True, but there should be an OPTION for people who LIKE to do gyms to get badges.
You've said that at least 3 times by now, we get your point.
Anyway, I think that if they stressed on certain types being the "best" that the order of the gyms' types wouldn't matter. With there being less ubers and semi-ubers of a certain type(s) parties would be more varied.
Like the matter brought up earlier about there not being enough weak Dark types. The top types are usually considered to be Dark, Psychic, Ghost, Dragon, and sometimes Steel, Ice, or Fire. Lets say they make some "just okay" pokemon with one or more of those types, or maybe release some real bad-arses of the less used types like Grass, Bug, Fighting, Rock, Ground, Poison, and Normal. Then all rosters in the game have more variety, and a situation like Flint's Elite Four Team in D/P will not arise again.
I would like to see a Normal/Ghost type or a Normal/Fighting type myself (Other than Normal/Flying types, only Girafarig and Bibarel have the Normal type as well as another type. I actually thought Girafarig was just Psychic; I could have sworm my Emerald or Platinum game said it was o.o)
