- This play when you are challenging the Elite Four in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
To check out their battle, just click on the video cards ("!")
---
Main goal of these video concept ideas:
My main goal for these kind of videos is to be as creative as possible!
Let me explain:
- Firstly, my very first channel Mixeli (But also my latest one Volipok) post tons of Gameplays from Every Generation (Which once again was played and recorded by myself in it's entirety. It took me many years of works.)
My video have Educational Value and let me explain why: It does provide help to the user who watch the video. One of the few example for that is which musics is played from my gameplays. It could easily be found on video cards (The exclamation mark "!" you see on the video above at the right) and vice versa. (This mean that on this video for example, you could also find my actual battle gameplays of where this music is played)
- Secondly, My video are transformative enough, I took the time to play the game and recording the musics. I took the time to improve it's original quality using Vegas Pro. Thanks to a program called "Track EQ" that you can find on Vegas Pro.
This program allow the user to enhance it's original quality and further improving it. This need concentration as each version has different audio quality.
- Thirdly and as you have noticed: On each Generation, I use different background that I bought on a website called Shutterstock. (Which I have bought at least 336 pictures background, just so I can become as creative as possible and also work on a lot of different style using those background)
This kind of concept was created by myself since 2011. Today it has become one of the main concept of my channel that I personally created.
- Lastly is to bring the community together. I have noticed that so many people are commenting and giving their opinions on the video, sharing their experience about characters from the game, confirming theory, saying funny stuff and I find this extremely amazing and interesting! I don't want their comment to be unnoticed so I have plan for the future of my content about commenting and sharing their experience on videos that I will produce one day!
I think I explained everything now. Enjoy and have a great day!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All musics, gameplay and content included within this video are transformative, creative, have educational value and this recording are from my own gameplay. I'm also the one that created that concept video ideas. No copyright infringement is intended.

Thank you Ilca (Especially Shota Kageyama) for making a totally different yet fitting version from the Gym Leader. The small part from the Guitar is very epic!
Finally I can hear the difference...
Nah… I still find it lame… this should have been the Gym Theme and the Elite Four should have gotten an entirely new yet familiar theme. Honestly at this point only DeNa gets the whole praise from me for their battle themes. Not only do they give all trainers that didn’t have a theme before one, no they go and give each Elite Four Member a own version of their theme and even the likes of Archie and Maxie als well as Steven and Wallace get their own version, even Red and Lance. These guys got it and oh yeah do they got it right.
Shota Kageyama brought a small doze of "Pokemon Masters Vibe" to the Sinnoh E4 Battle Theme. Even though I wish they would add more, I really find it to be really good.
@@blackglurakx2409 no

"Sinnoh's Elite Four theme is boring, it's just the Gym Leader theme but at a lower pitch"
The Guitarist: Allow me to introduce myself.
Idk, it's still kinda underwhelming, it doesnt have the intensity of the other regions
Actually it always has been my fav Elite Four theme!
@@AnchorOfTime because there’s not that many fire types
@@skysunder9781 you have my like
Though, between the original versions, I preferred the lower pitch one.
Over the years of playing Pokemon I learned that no Elite Four theme is complete without those guitars
What about Unova's tho, that slaps guitars or no
@@aksis2133 oh yeah definitely. The Unova Elite Four theme is actually my favourite Elite Four theme. I think it has instruments that represent all four of its members well
@Aksis21 @Josh Grant Yeah, Totally agree 😎👍
sword and shield doesn't have guitars, although it's not exactly e4
Uh Hoenn
Welcome to sinnoh. Allow me to introduce the 4 heavenly kings: Bug catcher, kinder/nicer version of agatha, Ronald Mcdonald and the magician
Kings and queen*
Nah, Bertha is more sadistic than Agatha. Back in the day I called her the “BIG BAD BERTHA” because I was stuck on her a lot
nah the last on is just Shauntal's biggest fan for her novels because you always see him read a book
@@Sorbetrhedd Actually, no, they're right.
