A Correction

---

so my highly unscientific vibe check (in amongst these asks) of the B&W gym leaders wasn’t the wild stab in the dark I assumed it was; excepting the disservice I did to Brycen and Burgh. Here’s a quick remedy to that plus some asks below:

@geeneelee​ The ones with food names are triplets! And I think you’ve vibe checked most of them correctly more or less? There are a few misses, like the ice guy is kind of depressed and Burgh is a kind, flamboyant artist type. Not a smart ass, more a “fabulous darling yes more paint!!” kind of guy and I’m fond of him. Marlon had the distinction of being a jumbo who is my enemy. Also, Clay has nothing to do with them.

@penguinkiwi​ For the gym leaders adding onto what Geeneelee said; Brycen’s actually a pretty quiet dude in person though he is an actor so it would mostly depend on when the twins interacted with him ( on set vs off set ). As stated, Clay’s got nothing to do with the railway system, he’s actually a miner but theres probably common interest in tunnels and ground types (ie: Excadrill).

I honestly don’t know why the idea of the food boys being related didn’t occur to me - they’ve deffo got echoes of the eevee brothers from back in the day, just not as antagonistic.  Brycen’s super dynamic posing and sprites totally threw me; (plus that pic of him with the beartic honestly just made me laugh) The idea that he goes all in with his acting but is actually quite retiring in person is adorable.

Clay was definitely the owner of something; that cowboy hat is too conspicuous otherwise, but it was a swing and a miss on my part.

@quietlywatchingwritingreading​ asked: your takes: Burrggh: he's the bug trainer guy, and emmet and ingo both actually raise a lot of bugs. (emmet often gets tied with Joltik). he's also the painter, so yeah there could be some smugness. (His first gym was 'What if it was a beehive honeycomb filled with clowns'. His second gym was 'what if paint and giant spider eggs'.)

So you're not wrong but there's probably potential for Weird Bug Friend-rivals.

Clay has no ownership of the railroad but he is a gym leader so he might be in charge of public transit or some degree. (he's a fairly 'reasonable bootstraps leader' type character, and has a excadrill as his star. so he and ingo probably discuss their moles)

I think it goes hand in hand with the Satoshi Tajiri’s own passion for collecting bugs that so many of the bug type trainers are so enthusiastic about their bug friends. (looking at all those Bug catchers tryna check me with a caterpie) 

Like with Brycen, I think Burgh’s screenshots didn’t do him any justice - after all there’s a fine line between being serving theatrical and smug. But I should’ve known better; those trousers do scream flamboyant art teacher.

quietlywatchingwritingreading To be fair, there is also a implication that the gym leaders own the towns they're in. Drayden at least is canonically also the mayor, but he's the only town we know of with a mayor. So they all might technically have control over the Public Transportation Budget.

The idea that all the gym leaders have a vested interest in the railway is sending me. Settling pay disputes with pokémon battles. GOD if I could just throw a raticate at management instead of filing a grievance. Pikachu at the picket line WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY??

Anonymous asked: My favorite fact about Clay that was lost in translation is that he's specifically a japanese businessman who moved to the states and dresses like a cowboy, so him managing the railways in unova would be so much funnier

Suddenly Clay’s fashion choices are even funnier, of course it’s a cowboy cosplay; HE’S A MINER WHY WOULD HE NEED LEATHER CHAPS? Tho I was halfway there I guess, something in my brain took one look at him and said ‘Oil Baron’

@embretheworld​  asked: despite it being a guess, you got like pretty all of the personalities of the gym leaders spot on! the skyla part surprised me because she actually Does own a plane, she owns a whole airport. cilan, chili, and cress are actually triplets! they work at the same restaurant and in the anime cilan(cilantro?) knows the submas bros, trusts him with their train to some extent. clay's a miner and runs train tracks with carts but i think he owns a company but i don't know what it is. iris is the champion of the region in the second game at least and your like 100% right about her. in the anime cilan really like trains and since he knows the submas bros i like to think that when they were young/teens they probably helped train some of the younger gym leaders since there are a couple. but i think i rambled for too long its just fun to talk about the two and how i think they interact with other characters. hope this didn't bother you too much. have a good day/night!

I’m pretty blown away that it wasn’t just a complete whiff, especially Skyla - I was almost joking about the planes, but the more I thought about it the more I liked the idea of train/plane spotter solidarity.

I’ve pretty much got the image that the Submas bros just sort of sweep in and project their enthusiasms until they’ve collected a little band of equally passionate people who can meet their energy halfway regardless of the topics.

