It bugs me how Larry's all "I use normal types because they're plain and boring like me" because buddy. Normal types don't screw around.
Norman's gym battle was terrifying for me, even though my strongest Pokémon was a Blaziken-- aka, I had a type advantage, but my entire team was nearly taken out. I still fear Ilima's Smeargle because that was one of the only battles I ever lost in S/M/US/UM (though I still fear Totem Lurantis more). I see so much trauma from Whitney's Miltank. And Larry himself has defeated my little siblings multiple times, while I definitely struggled against him.
Being a Normal Type Pokemon means access to generally well-rounded stats and incredibly diverse movesets. Like, a water type can learn water type moves, but Furret can learn Surf, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Shadow Ball. I wouldn't call that very plain or boring.
Not to mention that god is a normal type.
Normal Types and Normal Type users are plain frightening.

Every time I see this, I keep thinking how cool it would have been if the anime had an arc where all the Johto Gym Leaders teamed up

This is the second of a small daily poll series during my break.
I'll ask the fave gym leaders of each region, and at the end put them all in a poll against eachother!
