She can't even wear a cape as cool as Lance. Poser.

No, Lance wears a ugly onesie. Lance is by far the worst Dragon leader.

Only Champions are good enough to cheat.
You have a cape? Pics or I won't believe!

Cynthia doesn't cheat, she just RNG's for perfect IVs.
I posted a pic in the last thread.

Cynthia level grinds...I believe the games imply it. Thus why she's the best.

Bah, you're just like Armstrong...you just cheated harder than the cheaters!
Are you able to fight old gym leaders or?
Also capes? what lol
e:
community thread, which game and WHATS THIS ABOUT CAPES?
In Platinum? Yeah you can rebattle the old Gym Leaders after you beat the game.

You can also do it in HG/SS. It's just kind of annoying how they do it in B/W2...

Two of those things are not like the other...two of those things don't belong.

I want to say this is true but Wallace to me will always be the worst.
I don't know who thought it was a good idea to make two champions that were focused around the same type as the last gym in their respective games but i'm going to call them a stupid head.

I can't really hate Wallace since I can't hate Water Gym Leaders. I do think it was extremely questionable to put him as the champion in Emerald, though.

That's low...it's a shame Magnezone is Gen 4, he would have owned Wallace.
Whishcash used Earthquake.

So why does
Black/White 2 get a pass for doing the same thing?
Nocturnowl

Steven would bankrupt Wallace using his rich kid money and then kick his arse in a pokemon battle to truly defeat him and leave him a broken man.
But we all know Alder is the best so yeah /unpopular opinion
As a gym leader he's fine and I like him more than Juan, but removing Steven from the champion position was an odd move in a vain attempt for variety, they could have at least done more with Wallace in the game itself if they were going to hoof him up to champion status.
Water resists Steel, and Wallace has two Pokemon packing Earthquake.

Simple,
I played Black version, I never battled Iris, should've made it Dragon wrasslin' Drayden for White 2 players.
The thing that really bothers me about Lance aside from it being a pretty boring choice is that his team has Dragonite three times which is more bland than Flint's non fire type fire team from D/P.
The thing that made Lance so intimidating in RBY his Pokemon are so uncommon, you had no idea what to expect?
Gyarados? Only time you'd see it is on Gary's team, and if you picked Charmander as your starter you don't see Gary with one.
Aerodactyl? You don't see this at all, unless you did the Old Amber detour
Dragonite? You don't see it at all, unless you Super Rod that rare Dratini and trained it 40 levels.
Then you get to GSC and the only thing that is intimidating about him is his Aerodactyl Rock Slide flinching you to death.

At least Lance tried to stick to using Dragon Pokemon or things that looked like dragons...

Steven has a hard-on for dumb rocks, so I would just trick Steven into thinking that this rock I'm holding can stop

Because G/S break their level balancing towards the later half of the game, it opens itself up from linearity but it doesn't do it very well, the game has a noticeable splitting point but with the slight freedom comes a bit of a mess regarding trainer levels that haunts Johto all the way to its pokemon league finale.
Also because she's the best gym leader, maybe, having Steelix will increase your stock with me quite substantially.
They did actually increase Pryce's levels in HG/SS.

Because Johto is fucking terrible.

No you.

No. Johto>Unova
Chet Rippo

But that's not hard, since Unova is the worst.
Yeah, Crystal was my favourite back in the day.
But it's so annoying to do in HG/SS
You have to get the gym leaders phone number first then call them during a specific day during a specific time frame.
Platinum at least you just walk into a building and can fight 3 of them once a day and it rotates different leaders in

Touche. Yea some of them...like Gary are really silly to get. Still the option is nice to have. I wouldn't mind more gym leaders bugging me on the phone...

Gen V is best Gen. Gen I or Gen IV is worst.
Aww man I love Kanto, even with its outdated gameplay.
