Thread: Gym Leader/Elite 4/Champion Discussion

Well, better than Lenora or Straiton trio. I do admit her new design is pretty nice.

Darn the TSG chat section for spoiling Iris is the champion.

The anime forum is going to explode if this ever carries onto the anime.

Does this mean that you find Alder later on in a secret area all super leveled up like Red and Steven in gens 2 & 3?

The anime forum's going to explode over this, even if it's only limited to the game canon lol.

There's no chance of Drayden and Iris being switched between versions, perchance?

Drayden would have been the best champ. Maybe they saw him as too attached to one type to diversify to other Dragon-like Pokémon.

I'm so fucking happy!!!!

No. Drayden is the gym leader in both versions.

Considering you battle him very early on, they might opt out of making him to be this powerful "final boss" later.

Watch as it's N.

I'm a little annoyed right now. There was like no build-up, nothing indicating that she was even interested in becoming Champion. She was even training to become a gym leader in Black (while already a gym leader in White), and now she's suddenly the Champion. This sort of reeks of Mary Sue, to be honest.

Then again I suppose this like when Wallace became Champion in Emerald, so whatever.

I KNEW IT!

Totally guessed/ hoped that Iris would be Elite 4/ Champion. This is so awesome!

OH... MY... *******... GOD...

I thought that they would just shove Iris away, I did never expect this...

I'm crying. I'm seriously crying. IN JOY.

Maybe there is some indication of it, or a better explanation of it, in the course of the game. We're kind of lacking in story details right now, since the players have only been posting important points and really rushing through the game.

Interesting Iris becomes the champion. Logically it would be the other way around where Drayden would be the Champ while Iris takes over his duties, but this makes it very interesting indeed. Also, I don't find it odd that some of the Gym Leaders didn't have updated appearance, since I am sure some people prefer to have the same clothes even after two years. I mean, take Clay, for example: does he have time to choose something different to wear?

Thanks for reading.

WTF Iris the Champion... XD
I... I was really shocked... I really hoped for Hilbert/Hilda... why Iris? if anything, it'd make more sense for Drayden to be the Champion and for Iris to be the Gym's permament Leader...

Oh, fuck yeah! That's awesome! It'd make more sense for Drayden to be Champion and have Iris running the Gym, but I can't care at the moment. One hell of an 'apprentice becomes the master' story, eh? What won't be awesome is all the whinging to come, especially when more animé-watchers hear about this.