Japanese's official name of Elite Four is "Four Heavenly Kings" (even if all were females)
This is a reference to 4 guardian deities in Buddhism, presiding over the four cardinal directions. The other Japanese name is *The Big Four,* which doesn't sound nearly as epic.
@@Oscarus4250 the big four is intimidating tho
It only takes flint a few rematches to actually understand the concept of fire!
to be fair, his team with less fire types is way scarier as its more balanced and harder to fully counter, that drifblim minimize+baton pass into infernape combo can be such a run killer
@@HaxeRain True
That’s an evolution of humans. We need to have patience to use fire
his first team is actually very fire based, just not fire type.
Driftblim is a hot air ballon
Steelix? you need hot fire to smelt steel
lopunny... uh yeah. just hot.
@@thebravegallade731 the amount of fur i guess, to keep it a family friendly reason
When facing Flint, do yourself a favor: TEACH A POKEMON TAUNT.
Nah fam rockslide/earthquake Garchomp go brrrrr
Drifblim be like
Infernape flamethrower was a good counter for drifblim
*if it hits of course*
Idr what Pokémon i used but it was definitely either my Dialga, Mew or Jirachi who led that fight. Because they all knew atleast one move that would have been super effective
@@rapbear8429 haha but im torterra gang with good atk EVs
Finally you can actually hear the difference between the Gym Leader theme and the Elite 4 theme
The gym leader theme was higher in tone compared to the Elite 4 in the original right?
@@vastisamehadach.9528 Yes, it was.
Yup ;)
@@vastisamehadach.9528 wish they would do that again. Such a neat idea from Hitomi Sato.
@@datmilkyman424 more like lazy…
This has more fire in it than Flint's team lmao
well, thats not exactly hard to accomplish....
Until you rematch him, he has his Platinum team
@@MariOmor1 oh really, cool. I havent gotten them yet, but soon.
To be fair, he set the bar very low
I just bursted out laughing reading this
I love how everybody expected the Gym Leaders/E4/Champion to be nerfed in the remakes but instead they were buffed. This might just be the hardest E4 in all of Pokemon
Well, sadly they nerfed the entirety of the midgame because the Exp Share overlevels you.
@@m.m.2341 the permanent exp share does prove itself to be kinda necessary once you get to the E4 lol (talk about a level spike). I’d say the main thing that makes the game easier though would be affection, which doesn’t have a cap in this game to keep the effects from kicking in.
@@CaptainObliviousV You almost need affection to beat Cynthia, though. I battled every trainer and did quite a bit in the Grand Underground. My team was between Level 60 to 67 when I started the League and I honestly felt underleveled.
@@LinkMountaineer
I managed to sweep the entirety of the Elite Four with mostly my Level 70 Swords Dance Garchomp, which I grinded up on purpose. I also destroyed most of Cynthia's team in the same fashion, but her Garchomp outsped mine, which I believe is due to EV-training and a +Spd nature (I EV-trained mine in Spd, but I didn't have a +Spd nature) I managed to pull off a win by having Luxray and Staraptor repeatedly Intimidate her Garchomp, as well as whittle her down with priority moves and Staraptor's Endeavor. A good amount of Revives and Full Restores were consumed, to say the least. Yes, I beat the Elite Four on my first run, but this is probably the toughest Elite 4 in the franchise, but maybe my inner Sinnoh fanboy is blinding me.
@@LinkMountaineer yeah, I didn't have a problem with the elite four, probably because I prepared for each, but Cynthia I struggled with because of her Garchomp, I easily beat the rest of her team but then Garchomp sweeps my team
Flint then: “Haha metal snake go brrrrr…”
Flint now: “Go on. Laugh. You won’t be laughing when my Steelix hits you with a sheer force + life orb boosted Fire Fang.”
That Driftblim tho
Sheer Force Life Orb and Sun-boosted Fire Fang
@@ILikeKirbys yea if that Rapidash gets to set it up at least.
Me one shooting steelix : It's that all ? 😂
@@adam622500 Iron fist and focus sash infernape: dont you underestimated my power mortal
The Only Elite 4 where everyone is smiling🙂
The more you know 🧐
Even Cynthia smiles. They sure are a happy group
@@Controlqueen31 Oh for sure. Happy to beat dat ass lol
They are probably cracking up after Tobias didnt got pass Aaron to this day *just some wishful thinking*.
