While playing Black, I encountered a Youngster near the Cold Storage who claims to be a gym leader’s son and fights with Bug types. Is that Clay’s kid? I mean Burgh doesnt seem to be old enough to have a kid who is a trainer….

I feel you should know that this question resulted in a deeply uncomfortable conversation between me and Jim the Editor about whether Bugsy, from the generation II games, could possibly be old enough to have fathered a child, including a line about whether he is able to “produce the… requisite… y’know.”  The answer, for the record, is “OF COURSE NOT HE’S F&$#ING TWELVE”

And then I went and searched for a Let’s Play video of the relevant bit of the game from Youtube in order to look for the asshole in question and find his word-for-word dialogue, and all he actually says is “My dad is working in a Gym!  I am receiving special training there!“  So his dad isn’t necessarily a Gym Leader at all; he’s probably just some random trainer on a Gym Leader’s payroll who hangs out and helps people train, just like we see in most Gyms.

Jim: so this whole conversation was for nothing?
Me: Gonna be honest
Me: seems like

I’m replaying HeartGold atm and just got to Bugsy when I noticed that his gym is spider web-themed, like Burgh’s and Viola’s. Why does GF make bug gyms with spider web designs? Can’t they do something else? Would be cool if they made like a beehive or an anthill gym or something, imo. Whaddya think?

Well, in point of fact they did make a beehive gym – Burgh’s original gym design from Black and White, before the renovations that took place in Black and White 2.  It was not one of their better gym designs, to be honest; the gimmick was that some of the walls were made of gluey honey and you could walk through them, which effectively just made moving through the gym painfully slow.  So, in answer – they can and they have, but it takes more than a good theme to make a gym fun.
