>>49387487Gen 5 at least made the gyms into actual places for the most part and made the gym leaders have real jobs related to that.
>Striaton Gym is a restaurant>Nacrene Gym is a museum/library>Castelia Gym is an Art Gallery in B/W1, the gym in B/W2 is weird but it might be a really weird art experience thing that Burgh though of>Nimbasa Gym is a roller coaster in B/W1 which is later supplanted by an actual runway. far more fitting for a gym leader that's an actual model>Driftviel Gym is a mine and Clay's the owner of it>Aspertia Gym doubles as the Trainer School>Virbank Gym is a music club Roxie performs atThe remaining gyms are kinda weird but the leaders at least seem to have jobs. Milastron Gym seems to be a warehouse converted into a gym, but Skyla's a professional pilot. Brycen in B/W1 was a former movie star, so he probably had the wealth to afford a gym that's just one long ice puzzle with no purpose. Opelucid Gym doesn't seem to have a real purpose, but Drayden is the town's mayor and Iris is his apprentice, so they've at least got jobs. The one exception seems to be Marlon and his gym--they don't seem to have ANY purpose at all.
