>>40964011There are only two;
Ghost-Fighting
Ice-Rock
they basically fucked themselves over with the other six. Going through them;
> Grass, Water, FireStandard trio of types, unless they do it like Striaton Gym they wouldn't randomly sub one of the types out for another type between versions
> Fairy & DarkGym Leaders are important to Bede and Marnie respectively, also Dark-Type Gym Leader is the Team Yell Leader so it'd be like making Giovanni version exclusive
> DragonLast Gym there's no real reason for this one aside from that
I know that GF probably never intended to make the Gym variation a major point but I think it would've been cool if they finally capitalized on the BW sort of variation between versions, have one game be sort of like White where it's a more rural region where the towns and cities are more naturally developed rather than planned with big forests and natural landmarks like lakes and mountains dotting the landscape making navigation more or less completely wilderness for the player. The other version would be like Black where the region is technologically more sophisticated with skyscraper cities and industrial factories across the region, where were Mountains in the other version are quarries and mines in this one, some of the natural landmarks are substituted by superstructures like artificial biospheres and zoos and other man-made landmarks like that. Gyms could then be;
> Gym 1 - Grass/Fire> Gym 2 - Bug/Ground> Gym 3 - Water/Electric> Gym 4 - Psychic/Fighting> Gym 5 - Fairy/Steel> Gym 6 - Flying/Ice> Gym 7 - Ghost/Rock> Gym 8 - Dragon
