Gym leader (EntityClass, 8)
From Compile Worlds
Gym Leaders are a type of (usually) very powerful Pokémon Trainers. They are succeeded by the Elite Four and Champion, and proceeded by normal trainers in terms of trainer hierarchy. There are exactly 8 in each region (though Hoenn and Isshu have partner/triplet matches and version-specific alternatives), and each one specializes in one type of Pokémon (the only exception being Green). Sometimes Gym Leaders have great prestige, and others just fail. Gym Leaders usually tend to train their Pokémon to high levels for the area. They hand out badges to those whom defeat them. Acquiring 8 of these badges allows a trainer to face the Elite Four and Champion of the region. Having 16 (8 from two regions) allows the trainer to go to Mt. Silver and face the Pokémon Master. While Gym Leaders have to pass a test issued out by the Pokémon League, it is not actually clear weather Gym Leaders are actually part of the league. If they were, that be a load of bullshit anyway.
