Contest Second Gym Leaders: Misty vs. Bugsy vs. Brawly vs. Gardenia vs. Lenora

[FatKidLovesCoke]

Simple enough, fave second gym leader out of all generations

EDIT: Mods, move if necessary, but please message me if you do

 

[Nick Ketchum]

I can't decide between Brawly and Lenora.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Oh my...
I love Lenora and Gardenia... But I voted in the first one, because I feel that I'll be the only one to vote in her.

 

[cityvillain]

I do not like them all, but I'll just choose Misty anyway for wearing bathing suit or something.
Special mention: I hate Gardenia in the anime. She and her awful hobo dress.

 

[Orion-Sama]

I like them all, myself. I'd say I edge more for Gardenia, Bugsy and Lenora, though.

I'll have to go with Gardenia. She's pretty sexy, and funny in the Anime with her Grass Pokémon obsession. In the games she's much better in Platinum, where her fear for ghosts makes her act in a pretty cute way. XD

 

[Koukoubean]

I always liked Aloe/Lenora. She's awesome, and guess what, she's a Normal-type Gym Leader! I've never imagined that I'd like a specialist of that type. Plus, she is also an archaeologist; bonus points for that.

Though Kasumi/Misty and Tsukushi/Bugsy come close too.

 

[pokemoll]

Misty. She's got the best personality, and she was the hardest to beat. She's also the most memroable. (Urgh...spelling) And her Starmie is awesome, full stop.

 

[Arc Blader]

Lenora, I guess? Because she actually did something relevant to the storyline...

 

[Cybersai]

Misty. She's got the best personality, and she was the hardest to beat.

Has the best personality? All she tells you in the games is that she likes swimming.

I'll go with Lenora. I also like the fact that we finally had a black woman in the games.

 

[HexagonStephen]

Lenora. Retaliate is what really gives her the boost. That was the only problem I had against her.

 

[farewell friend]

Misty. Not because of anything special. She wins for nostalgia? Hmm.
I hate Lenora though. She was too hard to beat.

 

[Noctis]

Bugsy, because I love Bug-types.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Misty has no personality in the games, but I like her in the anime.

 

[Freddie]

Lenora is my favorite out of the five, for she actually did things OUTSIDE of the Gym.

 

[Kutomba]

I picked Gardenia. I don't think I need to really explain my decision X3

 

[Camille]

Gardenia, since I love her signature Pokemon (Roserade), her Gym designs in both Diamond/Pearl and Platinum, and her fear of Ghost Pokemon is intriguing, too. I'd love to see her with at least one Grass/Ghost Pokemon on her team in the Sinnoh remakes.

 

[CynthiaLover]

Gardenia for me. While I'm iffy on Grass Mons, I really like her cute design, her personality, and her hilarious Grass Mon obsession in the anime. Plus, she's the first Gym Leader to own a Starter in her ranks, as well as a fully-evolved 3-stage Mon (Roserade), which is pretty substantial for the second Gym Leader. On top of that she's afraid of Ghosts, which, considering the Ghost-type is my least favorite type, resonates with me very well. And she had that really emotional episode in the anime where she took in James's Cacnea. So my vote goes to Gardenia.

Second place is Lenora due to her being a very challenging Gym Leader (Retaliate can really bring the pain if she times it right, not to mention Watchog's Hypnosis making things even MORE painful). Even with a Fighting-type she's still gonna make you work for that badge.
