    She's like a Wallace/Lance weird hybrid. Besides, having another dragon champion is borring. What's more, I don't like if a gym leader/E4/champion share the type. We have Drayden who is a dragon specialist and uses a Haxorus, so Iris is an upgraded version of him. They should either make someone else the Champion or get rid of Drayden as the GL.

    Dragon Champions are the best for me.

    Other than the fact Dragons are my favorite type, they just make for more of an epic battle. Dragons are just elite, cool looking Pokemon. If it's not a Dragon-type Champion, it would have to be a mixed Champion.

    It would have been pretty cool if they would have brought back Blue as the Champion just to throw in a curve ball.

    Wait, what? How would that make any sense, at all? What would Blue be doing as Champion of the Unova region? And what sense would it make to have an old character randomly be the Champion instead of showcasing a new character?

    Xerneas, the Midgard Pokemon. Xerneas's branch-like horns are reminiscent of those
    of the tree it guards. Its mighty horns contain jewels of dazzling colours. It chomps at
    upper branches by craning its neck toward the sky. Xerneas protects the horizontal world.

    Well, people can travel around and find new challenges. It wouldn't be that weird, but a new character is better. I'd like a mixed champion aswell. More variety, but not so sure if it's more challenging. Relying on one or two Poke's per Elite Four trainer is probably more difficult than when you're able to rely on more, if not all, of your Poke's. A dragon gymleader is enough, though (again, variety!).

    Hence why I said curve ball.

    And they didn't showcase a new character. They just amp'd an old one into a better one w/ Iris.

    To be fair to Iris, her three dragons all serve different roles (special attacker, physical attacker and defensive/mixed) and the rest of her team covers their two shared weaknesses pretty well. Compare that to Lance and Wallace who fulfill the same mold as a mono-type champion but could easily be swept with the right type coverage since they don't cover their weaknesses as effectively. Lance in particular also gets another detriment since he only has one dragon used, and it's used three times serving the same role with the only difference being the elemental attacks they used.

    As for the new character being the champion over Iris, I think I would prefer to see someone ascend to the position over just some random new guy. After the 2 year period, I wanted to see how some of the characters grew and changed over that time, whether they got a new position, retired or left to pursue their own goals. In contrast, I think that a new character would just seem like they came out of nowhere and took the position over someone who we've already come to know. So while I was surprised Iris took the position, I'm glad with the route they took since she did have good reason to go for the position and it shows her growth as a trainer.

    They seriously should of made the 8th Gym in BW2 a Dark Gym

    Next it's the pinnacle of me being cynical
    Can I be the lynch pin compelling to judge a lottery

    It wouldn't have fit anywhere to me. Plus if they would have done that, Humilau City would not be what it is now, and I like that place.

    A Dark type gym would've been perfect for Lacunosa Town, but I don't think it would've been appropriate to make it the 8th gym in that case, maybe 6th or 7th.

    I don't think it would have fit there :/

    Plus I don't like when they just cram Gyms somewhere and the Gyms end up being too close together and there's really no point of the gym being there story-wise

    And why is that?

    I think I'm the only one who's not all that thrilled about a Dark-type Gym nor thinks they have to give us one.

    "Hey! I was looking forward to seeing you! My rival should be strong to keep me sharp."
    Your rival would like to battle!

    It totally would've. Think about it, the people of Lacunosa Town stay inside at night because they're scared of the "monster" eating them. So maybe the gym leader could be a night guard of sorts that uses Dark types to protect the city. That would've been perfect for a Dark type gym leader.

    That would be an improvement in that regard, since gyms 3-6 were too close together. Removing one of those gyms and adding one in Lacunosa would've been better for pacing.

    Seems to me a Fire type leader would work better (light up the night, keep the monster away, fire trumps ice)
    Or even a rock type leader (giant stone walls keep out kyurem. also rock>ice)


    Meanwhile Dark would have to deal with several decades worth of stories and traditions that associate the night and darkness with the giant human eating freezing cold monster
    edit: it would be like having an ice type gym in Lacunosa, basically

    There would be too many altercations story-wise and Gym-placement that would need to be made. Plus I tend to enjoy the towns that don't have a gym.

    Not really. Gym placement usually doesn't have that much to do with the storyline.

    I think it did w/ Gen V when they had Gym Leaders interact w/ the storyline.

    To a degree, but they're usually not essential to the storyline, they just show up during whatever's happening. At any rate, I don't see why the Lacunosa Town gym leader can't show up while the old lady is explaining the legend or when Team Plasma ambushes you.

    Lacunosa doesn't have a gym, right?

    Right. We are discussing the possibility of it having one.