It’s a pretty interesting idea to think that the twins could probably easily be gym leaders in their own right; but rather they’ve waived that in order to follow their true passion of the Battle subway. Makes sense then that they might have had a hand in raising some of the current leaders given how stringent their challenge is.

A good night/day to all of yous too!

Best Pokémon Gym Leader Tournament-

Preliminary Round-

Unova Division: Match 1

Unova has a lot of contestants to get through so let's get started!

The generation 5 gym leaders were the first full set of gym leaders to have established jobs outside of their battling, and that served to distinguish themselves even more! Who could forget the dazzling Elesa, and her Volt Switching strategies? Roxie is the first gym the player encounters to have a unique gym theme, very fitting for a punk musician like herself! Brycen and Lenora may not have returned to battle as gym leaders in Black 2 and White 2, but both made an impact. Lenora follows the longstanding tradition of Normal type gym leaders being tough to beat for any trainer! And Brycen made a name for himself not just as a ninja, but as a star of the silver screen. Next we have Iris, not yet a champion, but a dragon taming prodigy nonetheless! She's our second competitor to be a future or former champion. Rounding us off is the Striaton Trio- Chili, Cilan, and Cress. Certainly one of the most unique gyms in the series, making every battle against them an uphill one!

Who do you want to see reresenting the most urban region?

Remember- the top two competitors will move on to round 1, not just the winner!

As the duo continued into the small town, they quickly found a group of humans talking amongst one another. “My lady! Here!” Tor whispered, pulling Reshi into the brush so as they could listen in.

“Are you sure this is what you saw Brycen?” an older gentleman asked, turning towards a tomed man clad in various hues of blue. The man spoke strongly. “I am. It was alight just a few days ago, mere hours after they left with their god. A search revealed nothing however.”

Reshi looked at the man curiously, before turning to Tornadus. Following his gaze, he seemed to be staring at the man as well. “Tor? Human catch your eye?” she asked.

“Perhaps.” He replied, flashing her a toothy grin. “They’re all talking about you.” Turning her attention back towards them, she listened intently.

“Perhaps it was nothing.”

“No, whatever it was, the goddess has returned. We just need to find where she is.”

“Actually…” The older man turned towards a younger human. “She needs to find her. N won the god’s favor by proving himself to him. Our young trainer needs to win the goddess’s favor now.”

Reshi watched as the teenager nodded towards the older man. She fixed her belt and cap, and stared up with a determined expression. “I won’t let you down. I swear it.” Something about her intrigued the goddess. If she was truly going to try and win her favor, then she would have to keep an eye on her.

The girl quickly released a pokemon from her own pokeballs, before flying off into the sky. The older duo continued to discuss amongst themselves as they retreated into the villiage further.

“We have to hope she is able to find her in time.”

“Lenora might be able to assist us. She would be the most well read on Unova’s history.”

“Perchance, though she knows more about the fossils rather than the society.”

“Perchance? You cannot just say that Alder.”

“Why not? It works well no?”

“No.”

Reshi watched for a moment longer, before rising to her feet.

“Let’s continue on Tornadus.”

“We should be careful My Lady. It might be wise to not show our true selves infront of the humans.”

She stopped for a moment to look over at him, a confused expression crossing her face. “Are you certain? It seemed like they were searching for me?” Her brows furrowed. “I haven’t walked among humanity before, what makes now different?”

“It will be far easier to discern someone’s true intentions when they don’t know who you are, rather than them playing to your interests.” She looked away, contemplating for but a moment. “That would-I understand…I suppose.”

Back on my bullshit with my crackships 😔👌 I have a lot of random and main ships that don't really add anything to the storyline, but shipping gives me serotonin, so they're here to stay 😭

Best, most iconic Gym Leaders, hands down.

I would also like to point out the quotes each of them have for you should you check your badge case:

They're all advice or encouragement... and then there's Burgh:

Brycen wakes up from a dead sleep with an embarrassingly undignified squawk and flailing of limbs, "Ah!"

I need everyone to know how much I love Brycen!!

He's literally so sweet!!!!🩵🩵🩵

[loumun-versen]

23. Booger Who came up with this idea of a prompt?? Who decided to restrain my monthly theme to Submas? ... Yeah okay, fine x) Thankfully, Cubchoo exists and I fancied the idea of making each gym leader of Unova meeting with the submas twins at least once over sketchtember and inktober xP

[yourfavepokemontype]

Can I have Brycen (pkmn black and white) as ice fighting? He IS the ice gym leader but he also can kick peoples butts if necessary

Brycen from Pokemon is an Ice/Fighting Type!
