>What type or type of Pokemon do you specialize in?
Ice.
>Around what point in the game would you be?
Near or at the very beginning ideally. I'd actually want to be the Pokemon Professor, but if an Ice type gym straight off the bat would be too much for anyone who picks Grass starter, I could do what they do in Hoenn and tell the trainer to get 4 gym badges before challenging me or something. Then again, in Kanto, they had a Rock and Water gym (i.e. rapes Charmander) off the bat, so if they put Rock types or something near my Gym, mite b cool.
>What is the gimmick of your Gym?
The gym will be my lab, a comfy little sampling station at the top of a cool Alpine mountain. There'll be books lying around, a model skeleton or two, an exhibit, all that crap. Instead of trainers it'll be wild Pokemon, and all encounters (apart from the battle with me) will be avoidable. My assistant, maybe my ingame wife for extra comfy would welcome the player and ask them to do a little fieldwork for me. This "fieldwork" would be some puzzles I'd ask them to solve. One of them could test your general knowledge of the Pokemon franchise, giving long time players a little reward. For instance, I'd lend them a camera and ask them to take a photo of one of Castform's alternate forms, and leave them with three Pokeballs. Each of the Pokeballs has a little description (which would be my notes) beside them telling you about the Pokemon inside. Once you pick the correct Pokemon (say a Snover with Snow Warning), you have to take it all the way to the designated spot (there may or may not be random battles on the way) and when you're there, a cutscene will play where you take the photo. If you choose wrong, however, the Castform will get angry and battle you (and you won't be able to use my rental Pokemon to help).
