Agreed. I like Diantha's design, but I dunno her personality was pretty lackluster (most of the XY characters were, honestly.) Iris's just sorta there, y'know.

Female big bad when?

Sun/Moon, maybe? Let's hope.

I have a burning need for a lady boss. We've technically had two but they were anime-only (J and Giovanni's mother).

Not OP but...

I did the secret a few weeks ago about how I'm worried that remakes would screw her up...

She's totally boss, but I feel like people forget her flaws and elevate her to Perfect Queen. She's lazy, pawns off her work on others, dicks off to halfway around the world for half the year, and is perpetually indecisive.

I love her nonetheless (and REALLY hope she appears in Moon since that's what her name means yes I know her Japanese name means white shut up) but I like HER, not the fandom version of her.

...shit. That was supposed to be its own comment, not a reply to you. Sorry.

Yeah, I just think that Cynthia had the most personality out of them all. Pokemon does fall a bit flat when it comes to making rounded characters, but Cynthia was great.

I do personally prefer Diantha though. Just her design is gorgeous, the fact that she's an actor and a trainer, and that she's based off of Audrey Hepburn ... I love her so much <33

They missed a big opportunity with Diantha by not basing her on Jeanne d'Arc. "Champion of France" and all that.

I pay minimal attention to the champions. Who had the miltank? They're my fave.

Whitney (a gym leader) had a Miltank - dunno about a champion.

I guess I'm mixing up champions and gym leaders? The roll out miltank was awesome.

If by "awesome" you mean "hella annoying" haha. Yeah, it was impressive. I'll give her that. I'd say Whitney is one of *the* most challenging gym leaders in Pokémon if you adjust for the levels of the leader and trainer at the time of the battle.

I liked Adler but it was literally because he was a hot old dude.

All I know is that her outfit is AMAZING

I didn't play Gen IV, so I don't know much about her, but I hate Garchomp with a passion so I'm not sure I'm missing much. I did like Diantha enough in XY, but found her very shallow and too perfect/beautiful/sPEcIal in the anime.

[personal profile] diet_poison 2016-02-29 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Why do you hate Garchomp?

(I don't have strong feelings about it one way or another though I wish Flygon got half the love Garchomp gets but I'm curious as to why you hate it)

Late reply is late but oh well. I just find Garchomp so ugly, and way overpowered to boot, which has not gotten better since Mega evolution was introduced. I love Flygon too and I think it would have benefited from Mega a lot more than Garchomp tbh.

I think Garchomp's (non-Mega) design is p. cool but then I think a lot of Pokemon look cool including a lot of my not-faves. Agree with you 1000% about Flygon. Game Freak definitely did a lot of fan-pandering with the first few Megas they introduced and I can see why they did from a marketing standpoint, but I do think it's a mechanic that I wish they'd reserve more for the Pokemon that really need them. :|

Anime Cynthia had the same issue. She was presented as this flawless person despite being openly hypocritical and even mocking people who had just suffered a massive personal loss.

(Anonymous) 2016-02-29 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Cynthia remains the only Champion I've ever found challenging since the early days when I was playing as a 10 year old. Every single time I've gone against her, I've barely survived in one of the most challenging line ups I've ever had.

She's pretty awesome in-game too. I shipped her with older!Dawn.
