Cynthia's 'other' house is not actually her house. It is a villa in the Unova Region that belongs to Caitlin of the Johto Frontier Brains and Unova Elite Four. She just uses it during the summer.

[@oscarbarron3681]

Technically shes from the sinnoh battle frontier, the one from johto is just a copy paste from the original one

[@nightspawnson-of-luna4936]

Fun Fact: Caitlyn and Lorelei are the Only two Elite four Members with vistable houses, and in both cases they aren't in their first appearance (Caitlyn first appeared in Gen 4 and Lorelei's house in FrLg's Sevii Islands)

[@LNRspeaks]

This is weird, but since I'm here, I'll mention it Diantha is the only champion to have her team tie into her lore directly, sorta Her team; Hawlucha: action movies Tyrantrum and Auroras: Historic and Sci-fi movies, interchangeably Gourgeist: Horror movies Goodra: Fantasy Gardevoir: Romance They represent the most common movie genres cause shes an actor, thats kinda neat

[@parasgupta8411]

Her team is also the best balanced team as each member has a different highest stat. Hawlucha - speed Tyrantrum- attack Auroras - HP Gourgeist - Defence Goodra - Sp defence Mega gardevoir - Sp attack

[@Irrelevance256]

And yet most of it sucks.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

EJ The Mad Aside from Gourgeist and maybe Aurorus, Diantha's team is actually pretty solid. It's just that EXP Share made it so you would most likely end up with a team that is 10+ levels higher than hers or something.

[@Irrelevance256]

[@LNRspeaks]

If we gave her team Hawlucha; Unburden, Sitrus berry, Close combat, acrobatics, knock off and poison jab Tyrantrum; Rocky head, dragon dance, dragon claw and head smash Gourgeist needs leech seed Gardevoir hyper voice instead of moonblast She would so much more challenging

Fun fact: Geeta has stealth rock on her Glimmora, but uses Glimmora as her ace (last pokemon), making the move quite useless.

[@Hrishi52xis]

​@@Gina_Silverrain Why would Glimmora have toxic spikes when its s Ability itself sets up Toxic Spikes.

[@HoradeFidges]

@@Hrishi52xis As someone that had a glimmora through the adventure with the ability to set up toxic spikes, I strongly considered making it learn the move since there were times where I wanted to set the spikes but the opponent used special moves. Also, because they stack twice, there were moves where I wanted to put both and wouldn't be possible only with the ability. Like the other pokemon being slower but oneshoting, thus only hitting glimmora once, or when after one hit I needed to change

[@Hrishi52xis]

@@HoradeFidges yeah makes sense was just saying that Geeta's Glimmora doesn't have Toxic Spikes as a move.

[@jaysylvester7973]

For geeta how about the fact that she’s considered undefeated but in order to get the champion rank you have to defeat her, so your rival nimona, a champion rank created a paradox where she defeated the undefeated champion and geeta remains undefeated

[@Ultradragon16]

Was Geeta ever considered undefeated? I thought the whole thing was that she was considered the best among Champion Ranked Trainers in Paldea, implying there's at least one other Champion Ranked trainer (Nemona)

[@veenadayma6514]

You forgot to mention that Iris ISN'T FROM UNOVA! In one of Drayden's Memory flashes, we see him crowning Iris the champion and saying something like ‘You were special, so I brought you from the Village of Dragons to Unova’. This suggests that The Village of Dragons, that has been confirmed to be her hometown in the anime, isn't in Unova at all. Further, she mentions that she has read some of Sinnoh Mythology before which stated that Pokémon spring from the grasses to say thank you to trainers who had been bonding with their Pokémon and she wants others to know this Mythology too. Could it ... Could it be ... That she's from SINNOH? Or the Village of Dragons is quite close to Sinnoh or atleast has its Mythologies tying with the Sinnoh Region? To support this point further, Grandma Wilma, who teaches you Draco Meteor in Platinum, is also, as from what she says, seemingly from the same village (especially when Iris teaches your Pokémon Draco Meteor in Black and White, so perhaps even this move originates from the Village of Dragons?). To convolute this already weird hypothesis while leaving it here, I want to add another point you missed; Cynthia in Platinum mentions “My house? Even the Region is a Secret!” The Champions definitely become champion of regions they aren't supposed to!

