Honestly yeah, a slight team shift and she could have been far stronger, I said this before on another post but with her design and hair and I feel like if Geeta started with her ace, it could step up poison but can you picture if she ended it with a shiny Kingambit? Not only does a Kingambit have similar features to her but it would be the first Champion with a Shiny as well. Plus with it's ability to get stronger with each pokemon lost it could very well be very very strong and you would remember it.

No, her biggest offense is being a jerk to the gym leaders

​@@ejnagatoshi8551THIS! Very much this! Thank you for saying it! Geeta has a very strict point of view about power and strength that keeps everyone stressed, that alone makes me despise her... but after being fed about their behavior, I get to finally battle her and... and... she is weaker than a Youngster?! Oh, now c'mon!!!

​@thiperativo I understand the view on gym leaders. They have to be tough, they have to live up to the name of gym leader. You really think Brock only has a level 10 geodude and 12 onix? Thats rhetorical you don't have to answer that.

@@jetsettech8804 See... the thing is... I do believe League members need to represent a challenge, ON THEIR OWN ACCORD and unique way. But Geeta forbids Larry to be a Normal Type Elite Four member, because SHE thinks Normal isn't suited for the challenge of an Elite - her prejudice is very clear and I won against her with a full Normal Type just to add insult to her defeat! And it's not just about how she treats the leaders and elite members... because she, herself, isn't strong to represent the League or say anything about them, but she constantly impose this problematic idea of strength (that she does not apply for herself)! I was expecting her to be really tough, after all of that - but when I finished the battle for the first time I realised that she probably does it just to be mean, not because she believes in it.

Plus her and the other two synch well.bthe last mission felt like a anime adventure. She have a quirk and personality and good backstory Barry just lame kid that drank too much red bull

Experienced rivals that pick the starter weaker to you and basically start all over not using her best Pokémon Yea sure

@@RaspyCh She did that on purpose to give you an advantage

I like this saying because it brings to mind that a lot of Pokemon fans are older and have played previous games, therefore also do start over andso we see some of ourselves on her.

I feel his plot line was played out of order or was supposed to be different all together. The look he has when preparing for battle and when throwing the pokeball along with how menacing his battle theme is seem to imply that something much more dire was supposed to going on at the moment! Or maybe I'm just reading into it too much...

Bro this is why I hate Rose...his plot is so god damn stupid!

@@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions I think maybe they either wanted his energy issue to be immediate but backed it up to not freak out audience members, or on the alternate end for Rose's plan to only have preserving Galar's energy as a front for something more sinister he had planned, like older villains, wanting to be taking the power of the Pokemon for himself.

It's like they wrote that Regieleki entry just to sh*t on Rose. XD

At least he's given a backstory in one of pokemon's short anime series... His father died in a coal mine accident, so not only does he want to solve a future energy crisis but he also just want all dangerous forms of energy production gone ASAP!

I'mma screenshot this comment so I can save it for my fanfiction. I've been trying to think of ways to "fix" the whole Rose situation, and this comment will serve as a small reminder of what I did like about Rose; EVERYTHING current was a means to the end to meet his fever dream tunnel vision of "saving" Galar.

Are you sure that’s not just that fact that Pokémon characters usually aren’t very expressive?

@@iBenjamin1000 not entirely, but in cut scenes like that, they’re usually more expressive than during standard gameplay.

@@iBenjamin1000 Before his battled he gives a determined but sad look. As if he doesn't like what he's about to do but feels it's necessary. It's a neat little thing... completely undercut by how stupid the whole plot is, but it *is* there.

Honestly, I'm still salty what happened with Rose's motivations. His final battle will always be soured for me due to this, which is a shame since he has one of the best villains themes in the series personally. It tries to hold up to his goals, but just falls flat in my opinion.

