Lol.
Seems like people are letting anime Iris influence their opinion on game Iris a little bit too much.

Lol.
Seems like people are letting anime Iris influence their opinion on game Iris a little bit too much.
Looking at their movesets and not just at the Pokemon themselves, I'd say we are in for one hell of a tough time...:uhoh:
Nah. It's just because I just dislike children. And I think there were others more deserving. inb4 you're wrong
Says the guy who wanted Alder's grandson (who is also a kid) as Champion. And how exactly do you determine if someone is "more deserving" or "less deserving" anyway?Quote:

Cheren because a big part of his development in the previous game was his desire to become powerful and finding a way to go about it. Plus, it would be nice to see him achieve his dream instead of becoming the most pathetic leader since Falkner. Marshal for the same reasons as Banjirou. If he was already good enough to become an Elite 4 member without being trained by a current Champion, that it telling of his skill. Honestly, I really wanted Marshal the most, as it would be a good way to show how far the Fighting type has come.Quote:

Seriously, were there this many complaints about Caitlin being an Elite 4 Member when it was first revealed? THAT is way more BS than Iris being the Champion. Iris is the last Gym Leader in White version, at the very least. She more than deserves her champion rank.
People were more surprised with Caitlin being an Elite 4 member than anything else, since it came right outta nowhere. And really, this is all just my opinion. I don't expect it to change anyone's mind, I'm just throwing it out there, as this is a board for discussion. And I find it ironic that many still resent Wallace for replacing Steven, given how it was a very similar situation. And yeah, I know Cheren learned there was more to life than power. But it's still no reason to not try and do your best, instead of becoming a punching bag for new trainers.
Look. I don't hate Iris. I think they could have done far worse with a Champion choice (N comes to mind). I'm just disappointed by the direction the developers took here. It's not like it'll ruin the game for me or nothing.
Um, no. Becoming a teacher=/=Becoming a punching bag. Oh and it's not like as if he doesn't have any stronger Pokemon to test trainers with stronger Pokemon.Quote:

I did like that she had Haxorus with Focus Sash though.
I'm confused are you saying you beat all her Pokemon with a Liligant?????Quote:

It's so unfair on him, sure he learnt power is not everything, but downgrading him to such a weak spot is ridiculous, at least Lenora had a Watchog and a Herdier, Cheren has the weaker form of both of these. I know he's the first gym, but he could at least have a Herdier or something and have it underleveled much like Falkner's Pidgeotto in Johto
Personally, I love her new team. Initially, I wasn't quite sure what to think, since her non-dragon types didn't seem too much dragons. (Unlike's Lance's Aerodactyl, Gyarados, and Charizard who were all obviously dragons or looked similar to dragons.) I agree with the notion that much of her team shares a dinosaur theme, and I think that the mix of types should prove to be an interesting battle.
Not too far fetched. I've swept Red and Cynthia with a Starmie.Quote:
