Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted April 11, 2017 Global Mods Share Posted April 11, 2017 There are four types that we haven't seen any E4 specialists for: Normal, Grass, Electric, and Fairy. What if the next set of E4 (excluding possible remakes) use those four types? . o . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animefan666 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 What if the E4 uses themes not bound by types? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted April 11, 2017 Author Global Mods Share Posted April 11, 2017 I can't really say it wouldn't happen since the past few gens have broken a lot of trends. Ex: no gyms in Sun and Moon, XY having the first Rock leader that isn't first and first Ice leader that isn't seventh, etc. But I would prefer the type theme always stay. I know a lot of people want to see them use themes to spice it up, but I'd personally be bored by that. I'd rather the Gym Leaders and E4 stick to types and other important non-league characters like rivals use themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnsworth Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Considering there still isn't a dark type gym, after five games (Gen 2-6), I doubt that will be the case. One or two of these types might be used if we are lucky though. I'd bet on Fairy and Grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would your thoughts be on a weather based E4? that'd still be mostly type themed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Ame saying Cain used a doubles rain strategy in the online league, so different things can probably be done with weather. I'd still rather types. I think themes are pretty neat for non-league trainers like the stat trainers from DPPt, but I'd rather the league use types. I can't really explain why. I guess it's because I like the type themed character designs and name puns. At the very least I wouldn't want type-focused characters to disappear completely.

Arkhi Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Now that there are two generations' worth of fairies, I think there's enough E4 viable Pokemon to justify the creation of an E4 fairy trainer. And that's held true for all the other types, too. The only oddball I would understand not creating an E4 member for would be Normal, just because it's so simple. It doesn't really contribute to the sense of awe to which you would hold these four elite trainers. But if Bug-type can do it, any type can.

Daniel Blackworth Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'm fine with the E4 being type themes as it's actually a good thing. I just hope that in future installments they will become involved with how the story flows and that there will be more character immersion for them.

A Water, Fire, Ground, Ice Elite 4 could maybe work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfox Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I would like to see a fairy type e4 member if I;m honest, however seeing as in monotype fairy is top tier type as this point that might be a hard one to balance well without making it to hard or easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Considering gen 6 and 7 both introduced two Elite Four members with types we hadn't seen before, I'm guessing gen 8 will do the same. I'm kind of hoping for a Fairy-type Elite Four, because Fairy is a really strong type with a lot of potential. And if gen 8 goes back to Gyms it would be nice to see an Electric-type Elite Four, if only because there has been so many Electric-type Gyms.