I adored Hop and his arc. I loved seeing him grow from trying to live up to his brother, but ends up loosing to us. I actually liked that i felt bad slowly killing his dream, because deep down, he knows he can't stand toe to toe with his brother, but we might... and that literally causes him to rethink his entire life purpose. But then... he finds solace. He deicdes he's going to research pokémon, and that can be an area in which he can finally thrive and be his own person, not just "the champions little brother".

hop is such a good character

but he was so damn annoying like im tryna play the game but every second he just spawns and pulsates at me

Hop's arc was the only good part of the Sword/Shiels story

@@wingedbunny6211 I couldn't have asked for a better partner when facing Eternatus. He deserved to hold that rusty shield more then any other character and made that finale awesome

yeah, but the arc would've worked if the difficulty of her battles increased with her wanting to go full power etc. But it didn't, she stayed weak, wich i think is the main reason people don't see the arc and just find her annoying and pushy

Not to mention the fact that she's the only rival that's also acts more like a girlfriend than a friend... Scarlet and Violet have a lot more flirting than any other generation....

I also saw alot of hate towards Nemona in the comment section. I don't think Nemona is a bad character. Nemona is that one nerd in class who is bored of always being first place in class. She is a girl with the hunger of competition which is why she was excited to see a new student in her class hoping that the student (yourself) will be a good rival. Even this doesn't sum up the fact that she is a total stranger and makes you think that maybe she did this to every new student at school or like Why would this girl choose a random ass guy to be her rival? Like there were a lot of blank and doubting spaces in this scenario. Which is why i think she is not the best rival or incomplete rival in my opinion. The idea of a strong trainer wanting to become the rival of a beginner is a cool concept but they could've done the writing a bit better in the start. But everything else battles, personality, character design were great, loved it.

Good idea, bad execution. Nemona choosing a type-advantage starter would still keep the idea. Also let her mons in the final battle all lvl 80 or something.

It just doesn't really work in the gameplay.

Absolutely. Marlon was written like a BW1 character in BW2. In BW2, everyone knows Team Plasma was a bunch of bullshit, Ghetsis was evil, and they did who knows what in the first games. Anyone still being like "nah, I don't believe it until I see it" isn't being a healthy sceptic, but an idiot at best or maliciously "sceptic" at worst, and doesn't help he basically acts like a dogwhistling "centrist". Doesn't help he only shows up in a super small part of the story, only seems to impede you and not help you at all in difference to the other gym leaders, and his team lineup is just... weak.

@@youtube-kit9450 Just to correct a small part of this. He's not completely useless. He's the reason you're even able to board the Plasma Frigate when you encounter it near his city, because he (somehow) deploys it's boarding platform, allowing you to enter it. Also, I don't see how he impedes you, he's not the one stopping your progress in that area (That would be Plasma and the Crustle blocking the cave exit). While I don't think he's that well written, I think his whole spiel about "You shouldn't just do the right thing, but also you should know why you're doing it" is there for Hugh's character development. Like Truegreen7 said, Hugh starts off as seeing all of Plasma as bad, but grows to realise its not so Black and White. Hugh's original goals of taking on Plasma were good intentioned, and a lot of them were indeed doing bad things. But by the end Hugh realises what he really cares about and, once Ghetsis' Team Plasma is stopped, he decides to help the Ex-Plasmas to re-unite more people with their lost pokemon. Hugh is present for both of Marlon's main speeches, which I don't think is a coincidence. I admit though that its kinda odd how he doesn't really know about Plasma and doesn't seem that concerned with them. He has that surfer dude vibe, but Flint from Sinnoh kind of did too and he wouldn't be happy with Plasma. Or maybe Humilau City is so remote prior to B2W2 that literally no one there was aware of Plasma? Dunno, it's still a stretch. Marlon needed a bit more time in the oven.

I love the joke about that one guy's donation paying for your reward money.

So she is the stereotypical streamer/influencer behind the curtains?

I get this is a bit out there, but yonestly, I'd quite like to see a darker side to Iono. Something like her putting on an act during streams but is a lot more vulnerable off-camera. It's a sensitive topic for sure, given that a lot of streamers/content creators go through things like that, but given how great the writing was for SV, I reckon it could be handled well.

