That was a random battle. My movesets were terrible, and yours was good. I can't base the facts off that. Totodile isn't that bad and can usually destroy a Miltank with ease, including Whitney's.

Even then, my moveset wasn't that great either (all I get was Dizzy Punch?). But it was still there to show you Miltank is surprisingly fast and can take hits.

Totodile? Destroy Miltank with ease? No way.

Gym leaders would be tougher if they could level up according to the average level of the pokemon in the party, of course, there should have a default minimum level for the gym leaders' pokemon. The way I see it, gym leaders are really easy to beat if you have high leveled pokemon. ;) don't mind me, i'm just giving my POV. :)

I think that Gym Leaders should make their Pokemon hold useful items.

For example, Whitney's Clefairy could hold a Chople Berry, to reduce the power of fighting moves, and Whitney's Miltank could hold the Leftovers, to improve it's staying power.

The possibilities are endless!

The ghost gym I got lucky when my level 5(i think, i know it was just hatched), used metronome and it wash hyper beam and it killed their last pokemon that had full HP. i was soooo lucy.

Now that I have matured as a player I would hope that the gym battles are tougher than before because even in D/P the game was wayyyy too easy.

I really wish... but the game tradition is "signature Pokemon carries Sitrus Berry" and nothing else :(

That's not true. In Pokemon Emerald, Juan's Kingdra held a Chesto Berry, to heal the sleep status that was self-inflicted from "Rest".

So did DP's Byron with Chesto Berry Bastiodon. Anyways, for the most part, it's some form of berry. I haven't seen anything like Leftovers or Life Orb or the more useful items or those really rare items. So I'm not even sure what to say.

I hope they don't change the gym leaders pokemon, save the level of them maybe. I don't like any of the pokemon after gold and silver anyways, and i wanna play 'em like I did when I was 8 years old.

I do agree that they should have more useful items though.

Just make 'em stronger, not different

I have been playing through my old Gold ROM and I have to say, even though the gyms where low leveled I am surprised they aren't as easy as I was thinking them to be. I mean, still easy, but since I am so use to how the 4th gen works I guess it is throwing me off going old school haha.

Either way, I would still LOVE to see something stronger then a lv 9 Pidgeoto. That was so painful to see >.< And in spite of Whitney giving me such a hard time when I was young, I owned her first go this time. But I also knew type advantages this time so that helped. I want more of a challenge. I hope they really put everything they got into this remake.

I hate it when Gym Leaders/E4 have more than one of the same pokemon or its pre-evolutions. The Champion is just ridiculous. Electric- and Ice-moves take care of his whole team, so Weavile and Jolteon would be ideal, due to their fantastic speed. In Platinum, I really liked the Champion because she had variety on her pokemon. Same goes to the rest of the E4.

I loved the fact that the Champion in Platinum had a wide range of types. It was just like Gen 1 when facing off againts Green/Blue. It would be neat to have that in the remakes, but at the same time not.

They changed a few gym leaders

Falkner - No longer is his Pidgeotto level 9, but level 13!! (Rejoice :P)

Bugsy - All his pokemon's levels have gone up by one

Whitney - Her Clefairy and Milktank's levels have gone down by one each (boo :frown:)

And Morty hasn't changed at all

As for the rest, I dunno, but I'm glad they made changes to those gym leaders, now we'll get nostalgia AND a challenge
