What would you say to a generation where the gym leaders were actually more involved and fleshed out, and based on something other than specific types?
Maybe there could be a gym leader who only uses fossil Pokemon, one who only uses Pokemon found in caves, or one who only uses Pokemon you can catch with a fishing rod. Maybe even leaders that specialize in drain moves, status moves, fast attacks, defense, etc. regardless of type.
What do you think? It would be more interesting and break things up a little, but might require too much thought on the part of children.
