar: Piers because he doesn't use dynamax and you get to learn about him better throughout the story.

    Here’s my favorite Gym for each region.
    Kanto: Sabrina (Saffron City)
    Johto: Probably Clair (Blackthorn City)
    Hoenn: Either Winona (Fortree City) or Norman (Petalburg City)
    Sinnoh: Either Platinum Fantina (Hearthome City) or Volkner (Sunyshore City)
    Unova: I’ll split this into 2
    Black/White 1: Drayden/Iris (Opelucid City) (Special mention for Cilan/Chili/Cress (Striaton City) for having a great and unique premise)
    Black/White 2: Burgh (Castelia City), Elesa (Nimbasa City) (MUCH better in this game than in the first one!!) Clay (Driftveil City), Skyla (Mistralton City), Drayden (Opelucid City), and Marlon (Humilau City) (A personal favorite Gym if I may say)
    Kalos: Grant (Cyllage City), Korrina (Shalour City), Valerie (Laverre City) (Valerie is my all time favorite Gym Leader), and Olympia (Anistar City) (Winner of most beautiful Gym I’ve ever seen)
    Galar: Bea/Allister (Stow-on-Side), Gordie/Melony (Circhester City), and Piers (Spikemuth)
    And here’s my least favorites as well!!
    Kanto: Lt. Surge (Vermillion City) (Hate the finding switches in garbage cans mechanic!!)
    Johto: Whitney (Goldenrod City) (Whitney is probably the most annoying Gym Leader of all time to beat!!)
    Hoenn: Wallace/Juan (Sootapolis City) (Very annoying puzzle to try and complete.)
    Sinnoh: Candice (Snowpoint City) (Easily my least favorite Gym mechanic of all time that had to make me search up a guide to figure out the puzzle!! Fighting Candice is the only good part of this Gym. I’m going to gate getting to this part in the remakes lol!! 😂)
    Unova: Black/White 1 is either Elesa (Nimbasa City) (Elesa was MUCH better in the sequels) or Lenora (Nacrene City) (Very annoying Gym Leader to beat.). And Black/White 2 is Roxie (Virbank City) (It’s the worst Gym out of the almost flawless perfect Gyms in this game).
    Kalos: Ramos (Most underwhelming and dissappointing Gym in the entire game)
    Galar: Milo (Just a basic Gym that can be pretty forgettable)
    I hope you like my personal opinions on my favorite and least favorite Gyms in every region!! ❤️😊

  • @Zeturic
    @Zeturic Рік тому

    I actually really hate Blaine's gym in Let's Go.
    I always like to fight all the Gym Trainers because otherwise their experience is lost (because you can't fight them afterward). Blaine's gym is set up like a quiz, and fighting a Gym Trainer is the consequence of getting a question wrong. I don't particularly enjoy intentionally getting every question wrong, (though the absolutely worst gym in this respect is Fantina's Gym in DP and BDSP), and this is already a downgrade from the original design, where you could either choose to do questions or trainers to progress, but that isn't even my actual issue with it.
    The bigger issue is that the entire thing is a glorified cutscene. You don't get control back at any point from starting until after you've defeated Blaine. This means that if your primary Pokémon you're using for the gym gets put out of commission somehow, you can't leave to heal it. When I went through it the first time, I got extremely unlucky with the Gym Trainers burning and getting critical hits on my Pokémon left and right. Considering that I really don't like using items in battle, it made the Blaine fight much harder than it should've been. I only count myself lucky that I didn't run into issues with Gyarados running out of Waterfall PP.

    You and I are gonna have to agree to disagree on Kalos's best gym. Grant's gym is mostly just tedious. It's not the worst gym in Kalos for tedium, that'd be Clemont's gym, but it's up there.
    As for which ones I think are the best, Korrina's gym is pretty cool. Yeah, the "puzzle" is just a case of needing to beat all the trainers in the room first before you can fight her, but it kinda fits the fighting type theme, plus the place looks amazing and is great fun to bust out the skates in. Olympia's gym is even cooler, though I'm honestly not sure it even has a puzzle. Wulfric's gym, however, has a great puzzle.
    Grant's gym isn't the worst in Kalos (again, Clemont's gym is just annoying), but it's not good. If you ask me, Grant's duking it out with Ramos for sixth place.
