Brock for rock, misty for, well, misty, dawn for again dawn lol, iris for those huge round iris' she actually has,who knows how many more lol

---

I mean that make sense. Brock for rock makes sense, cuz he's a rock type trainer. So does Misty. If you can prove Iris....

---

Wait nvm bout Iris

---

All gym leaders names are supposed to sound like their type/something to do with their type.

No one bothered putting Cilan, Cress, and Chili.

Answer 1

Besides Ash there's,

Brock = B rock (Rock
Misty = Mist y (Water)
Byron = B yron (Iron)
Roark = Ro ar k (Rck)
Candice = Cand ice (Ice
Volkner = Vol kner (Volt - Electric)
Gardenia = Garden ia (Grass)
Maylene = (I'm Guessing) May lene (Lean??? Anyway... Fighting)
Bugsy = Bug sy (Bug(s))

Their fun to seek out and helps you memerize their types and stuff...

(P.S. Even my name here has a pun... vvvvvv)
Hyper Flares = Hyper Flares (Dragons breath Fire) <<<< XD
Every Gym Leader has something about them that matches their type.

• Hyper Flares
  Master of Dragons

I can use my trusty frying pan...
As a drying pan! :D

*Technically a name pun.

Olympia(Psychic since the name Olympia is like the greek Olympus)

---

on bulbapedia it says that almost everyone with a type specialization has a name pun, such as Erika (actually a plant genus) and Giovanni (geology)

Answer 2

I'm gonna have to answer after Hyper Flares with..
Tracy Sketchit = Sketch it
Lt. Surge = surge as in a surge of electricity
Geo has to do with ground, Giovanni (pronounciation varies depending on region and culture) is a ground leader
Norman from gen 3 = Norman, Normal
Almost all gym leaders have names like this, as Hyper mentioned.

I suspect that May may have gotten the name because of what it means, pretty much chance. And she entered a lot Pokemon Pokemon Contests, which can take some luck.
