Who's the most forgettable gym leader?
>>
I forget.
>>
>>25642545
Byron.
>>
Every gym leader from gen iv on
>>
>>25642545
Ramos
>>
Of those 8? Pryce. I had to look up his name
>>
>>25642545
Any of the Kalos ones that aren't Valerie, Olympia or Korrina. (Valerie because she's the first one to specialize in fairy, also because of her bug eyes. Olympia because of her wild design and because everyone keeps bringing her up as an irrelevant and forgettable gym leader. And Korrina because of her mega-Lucario and how it was forced into the plot).
>>
>>25642602

nah, in general, I just picked that at random from my folder.

>>25642611

If you asked me to name the Kalos gym leaders, I remember Grant, Ramos, Olympia, Valerie, Korrina, Clemont, but I can't remember the name of the ice type gym leader, or anything about the last one.
>>
>>25642592

Viola and Wulfric. Viola was the sister of a reoccurring character too, yet she's almost always forgotten about
>>
>>25642594
Who?

>>25642592
I'm not one to fight gen wars, but I have to admit while I have every gym leader from gens 1 to 3 memorized, I have strain to remember gen 4 and can barely remember 5 or 6. I could probably name them if shown a picture but if I had to come up with all of them and what order they're in, I'd definitely mess it up.
>>
>>25642545
Gen 4. All of it.
>>
>>25643070
That could be less an issue of the gym leaders being forgettable (at least in gen IV and V's case) and more the fact that you might not have invested as much time in those gens or rushed through them? Gen V in particular spent the most amount of time actually characterizing their gym leaders by giving them shit to do outside of being a gym leader, and gen IV had them visit your mansion and hang out with each other. Hell, Kanto and Johto's gym leaders were completely irrelevant until HGSS also let them hang out with each outside of their gyms and had you look for them for rematches. I'll give you Kalos though
>>
>>25643070
>>25642592
I'm the same but that could be the result of those games being around for fewer years and playing them fewer times. I can't count how many times I've been through Kanto but I've only been through Kalos once.
>>
>>25643112
No it's because all those gym leaders were easy as fuck to beat and not worth remembering any more than random pokemon trainers
>>
>>25643112
>>25643113
>>25643070

Yeah, I could rattle off Gen 3 or 4's gym leaders, and I can't be assed to remember anyone from gen 5 except for Elsa because she's hot, but that's probably because I've only done two playthroughs of white and one of black 2. I've done a ton more of platinum and emerald.
>>
>>25643144
Gen 5's leaders are the only ones that actually put up a fight.
>>
>>25643144
Well, in that case, I can kind of understand why you'd forget them, but I always loved the Unova gym leaders for their personalities. It seems strange to call them forgettable when they are by far the best-characterized gym leaders in the entire franchise (barring Giovanni and Blue)
>>
>>25643144
Kanto gym leaders were the easiest other than Kalos.
>>
>>25643186
The only Unova gym leader I remember is the black milf and I couldn't even tell you her name
>>
Most of Sinnoh and the latter halves of Johto and Kalos.
>>
>>25643214
>Not remembering Cheren, your rival from the first game
>Not remembering Elesa, for GIVE ME WHAT I NEEEEED

I just feel sorry for you
>>
>>25643243
The story of gen V was shit so I didn't really read it after a while and just mashed a through every bit of dialogue without paying attention

Hopefully sun and moon are less on rails than the last couple of generations
>>
>>25643214
>>25643243
>not remembering Roxie, the punker poison type chick.
>not remembering the fabulously camp Burgh
>not remembering the Trump-but-actually-cool-clone Clay
>not remembering Skyla, the lesbian pilot who wears next to nothing.

The only Unova leader I'll give you is Brycen.
>>
>>25643293
I can't forget Clay because of Driftveil City's theme.
>>
>>25643293
I liked Brycen, he was cool in pokestar studios. Chilli, Cilan and Cress were also unique in being the first gyms that actually depended on what your starter was.

