Out of curiosity, who are your least favorite Gym Leaders/equivalents? I'd say these would be mine, but I do like most of these characters, it's just that they made the least impression on me compared to others in their sets.
Erika just feels like the least iconic in Gen1 to me? Misty and Brock are the original travelling companions, the twist with Giovanni being the last Gym Leader was mind-blowing back in the day, Blaine has a lot of personality that makes him really fun, and Surge, Koga, and Sabrina are all super-cool in their designs, personalities, and roles in the anime or manga, so I feel that just kinda leaves Erika.
Bugsy? I started with Cyndaquil. Nuff said. (You would probably think Whitney or Clair, but I have a soft spot for Whitney since an old, deceased friend of mine used to RP her, and Clair has that fun rivalry with Lance, so I can overlook them kinda being sore losers.)
Specifically Gen3 Wallace. I have a grudge over getting stuck really bad on his Gym. I think I just gave up and just explored Hoenn for a bit getting my starter to Lv100, and finally solved it months later?
Roark. Again, he just doesn't leave much of an impression compared to the others. I like him fine, but the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders just feel like they have more personality. (Especially his dad in the anime, but that's totally the Dan Green energy.)
I just never vibed with Clay. I don't dislike him, but I don't really like him much either. I did like the scene where he knows Ghetsis is talking complete bullshit tho underneath all his "purty talk."
Weirdly a tough pick, but Ramos. Can't go with Clemont because he was a travelling buddy, I totally shipped Viola and Grant in the anime, Korrina is pretty iconic since she's our introduction to Mega Evolution, Valerie has one of the best character designs in the series, Olympia has one of the coolest Gyms in the series (and honestly, I think they have yet to top hers), and I think Wulfric has a cool design and I like that he helps take care of the abandoned Pokémon in the Pokémon Village. So that really just leaves Ramos.
A testament to how good Alola and Galar were with their Gym Leaders/equivalents of the Trial Captains is that I had a lot of difficulty choosing. I do really like Mina and Gordie still, like it really was tough. It probably would have been Sophocles, but he kinda befriends Cyrus in Masters and it's pretty cute, so Mina was just kinda the default after that, and I was debating between Milo and Gordie, but I just kinda like Milo more with his personality. (I also really don't like Circhester Gym. I have vision issues and a Switch Lite so no vibration, so that place was a little rough for me. 😅)
It was between Katy and Tulip, but Tulip at least has more characterization in how she knows Dendra, so Katy. (I feel the Paldean Gym Leaders had pretty solid characterization too.)