@@virtualcolt i mean, they are the elite four. They are the four most powerful trainers of a region apart from the champion. IG they have responsibilities to protect the region from threats like Dialga or Kyogre (even though we never see them doing it in the games)
@@delbertwang8722 Well, not even, right? The Frontier Brains, for example, are waaaay tougher than the E4 and champion, even counting rematch teams. And there are other instances where the rivals also beat the E4 but lose to you, making them stronger than the E4 and weaker than the champion
Who's idea was it to have Flint's Drifblim get Minimize and let it Baton Pass into Infernape? Because that literally almost ended my first run of the Elite 4, like jeez
Lol , that shit was scary asf man.
Happened to me too! thankfully I hit with Rosalina´s (Guardevoir´s) Psychic
this is why aerial ace is your best friend.
@@rogue1248 Or Shock Wave
My Luxray just ate the close combats with a few potions, then i spent like 4 turns trying to land a thunderbolt, only to learn i needed to land 2 because full restores. I did manage that somehow
This is an improvement by default due to actually being more than a key change of the gym leader theme.
I’m gonna say it, I like this more than the original.
Fact
hi Giratina
One thing you never have to worry about in any Pokemon game: THE SOUNDTRACK, it never disappoints :)
I love that they made this theme more distinct from the gym battle theme. Back then the differences between the two weren’t as easily noticeable
"Weren't as easily noticeable"? The only difference was the key they were played.
It kinda saddens me that the Elite four don't have their Platinum team at first, but dang, the music is a BIG improvement compared to the original.
But their first teams are no pushovers whatsoever. If you come in their thinking that you’re the shit, well you’re in for death and destruction. Especially from Aaron’s Heracross and Flint’s Drifblim
@@dmann5938 Of course not, I just think their platinum teams are much cooler~
Get over it buddy.
its better that they do use it than not have it at all in the rematch. besides this gives it more diversity, things you wouldnt expect from Elite trainers. plus it gives the Elite in Elite four an actual reason because despite deviating from the typing, *they know how to efficiently use those Pokemon to reflect their type specialty*
@@lyonvensa eh, after going through it and the rematch, i gotta say, in flint case specially, his diamond team is waaay scarier than the platinum one, as in the type diversity makes it much more harder to counter and in turn making it a much fun and challenging E4 than usual, even more so thanks to the revamped movesets with proper IVs, EVs, natures and held items
For anyone new to this Elite 4, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THEM. These guys are the toughest in the franchise and have teams that can run circles around you.
And they made them even stronger in the remake and dont even start on cynthia she left me traumas
@@marcovalbuena3107 same
Honestly these guys will curb stomp you if you’re not ready
@@marcovalbuena3107 Bruh, I got lucky on her. My team was 6 levels lower and Garchomp almost got me had my Floatzel not frozen it with ice beam.
Imagine beating Cynthia with three different teams on your first playthrough, with it getting progressively harder. Imagine the sheer WILLPOWER it'd take to be a fool to have played Diamond excited for the remakes, then have fun by raising post game teams to beat the league with- after using your main story team. Even going as far as specifically choosing Kricketune to Perish Song a Level 88 Garchomp as your Greatest Plan.
I'm uh... talking about me. I was that fool. It was a lot of fun though. I felt so accomplished that my teams brought me to tears of absolute JOY. Also, the Kricketune plan worked out so well. But, I was definitely unprepared. I wanted to go in without knowing anything. I knew the DP teams, but, wasn't expecting to have my cheeks clapped. That stupid Drifblim can burn!
Main Story:
Torterra (Grousiin)
Luxray (Sparky)
Floatzel (Swez)- Kind of a reference to the word "Swag"
Absol (Disaster)- No reference, I just was bad at naming my Pokèmon in 2012
Houndoom (DoomFlame)- Reference to the typing of Houndoom, Fire/ Dark; also portmanteau of "Doomsday" and Flame".
