> Gym leaders don't have monotype teams now

What is your opinion about it?

I've been wanting something like this for a while so I'd welcome it.

Though it would probably be a significantly more difficult challenge for people just getting into the games so I could see and completely understand why it would never happen.

Each gym now has a battle gimmick.

First gym is obsessed with having maximum coverage moves, almost every pokemon has hidden power.
Another gym has baton pass on almost every pokemon.
Another gym is a stall team.
Entry hazards and phasing.
Hyper offense team.
Another has risky moves like dynamic punch, stone edge, even gift.

Actually this doesn't work that well. It would be great for the elite four though.

This would actually be really cool. It would make gym battles more than just "spam super effective move to win" and provide more challenge. It would also make the gyms more memorable as "the zoo gym" and "The construction site gym" are easier to remember than Electric gym #7.

I think it would be fun. Help many people to know the reason for existence of many Pokemon, or, at least, to give them a meaning. Moreover, the battles maybe more difficult, not only a "Water gun against your three poorly leveled Geodude".

By the way, I'd love to see a ruin maniac leader with archaeological Pokemon. Each has a different typing but would be awesome see all of them in the same team. Not to mention a possible new Tiki Pokemon in SM.

I don't see anything interesting about themed teams. What you consider boring is subjective, the tradition of having monotype teams for gym leaders trumps your desire to have themed teams for whatever reason.

It'd be interesting if they did it right and added battle gimmicks like >>26791058 said but with gamefreak trying to appeal to children and thinking that they have to go above and beyond to appeal to people with low attention spans, we won't get it in an iteration that people here would want it, i.e. that the gym leaders and the yo champ guy would have to explain it all to you rather than let the player figure it out on their own.

IMO, Gym Leaders being masters is all the more reason for them to use hard counters against their type's weaknesses. You'd think Brock knowing more about Rock-types means he can see his team would be BTFO by Squirtle/Bulbasaur.

Gyms base on egg groups. Besides undiscovered and ditto, there are 13 groups, which is just enough for 8 gyms + e4 + champ. Each gym is still thematically consistent, with many being close to monotype, but there is still room for more variety.