Fixing Kalos gym leaders & elite 4
It's no secret that Pokemon X and Y are very easy games and part of the reason is that the bosses are pretty underwhelming. So as a thought experiment, I decided to examine how to power them up my upgrading their teams. I think that the gym leaders should showcase the new Pokemon and gimmicks of their region, so I'll be taking that into account. I also want all the leavers and E4 to have a proper 6-member postgame rematch team so I'll be doing those too. I will be restricting my choices of Pokemon to those available in X and Y.
First is Viola, the bug-type leader. 2 Pokemon is a good team size for a first gym leader as they're the introduction to gyms for new players. I think Viola's team is alright for a first gym. Surskit prevents you from sweeping with a fire-type (possibly the first and only time in the franchise a Surskit has been useful) and Vivillon to showcase the regional bug is good. If you want to upgrade her, swapping Surskit for Dwebble would serve the same purpose, but arguably be better at it. It could also have a ground-type move to keep players from sweeping with Pikachu. For her rematch team she can keep Vivillon, but will not be keeping Masquerain as two mediocre bug-flying types is not great for a rematch team. Her rematch team will be Vivillon, Crustle (who can set up stealth rocks to counter flying types), Escavalier (as a good bug/steel type who gets overshadowed by Scizor), Heracross, Scolipede, and Mega Pinsir. By the postgame, all the rematch teams can safely have a mega-evolving ace.
Next is Grant, the rock-type leader. His team is really cool with it being the two Kalos fossils. Two members is a bit weak given how long you have to play to get to his gym, so he'll get a third member. In keeping with the fossil theme, this third Pokemon will be Aerodactyl, who is also available to players by this point in the game. His postgame team will be Auroros, Tyrantrum, Aggron, Barbaracle (to counter ground-types), Tyranitar, and Mega Aerodactyl.
The third gym leader is Korrina the fighting-type leader. Her in-game team is notorious for being sweepable by any ghost type as only her Machoke has a move that isn't either normal or fighting type. That needs to change. Her Hawlucha can stay, but I'm swapping her Machoke out for a Pangoro to counter ghosts and to showcase a gen VI fighting-type. Her ace will be a mega-evolving Lucario. This fits with the story as Korrina is the one who introduces the player to mega evolution and streamlines the game by having her show mega evolution to you in her gym battle instead of a separate battle that is incredibly easy to win. Her rematch team will be Hawlucha, Pangoro, Toxicroak, No Guard Machoke, Pure Power Medicham, and Mega Lucario.
Next is Ramos, the grass-type leader. At this point I'm going to ignore the fact that X and Y only let gym leaders have 3 Pokemon. By this point in the game, players can handle more of a challenge. I'm going to evolve his Weepinell to Victreebel and have it act as a poison spikes and leech seed setter. Then he'll have Trevenant, Ludicolo (to counter fire-types), and his ace will be Mega Venusaur. His rematch team will be Victreebel, Ferrothorn, Ludicolo, Rotom Mow, Chesnaught, and Mega Venusaur.
Clemont, the electric-type leader is next. I think his canon team isn't that bad. I'll keep Magneton and Heliolisk, swap his Emolga for a Lanturn, and his ace will be Mega Ampharos. For his rematch team he will have Magnezone, Heliolisk, Lanturn, a Rotom that will change type randomly each rematch, Jolteon, and Mega Ampharos.
Valarie was pretty lame for being the gym leader to showcase the brand-new fairy type. Let's fix that. She can keep Mr. Mime and lead with it to set up screens. She can also keep Sylveon as it was the face of the fairy type. Then she'll have Florges and her ace will be Mega Mawile. Her rematch team will be Mr. Mime, Sylveon, Florges, Huge Power Azumarill, Klefki, and Mega Mawile.
The Psychic-type leader Olymoia has a really cool gym design, but she's no Sabrina in terms of difficulty. She can keep her Sigilyph, but the rest of her team will change. She will have Contrary Malamar, Alakazam, and Mega Medicham. Her rematch team will be Contrary Malamar, Gardevoir, Alakazam, Starmie, Sigilyph, and Mega Medicham.
Ice as a late-game gym leader tye is always a hard sell and Wulfric is no Candice. I'm going to increase his team to five and give him Cloyster, Mamoswine, Weavile, Avalugg, and mega Abomasnow. His rematch team will add Jynx to that lineup.
The elite four will all have their teams increase to five members and will all get a mega evolution for their ace.
Malva's team is not bad, but it could be better. She can keep her Torkoal and have it use Sunny day for setup (Torkaol didn't get Drought as an ability yet) and she can keep her Chandelure and get Gale Wings on her Talonflame. Her team will then include Rotom heat and Mega Charizard X. Her rematch team will add a Delphox to all that.
Siebold is probably the only really challenging member of the Kalos E4. I also really like the theme of edible animals in his team and want to keep that around, so the only change I'll make is adding a Mega Blastoise as his ace for a final team of Clawitzer, Starmia, Barbaracle, Gyarados, and Blastoise. His rematch team will then get a Greninja.
Wikstrom's team is also pretty good. I'll swap his Probopass out for a Bisharp and give him Mega Aggron. I will swap his Aegislash for Magnezone as I'm going to use Aegislash later and don't want to double-up for the E4. His final team is Klefki, Bisharp, Scizor, Magnezone, and Aggron. His rematch team will give him back Aegislash.
Drasna's team doesn't need much work either. I'll swap her Altaria for a Kingdra and Druddigon for Haxorus, Keep Dragalge and Noivern, and give her Mega Garchomp as an ace. Her rematch team will add Salamence.
Diantha was infamous as one of the weaker champions until Geeta came along. I do like that most of her team are new Pokemon and will keep that in mind. Her Mega Gardevoir ace can stay, as can Goodra and Hawlucha. From there I'll add Contrary Malamar and Aegislash. As for her 6th team member, I might cheat a bit and give her Zygarde 10% form. The Zygarde 10 and 100% forms didn't debut in the games until gen VII, but their appearance in the anime showed that they were already planned out and likely would have showed up in the cancelled Pokemon Z. This could be the player's first introduction to Zygarge and could lead into a postgame sidequest to get Zygarge 50% with Diantha's help. If you don't want to use Zygarde 10%, then Greninja would also work.
Let me know what you thought of these revised teams. I may also do this for some other generations (I have thoughts about a revised Geeta team)

