    In the fourth gen anime Cynthia's character was well done, not to mention bad ass when Paul challenged her to a battle and she beat his whole team with garchomp

      Senpai 88 Ya, or like a Z version before X and Y 's events, and Lysandre is an Admin and Malva leads, but the player defeats Malva, she realizes her mistakes and quits Team Flare and becomes and Elite Four! Sorry if I crushed your idea, it just popped up!

      FRLG was the first game I played
      Which meant I was a junior
      I sucked when facing the elite four
      And then when I saw blue, I thought it was going to be easy
      I was wrong
      And when I lost, I was too mad to do it back again

    My Personal List:
    1. Cynthia (But only just because of Platinum. She was tough, smart and just an awesome champion)
    2. Iris (She's just awesome, OK. I love her design, her battle was challenging.. and best battle music ever)
    3. Steven (He's a good champion, but his battle wasn't that memorable)
    4. Alder (He's kinda bluh)
    5. Diantha (Please.. She looks cool, but needs a load more)
    DNF: Blue & Lance (Still need to complete both a Kanto & Johto Game)

    • @sanfransiscon

      The Waterninja Matthew If you haven't completed a Johto or Kanto game, I highly suggest playing Heartgold or Soulsilver. You get both regions and fight Lance, Blue, and Red all in one game! Staggering amount of combat, and the peak of Gen 4's updated battling system that was a real turning point in making Pokemon competitive.

    @thethunderstriker9416 Před 9 lety +88

    I actually like Steven and lance for one reason: there the champion, a trainer with super powerful Pokemon, and they actually use them against the evil team. Every time I saw Cynthia I was just like "YOU HAVE A FREAKING GARCHOMP HELP ME!" But she never did. She just sat on the sidelines while I did all the work. With lance and Stephen, not only did the fight against the evil teams, you had a battle WITH them against the evil teams. IMO it would've been so much better if they had Cynthia fight with you at spear pillar instead of your rival (even though it was cool how Barry just showed up and helped you kick ass).

    • @BladeBlur
      @BladeBlur Před 9 lety +13

      I wouldn't call it slacking, the battle mechanics were at the peak and pretty much the most balanced since Gen 2, and frankly that's the most important feature to me in Pokemon. The story wasn't good, but then again listening to Hugh whining about Purloin the entirety of Black 2 was grading after a while

    • @pinkduskstone1543
      @pinkduskstone1543 Před 9 lety +6

      ***** Gen 6 is definitely the best Gen. It shows quality over quantity after the previous Gen having more species and (YMMV) less creativity. Kalos and everything in it are examples of Pokémon being an artistic masterpiece, providing elegance and its underlying strength. The battle system now has much more depth and redeemed many previously forgettable and mediocre Pokémon, especially for those blessed with the Fairy Type. The return of familiar faces (species from Kanto onwards) in Kalos blended the old with the new so well, giving the player so many options for his or her team even before clearing the game!

I loved Cynthia because she helps you and she feels like a friend. Diantha just came in a few time with Professor Sycamore and didn't really do anything. I didn't find Gen 6's story that bad, it wasn't good but at least it had the Pokemon war knowledge. Story wise Gen 5 will always be the best in my eyes. My least favourite Gen is 1. I don't have any nostalgia with it nor do I find it that fun. Gen 1 is the only Gen i dislike, I love all the other Gens.

    Should've split Iris and Alder/Wallace and Steven. They're totally different characters who battle with totally different teams and roles. Also you should've included ultimate trainers like Red in G/S/C and the game freak guy in B/W. That's ten entries and it would've been very interesting to see how you would have put that together. Overall it was a good list but it could've been better. Without the grouping of champions that had nothing in common and the omission of characters that were more challenging than the actual champions.

    For me:
    *1) Cynthia*
    Coolest by far, best team, hardest challenge, had presence in the story, killer battle music (ESPECIALLY SMASH 4 REMIX AAAAAAAHHHHH).
    *2) Blue*
    Awesome to take down, story buildup was awesome, also great team, awesome battle music, nice challenge.
    *3) Steven/Wallace*
    Held back by single-type (or at least very little type diversity) teams, but outstanding battle music, great presence in story from both, and overall great designs for both, but they're a bit easy for final bosses, no?
    *4) Diantha*
    Somewhat cool design, pretty cool team, but was a complete joke to beat. Her presence in the story was kind of lackluster, too. At least the music was still pretty good...
    *5) Lance*
    OVERRATED. Bad, single-typed team (of hacked mons I might add), boring in the story, generic design and character, but his battle music was great.
    *6) Iris*
    Only good thing about her was her battle music, which is GODLY. Other than that, horrible character, horrible champion. Bad design, bad team (Focus sash should be on no boss ever) and no presence in story.
    *7) Alder*
    Literally nothing to like about. Boring battle music, boring team, no story buildup whatsoever, and terribly designed. N should be considered the Champion of Black and White IMO, the credits roll first after beating him. N's such a cooler character too. Don't really like his team though, and his battle music is meh, but I think his role in the story and as a thought-provoking character would easily cement him the spot above Lance if he were the Champion instead of this absolute WASTE of a character.

