>>21858380The Leader of the Nickel City Gym is Blandy, the Atypical Normal-type Trainer.
Nobody gave him the memo that Clefairy isn't a Normal-type anymore, but maybe that's where the "atypical" comes from. He comes off as completely disinterested and his team is actually lower in level that of the one trainer in his Gym.
He uses Clefairy/Porygon/Spearow and is no trouble. After I beat him I get the Regularbadge and a TM for Swift.
He up and quits after that. Apparently there's someone more qualified named Norm, but he didn't get the position because he's "weird." I had to go get him, and he is weird; he's terrified of wild Pokémon so I had to bring him a Repel. I'm told afterward that Norm will soon take over for Blandy as leader; I wonder if I'll get to fight Norm since I already have the badge.
>>21858109I actually don't wish that; it was pretty annoying in Life of Guardians and Skyline to have sun/rain last forever (the former coded in intentionally at one point in the game, the latter via a script that randomizes it).
I'd rather have areas with set weather, like how Route 120 in Hoenn is always rainy.