Iono being a trash streamer just feels so fitting for some reason lmao

The best part is that she got called out by Gresha in the DLC about her making more view oriented content instead of more risky and innovative one

Yeah, that was the reason I hated Iono. She seemed really selfish and more concerned with popularity by using cheap tricks instead of actually making good content. It disappointed me how she has so much potential for her content to be good as a gym leader, but completely wastes it on focusing on view count instead of showcasing the ins and outs of being a gym leader.

@@pinkpeachesxox literally same; i grew to like her a lot 😁

Could have something to do with why some of the ultra beasts look like Lily, Guzma, and Lusamine

How did Kahili feel shoehorned in when that's pretty much how all E4 members were up until that point? And there was a reason for Lillie and Lusamine to look like Ultra beasts, it was because of Lusamine's obsession with them

@@noahberan6498 other Elite 4 members are at least established in their regions and there are often NPCs who allude to them. In several games they'll make cameos to introduce themselves. Also it's rare in the 3D games for characters with highly distinct models to have only a minor scene and a few lines. Also... what does her obsession with them have to do with multiple characters looking like them? That has even less to do with Nihilego displaying mannerisms of a young girl, plus Pheromosa isn't one Lusamine had experience with. I mean arguing because you have doubts is one thing but the rewrites aren't a secret or anything. I'd argue that your way makes less sense

@@M_Alexander Other characters do allude to Kahili though, there's a few people in the Hano grand resort that talk about a "super strong golfer". I always took it as having one "traditional" E4 member because we've been exposed to the others a lot throughout the plot. But for Lillie it was definitely because Lusamine was obsessed with Nihilego so she dressed Lillie to resemble it. Gladion said he used to do the same thing to him too. You make a good point about Lusamine's resemblance to Pheromosa though, although it could just be that she was obsessed with Ultra beasts in general. I'm not saying there's no chance of what you're saying being true, I'm just saying there are explanations to those examples in game

Yeah to be honest I also see them as being related in some way but the thing that people point to in terms of her being an antagonist is the fact that she owns a pokemon only found in Area Zero which already makes her heavily suspicious as that area is strictly off limits to everyone not to mention I sometimes wonder if she was there prior or shortly after the professors death at the hands of the agressive legendary Cyclizar knowing how dangerous that area must of been and how easily Arvens Mabosstif was severely injured by the paradox pokemon one would have to question her motives for even setting foot there and yes she is the chairwoman of the pokemon league but she's not a scientists...or is she? That alone makes me wonder what else she is hiding and we know she is the first champion of the region and all but there's no way she's at full strength with that pushover team of hers we still don't know much about her she may be quite kind and all but we don't know what type of work she's always busy with.

@@lugiamastero13 you do realise that Glimmora (the pokemon that appears in area zero) evolves from a pokemon you can find outside of area zero. She probably just evolved it. Nemona is referring to the fact she had never seen the fully evolved form in the wild before. And even if she did capture it fully evolved, she is the top champion, if anyone is allowed in area zero it’s going to be her. It doesn’t make her evil. It honestly feels a little desperate. I hate her, but there’s no real reason to hate her…. Unless she were evil! Yes, that would make it ok. She must be secretly evil.

@@intergalactic92 I learned that little fact a bit later lmao I'm just surprised by the shock of the characters making it seem that way. Hmm true now that basically rules out any potential evil scheme though I meant to say it was suspicious behavior not necessarily pure evil though I also remember area zero was closed off to everybody even champions and anyone else considering they needed the professors permission to enter the place anyways so I guess that makes her even less suspicious until we find out more about her though that is

Instead of her being a villain, we got Kieran.

The Pokémon x y anime was cool but the game was meh

Same could be said for Black and White. The games are regarded as one of the best while the anime is seen as one of the worst.