    4. I just really like Steven. Probably because he's so snarky, yet so experienced and likable. He's also quite the stunning young male...
    3. Lance, because holy shit.
    2. He's fabulous! He's Hot! He's dressed like a thot! It's Wallace!
    1. Alder. He's such a badass. He just is. He has one of my fav Pokemon ever has his ace. I mean, come on. How often do you see a Bug-Type Champ? The highest Bug-Types have ever gotten is third Gym Leader.

      @PersonaPrime Před 9 lety +3

      Your Friendly Neighborhood Lenny ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Lance, because what? He was the least challenging Champion and you could take out his whole team with just 3 Pokemon. All you would need is a Pokemon with Thunderbolt/Thunder, a Pokemon with Surf/Hydro Pump and a Pokemon with Ice Beam Blizzard. Plus 3 Dragonites? Really? They couldn't throw a Kingdra in there?

    • @PersonaPrime
      @PersonaPrime Před 9 lety

      ***** Yes you are correct, before Fairy Types Kingdra could only get hit Super Effectively with Dragon Type moves. Which basically only dragons learn, unless you teach Gyuarados Dragon Pulse, which still won't be strong on it, because it has better psychical stats.

    Ok, we are 10yrs old, but still, it's just too much and she didn't gave that mature feeling of other Champions. TL;DR: She's just too childish.

    Every one favors Cynthia but I still prefer Lance (not siding Blue of course) Mostly because I just love how intimidating his team was. At the time, yeah he only had Dragonite but now his team is far more fleshed out and balance and he's pretty strong. But that's probably do to nostagia. Still my favorites are Lance, Cynthia and Steven in no particular order. Its just funny how these trainers who've been at this for years are all somehow dethroned by 10 year olds training for a few months. Gamefreak needs to raise the age cap on these protagonist a little.

    • @Netherwolf6100
      @Netherwolf6100 Před 7 lety

  • @RunicSigils
    @RunicSigils Před 9 lety +3

    You... Think Diantha is designed after Audrey Hepburn?
    Besides the name, Diana's eye color, Diana died in Paris and you first meet Diantha in Lumiose - the Paris of Kalos - and she has what appears to be angel wings. Some people also think she died her hair and that it was naturally brown (I don't think this is true, but whether it is or not, it could've easily been the reason behind the color choice).
    Everything about her screams Princess Diana except for the acting. However, given the introduction of the Trainer Videos and that Diana was in several shows and movies (as herself since they were documentaries), they probably just made the character that as a story reason for their inclusion.
    Using references in the anime - especially the English one - isn't the way to go. Especially considering game staff haven't confirmed any such thing.
    I could be wrong too, but Audrey Hepburn doesn't have any apparent link to France nor does her design otherwise evoke her so it would seem to make very little sense.
    Either way, stating it as a fact without confirmation is definitely not the thing to do.

    How exactly is Wallace cheap? If anything, he was the most easiest Champion because unlike the others, his entire team was nothing but mono-types/Water. I've heard of people sweeping his team with just one Pokemon, even those with type disadvantages! He's probably just as bad or worse than Diantha in terms of strength and putting him on the same or even higher level than Steven, absolutely makes no sense.
    And how is Steven's battle not memorable? When I first played Ruby, I was legitimately shocked that a character in the game who took on a mentor/older brother role and constantly helped you out, was the Champion. Not to mention, he was a challenge and in ORAS he's even more strong, especially with his Mega Metagross and the second time you face him.
    I thought this video was okay until you brought those two things up. Also, Diantha's name is pronounced Die-antha and Devon is pronounced Deh-vin not Dee-von.

