So what do you think of the new electric type gym leader we got

[Candyy]

In english they call her "Iono"
In spanish "Nigma"
Japanese ,another name v:

Has like magnemite on her blue and pink hair ,but is part of the hair, not magnemite v:

Has a too long jacket for her size and is a streamer gym leader from paldea region

She did not say who is her partner ,but that is up to us to guess

I don't hate her, I just think "you exist". and I don't feel strongly or negatively. It doesn't take long to get used to her unique "fashion".

Why anyone would pick not to be a fairy type gym leader I'll never understand because fairies are the lords and masters of all. Rivialed only by normal type, of which the creater of all is.

Well, fairy is just a young type v:

It will not have the same love as for other typing but at some point someone will find the love on the type

Which is kinda ironic becuase fairy for now is the best typing :v

>Well, Fairy is just a young type v:
In Generation II - the Generation which introduced Dark and Steel - there was not only a Steel-themed Gym Leader but a Dark-themed member of the Elite Four. Both in the games which introduced said types initially - Gold, Silver and Crystal.

If Game Freak has not yet introduced a Fairy-themed Gym Leader and to add insult to injury didn't consider doing so in the games which introduced the Fairy-type - X and Y - then I don't think it's beyond the pale to ask them why they're introducing yet another Electric-themed gym when that type is one of the go-to types for Gym Leaders to be themed around.

Granted, they've adopted a bit of a Bethesda mindset in that they seem keen on scrapping old systems and further streamlining the game instead of correcting errors that previous incarnations might've had with said systems. Doesn't help that they're also more inclined to making the game less complex and more basic.

But then again that seems to be the modus operandi of corporate game developers and publishers at this point - making everything as basic as possible as to appeal to the widest demographic. Never mind that by trying to appeal to everyone you inevitably appeal to no one.

Covetous money worshipers, I swear.

Hmm... I'm kinda out-of-touch with pokemon post gen 5 and how stuff turned the meta "upside down"... My only guess is that maybe fairies only made people run Flash Cannon more and more. Maybe they throw a Dialga occassionally to add insult. Or maybe Heatran for maximum overkill... Who knows?

No idea what a bethesda mindset is, first time I hear that word

Steel type moves are not rly that overused as coverage that much v:

Other weaknesses and other threats for said Pokémon also exist so it depends on the Pokémon

[Polverrati]

She's fine, she at least has a decent design. Hopefully she isn't a pushover, most electric gym leaders can be sweeped by a single ground type.

Kinda disappointed that we got an electric gym leader instead of an Elite Four member though. My favorite type never made it to the big leagues.

imo dark and bug type never have a reason to be in the elite 4. They're too weak a type.

Well, in gen 9 everyone can change types v:

Or just use grassy terrain v:

They aren't weak types, they're just types that don't work alone and need some strategy to get the most out of. The problem with the Elite Four is that they ONLY use one type aside from the champion, so a dark champion could work but a bug champion would just be weird.

Offensively both are bad (specially bug) v:

But defensively they are not that bad

I want ash to grow up, so we can get someone new. I'd rather a female trainer as the star of pokemon for a while. Like may or dawn or something.

[Alaskan Catfish Hike]

Wouldn’t look so bad if the design were more streamlined. Comes across too cartoony. Yea, I know it is a game/cartoon.

[Rio]

Like pokemon has had so many nice female trainers and gym leaders at this point.

Ash is soooo bland...

Give me a pokemon where the main character's pokemon is sylveon.

This could genuinely happen if Nintendo would make a third sequel to Colosseum already, those games have you start with Eeveelutions.
