I think in gen 1 they were going for poison vs psychic rivalry where poison is the bad, trickster type and psychic the good fair type

Gym leaders should stop being monotype trainers, sure they could have a primary type but they should have other types, which could teach more about type match ups to lil' timmy like having flying or dark types in a poison gym

I thought the gimmick was status. Like you get poisoned and confused and then stalled out, or paralyzed and confused, or whatever else. I can't remember what the sandslashes were doing though.

Koga's team was giving me the most problems in FRLG.

I wonder if this is related to the confusing names of the soul and marsh badge.

Those are localiser nonsense, the original badge names are just colours.

Yeah, I know, but I wonder if the use of Psychic types by the trainers in Fuchsia is at least partially responsible for the mix up during localization. It's difficult to localize something by strings alone, after all.

I don't think its bad for at least the first few gyms to be pure monotype for new players.
We did have Raihan being more of a weather leader than a dragon leader, that was nice.

Not OP, but why the poison gym of all things? Like there isn't a lack of poison types in gen 1:
>Bulbasaur/Oddish/Bellsprout line
>Tentacool line
>Nidoran lines
>If you're really desperate Weedle/Vennonat lines
>Golbat
>Ghastly line
Like you have options if you don't want just Koffings and Ekans

I could think about a better line-up of gyms desu:
>1st gym
it's just after Viridian Forest, the gym leader could be a bug type specialist with a Beedrill, a Venonat and/or a Venomoth
>Misty
the Tentacool line instead of the Staryu line
>Erika
Tangela a shit. just cut it and get a Gloom and Weepinbel to support their respective final evolutions
>Koga
he's okay
>Sabrina
her gym is full of ghost trainers just like Koga's gym is full of psychic trainers. why not give her a Gengar and Haunter as well?
>Blaine
A PKMN mansion team would be really fitting for him and all you can find in PKMN mansion are Ponyta, Grimer, Muk, Koffing and Weezing. So a team of Muk, Weezing and Rapidash sounds better
>Giovanni
yeah the Nidos are bulky and hit hard, Rhydon dies to any special attack and Dugtrio is a glass cannon. Better emphasize his Nidos way more.
