    You know, this makes me realize the gym leaders in big cities in-game must be exhausted with having to deal with tons of challengers, which probably justified the amount of gym trainers some of them might have. Also, I absolutely would love to spend my free time in a real life Pokémon gym and just be a groupie basically, sorta like how the anime portrays some gym leaders as local leaders and celebs.

    Wolfe, this is... absolutely incredible.
