5th Elite Four Battle vs Champion Iris [Pokemon Black 2]

[@dealuxe_7545]

this is the best pokemon battle ever and theme change my mind

Lance had a better theme, Blue had a better theme and battle, Red had a better theme and Battle, Cynthia has a better theme and battle, Steven has a better theme and battle.

I appreciate the little things that show a character's personality outside of the dialogue. The way Iris seems to grab you by the hands and drag you to the stairs and push you along is an adorable display of her playful and bubbly personality, and you can't even really see it happen! These games do so much with what seems like so little and I love it to bits.

The music was also probably the best in the series, at least overall. That, and they were arguably the last somewhat challenging games.

Iris: **becomes champion** Excadrill and Emolga: am I a joke to you?

[@decoral]

Yeah, they could have easily given her an Excadrill here instead of an Aggron.

[@darklitskies]

Yeah, it pains me that she pretty much just threw them out.

[@pasquald.6372]

the best music theme for me.

[@Darkfa1r]

Listen to Firered/leafgreen.

[@poxiefox9210]

Same

[@IgorDPortu]

@@Darkfa1r Iris theme still way better

[@jeremypoupart4040]

Cynthia does better

[@shadowclonemaster]

I love that most of Iris' Pokémon aren't labelled as Dragon Types but look like they'd be. Looking at Archeops, Lapras & Aggron. Good thing is they can have Dragon Type moves 🐉🦖

[@greedythegoon8607]

You know you're in for a rough match when the trainer leads with a HYDREIGON of all of the 649 Pokemon in the entire National Pokedex at this point in time.

[@RubenWhitter]

That was genuinely an interesting battle!

[@alessandroarroyo1731]

0:59 As A Kid i felt *like in A whole New Galaxy battling like in the Space*

[@hypersonic4562]

This fight, was SOOOOO, HARD... After my 20th try (I'm not even joking) I started to cry, her team is so broken and that hydreigon shouldn't even exist, but after a long time I finally beat her, and I was so relieved that I think I fainted for a second

[@KiyoshiroClips]

What Iris did: dress up for birthday What Iris is about to do: commit mass murder

[@blueberryboy1167]

She did the "Let's fucking goooooooooooo" face before it became popular

[@xhanetan5204]

Who only realized Iris’s sprite had her tongue sticking out only now?

[@burnyrx4205]

Wait really lmao

[@lawgoonbergen2950]

Probably her collar

[@jacobw1780]

No sje doesnt

[@vastisamehadach.9528]

Iris: Brings lvl 57 Hydreigon Zweilous: One level away and I will be like that dude The game: Imma end this man's dream

[@Ganzo_ed]

They laughed at my anime counterpart I laugh at their soft resets - Iris

[@dragnels4299]

She has not counter part she really become the champion in the anime in the new season somehow and axew did evolve

[@MewLuka]

Hearing all of those twinkles in the background, makes me cry. Like bro, ill miss my leavany from pkmn black 2 nuzlock

[@mike3325able]

The fact that they synced the Low HP noise with the battle music should let you know how good these games were

[@quasiliteral]

Ended my battle with just my Samurott, in the red, paralyzed, best feeling ever.

[@amaterasu_xo]

>uses electroweb on an already slow pokemon

[@josemanuelsantana4576]

I am an actual buyer of this game, and it is hands down worth it!! It has great graphics, and the competition is good. This game is definitely worth it!! I would recommend buying it. I had a copy of it for myself and it was worth it!!

[@Kyle_The_Menace]

Is no one going to talk about the background of this battle is so cool! Ik it’s simple but with the high octane music it’s great!

[@StarCatchrr]

I love her little animation at the beginning

[@alexandruaioanei7457]

Oh man, I had the exact team as this guy back in the day! Awesome game btw!

[@boltzypajarillaga8862]

Me: *Looks in The Comment section* Also Me: *Sees so many people complaining about hydreigon* My Shiny Azumarill with Ice punch: *Pathetic* Note: I found a shiny Marill randomly while looking for a water type. Also The one I truly had troubles with is her damn Haxorus. Why? Cause It kept landing Crits left and right. It even got a crit hit 4 Times in a row. That Haxorus is definitely filled with Hax.

[@nadifenggar943]

Gen 5 is revolutionary not only in the design and perspectives but also in storywriting. The only drawback is the 'pixelated' style that sometimes looks awful.

[@pkmnproductions7461]

As a Gen fiver I agree I wished they kept the Gen 4 style :(

[@GeneralAllan]

Fam this is the only champion battle that actually challenged me. Every other champion that came after this was a joke. Then again this was in my early days of Pokémon training.

[@fireeye6762]

Awesome music and best battle background in the game, along with some awesome sprites and UI make this the best champion battle in the entire series

[@netslamders6803]

Galavantua used electroweb: Ok it didn’t kill sure. It was a critical hit!: Excuse me?

[@samyb4566]

Luck was just too powerful at that moment.

[@mggacha7812]

*low heath theme intensifies*

[@UNKNOWN-zi9mb]

"elite 5" When you realize your whole life was a lie

[@thesixteenthstudent2497]

Haha i see there is a kokichi here xD

[@arturoizaguirre2498]

I like immensely the battle background. It is appropriate for the greatest confrontation of the game.

[@Raivon]

Other Champion themes: *high tension, very dramatic* Iris' theme: *_we be groovin_*

[@scrappyundying5745]

Iris really learned a lot from Lance. Zweilous evolves at Lv.64

[@seem9798]

who else is here after pokemon journeys said shes the champion

[@KOROSENSEI998]

0:54😍😍😍😍😍 so much nostalgia PD: BEST GEN BY FAR.

[@baileydr3480]

Champion Iris' theme and Asriel's Hopes and Dreams would be an awesome Mashup!

[@Taerus]

objectively the best champion bc she can disintegrate your team while dressed like its her birthday party. also the music slaps
