>>38620846It's fine, especially when they fit into the truths and ideals theme that exists in Gen 5. I like that the Gym Leaders and Elite Four all represent either truth or ideals.
Cilan, Cress, and Chili: The truth of being three parts of one whole, and not being a "complete" person individually
Lenora: The truth of recording and documenting history
Burgh: The ideal of the ultimate art
Elesa: The ideal of the most dazzling experience
Clay: The truth of human moneymaking
Skyla: The ideal of freedom by soaring into the sky
Brycen: The ideal of fantasy through acting
Roxie: The ideal of performing the best music
Marlon: The truth of fishing whatever is out there in the water
Drayden: The truth of the history of Unova
Iris: The ideal of communicating with Pokemon and living freely
Elite Four:
Shauntal: Pursues the truth by recording her experiences through literature
Grimsley: Pursues the truth by gambling and accepting the results as they are laid out in reality
Caitlin: Pursues the ideal of slumber and relaxation
Marshal: Pursues the ideal of strength, like Cheren
