Dark has to be one!
And I remember a bug/grass looking gym in the video...

Normal
Bug/Grass
Ground
Psychic
Fire
Ice
Steel
Ghost

(Not really in that order)

I have a feeling that Dark will finally have its chance to shine in a Gym Leader position. I'm just feeling it

I'm almost certain that there was a Bug gym in the trailer. (Didn't BW's first few screenshots show the Bug gym too? :0). There was another gym shown, but only for about a fraction of a second during the trailer; I think it is a Psychic gym since it involved a sort of warp panal. The place with the two fire pillars in the trailer looked suspicious, so it might be a gym.

-Bug
-Psychic
-Rock
-Dark
-Fighting
-Grass
-Ice
-Fire

[These are in no particular order]

Yes, there was a bug gym. The mail trainer lands on a web in a gym according to Serebii's caption. One of the pictures on Serebii also says that the GYM floor collapses on the trainer. There's sort of a starry background, which leads me to believe it's a Psychic Gym

While I can't say anything about specifics, I know for sure that's a Bug gym. It was a spider web, what else could it be? And the cooler looking one, I'd like that to be Fire.
Will this finally be the generation for Dark types to have their own gym?

I'd like to see any gyms that have been underrepresented by the games.

I like to see a new gym type (If gen 6 gets new pokemon types)

I have this feeling that either Ghost or Dark type will be last, and there will be at least one Fighting type.

I actually really love predicting gym teams, so here we go round 1

1.Bug - Vivillon/Spewpa/Surskit
2.Fairy - Flabebe/Jigglypuff/Rumored Mawhile Evolution
3.Fire - Litleo Evolution/ Darumaka / Random New Fire Type
4.Fighting - Pancham Evolution/Breloom/New Fighting Type
5.Grass - Gogoat/Sunflora/New Grass Type
6.Psychic - Gardevior/Mr.Mime/2 Random new Psychic Types
7.Flying - Final Talonflame Evolution/ Niovern/Farfetch'd Evolution/ New Pure Flying Type
8.Rock - No idea, probably all new pokemon one could be the final Clauncher evolution

Elite Four
Poison
Water
Electric
Steel

Yeah I know signs just don't point to there being a Dark type gym.

Prediction Time Round 2

1.Bug: Viola - Vivillon/Spewpa/Surskit
I think it's pretty much confirmed Viola will use a Vivillon as for Surskit I'm guessing based off the rumors it's getting a split evolution.
2. Fairy: Flabebe/Jigglypuff/Rumored Mawhile Evolution
Fairy type as the second gym is pretty much confirmed because the rumors this comes from has been incredibly accurate. Only reason why I don't think
he/she will use the new revealed fairy types is because gym leaders never use only one version exclusive pokemon.
3. Electric Clemont: Helioptile/PikaClone or Random Electric Type/ Magneton
I think it's likely to be a pokemon revealed soon since Clemont seems to be inspired by a pokemon yet to be revealed. Magneton just seems fitting for him.
4. Fighting - Pangoro/Breloom/New Fighting Type
This was confirmed by the same rumor I mentioned above. Team wise I expect this person to be similar to Maylene there's just something about Breloom I find really fitting for Kalos.
5. Grass - Gogoat/Two Unrevealed Grass Types
The first trailer showed the player swinging on vines in what now appears to be a far away town and grass seems most fitting for it. Every Generation seems to always have plenty of grass types so there's no point in predicting old pokemon
6. Rock Granite - Rhyhorn/Evolved Fossil Pokemon/New Rock Type
I find it strange they revealed an obvious rock type gym leader without revealing any rock types. Every Generation has a new rock type amid fossil I think it would be interesting to have a gym leader use an evolved fossil pokemon.
7. Pyschic - Gardevior/Mr.Mime/Malamar
The first trailer hinted at Psychic type gym. Mr.Mime and Gardevior seem French to me and Malamar is the only revealed Psychic type now.
8.Flying - Niovern/Final Talonflame Evolution/ Unrevealed Flying Type
I think having an optional sky battle gym makes sense. Niovern is the first pokemon to have Flying as its first type and regional bird is almost always expected. Flying is also like Grass type there's almost always enough.

Runners Up
Dark - There's always going to be a debate for this but I don't see this ever happening at this point because there's been no proof compared to other types.
Ice - There's a snowy part Kalos, that's proof enough.
Steel - Hopefully Clemont is this type instead but I think his hair says electric.
Water - Every Region except Johto has had one.

Elite Four Guesses
Dark - If they have another reason to not make it a gym type it must be an Elite Four type.
Poison - There's been a set of rumors they'll be the strongest type this generation.
Normal - It'd be unfair if I didn't guess one unused type.
Ice - If GF feels like being repetitive this will happen.
Dragon -Same as Dragon.
Water - If they don't make it a gym they'll give an Elite Four type.

I actually think the Elite Four will probably try to revolve around being strong against the new type, Fairy. So I'd say Poison is among it for sure. Maybe Steel.

And while it may seem strange, I think Fire may be the final gym. Fire resists Fairy types, right? Well, last rumor I head, anyways. I just assume based on the fact that we have a new type. I don't think Dark will be E4, nor Dragon.

Prediction Time Round 4

This time my predictions are based around figuring out the layout and gym order again.

1. Bug: Viola - Vivilion/Spewpa/Surskit

2. Fairy: Flabebe/Unrevealed Fairy Type/Mawhile (Mega Form)

3. Electric: Clemont - Heliopotle/Dedenne/Unrevealed Electric Type

4. Fighting: Korina - Mienfoo/ 2 Unrevealed or Random Fighting Types.
I know I'm going on a lim here but Pangoro doesn't seem fitting for her,and Lucario has been over used by fighting leaders. Her helmet is probably supposed to resemble an unrevealed pokemon though. She also still knows the key to mega evolution so she may know have an older pokemon still.

5. Grass - Gogoat/Orotto/Random New Grass Type

6. Flying - Niovern/Final Talonflame Evolution/ Unrevealed Flying Type

7. Rock - Granite - Rhydon/Evolved Fossil Pokemon/New Rock Type

8. Pyschic - Gardevior/Mr.Mime/Malamar

There will be a dark type Elite Four Member that uses Pangoro.

Let's look back on how I did;

Neat I was 100% right about Viola.
I was right about a Fairy Gym leader using a mawile didn't expect the second gym fairy rumor to be false though.
I was kind of right about Clemont using Helioptle
I was right about Korina using Mienfoo but how was I supposed to know this game would have only two new fighting types?
I was right about Granite using fossil pokemon.
Well at least the grass gym leader used a grass type.
Hey I was right about a gym leader using a Mr.Mime and Meowstic I guess that's pretty good.

Really surprised I got every Elite Four Member wrong though.