That ass

I'll try to name them all:

1- Brock, Misty, Surge, Erika, Sabrina, Koga, Janine, Blaine, Giovanni

2- Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, Morty, Jasmine, Chuck, Pryce, Claire

3- Roxanne, Brawley, Wattson, Flannery, Norman, Winona, Tate and Liza, Wallace, Juan

4- Roark, Gardenia, Maylene, Fantina, Crasher Wake, Byron, Candice, Volkner

5- Chili, Cress, Cilan, Lenora, Cheren, Roxie, Burgh, Brycen, Elesa, Skyla, Clay, Drayden, Iris. Forgot the water guts name.

6. Viola, Grant, Ramos, Clemont, Valerie, Korrina, Olympia, Wulfric.

I can name all but the water guy from Gen 5, but Gen 6 was pretty hard, so I'd say all the Gen 6 leaders.
>>
>>25643267
Anon, I hate to break it to you, but you're probably autistic.

Get some meds, man.
>>
>>25643666
I actually read books as a hobby as well as playing pokemon so a shit tier story with generic one dimensional characters isn't really something I'm interested in

I come for the gameplay not the "story"
>>
>>25643031
>Viking bara is forgettable
tumblr will prove you wrong
>>
>>25643154
BW: Cilan/Chile/Cress, Lenora, Burgh, Elesa, Clay, Skyla, Bryce, Drayden/Iris
BW2: Cheren, Roxie, Burgh, Elesa, Clay, Skyla, Drayden, Marlon

This is from memory so I might have mixed up Skyla and Bryce in BW
>>
>>25642545
winona
>>
>>25643877
But she has a helmet and a cunt skarmory
>>
>>25643740
>i come for the gameplay
>in fucking pokemon

Wrong answer, bud. If you play for any reason other than the monster designs, you're cheating yourself out of much more rewarding games.

That said, not reading dialogue in any game, even ones with horrendous stories, betrays some level of ADD.
>>
>>25642545
Everyone in Kalos except for Korrina
>>
>>25643395
forgot blue in gen 1. i assume he belongs since you listed janine
>>
Everything from Gen VI
>>
>>25643900
Just watch the anime retard
>>
For some reason, for me it's gen 2 and gen 6 gym leaders
Don't remember any of their names or even their faces unless I see a picture
>>
I remember almost all of them. I just can't name them because I'm absolutely terrible with names. But if you show me a picture of them I can tell you what type their gym is and all that.
>>
1. Brock, Misty, Surge, Erika, Koga, Sabrina, Blaine, Giovanni, Janine, Blue
2. Falkner, ..., Whitney, ... ... ... ... Claire
3. Roxanne, Brawley, Watson, Flannery, Norman, Winona, Tate & Liza, Wallace/Juan
4. Fantina, Crasher Wake, Volkner
5. Elesa, Cheren, Iris
6. Valerie

I gotta say that this is an unfair thing, seeing as I've beat Yellow very recently, and Hoenn is my fave region.
>>
I only remember gen 1 names...
And some gen2.
>>
>>25642545
most gen 4 gym leaders
>>
>>25642545
The rock gym leader in Sinnoh, I forget his name, sometimes I remind myself that he exists.
>>
>>25646365
His name is Silver.
>>
>>25642545
For me, lets see.

Gen 1: Brock, Misty, Surge, Erika, Koga, Sabrina, Blaine, Giovanni
Gen 2: Falkner, Whitney, Morty, Jasmine, Clair, Janine, Blue/Green
Gen 3: Watson, Flannery, Norman, Tate & Liza, Wallace
Gen 4: Gardenia, Volkner, Clint?
Gen 5: Elesa, Skyla, Iris
Gen 6: Bugsy?

I know all of them by looks, but I couldn't tell you half of their names anymore honestly.
>>
>>25642545

Brock, Misty, Surge, Erika, Koga, Sabrina, Blaine, Giovanni

Faulkner, Bugsy, Whitney, Morty, Jasmine, Chuck, nope, Claire.

Roxanne, Brawly, Watson, Norman, Flannery, Winona, Tate/Liza, Wallace/Juan

Kek, nope, Crasher Wake, Grant?, Fantina, Volkner, who, nah.

