Pokémon White - Champion Alder

[@parupuri4993]

you murdered his team with a lamp

[@tatumlasse]

poppieseekle is sleepy xd

[@LegendarySnipez7000]

Well half of his team is bug type

[@NikoBellic04]

Half of lances team is dragon type. He is a dragon specialist. Half of Alders team is bug type. He is not a bug type specialist. Pokémon Logic.

I freaked out more when I saw Cynthia hanging around Unova than battling Alder.

[@butteredsalmonella]

I literally love how insanely brutal Alder's team against Grass types. Three Bug types (one part fire and one part steel), A dragon, An ice type and A pokemon with the ability sap sipper (which is literally an immunity to grass types).

[@Natsu25100]

Sap Sipper is the problematic ability if you've started with Snivy which renders almost all of its attacks useless making it the bad choice of starter

[@ephraimallen234]

[@IexistIguessidk]

@@koolaids6609 Me. Because of part ground and part water types in the elite four.

[@cornelialibritanniaprincess]

Takanashi if you started with Snivy, like I did, you probably learned the hard way. I used leech seed with Serperior w/o even knowing sap sipper existed. This battle quickly turned into coil and hyper potion spamming. Thank God I had aerial ace.

[@shad0wofmasakad0]

Breaking news: Kid beats strongest Unova trainer with a chandelier, big ass lizard, and a prehistoric bird.

[@Natsu25100]

No wonder why he loses to Iris after 2 years.

[@ksoundkaiju9256]

His team is just a mishmash I would have made his team Accelgor/Escavilier or Scolipede Braviary (Mandibuzz in Black) Bouffalant or Stoutland Gigalith Zebstrika or Eelektross Volcarona A bit more balanced

[@harnanmylvaganam6311]

He willingly gave up the position revealed by the memory link feature

[@Fefeeer]

The only thing that I like about Alder is that he is one of the few champions that only use regional pokemon.

[@bdt2002gaming]

The only reason you hate him as a Champion is because you don't actually battle him until the postgame. Admit it, I'm right. *Edit:* Rediscovering this comment after six years; probably could have left out that jab at the end. My apologies.

[@defiantboss9418]

bdt2002 Gaming no its because of he is much easy to diantha

[@ejcbubba27]

DefientBoss941 Diantha was a disappointment. I found her way more easier than Alder and Iris.

[@thedarkstar7045]

EricFeraligatr27 - TheBlueKirby Iris wasn't that easy though

[@Wiifanbro]

Yes, and also he’s weak.

[@Natsu25100]

Plus, several KZbinrs like Lueroi didn't upload and fight Alder.

[@keroro513]

I really live gen 5, but I think Alder isn' t the best champion....but I find him OST really good

[@bladedou127]

Yes

[@marcusmckanbackman]

I've grown to like him more and more over the years. But I would still choose Iris over Alder as champion of the Unova League

[@jeffreygao3956]

No matter what, I'm callin' Alder a Bug specialist.

[@rodrigokuszek]

well....the challenge becomes 100x times easier if you use the "switch" option, that tells you if you wanna swap a pokemon for another, telling you what the enemy is gonna send out

[@Chris-pn1dx]

In the older games it's okay to use 'Set' mode, but I think we can agree that if you use 'Set' in XY and onward, you're a psychopath lol.

[@PBLightning145]

True

[@benjiboy9907]

I still think it’s so funny that the champions are hyped up so damn hard as being these unbeatable monster trainers and then the player character just come along at 10 years old and kick their teeth in.

[@mrnelis8037]

if you look at it in a way too realistic way, yes they're supposed to be the pinnacle of all pokemon trainer (battles). representing, and all. the game isn't designed for the older ones among us, who know how to imply/predict strategy..

[@ivanastorga1641]

I still don't know how N could beat Alder with a bunch of level 50's Pokemon in his behave.

[@davasatria4191]

Because he has a reshiram

[@gateofdite]

@@davasatria4191 that's 50 level too but okey

[@slow_mk8]

After the player beats the Pokémon league for the first time in black(2) and white(2),the levels of Pokémon for the E4 and the champion bounces up by over 20. Since the first Pokémon league challenge is in the mainline story, Alder's team should be at around levels 50s as well. P.S.:Unlike in Platinum,which you have to defeat Team Galactic and take down their plans on Stark Mountain once and for all before you can challenge the improved E4,the E4 and champ's Pokémon level in black (2) and white (2) increases right after you are in the post game.

[@hotanimations4025]

they had in increase his levels to be 20 levels higher , otherwise by the time you got to him , your Pokémon would in the level 60-70 area , while his would be in the 50 area , it would make his fight too easy , so that’s why they bumped it up , alder when he fought n was probably around level 50 himself .

[@alexisalvarado3069]

I like Escavalier's old cry instead of the updated cry on 3:45

[@cryingwithrage]

The game just casually hands you a Level 70 Volcarona that wrecks Cynthia and Alder.

[@Syrgarde]

*"Yo you finding Cynthia and Alder hard? Take this OP Volcarona so you'll wreck them both

[@PBLightning145]

No

[@ItsMeVolatility]

I absolutely adore the first part of his battle theme. Unlike most other important character themes, that take a few seconds before getting intense, this one hits its high right away. I remember the first time I challenged Alder, that huge first note caught me off guard and made me a lot more excited to fight him. Very nostalgic for me.