Gen 6 anime is just the best for people who started late, gen 4 anime is where the writing peaks

Pokemon anime is mid regardless so being the best of the series doesn't really mean much when it'd barely stand on its own without the pokemon brand

I swear, it's like it was the anime's mission to upgrade XY's characters from the planks of wood they we're before. Even in Journeys characters like Wikstrom and Drasna were very entertaining.

I appreciate strong, confident female characters, but Claire isn't that, imo.

The hate for Whitney is 90% because they have trouble defeating the Miltank.

See, I don't want to assume, but at the same time what I read between the lines of your comment is that you want evil characters and enjoy their villainy. There are are others who want the opposite. I do not enjoy villainising people or see the need for evil rooted human conflict. People are complex so at least we would want to know and understand how they came to do such evil deeds to see some glimps of humanity.

I mean u got a point there but they do pretty bad stuff so they kind of want you to hate them

@@eljordinio7647 that’s why I love them as characters tho, you are supposed to hate them because they really are that horrible, and they execute that perfectly, it’s the same reason I love Mysterio from Spider-Man, he’s a horrible person and you’re clearly meant to see that and make you dislike him, and that’s why he’s an amazing character, cuz he succeeds at that perfectly

Most people nowadays aren't able to separate fiction from reality, so Lusamine's crimes are as real as any humans- and a shockingly large amount of people might also try to make the argument that the author of their stories are by extension guilty of the crimes their characters commited. I don't know how we got to this point, and I can't fathom how people can come to that conclusion, but well, we're here. xD For the record, after learning why N is named what he is, my blood ran cold. I was so ready to kick Ghetsis' ass, man...

Honestly my main dislike for Lusamine is not because she's horrible. I just think Gamefreak retconned her character hard after her debut games. Its not even a redemption arc I don't think. Just a complete rewrite of her original character to make her seem like a good person who made some mistakes. Rather then Ghetsis levels of cruellity.

If your only experience of writing is pokemon games maybe. Lillie was fucking shit. She lives in a world where pre- schoolers can be trainers. She keeps watching us battle. Hell the stupid explanation for why we should not think ill of pokemon battles is because they want to do it ala BW. She also wants to help a pokemon that is being chased by pokemon trainers. The only reason she manages to help is because we can't tell her to fuck off. We could have left her after defeating Kommo- O I think it was and she would have been fucked. Because she couldn't put in youngster Joey levels of being a trainer. Not to mention we should have never went after her mother into ultraspace especially carrying a useless lump of space who can't actually do anything to protect herself. Taking the only known wat to control wormholes to the crazy lady who wanted to unleash pokemon through wormholes to wreck Alola. Hey Lillie calling your mom out is less important than Alola not getting wrecked by your crazy mother. She was better in USUM because she actually became a trainer and the game at one point or two acknowledges that taking someone who can't protect themselves in dangerous situations is stupid.

@jacquelineking5783 Did Lillie kill your parents or something? There's a reason I said "competently", not "good". Also, your gripes with Lillie seem to start off more as gripes with the concept of the pokemon world, but not everyone wants to be a trainer and in-story (regardless of your personal feelings) she's supposed to be your friend, and with the franchise being built around friendship, helping her is reasonable. Was she done better in USUM? Obviously , duh. I'd say Pokemon games have been getting more consistently better writing over the years. (With USUM coming after SM) It's just that hardware limitations masked GF's writing "skills" at first. But there might be a reason the commonly regarded as better written pokemon games are not developed by GameFreak. Also, "the only reason the plot progresses is because the MC can't tell the sidecharacter to fuck off" is one heck of a take for a game with a linear story...

Larry doesn’t really state he dislikes Geeta from what I read. In fact, he states that he now understands why she asked him to use flying types at the league, and that she’s told him to cut back on his hours. As for Ryme and Tulip, both of them seem to dislike her because she harmed their egos in some accidental way. Ryme straight-up tries to pull the “does she know who I am” card, and Tulip only dislikes her because Geeta’s “style” clashes with hers. So they’re both kind of petty. Nobody else really expresses any issue with her.

