And Odyssey, that sounds like a good idea. Since that hasn't been discussed yet, let's get on with one of them.

Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova?

Enjoy! And I think after this i'll start Unova PotW's.

 

[faf]

Braviary. <3 I've never used it but I love its design. His counterpart, Mandibuzz, is amazing too. Anywho, a PotW would be awesome and looking forward to it. A word of warning: expect major Scrafty fangirling from me if it gets picked. ;D

Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova?
I think it's got to be Roxie. Her gym is unique; in order to challenge her the music must be toned down and by doing that the gym's music feels different and her attitude is so spunky and loud. I love her design too. I also like Clay's cowboyish (also his gym theme in the sequels is so catchy) and I can relate to Burgh cause artist. :D

 

[Odyssey]

Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova?
It'll have to be Roxie. Not only she looks rather cute, but I love the format of the Gym. Not to mention that she does make a pretty nice Poison type user, given her personality.

Also, when the PoTW happens, you'll probably be seeing me fangirl over both Sawk and Mienshao... that is, when they get their turn in PoTW. :P

 

[Nah]

Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova?
If I had to pick it'd be Cheren. It was nice to see him grow over the course of Black/White and later become a Gym Leader, and it was good to see him again (several times) in Black2/White2. They could've just included him all of like once or twice in the story, but they didn't, which is good.

Also Brycen because Brycen-Man

Favorite City: I always liked Nimbasa City since it had a great soundtrack, rebattling strong trainers, and a ferry wheel :P

Yay! Another member.

Anyway, my favorite Unova Gym Leader would be Clay. His Gym has one of my favorite designs, and the music in B2W2 is pretty rad at that. And he's a businessman who mined out the entire city, taking it from buildings to emerald-hued buildings, which I thought was a really nice change. And as far as battling him goes, that Excadrill can prove to be a good challenge if you're not properly prepared for it (especially in BW where it has Hone Claws).

also I need to update the OP, gosh darn it

 

[Hikamaru]

Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova?

I do love a lot of these Gym Leaders, but my all-time fave has to be Marlon. First, he specializes in my fave type, and he uses one of my fave Pokemon of that type (Jellicent). I also love his surfer dude-like accent and the design of his Gym, and it also doesn't help that I love Humilau City's design already. Also, I do love his rad hair hahahaha.

Close second fave would be Elesa, along with Roxie, Cheren, Skyla, the Striaton Trio (Cilan, Cress and Chili) and Iris.

Elesa because she's fabulous

Eh, probably Drayden. His gym is really cool, he's really cool, and Haxorus is really cool.

Hey there! Fan of Team Plasma by any chance?

Speaking of Golurk, I think it's cool how it can fly despite its body and lack of wings. In a way, he's like the Astro Boy of Pokemon, soaring on his rocket powered feet. How he flies, I still have no idea. But the fact that it's a huge flying robot's pretty amazing, wouldn't you agree?

Hydreigon's awesome too! You've got good taste. I haven't used one myself but it seems like one of the best party members to have around for its vicious design and typing. Three headed beasts, heck yeah.

That being said, welcome! Great to have you here. :]

Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova?

I'll go with the first gym leaders - Cilan, Cress and Chili. Gym leaders themselves don't have too much interaction but I remember instantly liking the three from when I first played B/W. Even though they're far from the most challenging, they all complement each other well, are great characters and have huge impact outside of the games. Cilan for instance, plays as one of the main characters in the later episodes of the anime.

I don't remember much of Elesa but she seems pretty vibrant and eccentric! I'm not really interested in fashion models but her ability to juggle between parading and battling's impressive. She seems nice enough as well.

 

[Nah]

First time I saw Golurk fly in the Victini movie I was like "WTF THAT THING CAN FLY?!" then learned that it can actually use the HM move Fly.

 

[QueenNothing]

Who is your favorite gym leader from Unova?
I'd have to go with Roxie. Poison is a favorite type of mine, and I really like the theme of the gym.

 

[Teravolt]

Who is your favorite gym leader of Unova?