Dialga (Tymelor)- Pun on the name "Tyler" and word "Time Lord"
Post Game Team 1:
Lucario (Demetrius)
Glaceon (DeepFreeze)- Reference to the Ice type
Mightyena (Taikezy)
Arcanine (Ellie Rose)- Reference to Fleeing the Complex/ The Henry Stickmin Collection
Furret (Mocha Cookie)
Lanturn (Xefiro)
Post Game Team 2:
Skuntank (Setoro)
Kricketune (Zykrindia)
Empoleon (Kallian Antiqua)- Reference to Xenoblade 1
Typhlosion (Biron)- I guess a reference to Canalave Gym Leader Byron?
Flygon (Vidogonis)
Froslass (Franziceska Von Karma)- Reference to Manfred Von Karma's Daughter, Franziska Von Karma; Also is a pun of the name "Franziska" and word "Ice".
And yes, my Diamond team was similar to the main team of Brilliant Diamond, but, with a Lucario instead of Absol and a Honchkrow named after Arsene Lupin, The Gentleman Thief and Pillager Of Twilight. Mainly referencing Persona 5, but, that one also references Maurice Leblanc's Gentleman Thief, Arsene Lupin.
Who was the madlad at ILCA that made that god damn Drifblim baton pass 3 Minimise Boosts onto a god damn Infernape, I wanna know.
Someone who knows actual pokemon battle strategies.
The theme of:
Beautifly used Quiver Dance!
Heracross used Facade/Rock Slide!
Drapion used Night Slash/Cross Poison! A CRITICAL HIT!
Quagsire used Recover!
Sudowoodo used Head Smash!
Golem used Rock Polish!
Rapidash used Hypnosis!
Steelix used Iron Tail!
Drifblim used Minimize!
Drifblim used Strength Sap!
Drifblim used Baton Pass!
The foe's Infernape avoided the attack!
Mr. Mime used Reflect!
Mr. Mime used Light Screen!
Girafarig used Trick Room!
Medicham used High Jump Kick!
Alakazam used Nasty Plot!
Bronzong used Trick Room!
Bronzong used Gyro Ball!
The pain
The minimize of Flint's drifblim still haunts me in my nightmares, no joke man, that baton pass with minimize to infernape is such a brutal combination especially because that infernape knows things like close combat, flare blitz and thunder punch
Deadass almost cried when i saw flint had a focus sash on his infernape.
THIS ACTUALLY ISN'T A PITCHED DOWN GYM LEADER THEME ANYMORE BEST UPGRADE.
That said: PSA: THIS ELITE FOUR DOES NOT SCREW AROUND. Even if we joke about Flint's team not having Fire-types in his initial fight, let me say: DRIFBLIM.
I think his teams based off Fire type moves than their Pokemon types . Drifblim does has will-o-wisp move.
I caught a Clear Smog Psyduck in the beginning of my playthrough for the sole purpose of defeating his Drifblim/Infernape combo. Worked to a T.
basically have moves that bypass accuracy and evasion. so for Drifblim, have Shock Wave.
I ditto'd him with my own Drifblim. Two Shadow Balls and BOOM, no more Difblim
I almost threw my Switch at a wall fighting that FUCKING DRIFBLIM.
Now I’m waiting for Unova Remakes just to listen to that thriller of an elite 4 theme
Just listen to the Pokemon Masters verison, they went the extra mile and composed unique themes for each elite 4 member.
@-Redacted- Bread as well?
@-Redacted- Bread Not that I care of.
My man that will be epic I swear ❤️🔥
Tbh, I be perfectly fine if they skip gen 5 getting a remake because they already perfect games in my opinion. Plus, they age really well for anyone to get into.
Now THIS is an Elite 4 theme
Just one day, i hope that we get a Normal Type user in the Elite Four. Somebody whos like cynthia tier difficult but with normals. Knows how to handle coverage and doesnt just get instaswept by close combat.
There are enough terrifying normal types for that to happen for sure.
Indeedee, Porygon Z, staraptor, Snorlax, Pyroar all would be great.
