I've had an idea. Why don't we create our own set of gym leaders of /vp/? For the entire board of /vp/ we will obviously have 8 badges total. Each badge will have a tournament and the winner becomes king. and then takes over said badge. Only difference with this is that each Gym Leader does not reveal what type they wield so all players try to figure it out. And the way we would organize such an event to have a chance at the Gym Leaders of /vp/ would be at 3-month intervals. It would be a six-way Pokemon battle. And definitely no Legendaries. And It would be interesting if this somehow branches off to other boards as well. /v/ vs. /vp/ or something. or /a/ against /b/. Almost like a sports team in a way, only more competitive. And it would be fucking cool if there's a few artists out on /vp/ lurking around hopefully make original badge designs.

It'd be somewhat strange for the competitors to not reveal what types their teams were. Gym types should be predetermined, and teams should be up-front and publicly known for quality assurance. We clearly need a Dark gym, to start.

Nobody would put this much effort in to organising it.>but i would! People wouldn't use the type their gym is meant to have because we can't see them beforehand.>i would check for us People would just use weather teams and constantly win.>it'll be fun! The gym leaders would only battle a mandatory challenger for the sake of not relinquishing their title. Just like the Klitschko's . tl;dr There's nothing to gain from it.

A Rock type gym. With only Geodudes.

It's ok to know what type of gym leader they are if they're playing in-game NPC's but if the player fighting against a real gym leader and they know it's fire type, that said player would just get water types and anhilate him. See the unfairness? So by hiding their weaknesses it would actually make the game more in luck and wits and to just work with what you got.

Gym leaders should also have one TM common with their Pokemon types, just like the game Gym Leaders.

Design-wise or name-wise anyways. Or you could make a badge that throws people off and makes them think it's an entirely different type.
