Since Dark is the only type that has not received a gym yet, make your own puzzle, how do the trainers catch you or how do you avoid them, how would you reach the gym leader? Put your ideas here.

Anyway, here's mine, when you first walk into the gym, its pitch black with a spotlight on your character similar to walking around a cave. There are some other spotlights and you have to avoid them and reach a door taking you to a new room and continue the process until you reach the gym leader. If the spotlight catches you, a trainer will battle you, after that, you can continue on your way.

You get to play the role of a sneaky pickpocket! You have to sneak around the gym trainers trying to approach them from behind in order to snatch the keys they hold which open the doors that lead to the gym leader. If you get caught by the gym trainers they fight you and drop their key upon defeat.

I'm not sure Nintendo would approve tho
 
I like the idea of the spotlight, but maybe more along the line of the trainers holding torches, while being in a maze. But I feel my idea is a cheap knock off of something...:LOL: But going on with the topic, I would like them to be creative in the way they made a dark gym, rather than, "this spot her lights up when you fight step here".
 
I think it'd be most like Brawly's gym from RSE/ORAS with the light that just keeps getting bigger.

If we wanted something more original though, I think walking around in the darkness with traps being placed around the gym could be interesting. I imagine that'd be incredibly frustrating though.
 
Depends largely on the where and when you'll encounter the gym in the game.

Early stage gyms tend to feature simplistic puzzles where the only real "hazard" are waiting trainers. I guess the only concievable thing for them is to incorporate a darkness theme like Dewford Town.

Later stage gyms should feature false passages and trick sessions, in my opinion.
 
What about something like Brawly/ Wallace mix where when you enter it's pretty dark and then you need to go through some labyrints and stuff and fall through pits (and then it gets darker) and climb ladders and the gym leader stands in the deepest level where you can't see anything
 
Something like Dewford's or Hearthome's Gym puzzles. Or something else involving tricks since Dark is a type associated with evil forces and the mind.
 
There's a certain theme that runs across all of our major dark type trainers thus far. Karen had an air of elegance surrounding her, enough so that I called her a movie star back when HGSS was new. Sydney is a rock star. Grimsley comes from a prestigeous family and has a few vampire elements to his design.

As such, it seems Game Freak think that major dark type trainers are more likely to be popular and affluent. So perhaps initially the gym appears to be a grand manor to some sort of singer or actress or something. Possibly somewhat like Morticia Addams in design. And yet as you begin moving into the manor the lights dim, eventually going black save for a narrow band of light ahead of you, and the music changes to sound somewhat taunting. And when you reach the top of the stairs after defeating the gym trainers the lights go out altogether. A text box appears with the gym leader welcoming you into their establishment. And then the battle starts very suddenly out of the darkness!

It sounds cool in my head.
