Pokémonday suggestions 70 (06-10-2024)
Added 2024-06-10 14:00:07 +0000 UTC
Welcome to the sixty-ninth Pokémonday suggestions post! Today, I'm gathering ideas for...
...the remaining three Gym Leaders!
Okay, so this is a bit of a weird one, but I have to combine prompts into one poll because of time restraints. The towns that don't have Gym Leaders yet are these ones:
You can submit an idea for all three towns. If you want to add an idea for an ace Pokémon, that's fine too. Please mention the town your Gym Leader idea belongs to in your comments (the poison town, the mountain town, the ice town)! Next week, I'll allow multiple choices in the poll, so you can pick your favorite idea for all three towns. The three most-voted ideas will get made. I might open this one up to all Patrons (not just $3 and up) so we can get some more votes than usual.
Seems like Poison, Flying and Ice to me, but if you're feeling creative, the types you can still choose from are: Normal, Fire, Flying, Grass, Poison, Electric, Ground, Psychic, Rock, Ice, Bug, Dragon, Dark.
In the northwest, the caves are a natural paradise to poison types, including the water that flows from the caves. The gym leader is a spelunker and poison type enthusiast who explores the vast tunnels behind the gym. Their ace is a poison/dark type based on a waterbear.
The tallest peak in central Tabula gives the best views in the whole region. The gym leader especially loves the view with their flying type Pokémon. They are a designer and inventor with their ace being a flying/steel type based off of DaVinci’s ornithopter flying machine.
The icy region of northern Tabula is chilly during the day and brutal at night. The villagers use their fire type Pokémon and geothermal energy to keep themselves cozy, even if the town is a bit touristy now. The gym leader is a tour guide who uses their ace based off of an Icelandic sheep to tell stories of the area to the people who visit the town.

As long as 2 of them are female and 1 male. For the sake of gender equity.

Only idea I have is a Bug Type gym leader who’s actually scared of bugs. Maybe they’re a therapist who helps trainers with the same fear through their gym?

A mad scientist for the poison town will be so fitting considering mons like Orchemist and Borobrattle (even tho its not a poison type we can make it sit on the shoulder and stuff,it would be cool).For the design, I think we need even more Legend of Zelda rep. considering who is the protag. so a Purah inspired gym leader would be nice. Robbie is there too but making mad scientist a teen girl would be a nice change. Speaking of age, making her a teen would be my choice considering we dont have a young gym leader yet.
I am thinking a wheelchair-user for the flying gym. He had an accident during a race and now have to use a wheelchair. But he still has spirit and decorates his wheelchair with racing stickers and wings. If you feel spicy you can even make the wheelchair a propeller-chair,that would make it more "flying"
For the snowy gym I thought a retired santa,kinda depressed,wearing sandals and a singlet with food stains ( I am pretty sure Santa has resistance against cold,I mean he has a pretty THICK FAT) and stuff. That's also a good opportunity to make a delibird evolution/form

Firstly, for the poison bog area. A Poison Type gym is too perfect to pass up. The gym leader should be a former member of Team Legend. I feel Orchemist would be perfect for their Ace Pokémon.
Next, for the mountain top town I think a Psychic Type gym would work nicely. The leader could also serve as a priest in the large church-like building. As for their reason for being on a mountain? I dunno, maybe to be closer to Arceus/The region’s legendaries?
Now for the final snow area, I agree with Ice Type as well. I think it would be a fun callback if the gym leader was not only a king who looks like the king of Hyrule, but also Isolde’s father. So an Ice Type King.

The poison town should have CEO type gym leader who owns a company that cleans the sludge that pours into town every once in a while, and while he seems extremely shady, he is actually very kind. His ace can be some kind of dog, cat or any other kind of animal that feeds on sludge.
The flying town should have a super-hero like gym leader that mainly does stunts, and their ace can be like a super-hero too.
I think the ice town should have a gym leader duo (kinda like Tate and Liza in Mossdeep city); one uses ice and the other uses fire. Their aces can be similar to each other in appearance, but one is ice and the other is fire.

For the poison town a Nurse Joy who uses poison to make medicine.
For the ice town a veteran cop who protects the town with his Fire-types
For the mountain town a Bug-type using pilot who uses his pokemon’s silk to make parachutes and the like.

For the icy area, a rock gym leader who is sort of like a grisled old man who runs a cute bakery. His ace is a rock/fire cookie line

How about a flying-type skateboarder for the mountain? That blue part just Screams skate park to me

What if for the snowy town leader they were an Inuit inspired leader like water benders from Avatar? They could even be a water type gym leader

Hoo boy.
1) For the ice town, I was thinking of a female hiker/explorer with an arctic wolf spider Pokemon (ice/bug) as her ace.
2)For the mountain town, I was thinking of a flying type gym leader who wears a pair of wings (similar to Icarus). For the ace Pokemon, a harpy Pokemon would be a neat idea. (Maybe Flying/Psychic)
3) This is my favorite. For the Poison town, for some reason it gave me Bloodborne vibes, and that’s where I got my idea. A gym leader who’s a student who has a very striking resemblance to The Doll.
As for her Pokemon, it would be a sick idea to have it be a wolf with antlers. (Dark/Poison)

For the poison town, I suggest an eeevil mad scientist who’s either a Poison or Psychic-type Gym Leader and has a weird homunculus Pokémon that they made in a lab as their ace.
For the mountain town, I suggest a zookeeper that runs a zoo in that flat area behind the mountain who’s either an Electric or Normal-type Gym Leader and has a cheetah Pokémon as their ace.
For the snowy town, I’d like to re-submit my idea for a superhero who’s a Flying or Dragon-type Gym Leader. But in this town they use that cave as their own version of the Fortress of Solitude, and their ace could either be an alien dragon, like Lockheed or a psychic falcon like Redwing (both from Marvel.)

The one at the bottom of the mountain is a poison type gym leader but it's actually 3 trainers that's like the Doronbo gang from Yatterman or Team Rockets Jessie, James and Meowth. The leader is a pretty woman and the other 2 are her henchmen.
The mountain top one is the gym to flying types but with an Olympus theme to theme. So flying Pokemon with an extra element like lightning or fire.
The last one in the snow has 2 trainers, an old man and woman dressed in Red. They of course use ice Pokemon but it's a Christmas theme. So an evolution to Delibird would be good.

So ill be creative and the icy town will NOT be an ice type, but a fire type gym leader! As this is a really cold town, this gym leader is a miner that dug under the town and create a geothermal tunnels to heat the houses and the gym! People in town gathering inside the gym to get warm!

How about a poison type charon style ferryman, a flying type wingsuit skydiver and and an ice type curling player

The ice town having a dragon-type user that’s an isolated mountain man, hasn’t been in touch with civilization in years, and strongly believes in mythical creatures (Pokémon’s version of Bigfoot, Yeti, etc)

The Mountain Town having a Dark Type Gym Leader that acts as though he is an anti-hero from a comic similar to Batman as he watches over everyone.
Ace Pokemon would be a Dark/Flying Type that is a cross between a bat and a robin.
