Hmm, so currently there is no Ghost type or Steel type gyms? I think that we could work on a democratic basis in deciding what teams gym leaders have. With voting and such.

I know someone on the /vp/ thread was thinking of a Kamen Rider-based steel leader and, personally, I thought it sounded wicked cool. There's also an idea in the works for a ghost leader, but nothing canon yet.

I see. What does the Ghost leader consist of as of yet? I love Ghost Pokémon, as you can already see, and would like to contribute.

Basically, the idea was of a town based on Fengdu; an ex-plague colony where the sick were kept away from the rest of society. Now everyone who's left is either a carrier or immune. The locals are very superstitious and there are rumors of ghost sightings.
The gym leader himself is a mad scientist/doctor who's still looking for a cure to the plague, as he himself is a carrier.

Pretty interesting. I can imagine the leader in a hazmat suit, with pokeballs floating in vials, and the pokeballs and Pokémon with a biohazard symbol painted on them.

Another idea that has been tossed around is that the Gym Leader is dressed like an olden-times plague doctor, with the whole crow-motif.

That seems like an interesting idea too, but wouldn't the town need to be a little more medieval then? Or maybe, the leader could be a mix of both styles, but fusing them would be hard.

Maybe the plague doctor mask with a gas mask filter on the end of the "beak"?

Agreed. What typing is this leader going to be, exactly?

Ghost. We kind of have something started for the gym leader, his name is Dr. de Lorme. However, his appearance is still up in the air. I like the plague doctor idea if the execution is good. But, we should leave it up to democracy. Which reminds me, we had a few town names we were considering and wanted to put it up to the people of /tr/. A new thread should start soon. trleague.wikia.com/wiki/Maltus_Town - Dr. de Lorme trleague.wikia.com/wiki/Audubon_Town - Audubon Town, bug type. Other ideas are accepted. : D

I don't think Jason is a very good name for someone with the last name de Lorme. I understand that people in the US have very varied second names, but for someone dressed like a plague doctor and named de Lorme...

/tr/ainer who gave the idea of a Kamen-Rider inspired Gym Leader here. He would use Kirikizan line and Scizor primarily. Another idea who appeared in /tr/ Fighting Gym Leader, would use Zuruggu line, Croagunk line, Mankey and Staraptor (with Close Combat)
