LOL.

Is it just me or does anyone else find it weird how some of Koga's trainers have PSYCHIC pokemon in a POISON gym?

I smell a betrayal... lol

yes, i thought it weird myself.

But, it gets poison gas, so that makes it sortof poison.

That's just their cover, lol....

They're really planning on overthrowing him for picking such an easy type to beat.

Anyway, he was easy. I beat him. (duh.) The end.

Conspiracy theories...


Well, Most poisons pack a punch. And can take good ones.

Ie, Nidoking, weezing, etc.

Yeah but not if you knock them out before they can go into effect ;]

Except if you get screwed by Nido's Poison Point (which, by the way, I love, lol)

Nah, he has to have psychic pokemon. I mean, how do you think those walls became invisible?

It's special material that can be created only in the alternate Earth that is the pokemon world. This material is both see-through, and impact-resistant.

Its called glass. Very high tech.

Not if you have an Alakazam!

Very Very clean glass.

That would be funny if the overthrown Koga.

I don't think its the fact that he has Pokemon that don't suit the type, I think it is more to do with the theme of the gym. Ninjas. Don't ask me how Hypno and Kadabra represents ninjas, but I suppose their trickery has something to do with it. And it is that trickery that then leads you to believe that Koga will also use a variety of poison types. So, the ninjaness comes from the trickery side of things, hence Koga's typage.

That's my theory anyway.

I can see how Kadabra goes with ninjas because of high speed, but Hypno and Drowzee are outrageously slow, so why them? Two words: Poison Gas. Because of that move and good attacks, they are in there. Stupid Hypnos.

All the pokemon in that gym have SOME way of inflicting a status condition.
Kadabra Syncronize/Thunder Wave/Confusion/Psybeam
Drowzee/Hypno Poison Gas/Swagger/Hypnosis/confusion
Sandshrew/slash Poison Sting
Ekans/Arbok Glare/Poison Sting
Venonat/moth Supersonic/Poisonpowder/Stun Spore/Sleep Powder
Koffing/Weezing Poison Gas/Smog/Sludge
Grimer/Muk Poison Gas/Sludge/Sludge Bomb

Does any of the trainers have a Mr.Mime?
If one of them does thats your invisible wall maker.

Eh... I was just meaning how it's "labeled" as a Poison gym when really it's more like a Status Infliction Paradise. *shrug*

They can't overthrow Koga. If the Gym Trainers try to get to him they hit a wall. SMACK!

thought that was cool..........

but annoying because they have psychic moves too and I was going against with a Nidoking w/surf.

If they tried really hard and actually put some sense into it, they just might. Haha. Besides. How hard can it be to beat a friggin Weezing and Muk? They're so easy, puh-lease.

there probably dual types that can learn different moves (like charizard and earthquake(tm))
or that they are resistant to psycical attacks and specials

i think game designers decided to do this because poison is so easy to beat. come on, a couple speacial attacks and they're dead-erm, fainted.

Sorry for using a reference to the Hoenn gyms, but Norman and his trainers use normal pokemon, but it's labeled as an item gym(If that makes any sense). I don't remember anywhere in the game that said it was a poison gym. People make that assemption because Koga's whole team is poison, but really they all inflict a certain kind of status infliction. Any help?

Its a lot like the Elite Four in D/P, the people have their key type, but 1 or 2 of their pokemon are thrown in the mix for no apparent reason. They want to offset any superadvantage that you have.

That is a little wierd, but how many people just have one type of pkm in thier team?

lots of em. I have a piplup , piplup , prinplup , prinplup , empoleon and empoleon. it gets anoying when i got to the elites. and the elites in lg/fr have different teams. 1st has jynx (psychic) in ice elite. 2nd is onyx ( rock ) in fighting elite. 3rd is arbok/globat (poison/flying) in ghost elite. 4th is areodactyl (rock/flying) in dragon elite. see what i mean