I'll have to go with Skyla. Though I believe Elesa has a cooler gym, Skyla has a pretty cool hideout. The cannons thingy was pretty cool imo, specially the last one that launched you to the beginning after you defeated her. The Pokémon she used fit her characteristic in the anime too, and I just really like her design. Speaking of the anime, the battle between her and Ash was pretty awesome.

 

[Nakala Pri]

Who is your favorite gym leader from Unova?
Skyla! =D Not only is she hot, powerful and capable, she shoots people out of cannons on a daily basis. >:p My dream job! Roxie is a close second 'cause she's a rock star and specializes in Poison types! :P

 

[Pendraflare]

So we have some nice answers here, I really liked pretty much all the Gym Leaders from Unova, I know that Roxie was one who was a nice change-up since she was the first Poison-type specialist we had since Koga in Generation I and its remakes (and Janine from Johto, if you count that).

Yay another fan of Hydreigon! (: And I already talked about Golurk a bit in the Pokémon General forum a few days ago, I do like the thing and used it twice in main playthroughs and used it in a run-through of White Treehollow that I was doing for an event challenge.

Anyway, i'll try to get in the first PotW for this before long, so yeah! Hope you all enjoy.

I would say Elesa, as she tends to stand out to me a lot when it comes to Unovian Gym Leaders.

Battling her for the first time in Pokémon Black version was sort of difficult, I'd say; if I'm not mistaken, she had a Zebstrika on her team, which was fast and knew how to use Confuse Ray. It would always find a way to out-speed my team members, then proceed to confuse them. Unfortunately, these confusion effects seemed to have affected my Pokémon more often than not, and that was slightly frustrating.

In terms of anime, I don't believe I have seen much of her. However, majority of this might be my problem, as I wasn't much of a big follower of their show when Black & White was still airing; sadly, I found this season to be a bit stale, which had kept me away from actually watching. If it weren't for that, it likely wouldn't have been an issue.

 

[Teravolt]

God I forgot about this. We should become more active here.

 

[Pendraflare]

Ah, don't mind that, I too have struggled to keep up with my own club too.

But no more of that, because I think we're going to get to our first Pokémon of the Week!

Gigalith, the Compressed Pokémon. Compressing the energy from its internal core lets it fire off an attack capable of blowing away a mountain. The solar energy absorbed by its body's orange crystals is magnified internally and fired from its mouth.

That's something else, i'd say.

Anyway, looking at Gigalith, its Rock-typing is usually a questionable type to have on its own, in that it has several common weaknesses but also a couple resistances to go alongside them. With its stats, it comes with Attack and Defense equal to that of Metagross, and a tiny bit more HP, but sadly its Special Attack falters and its Speed is even slower than Snorlax. Its Special Defense is a bit below average, but that got a small boost in Generation VI. At a whopping 573.2 lbs, this thing is heavy alright! Finally, it has the Sturdy ability, which blocks OHKO moves and ensures it will always survive a hit with 1 HP if it is at full health.

Here are my questions for you on this one:
Have you ever used Gigalith before, competitively or in-game? If so, when?

Do you like Gigalith's design?

Do you like its Rock-typing? If not, would you give it another type alongside it?

If you were to give it a Mega Evolution, how would you go about it?

What's your overall opinion on Gigalith?

Anything else you want to mention about it?

And with that, enjoy!

 

[Odyssey]

Have you ever used Gigalith before, competitively or in-game? If so, when?
Never used one before. Defensive Rock types just don't do the job done for me.

Do you like Gigalith's design?
I do. What I most like about its design is what it's based off of, which is crystals. Plus it has a pretty Shiny.

Do you like its Rock-typing? If not, would you give it another type alongside it?
I would keep it as it is. At first glance it looks like it should have an extra typing, but pure Rock type fits this Pokémon the most.

If you were to give it a Mega Evolution, how would you go about it?
I could see Gigalith's Mega Evolution being like Mega Steelix - Super Defensive and better Attack power, but slower than its regular forme.

What's your overall opinion on Gigalith?
While not my favourite Unova Pokémon, I do feel as if there's still quite a bit to like about it. I'm not so keen on using one at all, but I still appreciate its design.

Anything else you want to mention about it?
It's Sturdy ability is annoying. Same applies for Roggenrola and Boldore. :P
