Do you think the main game's Gym Leaders and Elite 4 will ever have decent teams like they did in Platinum?
Or do you think we'll be stuck with Gen 5 tier teams forever?

Unless they bring back alternate difficulty modes, no.

I'm convinced the only reason why ORAS let Gym Leaders even use more than 3 mons was because it was a remake of a pre-Gen 5 game.

>this is what a 7th ice type gym looks like
JUST...

Thanks for reminding me how shit BW was, not to forget Drayden amd the ebin Dragon Dance + Dragon Tail meme combo. Basically BW only competent gym leaders were the first 5 ones.

Glad they dumped Brycen in BW2, he was embarassing as much as Wulfric and his 3 defensive Ice maymays.

Amazing how her team is still better and can also deal with Steel and Fighting types. Also shows how Maylene and Candice have a link, just as re-proposed in Platinum. Same for Volkner and Flint.

DP Aaron was plain trash for an E4 tho.

The point is that gyms got worse, which they did after Platinum
Plus Candice's Diamond and Pearl team is still better than Brycen's team

I wish the boss trainers weren't conformed to a specific type, and had some variation like D/P.

The only reason the teams were "varied" in DP is because the dex sucked shit and couldnt properly cover some types

I do agree that D/P's dex was complete garbage, but I wish the type variation trend somewhat carried over.

They hang out a lot as friends in Platinum, the Villa dialogues show they are best friends.

They are type specialists, don't be that adamant about gym leader = monotype, Medicham knew Ice Punch for example, this has been done in Hoenn too with Meditite and Kecleon.

I did not mind the shitty dex but what made me mad was the inability to use stuff like Froslass, Magmortar, and Tangrowth due to the base forms being missing (plat fixed this but the damage was done.) Also the speed.

Never ever. Gen 5 was the beginning of the end and Gen 6 is the middle of the end. By Gen 7—the end of the end—gym battles will be reminiscent of the early Kanto anime gym battles.

What type or better yet dual/type has the most weaknesses, I'm thinking ground/rock.

He's probably pointing out Blaine using Ponyta and Growlithe as the seventh gym leader instead of stuff like Ninetales, Magmar or Charizard.

We're never getting Sinnoh tier complexity and difficulty ever again. According to Gamefreak, too many kids couldn't handle it which is what led to Gen 5 being so linear and easy.
