Has everyone noticed how gym leaders' names are just about always puns for their favorite type? Just put your ideas for new ones (not that Nintendo will look here for inspiration or anything).

I can't believe you didn't get Roxanne the Hoenn rock gym leader.
yeah if you go too far with that you can get in big trouble with perceived and real racial slurs or other slights. What if they decided to use Epandanandas, the Dark Pokemon Trainer? Or Insert famous serial killer who got the chair, The Electroctued Convict! (like the Lightning American)
Stoney the Herb Smokin Master of Grass Pokemon?
Raul, The Flamin' Gym Leader.
Gypsy Scum, Queen of the Ghost Pokemon?
The list of Gym Leader names that could just be wrong goes on.
JOIN AN RP YOU SLACKERS!
Okay, Qoorl, I wasn't going that far (although I do like some of them). These games are made for children, even if we aren't children.
And Dragonfright, I found a pun in EVERY gym leader's name except a few: Jasmine (Steel) Claire (Dragon) and Tate & Liza (Psychic) (and Koga's daughter who replaced him in GSC, but that's because I forgot her name).
If you really want, I will explain every single one to you, Kanto to Sinnoh, but you don't probably want to waste your time and I don't want to waste my breath. Just ask and I will tell you though.
In the mean time, I hope this bad idea for a thread vanishes.


Your right. But I would have done just all the easy ones like Brock, Roxanne, Lt. Surge, etc. just to show that you aren't completely dumb.
Here I go.
Brock - Rock
Misty - Mist
Lt. Surge - Surge
Erica - Air
Koga - Poison was viewed as a ninja type, Koga is a typical ninja word and name, almost like Sasuke, but I don't know Japanese culture.
Sabrina - A certain magical TV star at the time of the game's release (Pokemon psychics are more of magicians anyhow)
Blaine - Flame or Blaze
Giovanni - Geo
Falkner - Falcon
Bugsy - Bug
Whitney- White
Morty - Mortal, etc
Chuck - Norris
Jasmine - First of three I don't know
Brice - Ice
Clair - Second of three I don't know
Koga's daughter that replaced him as gym leader - I forgot her name
Roxanne - Rocks
Brawly - Brawl
Wattson - Watt
Flannery - Flame
Norman - Normal
Winonia - Wind
Tate & Liza - Last of three I don't know
Wallace - Water
Juan - Water
Roark - Rock
Gardenia - Garden
Maylene - Melee
Crasher Wake - Crashing waves, Water wake
Fantina - Phantom
Byron - Iron
Candice - Ice
Volkner - Volt
You asked for it. It took less time than I thought it would.
Well, you said to "show that I wasn't completely dumb", so why not show that I am entirely not dumb? Ah-ha!
And you don't have to read it.
Anyhow, some wandering PD-er that never noticed the pattern can see the pun names.


I said the EASY ones. Are all of them easy? Whitney wouldn't be easy. I never did read it, who would anyways?


Works for me.


I hate to necropost but,
Jasmine-Mine
Claire-lair, as in a dragons lair
Tate and Liza-I dont really know these
Glacius9, Giovanni doesn't train rock types, so your 'geo' is incorrect - it is merely a popular Italian Mafia name which goes well with his leadership of Team Rocket and how it's basically the Mafia of Pokémon. Otherwise, yes it's usually like that.
DID U GAIZ NO THAT DEY NAME MOVES BASED OFF WAT DAY DO?
LIKE ROCK SMASH! DEY SMASH A ROCK AGANST DA ENEMIE
Erica is the name of a plant.
Harly(Raging Dragon)
Rushton(Blaze)
Tiara(Icy)
Jona(Water)

Not the original,
but a copy,
a clone of the rival,
I need some Coffee,
In this life of survival,
my brother has died,
Even though my breath has sighed...