  • @Galavantworks
    @Galavantworks Před 9 lety +43

    Personally I find Cynthia mildly overrated since a great deal of her character seemed really repetitive in her role as champion and it's those aspects about her character I don't find as original if not as interesting. While she has one of most powerful champion teams to date; much like Diantha it lacks a strong sense of theming and it's pretty much a collaboration of simply rare Pokemon; outside of Flint, and Aaron I find the Sinnoh Elite 4 set up just incredibly disappointing. Not bad; just disappointing.
    I mean as far as Steven's team goes; it carries along with his overall character aesthetic; was flexible with said aesthetic and ultimately made it cohesive and work. His Sandstorm team overall was almost resistant to every type; let alone how his character was established; unlike lance; Steven's role as champion was never hinted or revealed throughout the game until you faced him. Lance already had a preestablished character a game prior. While Steven was introduced as a stone enthusiast who was a sole heir to a company and was very knowledgable and wel connected trainer to boot. He established himself as an another entirely different character before revealing himself to be the strongest trainer in the Reigon. The fact he lived up to this mentor role; overcoming him as your last challenge had great emphasis on this fight because it really establishes your growth as a trainer. In a lot of ways it had that similar build-up that the fight with Norman did.

      I think Cynthia's team does have a theme, wich is myth. Think about it, moste of her pokemon are some of the rarest in Sinnoh, most of them that you won't see until you fight her, and what does she studie in archeology? Myth. Spiritomb isn't foundable without a guide, Feebas require ridiculous luck and you can still screw up at evolving it, Gible is only founded in a cave that most people didn't knew it existed until they looked up where to find a Garchomp for themself, Gastrodon is the only common thing in her team, Roselia evolve by using a rare stone, Togekiss is believed to only apear in myth in the pokemon world, Lucario is not all that better with all the aura crap. Plus, her team have max IV. Yeah, her team theme is myth and rarity, and it's normal seeing how she studie archeology.

      ***** Bingo on the characterization.
      While I think it's true that most players aren't playing for the story I think a lot of players live for the characters. You can have an incredibly weak plotline but if you have interesting characters it generally can make up for it.
      I was also frustrated by X and Y's lack of puzzles. The vast majority of gyms didn't feature any kind of puzzles just unique ways of walking. I enjoyed the strength puzzles but there weren't all that many.
      I get that this set of games was created to be more accessible to people with busy lives but I don't think they gave players enough options to fulfill other needs elsewhere.
      I don't view X and Y as bad; just forgettable. But on the positive side, I think all the work that went into Generation VI, ORAS included, should prime Generation VII to be even better. Generation VI had divert a lot of resources to such a massive graphic shift. It makes sense that other areas were lacking as a result. But the great thing about 3D models is how reusable they are.

      kisasohma11 The remakes are part of the Gen they are released in, not the original.
      They could theoretically go back and release more in those Gens if they wished because it's the mechanics and the available Pokémon that determine what Gen the games belong to. It just wouldn't make sense to.
      OR/AS has the mechanics and available Pokémon of a Gen 6 game and thus is Gen 6. Just as FR/LG were Gen 3 games and HG/SS were Gen 4 games.

    2. Cynthia: Creative design; cool theme; tough but satisfying payoff.
    3. Alder: Surprisingly not fought on the first run; strong Bugs; cool old guy.
    4. Wallace: Better replacement champ; tricky even with a full-Water team; flamboyant.
    5. Steven: Wasn't much of a challenge even with the Mega Metagross; makes his problems someone else's (killing off innocent people to stop a meteor).
    6. Gary: "It was his sled."
    I did not include Lance or Iris because I did not play the Johto games or Black 2/White 2.

    You should do a Fire Red and Leaf Green Glitch video. I'm %100 it and I think it would be cool to learn MORE about it.

    Every time I see something about a difficult part in Platinum, I just remember my first main-series adventure where I only used Empoleon until finding Dialga and Palkia. I used one Empoleon in a late-game electric gym, all of the Elite 4, and the champion. I still don't understand how I used to be so good at video games.

    I agree. Cynthia was the hardest. It took me three battles just to defeat her. But it was fun while it lasted. Also, intensity.

    One thing that Blue had going for him is his theme. I personally think it is the best Champ theme, with Cynthia's very close behind. One thing that I also love about Cynthia actually made an appearance not as a Champion in a later game that was not part of a competition like the Pokemon World Tournament or the Battle Tree. She has a summer villa in Undella town in Black and White and one of my favorite things to do is to go and battle her, because she is much more of a challenge then Alder.

    I agree with everything about Steven except for the part about his final battle. Perhaps I'm biased because it was my first game, but I always thought Steven's battle was one of the most challenging champion fights of all the games. I usually never did any extra training throughout the game, so my Pokemon were low forties when I fought him, and man, his team was lethal, mostly because of Metagross and Cradily. But that's just my opinion! I really enjoyed the video, Tamashii!

    Diantha, I forget about her after the first encounter and I honestly had no idea who she was until I fought her.