[@HartxStarr]

maybe the village of dragons is blackthorn city? or in meteor falls?

The only champion to use exclusively pokemon from his generation... WHAT ABOUT BLUE AND LANCE???

[@pageclayton6850]

Blue is being saved for the rival video And Lance is just incorrect. At least half his team are Kanto pokemon (Dragonite, Dragonite and Dragonite)

[@jrlaps521]

You can’t really count Blue when he’s from the debut generation so there’s not much of a choice to only use gen 1 Pokémon, and in FRLG he uses Heracross and Tyranitar in his post game rematch team unlike Alder who still uses gen 5 Pokémon in the E4 rematch. For Lance, he’s a gen 2 champion, not Gen 1

[@katherinegarlock2249]

When you take over that mansion, the NPC that gives it to you will tell you it was originally for some rich guy from Hoenn to dig for rare stones. So that obviously isn't from Cynthia. Well I bet you already knew this, just got it wrong to bait my comment. COmments are good for the KZbin algorithm after all.

I also knew about Lance having illegal pokemon (He also has an underleveled Dragonite), but I didn't know that they actually had a Barrier Dragonite Event in Gen 6... Also I'm suprised you didn't mention that there's special dialogue if you do the double with Steven in the Delta Episode using the event Shiny Metagross referencing Allain and the Mega Evolution Special (And there's also dialogue if you have that Metagross in your party while getting his gift Beldum... Iirc it's something like PS: How is my other Beldum Doing?)

Lance is 100% the Champion in Gen 1. Blue defeats him taking the crown from him, he wasn’t just awarded with the crown.

[@kkrstudios]

Actually hes not. You can also see on the movie, Pokemon Origins that there is no champion in Kanto. Blue defeated the Elite 4, which Lance was part of, and became a champion.

[@mikeclark7026]

@@kkrstudios Origins isn’t canon to the games. The message at the start of the game says challenge the Pokémon league, nothing about becoming the first Champion. And we know there are previous Champions of Kanto and Johto to Lance, cause Kakaui speaks of emulating Kanto’s league from when he was younger. Lance was made Champion again when Red declined the responsibility and Blue decided not to take the mantle when Red didn’t. It makes no sense for their not to be a Champion of Kanto/Johto at that one random time. But is before and after.

[@Ultradragon16]

I guess there's a weird discrepancy here because of this, but doesn't Lance address that there wasn't anyone sitting in the Champion position until Blue beat him just a while before you got there?

3:41-3:47 A little nit-picky, but I don't think it's mentioned Mossdeep is his home town (at least on the Bulbapedia page the subsection for "Steven's Home" under Mossdeep City phrases in a way that suggests he has property there but it doesn't quite translate to Mossdeep being his hometown, where hometown usually meaning the town you're raised in.) I know off hand in Emerald after the multi-battle fight with Maxie and Tabetha, Steven asks the playing character to drop by his home, and he quickly adds that he lives in Mossdeep not Rustburo. It's not definitive proof, but there's something to be said that other people might associate him with Rustburo rather than Mossdeep. Though how much that's associated because he's Mr. Stone's son and how much it's because that might be his hometown proper, I'm not sure... 4:33 - I thought Lisia was Wallace's niece?

PROBABLY Fun Fact about Paldean "champion": 1. Geeta probably knew most gym leaders doesn't like her, that why she send YOU for work to check them. 2. Nemona probably challenged E4 and defeated her not long time before you came to this place - still little weird why she was waiting for you for final battle at Mesagoza after defeat E4 & Geeta, right? 3. She probably caught Glimmora at Area Zero - catch attention, she might doesn't like talking about herself, that why she kept secret about catching one pkmn at Area Zero. Never was telling to everyone about this place. 4. She lost on purpose just let you have fun with Nemona, that why she might proposed to Nemona to fight with you because she knew herself she's not good trainer to battle with you for fun. 5. Worried about Larry, doesn't want he's faint from overworking. Still yet requested him about change his team for specific types - normal to flying, but she said he would use any type for E4, so she might suspected that he has another more specific types. Also i have suspect he could probably have another one, third type - Fairy Type. Why? Because most of normal types were changed to this type!
