My favorite pokemon song is the little piano riff that plays while Cyntia is talking to you, before the battle starts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc0At5MXUoM

All the music from the old gens is held back by the crummy sound quality. Maybe in 15 years they'll remake B2/W2 and I can hear Colress' ridiculous theme in high quality. VVV Cynthia is a boring tryhard. Alder is the best champ. He uses three bug types! Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Sep 3, 2016 |

I don't like his battle theme much and beating him is basically just cleaning up, because the climax of the game is against Ghetsis. A cool character but as a champion he doesn't leave much of an impression. Sweet team though.

cynthia was the most fun champion to fight because she had the best team and was the closest to resembling any kind of challenge I respect alder for his correct choice of using volcarona however

The best thing about Cynthia was in B/W. I was too impatient to wait so imported the japanese version. Anyway, later on you can meet her in some house and I had no idea what she was saying and I agreed to a fight and got trashed. Also I vote Lance for shittest champion e: although his shenanigans round Johto are pretty great

Lance "Shoot a Hyper Beam into a guy's chest, hope for the best"? drat right he's the shittiest Champion, he uses 3 Dragonites.

Steven was boring AF. Cynthia is still the best. She should be in every game. As much as it will never happen, I'd love each region to have a 'Gym Leader Convention' where you can battle each and every drat gym from all the Pokemon games. Much like the BW2 World Tournament, but with more personality.

Does Red count as like an unofficial champion? When I first found him and realized who I was battling my little kid self flipped poo poo.Plus it seemed like the champion theme was made for him more than it was for Lance.

I love Cynthia, but I also love Iris. Iris is a great Champion because she wears this frilly, pink princess dress while battling you with big, dragon-like Pokemon. I like her team a lot.

So for Z-moves, does the pokemon need to actually Hold the stone to use the move? Based on the pancake it might be the case, which would make it another interesting choice between Snorlax with super move or Leftovers/whatever, and Megas wouldn't have them available, etc. Did we get official confirmation on how these stones actually work?

We know that you have to have the z stone held item attached on the Pokemon, and for the type-specific z stones a Pokemon has to have an attack move of that type at least; we don't know yet whether status moves of a type will suffice. For the Pokemon-specific z moves, we have no idea how they work, you might not actually have to have a move of the z move's attack for all we know. Furthermore it seems there are also key item counterparts to the z stones that actually are slotted into the z stone bracelet. The bracelet holds a max of six stones, which I guess is for freaks who want to have z stones attached to each one of their Pokemon despite that fact you can only launch one off per battle. And if mega evolution is in, we don't know if you can both launch a z move and mega evolve within the same match

I see the GTS is still people asking for level 100 event legendaries in return for measly version exclusives. Can I just throw something reasonable up if I'm just trying to fill a hole in the Pokedex and wait for someone to bite, or is there no hope at all?

No that works fine especially if you use like starters or Eevees or whatever. People will usually eventually bite.

The bracelet holds a max of six stones, which I guess is for freaks who want to have z stones attached to each one of their Pokemon despite that fact you can only launch one off per battle. I imagine the six slots are as much for accessorizing as anything. Which Z-stones together will look prettiest? A tough, time-consuming question. I say this only slightly ironically. also, Champions... 1. Blue - gotta give it up for him, it's such an iconic moment thinking you're done and then he somehow got there first, and he's there, taunting you. 2. Cynthia - for offering a credible challenge, and not sitting on her rear end when evil was afoot in her region, and for showing up in later games and still being totally terrifying to battle. 3. Alder - very cool guy, first meeting him when he JUMPS OFF A CLIFF to greet you, has a neat team. but it's weird because you don't battle him until the second go-around because Plasma hijacks things at that point. 4. Lance - credit for going after Team Rocket mk.2, and inspiring a massive inferiority complex in his cousin Clair. 5. Diantha - very stylish, and I like the idea that she's a fashion/film celebrity in addition to being champion, and how her ~aesthetic~ meshes well with Mega-Gardevoir. Also she might be a bit of a reference to Audrey Hepburn, so there's that. 6. Steven - meh. at least he gives you a Beldum. He got knocked over by Wallace though, which must be humiliating. 7. Iris - reused the Wallace idea, but somewhat better. Nice dress? not much else to say. 8. Wallace - the most trivial champion ever. Emerald is mostly a hard game, but he is such a chump.

I've been wanting the Cynthia Nendoroid for a while. http://www.pokemoncenter.com/nendoroid%3A-cynthia-posable-figure-703-01627 It made me sad to discover that the Pokemon Center only ships to the US and not to Canada.
