Steven is the best champion so dedicated to rocks that he left his champion position to go look for some rocks

[@Barry864]

He left the throne in search of mere stones Talking about a hobby

[@ilian1049]

Wel that rocks

[@Coolquip43]

Jesus Christ, Marie, they're minerals

Stevo : tell me do you like rocks? Me: well then do you like minerals

[@bahukadapoet6764]

Actually metal not rocks.

[@QueenofSilence101]

I love Steven. He's probably my favorite champion thus far. He's got a really nice character, and a slick design. Plus the way they paint him as the "hot guy" that everyone fawns over is amusing.

Would you rather the former champion have the trainer theme? No. It's as good as they can get

[@mainman3476]

DJ Tile Turnip He could've had the elite 4 theme or something.

[@boxiannn]

DJ Tile Turnip could've just stayed as Champion. I like Steven more as Champion than Wallace. Wallace is more suited to being Sootopolis Gym Leader. Juan can go paint ice statues.

[@skye.xv88]

@@DJTileTurnip they gave the bw champion theme to 4 different people, they gave AZ the Kalos Gym leader theme while the chatelines rolled with the Elite 4 music. They also gave Alder the ordinary trainer theme in bw2. There is exactly 0% logic. Btw Steven was kinda like a rival/friend in this game, so this choice fits him (but I'm still dissappointed that he couldn't keep his own theme)

[@kiteohizao7704]

Steven, a champion kind enough to give you something every time you meet him. Lol.

[@Requeueing]

that's only 2 things, Steven meets you several times and gives you something every time

did you really name Azumarill "Pikachu"? i love you bruh

[@yaya5tim]

Steven is really powerful, you know he hits lv78 when we were all in emerald, and that sick level you can't probably find anywhere else in this game. Cynthia could be the one suppress him with various types of pokemons, but I don't think she can beat Steven, maybe she could if level up her pokemon to 75 then I'll call her the strongest. But Steven is still by far the strongest, lv 70 Rayquaza basically have no use against him, by that mean you'll have to train your own pokemon all the way to lv65 and higher to fight him, unlike fight against Cynthia, with a lv 50 or even lv 47 Dialga you can pretty much beat up elite 4 and straight to her.
