TopicI was thinking about Pokemon gym leaders. . .

I will mention I'd been recently thinking it'd be cool if there was a dino-themed region for Pokemon, or if they just had a dino gym... but then I realized almost all dinosaur Pokemon are rock types (for no fucking good reason -- it's just a holdover from when they entered the franchise as fossils) so most are weak against water or, in the case of rock/water types, 4x weak against grass.

How did it work in those games?

There was a weird trials system in many cases, and then you also had one gym leader (although they were "Kahunas" rather than gym leaders, because the system was different) who just straight-up handed you her (I think it was a chick) badge.

Most of the trials involved exploring an area to find Pokemon in specific places to fight, and then the Kahuna or whatever would fight you. Basically you had to impress a Kahuna, and then the Kahuna would let you fight them for their badge. And iirc some of the Kahunas became the E4 because the Alola region didn't have an E4.

Oh... a gym...