Hisuian Zoroark would be excellent too
@@joshe138 Slaking
Huge power/jolly max EVs and IVs in speed and attack of slaking
@@chrisbenoit583 Really didn't need that nightmare fuel
@@terrance3218 give it choice band and giga impact
Allow me to introduce the elite four
No 1:Bug trainer/the jungle book protagonist
No 2:cute and calm grandma
No 3:Our minecraft item that got separated from steel
No 4:The coolest guy in my opinion/the librarian
Finally!! After all these Years, it’s easier to tell the difference between the Gym Leader theme and the Elite Four theme without having to listen carefully
In all seriousness, I’m glad they made it sound more different by adding guitars to it. Thank You ILCA.
What happened to Gen 3
@[ Q_Frogii ] That one has its own theme
Main Story: Your usual DP Team with usual flaws in team building.
Rematch 1: Platinum Team
Rematch 2: Completely new
In the first battle, at least, they have much better movesets and even Hidden Abilities (like Flint's Infernape's Iron Fist)
Platinum team enhanced ;)
My entire team was platinum dex Pokémon in the main story except for my Infernape
Fair assessment for the first battle when it comes to species, but even in this fight they have vastly improved toolkits from DP.
This is literally my favorite elite four theme. It’s intense but not chaotic sounding. I just wish the base was louder at 0:05 like in the original. But besides that it’s very catchy. Most elite four themes are very chaotic sounding and hard to remember the melody but this one is so clear and catchy.
This theme fits really well with Flint considering he only has 2 fire types at your first battle lol
Thank you Flint for making me feel 9 again by having it take 15 minutes to beat your minimizing strength sapping Drifblim baton passing to your Infernape.
Flint: *baton passes minimize into Infernape*
My Kricketune with Aerial Ace: “I have no such weakness.”
I never played DPP or BDSP but I'm just glad I'm not the only one who thinks Flint looks like Ronald McDonald 😅
I didn't before, but now I do!
@@hannahc3317 I like his german name actually more because it represents his type!
Ignaz!
I remember being bummed at how easy the game was. And then came the Elite 4, jesus christ..
They definitely saved the best for last.
Ngl, it only makes me feel worse about the state of the game
Imagine how challenging the new Elite Four would've been if they kept Platinum's mechanics
@@fansee1368 You would wish Pokémon Perfect Platinum or whatever you wanna call it is a think don't you
That's called poor difficulty balancing. When the devs added EXP ALL, it caused such a problem they only bothered fixing up the elite four for nostalgia, and leaving everything else the same.
Oh my god... These fools were so hard to kill tho. Especially Flint and Lucian.
Basically, my strategy was set up, then sweep. But Flint and Lucian just did NOT let me.
That Rapidash just spammed hypnosis and almost ruined me. I only survived because my Chimeco was being an anime protagonist, evaded an attack while sleeping, AND woke up on the same turn, finishing that annoying fire monkey off. I'm lucky I had one shot his balloon, otherwise... Yikes.
And Lucian just would not stop setting up screens. And when his clown did go down, he sent out fricking Girafarig, and ruined me with trick room, using my own Sticky Web against me. It was awful. He almost swept me.
Lucian setting up those damn screens was so annoying. Also for some reason his bronzong was faster than my rapidash who had already set up two flame charges.
I kinda just calm minded with jirachi until the screens came off because mr mime couldnt do anything anyway but that sounds rough
The most stressful elite four I ever faced
i think for the first time ever in a pokémon game i was genuinely terrified facing each elite 4 member
Flint's team includes only 2 fire type, but :
- Steelix is made of steel, forged in heat
- Drifbloom is a HOT air balloon
- Now think about Lopunny.
Lopunny is the only Pokémon in the game that is used as a substitude for the main type I think is a real strech. I know what could be the reason. I just think the reason is dumb.
I forgot he had lopunny. It was a lopunny showdown. I won.
Lopunny's fur would retain heat pretty well, I... guess? Yeah, even a Breloom would struggle to stretch that far.
When Ronald Mcdonald only has 2 Fire types...
Just wait until his rematches.