Got the entire Kalos Gym Leader lineup in Pokémon Masters!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don’t really use them in the game much except for Korrina and Valerie. But they do all look very cool.
I just got Olympia’s sync pair, and she slays so hard. Pokémon XY really said we’re gonna make all the ladies in the game have the best style game and I am here for it.

Some headcanons about (mostly) Gym Leaders
• Iono annoys the other Paldea Gym Leaders (apart from Kofu), especially Larry and Grusha
• Kofu loves to give others hugs, but doesn’t seem to know how tight the other person/people can manage and tends to hug them too tight. His student Katy is the most common receiver of these Bewear-like hugs
• Others tend to describe Grusha’s attitude as “pessimistic” but he insists that his attitude is “realistic”. Ryme often worries about Grusha’s sour attitude making others pessimistic. It’s likely that Grusha’s attitude is a common cause of challengers dropping out of the league challenge
• You know that scene in Little Witch Academia where Akko calls Diana her rival and Diana responds with something along the lines of “I never once considered you my rival, Akko”? This quote is basically a large part of Ryme and Grusha’s dynamic, with Ryme being Akko and Grusha being Diana
• Given Kalos and Paldea border each other (this was written before DLC was confirmed in case this statement ages badly) and over half of the Paldea Gym Leaders share a type with a Kalos Gym Leader (Viola and Katy, Ramos and Brassius, Clemont and Iono, Olympia and Tulip, Wulfric and Grusha), I want to go over the dynamics in those pairs (genuinely when I started to write this paragraph I thought only four types were shared but I think I very briefly forgot about Olympia and Tulip). Viola and Katy idolise each other and Katy really wants Viola to be the one to advertise her bakery, Ramos and Brassius occasionally get together so Ramos can give Brassius more Sunflora because of how popular they are in Artazon, Clemont and Iono don’t talk much because Clemont finds it very awkward to talk to someone that hyper (despite Bonnie also getting overexcited easily) and Iono tends to find it easier to talk to Korrina and Valerie, Tulip admires Olympia but like with everyone she wants to make her even more beautiful and Olympia knows this (sometimes she will dress up in something more beautiful when she realises she’s about to see Tulip, just to out-beauty her), Wulfric respects Grusha’s skills and bonds with Pokémon but like Ryme doesn’t like Grusha’s attitude
• Bonus: Clavell’s voice is similar to (if not the same as) Wesley’s from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel (this is the kind of headcanon you can make when there are no voice actors)

Y'know, Ramos may look like a frail old guy, but he must be pretty fit to climb all the way to the top of his Gym. 4th badge earned!
Also, playing thru the game back in 2013 for the first time, words do not express the feeling of dismay when this guy called us over the Holocaster 😅

I think Pokemas deserves praise for Ramos' casting in particular because his voice is ingrained (hah) in my head now.
Now if only they actually credited their voice actors.
