Favorite Gym Leader/E4 Trainer

[erebus_x]

In order to help stimulate DreamWidth, we need much more Pokemon discussion, no?

Anyway, I have an open-ended question for you all: Who is your favorite Gym Leader and/or E4 Trainer? Why do you like them? What is your favorite Pokemon that's on their team? etc. etc.

[Shameless Plug: I encourage you all to follow the meme's example and help stimulate DW by posting in communities of your interest (*cough*this one*cough*)]

I! ...Only ever played Diamond so I don't think I'm qualified to answer this question. :( I did like Volkner though, since you get to rekindle his interest in fighting and I felt that gave the battle more purpose than "Defeat gym leader, get badge."

I agree, Volkner is a cool Leader. :3 He's my favorite Sinnoh Leader.

Veilstone Gym Leader Maylene!

For her fighting spirit and love of track pants!

My favorite Gym Leader is Green (or Blue, in the American version - aka, the guy rival). He's just overall a snazzy character and I like the variety in his team (of course he has to shake things up). Also, I enjoy his role in the manga; he's plain old BA.

I like Flint a lot, I have to admit! He just makes me smile, really, as does his friendship with Volkner. And he has a kid brother! Ahhh, he just seems really sweet and goofy and friendly to me, someone it'd be really fun to know.

Fantina is a man amazing, also ♥

I also have a soft spot for Bugsy, and for Aaron, and the common factor would be the clue. I'm a big fan of bug type Pokémon, so I'm kinda predisposed to liking them \o

I've only played Blue and Yellow. I suppose my favorite is the KARATE MASTER of the Fighting Dojo (is that cheating?) because you get a Pokémon for defeating him, haha... or, well, if that's cheating, Sabrina in Yellow, because she's the only leader who has as her Pokémon one evolutionary line (Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam).

(My least favorite is Giovanni in Yellow, because Persian is annoying when it's not on my team. :p)
