Favorite and Least Favorite Gym Leaders?

[Gaga]

Uh...Ahem.
Favorites;
Sabrina is definitely my favorite gym leader. Mostly due to the anime's portrayal of her and the fact that she uses Psychic types. Plus her design is great. Blue, he's my favorite rival still. Tate & Liza slightly unsettling mind reader twins, yes. And I like alternative battle types. Morty, ghost gym leader with a stylish sweater and cool scarf. Everything I ever wanted.Jasmine, staying atop a lighthouse to tend to a Pokemon is nice, plus she uses a Steelix, indicating she has another side. Her anime personality was great too. Striaton Trio, triplet battle butlers, that is all.

Least favorites; Falkner, for reasons stated somewhere in this merged thread. And Norman. He's so bland, but I think his Nuzlocke self made me hate him.

Re: What is your hated gym leader/s

I am sorry my friends are pretty much messing everything there is to my computer
Those posts weren't mine
Won't happen again

Oh, I see. If that's the case, then I must apologize as well. I got annoyed and let it get the better of me.

I never stated my favorite gym leaders though. Cilan is an obvious choice since I absolutely love him in the anime. Same with Roark. Byron is hilarious too. "Still...I LOVE THIS HOLE! " lol. I like Brock too, though he got rather stale in the anime. Oh, and let's not forget Jasmine. She's cool.

 

[Steelrush]

My favorite gym leaders listed by region:

Kanto: Lt. Surge

He's got a cool personality, and a nice selection of Pokemon. Of course, once I got Tyranitar, he was easy to beat. XP

Johto: Jasmine

She's a nice girl, and was difficult for me to beat in combat for the first time (without Action Replay).

Hoenn: Winona

Some of the stuff she says is corny, but other than that...

:-D

Sinnoh: I don't really like the Sinnoh gym leaders...

Unova: Cilan

He's a cool dude, although I haven't battled him yet. (I picked Snivy on white version).

____________

Least favorites:

Kanto: I actually don't have a problem with any of the Kanto gym leaders, surprisingly.

Johto: Clair

She's hot, but her cruelty and ego is VERY annoying. I mean, she's around my age and behaves in a very juvenile way when she loses. If gym leaders were meant to ALWAYS win no matter what, they wouldn't have any badges to hand out.

Hoenn: Wallace

This guy creeps me out...

:scared:

Every time I see him, that horror music from the terrifying Halo cutscene (where Captain Keyes dies) plays in my head.

Sinnoh: ...Pretty much all of them.

I'm not fond of the Sinnoh gym leaders, really.

Unova: Roxie

I just don't like her, no specific reason. :disgust:

 

[Icike]

Favorite Leader: Volker (his personality interest me and I'm a fan to the yellow/blue color style plus I like electric types)

Least Favorite Leader: Whitney (only cause of her Milktank)

Jasmine ain't that hard I defeated her with a level 25-28 Quilava that ain't hard with no healing items
In my opinion

^ You had the Type Advantage, Steelrush might not.

My favourites per gen :

Gen 1 : Blaine, because he is much easier to access. However the battle wasn't too easy.
Gen 2 : Falkner, if only because he uses one of the most basic bird Pokémons.
Gen 3 : Flannery, Norman or Wattson. I can't seem to choose one : Flannery is hot (both in beauty and literally), Norman is the only person you confront who's the father of your playable character, and Wattson because of his jolly attitude and the fact he gives out one of my favourite attacks if we help him resolve the New Lavandia problem.
Gen 4 : Fantina, if only because she's french comme moi (in the english version of the game at least)
Gen 5 : Roxie, due to her Gym theme.

Least favourite per gen :
Gen 1 : Brock. I only disliked him when I used Charmander against him. Otherwise, I didn't mind at all.
Gen 2 : Whitney. The reason is so easy to guess, even Jessie and James's disguises cannot be as obvious.
Gen 3 : Tate and Liza. The only time you have to confront two Gym Leaders at once and it has to be a somewhat annoying battle.
Gen 4 : Roark, but really I don't have a least favourite in Sinnoh.
Gen 5 : The Striaton Trio. Taking advantage of your starter Pokémon no matter what you do is cheap I think. The fact you have the option to choose an elemental monkey doesn't help at all, since I generally dislike monkey Pokémons (except for Mankey and Primeape).

 

[Takoto]

I have so many I love, but not many I dislike, just ones I find really forgettable. Pretty much every Sinnoh Gym Leader was forgettable ]:

I think some of my favourite leaders though are Erika, Bugsy, Morty, Clair, Giovanni (does he even count), and a few others. Mostly from the first and second gen.