Cheren/Trio of flamboyant gays, Black MILF, Elesa, Glove Sora, Gay Iceboy, Gay Cowboy, Bugsy 2.0?, Iris.

>>
>>25647269
I mistyped Valerie, 2 Ramos lmao
>>
>>25642545
Trying to name them from memory made me realize how few I know.
G1 Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, Erika, Sabrina, Koga, Blaine, Giovanni, (I had to take a moment to remember Surge)
D2 Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, Morty, Chuck, Jasmine, Pryce, Clair, G1 gym leaders with koga replaced by his daughter or something who I don't remember and Giovanni replaced by Blue
G3: Wattson, Flannery, Norman, Tate&Liza, and Wallace or Juan
G4: Roark & Marlene? Marlane? idk G4s Korrina
G5: Chili,Cilan & Cress & Iris
G6: Viola, Grant, Korrina, Some old gardener, Clement, Alien Chick, Olympia, Wulfric

Forgettable: Surge, Chuck, Half of Gen 3, Most of Gen 4, All of Gen 5 and Ramos
>>
Kanto: Brock, Misty, Guile lookalike, Koga/Janine, Blaine, Giovanni/Gary

Johto: Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, Morty *hic*, Chuck, Jasmine, Pryce, Clair

Hoenn: Roxanne, He has blue hair, Wattson, Flannery, Norman, Tate and Liza, Wallace/Juan

Sinnoh: Roark, Gardenia, Crasher Motherfucking Wake, Fantina, Brian?, Candice, Oh god what's his name

Unova: Cheren/The Triplets, Oprah/Roxie, Burgh, Elesa, Skyla, Clay, Brycen, Drayden/Iris/Marlon

Kalos: Viola?, ?, ?, ?, Clemont, Valeria, ?, ?
>>
Trying to go from memory:
Gen I: Brock, Misty, Blaine, Lt. Surge, Giovanni
Gen II: Whitney, Jasmine I think?, Koga maybe? I haven't played G/S since they came out and I didn't get HG/SS
Gen III: Roxanne, Brawly, Wattson, Flannery, Norman, Tate and Liza
Gen IV: Fantina, Crasher Wake, Maylene
Gen V: Burgh, and that mammy stereotype whose name I forget
Gen VI: Korrina, but remembered out of hate. No one else.

I'm not much of a fan of the gym leaders. I'm more about catching 'em all.
>>
Anyone who doesn't say "Janine" is a Janinefag in denial about their forgettable generic ninja waifu.
>>
>>25643070
I barely played Gen IV but the anime is the main reason why I remember its Gym Leaders. Dan Green as Byron was perfect casting
>>
>>25642556
Underrated post.
>>
>>25647458
I can't forget Janine because:
>She's Koga's daughter. Only infrequently does Pokemon show family members with active roles.
>She replaces Koga in Kanto, which makes her more memorable. Up until like BW2, I don't think that's happened since GSC.
>>
>>25642545
G1: Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, Erica, Koga, Sabrina, Blaine, Giovanni.

G2: Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, Morty, Chuck, Jasmine, Pryce, Clair, Janine, Blue

G3: Roxanne, Brawly, Wattson, Flannery, Norman, Winona, Tate & Liza, Wallace, Juan

G4: Roark, Gardenia, Fantina, Maylene, Crasher Wake, Byron, Candice, Volkner

G5: Cilan & Cress & Chilli, Lenora, Burgh, Elesa, Clay, Skyla, Brycen, Drayden & Iris, Cheren, Roxie, Marlon

G6: Viola, rock climbing man, Korrina, Ramos, Clemont, Valerie, Olympia, Wulfric

Colloseum bonus round: Pre-gym leader Justy

I'd say rock climbing dude was the most forgettable.
>>
I'm starting to guess that if one stopped watching the anime or playing the games at a certain point, then of course the Gen they didn't invest that much time in is going to be forgettable. If not that then too many overlapping type specialists with similar teams.
>>
>>25643395
To be fair, Marlon's probably the absolute worst 8th Gym Leader in the series next to Wulfric

But Wulfric had the unfortunate excuse of being a Kalos Gym Leader. Marlon was just a disappointment all around
