Yes I do agree I personally think it's a really nice touch and change of pace to make the gyms more diverse and original.
I'm really looking forward to what gym themes they'll do in future games, like a gym theme being played on pan flutes and other older instruments.
1 – GalliumGrantHaving each gym have a different take on the original was a great change and definitely brought out the flavor in the gym's type and the leader's personality.
On the subject of Dogars, I listen to 15 minute videos of it because I love love love that song, and I even learned how to play parts of it on my piano.
1 – GalliumGrantTo simply put it, each gym now has a different theme to match the type of gym it is and the personality of the leader...moreso the personality of the leader in many cases.
So this gym features a band and they play this song. The lyrics being D-o-g-a-r-s Dogars! I wonder if they'll translate it...

Think it might get Village Bridge'd? As in, left alone, Japanese intact?
Or will we get a bit of a timing edit and get K-O-F-F-I-N-G? Or K-O-F-F-I-N? |
The remixed gym themes all have my attention caught. Having each theme be different really solidifies the individuality of the gym leaders, and really seems like something that should've been done a long time ago. As for Dogars, I don't know if they should change it or not, as a version for North America and Europe would be nice. Even so, it would be hilarious as everyone (that isn't on this site) attempts to piece together what "Dogars" even is 
And now with this officially tagged as spoilers, while unfortunately keeping within the gym song limitations, I have to say I'm looking forward to Elesa's Gym, Clay's Gym, and Marlon's Gym, as well as Roxie's. The flavor they give to the look of the gyms and how much they reflect which leader...they really put a lot of effort in to this one.
Elesa's with her stylishness and the "Gimme what I need!"
Clay's with an underground/jungle vibe.
And Marlon's with a "Just chill, you're on island time" feeling.
Well, I must say I'm pretty disappoined by what they did to the music in Roxie's gym. Instead of keeping Dogars, or even switching to "Poison," they switched it to "Pokémon." I have to say, it kind of ruins the beat of the song for me...