Third rematch : 6 fire type and ninetales Drought 😂
Out of the four, Bertha gave me the most trouble. After the fight with her, half my team was fainted, and the other was battered to hell and back.
In DPPt she gave me Hell lmao them Ground/Rock types ain’t no joke if you’re not prepared lol
I think that Quagsire would have ended me without my Lopunny and Solar Beam
@Voltify That Whishcash was made to counter Torterra, yikes
imo this is the most underrated pokemon theme - not the best by any means but a huge improvement over the original just because of the guitar alone, really really nice
I absolutely love the Elite Four theme in Diamond and Pearl. This is even more epic.
I like the change in key that makes this significantly different than the actual Gym Leader theme! It tells you "This is it! Don't give up!" :)
I agree!
God, when I heard tis song live on my stream, I was shocked how good of a theme this has been. I really hoped they would do a atleast very different feeling song from the Gym Leader one.
and they delivered... hard
I really love the guitar in that. Like AAAA im just such a sucker for Electric Guitars
The bug-guy with his Heracross was hard for me. I came confident because I had a higher level and he broke my ass like 4 times ._.
The ilca guys did a very good job with the difficulty of the game, love this remake♡
Aaron not bug guy
But I call him TinkerBell
I knew I was in for a really tough fight against Cynthia when I was having quite bit of trouble with the Elite Four
tell me about it. I even had an underleveled team and struggled hard
Least they actually did something to differentiate between the two other than Dean Norris and Mean Norris
Ahh yes! The Murder 4! went in blind and had a way tougher time than i remembered and then found out they had been buffed! and naturally Cynthia demolished me. Good times!
Did a steel Mono run
Even with only 2 fire types, Flint was an absolute beast to face.
Empoleon definitely helped a lot but the High Jump Kicks from Lopunny was Annihilating my team left and right and don't get me started on the Infernape
Ah the "Infernape demolishes your team while he dodges everything because of Drifblim" theme
They did not need to go this hard, I didn't know this theme could get better
The whole OST sounds like the anime and I love it
not true..
I give to you

That fucking drifblim baton pass into infernape….
They did a good job with this theme. They made it stand out more from the gym leader theme. In the originals there were slight differences but it wasnt very noticable.
Still one of the most epic pokemon battle themes ever hands down!
Apparently Volkner was supposed to be in the Elite Four. I believe he would have replaced Aaron's spot.
On one hand it’d be kinda sad not having a bug E4 member (though tbf we actually don’t have an electric one yet), but at the same time it’d be dope to see a bug specialist as the 8th gym leader
I don't think, Bertha would make more sense since she is already an elderly woman soon it would make sense for her to retire from being an elite four
@@luisfillipebeserra2108 Volkner tells the MC in Pokémon Masters
THE CLOSEST to the anime as they'll ever get the music in the games imo
My boi flint doesn’t need fire types when he has that baton pass driftblim
This does a much better differentiating itself from the gym leader theme this time. Excellent use of the harmonic chords with the e guitar.
Galar Champion Leon would be in some serious trouble going up against these people especially since Sinnoh champ Cynthia is a literal monster lmao
godamn 99.9999999999% of the game's difficulty is here. guts heracross with flame orb, recover leftovers quagsire, minimize baton pass drifblim?
"Alright, let's do it! You're a groovy little dude, so...before we battle, let's dance!"
-Flint, Diamond and Pearl Adventures manga
Honestly as lazy as it seems it's cool that the themes, especially the original ones, were so close between the gym and elite four themes
It's really fitting, especially since elite four are really strong gym leaders, I like how the tone difference implies that
One of the few remake songs that are better than the original. Kudos to the sound team on this one! :D 3:11's gotta be my favorite part.
Sooo glad that the trumpets are back!!
Ah yes, the teenager, the grandma, Ronald McDonald and the copy of Will (or just the booker) are back.
The toughest Elite Four in the series. Happy how they turned out. One of the few blessings from the remakes.
1:26 for the quagsire standoff
I really liked this version, but I prefer the original because of the bass. In the original version the bass chorus is sensational.
