I'm pretty sure everyone who had ever played Pokemon has thought about being a gym leader. It's the first big battle of the game and we see the reward when we win. We all have our preferred type and we day dream about beating challengers with our prized Pokemon.
So what would ur gym be. Explain the type (and reasons behind it), ur Pokemon, design of the gym and what ur gym badge will look like. You can talk about it as if u were in a game. Like when you'd encounter it and specific levels of Pokemon. Or if it was in real life, so a full team of 6.

I think that I'd have to go for an electric type gym. I'd choose that type cause of Luxray basically. Luxray would be my first and main Pokemon, like Ash's Pikachu. I'd dress kinda like Barry's dad (forgot his name). I would have my Luxray out of his Pokeball and by my side, I would use him as my last Pokemon in dire situations.
For aesthetics I would like my gym to have a lot of electricity which could be shown through glass columns. I want it to have a wild stormy look so they're could be grey clouds and a lot of crazy colours everywhere. I want it to be as exciting for my challengers as possible and want to make it similar to the wild.
My badge would be a storm cloud with lightning bolt shooting out of it. The lightning bolts will have a golden yellow outline and a white middle. The cloud will have a black outline with a silver middle to try and make it look fancy.

My team in real life would include;

Luxray @ life orb
Thunder
Superpower
Thunder wave
Ice fang
Superpower

I think in real life stats wouldn't really be as fixed as they are in the game so I would run a mix set and maybe he'll be fast?

Ampharos @ Amphaosite
Thunder
Power gem
Dragon pulse
Agility

Pretty standard set. Plus my favourite mega. I want my team to be my favourites and not OU Pokemon who will win battles. I think at the end of the day any Pokemon can win if they're raised and trained properly.

Rotom-Frost @ sitrus berry
Blizzard
Thunder
Pain split
Will-o-wisp

As u can see I'm going with a thunder theme. I decided to do this because my badge is a thunder cloud and I'm trying to go with a nature theme too.

Galvantula @ focus sash
Sticky web
Thunder
Bug buzz
Energy ball

My little spider :) one of my favourite bugs and a great sticky web user. She's always scared me cause I hate spiders but recently I love her design and think she's so strong.

Lanturn @ leftovers
Thunder
Scald
I've beam
Toxic

I've never actually used Lanturn but I've always wanted to. She's really cute and would make a great addition to the team

Eelektross @ life orb
Coil
Thunder
Drain punch
Fire punch

Loved him in black and white! He'd finish off my team!

Ok so that's me, what about u?
 
Fairy Gym, no question. Fairy is my favorite type. I love the idea of cutesy fairies beating up monstrous dragons. It would also be nice to have a male Fairy type specialist. >_>All of the Gym Trainers would be male as well, and everyone must wear pink! The Gym would be fabulous of course, but I'm not sure what that would entail. xD My ace Pokemon would either be Clefable, or Grdevoir (Because he has the Megastone)

I actually made a compettitive mono-Fairy team that I use on Pokemon Showdown. Yes, they're all OU viable for the most part. Get over it. It has beaten Mono Steel and Mono Poison teams before. xD

I'd probably use Steel types. I imagine steel types to be really defensive but can be sharp and deadly at the tip. There'll be plenty of sharp objects around my gym which gives you the choice of stabbing trainers in the back or just battle them the normal way.
Durant- one of the best Steel/Bug types ever (to play basketball)
Lucario- His typing is really unique and has a lot of options available to him
Magnezone- One of the few good steel type special attackers
Skarmory- It can last long in battle and can set up hazards
Klefki- Very useful for walls and for status infliction
Aegislash- You can practically sweep with this Pokemon at any time you want. Very useful.
 
I'd definitely go with Fairy-type. The new addition to the type chart quickly climbed to be one of my all-time favorite types in Pokémon by the way it works amazingly both defensively AND offensively. Besides, Valerie is just a huge pushover and she doesn't really show the true potential of our lil' pixies >.> I don't have a clear team in mind, but it'd definitely include a Kleki in there to annoy people (no SwagKeys lol) and my ace would be Granbull! The most underrated Fairy out there IMO. It has good stats, movepool and abilities, as well as being the 3rd strongest physical attacking Fairy-type out there behind Azumarill and Mega Mawile (that doesn't require setup, I'm looking at you Slurpuff!)
 
I've never put that much thought into it, but it would be really cool to make one. I would definitely pick Dark for the gym type because of it being my favorite Pokemon type. I couldn't decide on the Pokemon to use, because I like all of the dark Pokemon. But I'd definitely be using Zorua :3
 
I am not sure what my team would be but I would be a fire type gym leader! I have always thought that it would be cool to hand out the fire badge to people that were able to beat me in a gym battle.
 
Hmmmm. Considering my gym here isn't a mono type gym. I would have a Mono Ice Type Gym. Haha. Working with Ice types are fun despite all of it's weaknesses. The player could pick between doubles or singles. My team would include; Weavile, Mamoswine, Regice, Jynx[Singles]/Glaceon[Doubles], Mega Abomasnow, and Avalugg. <- That team is the same team (Minus the Glaceon) I used for my Mono-Type tourney. It was quit fun. :] Even beat a mono fire team with pure luck. :p

If i could run a gym and it had to be a mono gym i would have to go with rock type. I think it would be fun to use them and all the mon listed are there because i like them not cause they are the best for competition anything. Side note i just recently picked up a 3ds and got X and have not played oras yet.

1.)Tyrantrum- I picked this one because it pretty much replaced my starter in my X play through as soon as i got it. This thing is a beast and soloed the E4 and it was just love at first site.

2.)Crustle- This one is not some much the game as the show making it look bad <censored> at least i thought so. I think it would be a fun mon to use and has a pretty solid base def.

3.)Rhyperior- I always liked rhydon with the lightning rod ability, though i always thought it was kinda plan, then comes rhyperior who looks like a bad <censored> who fires rocks from the palms of its hands.

4.)Tyranitar- This one here is mostly cause it can kick some <censored> and is pretty beefy.

5.)Aggron- I remember when i first got this one, all i could think of was how bad <censored> it would be having it use take down with those large horns and solid head.

6.)Carracost- I mean come on this is a big <censored> turtle wearing armor with wide fins that look like they would just knock the hell out of some mon.