Without a rock type or rock type move, I actually lost to him at first. Charizard can be pretty hard to beat if you’re unprepared.

I’m of the opinion that gen 7 and 8 derive a lot of their plot and themes from gen 6. These, more than any other generations, 'copy' each other a lot, or at least attempt to fix stuff that didn’t work so well the first time. Case in point Lysandre is presented as a twist villain, his unveiling of his grand plan is supposed to be a surprise. The biggest problem with this is that it is not surprising in the slightest. Apart from the fact he dresses just like Team Flare, has Team Flare grunts hanging around in his cafe, and makes blatantly evil speeches, there is literally no one else introduced in the story, apart from AZ now that I think about it, that it could possibly be. There is no mystery to solve. There are no red herrings. I appreciate its not a mystery game where one of the big questions is "who could possibly be the villain" but he is presented as a twist villain regardless. Move on to gen 7, and you get Lusamine, who is also a twist villain. Again it’s not too much of a surprise, for she is immediately sus, and we see the Aether Foundation goons chasing Lillie in the prologue, but it is presented so much better. For one we are distracted by Team Skul for most of the game, Lusamine doesn’t even show up until late on, after Team Skul and Guzma have made appearances. Secondly, Aether Foundation are a genuinely good organisation (mostly) and are constantly shown doing nice things. All of this leaves genuine questions in your heads, you know that Aether must be up to no good thanks to the prologue, and lusamine's vibe, but as they don’t seem to be doing anything bad, whilst there is a different group stirring up trouble, makes it more satisfying and shocking when it is all revealed. Then we get to gen 8 and Rose genuinely is Lysandre all over again. Seriously Rose is introduced as a philanthropist, just like Lysandre, a prominent figure in the region who shows an interest in your journey, and keeps talking about making the world better. Where Lysandre is blatantly up to no good, and has a pretty selfish goal, Rose acts pretty chill throughout, the only red flag may be his endorsement of Bede and then coldly discarding him when he misbehaves, and later turns out to be evil in a 'shocking' twist. There are hints that Rose is up to no good throughout, but it is much more subtle than with Lysandre, and besides, there is another 'evil' team running around so you are distracted. Now I am also puzzled as to why they went this direction with a twist villain yet again, especially when he is so similar in concept to one we've already seen. It does feel like the writers were trying to do Lysandre again, but better. I’m not going to comment on whether he is or not, because I’m not interested in discussing their respective plans at this point, but I do think Rose is a more successful twist, by virtue of the better subtlety in its build up. I’m just pleased they did something different for Scarlet/Violet

I dont know why ppl might compare nemona to barry, hey nemona doesnt tackle you and force you to chase after him... Though I wont mind if nemona does it in another way 😏

I love Leon, I find his tendency to get lost quite charming, he's much better than dommy vanilla soccer mom (Cynthia)

leon is the best champion personality wise because he is literally the champion with personality in the games.

Hop winning some battles would have been even better for his character.

Yeah, every time I hear that someone thinks Hau and Hop are too similar I think, "Are they though?" They have nothing in common personality wise. Looks and name, yes, but they're usually referring to personality.

I love Ilona so much. He’s who made me really love Smeargle as a pokemon.

Hop really bothered me at first. I thought we were going to get another Hau, but thankfully we actually got to see his arc play out. Unlike Hop, who got an offscreen arc in USUM that I personally found undeserved. It’s for this reason that I really like Hop, but I think he could do more than being a researcher. I think he’d make a pretty rad Pokémon Ranger to be honest. Seems like a more direct way to help people and Pokémon.

Imo, top 5 strongest characters in Galar are 1. Piers 2. Leon 3. Raihan 4. Gordie 5. Kabu With number 2 to 5, they are either champion or implied champion level trainers due to their league card... while Piers is essentially implied to be the strongest trainer overall... but his downfall is that he doesn't use Dynamax/Gigamax, so the others best him with their nuke... but that didn't stop Piers coming close to defeat Raihan, but Raihan won due to his nuke.