[@cornelialibritanniaprincess]

Its the background for me. This theme goes so well well with that background

[@hoshino8899]

god, i miss my nitendo ds. Btw Alder's face idk why remembers oak

[@melldotexe5209]

Literally not a single member of my team was above level 70 when I fought Alder, and I won. For fuck’s sake, one of my Pokémon was level 58, and managed to tank a critical hit Stone Edge from his Bouffalant without even reaching red health.

[@chia4965]

Your team?

[@techguy25777]

It sucks that I put Alder down as least challenging just because I started with tepig.

[@dagmak5988]

I chose Tepig too in white! Using Emboar would've been too easy, so I also used Dragonite, Lucario, Kingdra, Magnezone, and Krookodile - that was my post-game team. My regular game team consisted of Emboar and Krookodile as well, plus Eelektross, Sigilyph, Haxorus, and Simipour.

[@theaveragemushroom6474]

@@dagmak5988 I feel so sorry for you trying to raise a baggage tynamo

[@dagmak5988]

It's okay. It paid off handsomely. And it was still easier than trying to put all training on Bagon so that I could learn Dragon Claw at Level 49 instead of Level 79.

[@Tanjiroslays-t5j]

the thing is, there must be a lot of people who lost to Champion…!

[@markmitchell7508]

You couldn't face off against Alder the first time around since he was defeated by N. But now after defeating the elite four a second time, you'll finally have a chance against him. During the battle, he'll have Accelgor, Bouffalant, Druddigon, Vanilluxe, his ace Pokémon Volcarona, and Escavalier. If he's defeated just like many other Pokémon League champions, you'll make it to the hall of fame.

[@sonoflaw]

Alders Pokeballs are just really big ana- oh god, WHAT IS HE DOING WITH THOSE

[@neilpatricktiosejo5640]

My favorite champion so far. Why? As Alder really resembles Jiraiya and gives that Jiraiya vibe as well, more like a mentor. In all of the champions, he tried to stop a mad guy with a legendary dragon Pokemon.

[@jongxina3595]

I suffered a lot against Alders Volcarona cuz I had no rock type moves :,v

[@antiamourshiper8477]

Congrats.

[@leons.kennedy5353]

For a pokemon game, the story is legendary, and it's impressive how involved alder is. Alder is a man who really doesn't need to fight with pokemon, because he speaks volumes with his actions and words. His morals are on point and true, and he's great at leading people down an honest path. His biggest flaw is his team, which doesn't synchronize very well, and with pokemon like Darmanitan and Chandelure, a bug heavy team at post game is a clear mistake. I like him though, more for his character than his title

[@JCDragon2819]

His lineup in the PWT was more formidable than here. It's just too bad he didn't use them here.

[@CorporalPig22]

Alder’s Volcarona died of an illness.

[@anithasuresh2002]

I just have one oddly insane question, why the fuck is Alder still the champion? Like you defeated N who defeated Alder so N is the Champion, so why is it that Alder is still the champion? Like, sure we need to "Fight Alder too because blah blah blah" c'mon can't they find another way. They found a way to throw Cynthia in Undella so why not find another way to fight him without him being the Champion, like sure it could be another excuse for E4 Round 2 but...

[@handsoaphandsoap]

I think it would’ve been better if Alder was challenging you for the title, like the post game champion battles in gen 7

[@WiccanGarden]

N flew away on Reshiram/Zekrom after Ghetsis was defeated. He left, vacated the championship and Alder resumed his position.

[@sarahgalloway6458]

wow his team is surprisingly weak to fire

[@cancer9866]

Cause he's a bug type champion like how Lance is dragon/flying.

[@siddragon75]

Haha, I wanted it to be a true 6-on-6 battle, so I had to double or even triple up on fire types. I remember my Black team post-Hall of Fame consisting of Rapidash, Dragonite, Samurott, Chandelure, Houndoom, and Golem. Then in White my post-Hall of Fame rotation was Crobat, Hitmonlee, Kingdra, Emboar, Salamence, and Rampardos.

[@tatumlasse]

[@hollowchristmas4263]

[@WiseManToad]

Jono The Turtle He’s not forgettable. Well, in terms of strength, he’s almost as weak as diantha

[@Natsu25100]

He's only fought in the post-game where there's a tendency to forget to fight him. Iris is still the best champion in Unova.

[@butteredsalmonella]

He's kinda forgettable, i guess. I mean he appeared in some parts of the game, but i'm telling you. Diantha is not only weak but she literally only appears once without any special introduction whatsoever or any participation to counter Team Flare, In conclusion Diantha is outright the weakest and the most forgettable one. In fact, she's actually the only champion who didn't do anything or interfere with the Evil Teams, maybe there's Blue, but he appeared in Silph Co.

[@hollowchristmas4263]

ernani carilo 1 year late, but... Alder was easier than Iris, in my open opinion. At least Iris had pokemon like Lapras and Aggron, who made it so Iris had more type advantages. While Alder, he's so easy with Emboar. Everything, beside Druddigon(Which is no mean a good Pokémon) is either weak, or weak to fire/fighting. Yes, Volcarona, but even Volcarona can easily be knocked out by Emboar.