Welcome to sinnoh's pokémon league! We have:
The Bug Catcher
Agatha's sister
Ronald McDonald
Bronzong's only fan
Bronzongs only Fan!!! I love it! 😂
That shiny QUAGSIRE tho 🔥
Bruh, screw that Drifblim on flints team, with the baton pass at +6 evasion. I literally couldn’t hit the infernape with any move for a full 10 turns
flint baton passing to infernape after using minimize with his drifblim still gives me nightmares
I just did my first Elite Four run overnight, my mons are between Levels 50 and 60 or whatever and what made me lose was Lucian’s ALAKAZAM AND DRIFLIM HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL
Me: okay, this should be easy. Aaron uses bug types, so Rapidash should be fine.
Aaron: *kills Rapidash with Dustox*
Me: well, I'm f*cked.
Yeah, just get a Houndoom from the Grand Underground. Namely the Volcanic/Dazzling Cave. That canine is a powerful fire breathing dog that can think bad thoughts to boost its Special Attack.
Somehow Chimecho carried that first fight for me
My Absol knowing Flamethrower was the one that saved me from Aaron but wow that Drapion almost ended me
I see this theme getting millions of views over the time
The outfits the elite 4. In Gen 4 wear are so casual compared to Gen 5 s elite 4 outfits
To think calling your infernape Luffy would, in hindsight with what is happening in the manga right now, be this fitting is hillarious.
This is so much better than the original holy moly.
Round 1 & 3 were def the hardest ones for me
Round 1 was hard because I was NOT prepared for them to have max EVs and IVs. I made sure my team was on their level and a bit lower.
Round 2: i was better prepared, I reset my teams Evs, caught 2 new members and Ev trained them after i got the power items and i was closer to cynthias level and didnt struggle much
Round 3: i only leveled some of my team members a few levels higher but they were around Aarons level. Plus i was not expecting them to have different mons
Cynthia is by no means a pushover. She'll def push you down a cliff but man am i glad i finished it
I can't fully express how HAPPY I am that Game Freak put Ronald McDonald in Pokémon.
This slaps harder than Cynthia's Garchomp
I guess you can say Flint didn't have the "Spark", and he lost his "Burning" passion that once "Scorched" all challengers who dared challenge him. 😅
The best elite four of theme of all pkmn games.
Even on replays, that initial 15s of build up still gets me hyped.
When I got up to the elite four I thought “well this theme is just gonna be the gym the-“ I hear the guitar and damn that theme caught me off guard and it hyped me up-
…Then I got to Cynthia
Wow! Looks better more than gym theme!!! 😍🤩
I went into the flint fight under leveled thinking this should be a cake walk. I forgot he had a drifblim and once that thing set up with minimize, then baton pass to infernape and I actually blacked out to him.
Gotta say, fitting and intense theme for what is literally the hardest Elite Four in history.
Say what y’all want about big types but Aaron and vespiquen literally ate in masters
The “Yanmega used Detect” theme
My team going into this was one of my worst teams yet. Infernape, Manaphy and Roserade were cool. I had Ryhorn which was OK but I was annoyed I couldn't evolve it into Rhyperior. I had planned on using other cool pokemon but bdsp won't let you have nice things and I ended up using my placeholder Pachirisu and Palkia because I had nothing else.
Man that Pachirisu came in handy. I really needed that paralysis. I hardly used it all game, just had it level up with the EXP share and it came in last minute to save me
I'll be honest, Aaron's Drapion in the rematch is reason I can't sleep at night
When you finally hear the difference 100% but you still only see 40% fire type pokemon on flints team.
I still wonder why in the hell did they think it was a good idea to include an elite four member that specializes in fire types in a region where there's only 2 fire-type species available (not including post-game).
This brings back unpleasant memories, Aaron was easy, but Bertha, she almost destroyed my team(all weak to ground) and Flint with the damn Driftblim. Lucian wasnt that hard if it werent for the fact that I had to repeat the battle cause I forgot to save and walked on Cynthia almost dead.
I still want to know what is Agatha (Kikuko) and Bertha (Kikuno) relationship.... Are they twins?
That moment where the E4 starts using some neat strats.