Except Leon did agree to help Rose... tomorrow. And the man couldn't wait one day. That's why it's stupid.

@@armaggedon390 You clearly didn't read my comment well. That wasn't the first time that Rose tried to convince Leon to help with the plan. He just kept getting promises to help. But that one was particularly important because the experiments required to keep Eternatus energized also made it harder to control (hence why you hear explosions every time you were near Hammerlock and also why they decided to ambush Leon in a last attempt to convince him). But he only got another promise from Leon and that's the moment were Rose saw Leon like he saw Bede. Which is why he decided to let Eternatus awake in a way he couldn't ignore (during the final battle of the gym challenge).

@@giboit. Buddy, I love your fanfiction, but that ain't what we saw in the game. Leon said he would help the day after the match, that there was no need to hurry because the crisis was far away. Rose doesn't make sense. I wish he did, I *want* these games to have a good story, but they don't.

@@armaggedon390 You're still not getting it. That wasn't the first time that Rose heard that kind of promise from Leon. That moment that you see in the game was just the last straw for him. Many people confused the idea of dynamax energy having the potential to last a thousand years with the wishing starts (the source of that energy) being unlimited. Rose was aiming to restore the amount of wishing stars required to keep having energy able to last a thousand years. Because the wishing stars are used for literally everything in the increasingly wishing stars dependent Galar region. But only Eternatus was able to produce them and the last time he did was 3000 years ago.

i think so too! and granted, i might be biased since i grew up watching the pokemon anime (gens 1-5) over and over and over (listen i wasnt even in kindergarten yet i had nothing better to do with my time), but i don't think shes nearly as bad as people try to make her up to be. maybe it's because i was also a kid, but i never found her annoying; i actually found her quite entertaining. the bickering with ash resembles misty in a way, so i don't get why people jump to hate on anime iris so much. she really doesnt deserve it :(

Iris supremacy raaah

​​@@catsungdae people have _huge_ double standards for Misty compared to the other pokegirls istg.

X and Y casually put in class-based genocide and no one realizes that because X and Y have horrible plot (execution).

@@iantaakalla8180 yeah, the anime, manga, and heck even masters tells the story so much better. I also can't believe they were able to have a full genocide story.

Weird. The anime was incredible.

I think that was his point. In a games galled Black and white he was morally grey (Colress fan here too!)

Further strengthened by the anime where he and Ash are the last two standing among Champions

Never in my days as a Truegreen7 subscriber would I ever expect Ron to do the "mommy" bit or bring up N's "package" but I'm kinda here for it.

I love how hes just shifting to content he enjoys doing instead of tending to youtube's needs (he still is kinda but hes getting more loose with it which is cool)

Trueee man, i've never understood the hate for whitney, my past 3 playthroughs were all a steamroll on her gym ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ

@@youristevens379 everyone hates Whitney’s Miltank

@@youristevens379 I can recall playing Johto like 7 times, and I literally never had trouble with her, not even once! I genuinely feel like I'm missing something because like 99% of the community sites her as insanely difficult, but I had much more trouble with Clair's Kingdra than Whitney's Miltank every time I played Johto, even tho my teams were barely made by the time I fought Whitney

Even still, the difficulty spike is SUPER exaggerated. Honestly, if you have a Bayleef, Miltank is easy af especially if you soft reset for a female Chikorita. Poison Powder, Reflect, Synthesis.

I honestly never found her hard. I just know nuzlockers hate her

That happened to me too.

i found her actually, idk how i did since i was a little goo goo ga ga back then

i'll try that !

when I read Pokémon Z all i could think of was Goku as a Pokémon trainer. tbh, i wonder what kind of team he would have.

She isnt one of the only strong ones but tell me when another leader/elite four member had a pokemon which u couldnt super effective hit it

Ong man she's so overrated

​@@happycampr108 Iono had her Tera Electric Mismagius with Levitate.

@@happycampr108 Phoebe's Sableye, gen 3.

I got that vibe with him too
