Hi guys!

I recently watched the new ORAS trailer and was amazed by what I saw. The designs of everything were stunning! The thing that stuck out the most, though, was the gym design. If you didn't see the trailer, it is on the front page of PokeBeach, I guarantee it will amaze you. For those who did (which I assume is most of you) notice the two gyms near the end. I want to figure out what they are. I strongly suspect that the first one (with the rocks and floating white dot paths) is the psychic gym. The trainers appear to be psychics and the whole gym is floating in a psychicy way. The second gym is harder to tell, it could be a water gym, a Rock gym, or maybe Brawly's fighting gym. It also could be Flannery's fire gym as it seemed to focus on steam, something present in the gym. What do you guys think?

The other thing that I'm making this thread for is to talk about how the gym designs will work. GameFreak amazed me in this trailer and I am excited to see what will come. I want to hear how you think the gyms will work. What do you think the puzzles will be? Gyms have changed between games so they could easily differ from the originals.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

The first gym shown is definitely from Mossdeep City, just look at all the psychics. Plus the floating stones everywhere as well as the portals.
 
They have big shoes to fill after how amazing the gyms were in XY.

The Anistar, Cyllage, Laverre gyms were so impressive.

Would not mind if they completely redid some gyms, like Winonas.
 
The second is most likely a refined version of the gym Flannery runs. I'm only basing this of the falling/trap doors, which are like the sand pits you fell down in R/S/E, except doors make more sense to fall down than big dirt holes.

If you look in the foreground you could also see steam, which is heavily prominent in Flannery's gym.
 
I am excited to see the Sootopolos gym (Wallace) again. I loved the original puzzle as it was a nice challenge. I would love to somehow see the redone, maybe with a bit more water in the gym as it is a water type gym and not an ice type gym. I would greatly like to see the Mauville city (Wattson) and the Fortree city (Winona) gyms redone. I feel like Wattson's gym was too boring and not really a puzzle or even an interesting design. I would like to see something grander showing what a 3D pokemon gym can be. Winona's was challenging enough, but in no way represented her type. I would like to see something moving upwards, in the same fashion as the grass gym in X and Y. This could have something to do with the floating that we experienced at the badge check gate in BW, something I thought was very cool. Those are my biggest hopes for gyms in ORAS.
 
I am excited more so for this than any Pokemon Game to date, more excited than I was for the originals. I hope they do so much with the gyms.