 

[Catspring]

Favorites

Gen I: Erika, because we have the same name c:
Gen II: Falkner because he's hot.
Gen III: Didn't like many of the Hoenn leaders. I guess Norman since he's your dad and that's cool.
Gen IV: Roark or Candice
Gen V: Cilan or Homika

Least Favorites:

Gen I: I like them all.
Gen II: Pryce
Gen III: Roxanne, boring in every way.
Gen IV: I like them all.
Gen V: Brycen

 

[Lansten]

Favorite:

Gen I: Erika
Gen II: Jasmine or Clair
Gen III: Flannery
Gen IV: Candice
Gen V: Elesa

Least Favorite:

Gen I: Lt. Surge
Gen II: Chuck
Gen III: Juan
Gen IV: Volkner
Gen V: Clay

 

[zakisrage]

I'll list my favourites and "unfavourites" for each generation:

FAVOURITES

Gen I: Erika - I love the whole geisha thing.
Gen II: Morty - I can't describe how much I love Morty. He's my favourite Gym Leader of all!
Gen III: Winona - She's awesome.
Gen IV: Byron - He's so cool, plus he's one of the Gym Leaders who actually gave me a few laughs.
Gen V: Elesa - She's so nice and insightful about things despite being a supermodel. (Most of the time, supermodels in fiction are depicted as airheads, rather than actual people with brains.)

UNFAVOURITES

Gen I: Lt. Surge - He's so mean and selfish. In the games, not so much, but in every other adaptation he's a major jerkass. (In the manga he's a member of Team Rocket.) Probably my least favourite of all.
Gen II: Whitney - It took me four tries to beat her demon-possessed Miltank (whose ability is Scrappy:lol, and plus she acts like a baby when she loses.
Gen III: Brawly - Kinda bland IMO.
Gen IV: Volkner - He acts like such an emo - he was the only Sinnoh Gym Leader I didn't like.
Gen V: Cheren - I thought he was such a dork (though admittedly I hated many of the rivals). And now you face him as a Gym Leader...

[Blue Dragon]

My favourites: Winona, Clair, Blaine, Misty, Blue, Brycen, Morty.

My least favoured: Fantina, Chuck, Pryce, Norman.

And the rest are neutral until B/W2

 

[Faerie]

Favorites:
Gen I: Blaine("You better have burn heal!" Plus I loved him in the anime.)
Gen II: Morty, Clair(in terms of battle - style, she was bad***)
Gen III: Wattson, Flannery, Norman, Winona, Tate & Liza, Wallace. Pretty sad but I loved almost all the gym leaders in this generation. Plus, R/S/E just happens to be my favorite generation of the Pokemon games.
Gen IV: Gardenia(I remember her best out of all the gym leaders, just because of that extra encounter at the Chatteau, plus I love her character design - I just think she looks really cute), Crasher Wake(he was funny!)
Gen V: Striaton Trio(they were rather adorable, even if they did take advantage of your starter type), Elesa(I liked the things she said plus she was rather charming,)

Least Favorites:
Gen I: Lt. Surge
Gen II: Whitney(Hoho...that miltank), Claire(her attitude...)
Gen III: NONE
Gen IV: None.
Gen V: Cheren. Oh lord, he became a gym leader(in Black 2/White 2 I think). I've never played Black 2/White 2 but I remember disliking Cheren in the original Black/White because he was so lame, probably the lamest of all the rivals for me.

 

[randomuniq]

Favorite has to be Sabrina. She was tough and she was mysterious! (But I equally love Brock, Misty, Sabrina, Volkner, Candice, Morty, Norman, Jasmine...)

Least Favorite? Battle-wise: Wattson, I love his personality, but DANG this man can battle! Even with a ground type, his Magnemite and Voltorb always crushed it and then killed the rest with his Manectric. Whenever I play R/S/E, I make sure to have tons of potions in Mauville 'cause I'll be spending a lot of time blacking out.
Personality: I hated how Whitney was being a cry baby in the end. She's probably like the only Gym Leader I don't like. I love all of them!

 

[OshaMiju]

I like Sabrina... what's cooler than someone with telekinesis!!!!

And I am not a fan of Whitney.... she was really tough to beat and then when you were finally able to beat her she made you feel guilty by crying.

 

[Weedul]

My favourite gym leader is Chuck because I liked his Poliwrath and also gave out Dynamic Punch in Gen II.
My least favourite would probably be...surprise surprise Whitney because I was very young when playing Pokemon Silver. I didn't stand a chance against that Miltank.

 

[Emrye]

Favorite: Byron. He's awesome!

Least Favorite: Wattson. My Wingull couldn't take any of his Pokemon down.
