With the whole champion title maybe Steven is fine with it until he hears news about some new rock or cave somewhere then he’s all “There’s a new cave in Galar I HAVE to go! Here Wallace, take over until I get back!” “Ok have fun!” Like the entire result of who you battle is based on if Steven feels like going on a rock hunt.

[@darkmaster6481]

You forgot that Steven himself said that his favorite move is "Steel Wing" which he says giving you the TM. Its funny that Beldum and Metagross is his favorite Pokemon, but they are unable to learn Steel Wing.

[@legogeneralgrievous1173]

Steven and I share a favorite Pokemon.

[@lektrodragon1562]

Skarmory

[@darkmaster6481]

@@lektrodragon1562 I know Steven has a Skarmory just like I pointed out I find it a bit funny Steel Wing is his favorite move when his favorite Pokemon is unable to learn the move. I thought Meteor Mash would be more of his favorite move due to his favorite Pokemon can use the move. But everyone has their own tastes.

I’ve been in a steven loving era for 8 years now, probably way too much but ….

[@ditoslothy1238]

They need to add more of Steven

[@LuckyBoyJKid]

I don't think it's ever mentioned that Wallace beat Steven for the Hoenn Champion title? Isn't it that Steven gave the position to Wallace to 'hold' while he wanted to free up more time for himself for other ventures in Emerald? That's definitely implied of what's about to happen in a conversation between Steven and Wallace at the end of the Delta Episode in ORAS.

[@MelodyOctovia]

No bro, its been explained that Steven left his position as a champion to look up for his beloved rocks and stones. Wallace has just temporarily took care of his place and waited for Steven to return. Then in Pokemon Master, Steven appeared again as a hoenn champion that everyone on the beach would like to join a battle. Heart Gold&Soul Silver is just a remake of gen 2 which means at that time he didn't quit his position yet. It wasnt setted in a different universe like u said lol xD

[@whereisezraa5825]

Where it was explained?

[@crimsoir3543]

HG/SS takes place after 3 years of gen 3(FR/LF) and (RSE), So Steven being back in the pokemon league and announcing himself as champion tells me that he took back the title or smth else. If you are confused, I am also confused too; but it is what it is.

[@MelodyOctovia]

@@crimsoir3543 omg where did you find this detail? I didnt know, thank you for the information

[@crimsoir3543]

@@MelodyOctovia well, this is something that just confuses me to how he is still the champion when there's mentions of him in the HG/SS. Pokemon is confusing af. so im not sure if he took back the title or something happened.

[@MelodyOctovia]

@@whereisezraa5825 sorry i didnt notice someone replied my comment for like 9 months ago, sorry again, it is informed in OR/AS that Steven left the champion role in order to look for stones and rocks. And Wallace took that place as Steve's wish.

[@st1cks_and_crows]

Honestly, i had completely forgotten he was in the Anime until i saw the special episodes. Now, i had seen XYZ beforehand but this was when it had just finished airing. So there i am, sitting alone in my room at 4 in the morning, falling hard for this character all over again. Then I read the manga and had my heart put through a blender.

[@chamallow989]

Another poketuber aside Dobbs that spends minutes talking about the manga and talks about something other than the Arbok scene ? Thanos:Impossible

[@sofi-jm9cq]

this was interesting! i do wish that you went indepth on his personality as i especially think his character development in ORAS did a lot for him as he realizes that he's at the top of a very small world he's made for himself and admits that he needs to grow and learn more.

[@flandrescarlet2655]

Steven is one of my personal favorite champions.

[@elesaslounge733]

My pokemon character crush 😳

[@minhlenguyen77]

I think u forgot to mention that Wallace was actually the champion in the manga but then later left to become a gym leader so he could be closer to his love i dont remember who but she has an Alteria and is also a gym leader.

[@lilli7040]

Her name is Winona, gym leader of Foretree City.

[@mia3033]

Steven fits the criteria for a Pokémon Champion. Cynthia is only better than him because of her diverse team.

[@SMCwasTaken]

Character development is better than Teams

[@Ostralucia]

Steven is one of the only characters we get to know what their favourite mon is and that’s why he’s cool to me

[@laurencesadd9048]

My guess possibly the reason why he didn’t mention that he was the hoenn champion in the Ruby and sapphire anime was because he wasn’t champion at that point because in the Sinnoh anime They said Wallace was the champion so I’m guessing that in the Anime Wallace was beaten by Steven and became champion.

[@letsgetfluffy3138]

Technically Steven didn't take Wallace's title, Wallace beat Steven but didn't want to be champion iirc.

[@user-mt8se4zl1r]

did wallace beat steven ? i thought steven step down by himself ?

[@letsgetfluffy3138]

@@user-mt8se4zl1r I meant in Pokemon Adventures/Special

[@FLuZzyiE]

@@user-mt8se4zl1r In a manga, Wallace beat Steven at the tournament but wanted to remain the Gym Leader so he could work more closely with his crush at the time, another Gym Leader. So Steven became Champion until he eventually died when he gave all his energy to the Regis to save Hoenn and asked Wallace to take over. He was later revived by Celebi.

[@magikarpkingdom9698]

I loved this, it's a fun way to visit the past of characters we love in the games and anime.💖 I would like to have seen a reasoning for why Steven gave up his title of Champion though.😅 I know the games say because he didn't feel like he deserved it after the groudon and kyogre fight, but a in depth explanation on his thinking would of been cool to see too.😁👍

[@Everythingbagel196]

In the manga they explain it was because Wallace was the original winner of the League, with Steven being the runner up. Wallace decided to not be the champion and became a gym leader instead because he was in love with Winona and wanted to hang out with her more. When the battle with Groudon and Kyogere came around, Steven gave up being the champion because Wallace was supposed to be the champion anyway. ( bigger spoilers) He also did it because he knew he would be killed by using up all his power trying to control the Regis he caught. In the end with the new timeline he was alive again, and it’s been a while so idk if he was champion in that timeline or not, but yeah... It would have been cool if the game explained a bit more.

[@RubyAPBT]

@@Everythingbagel196 Maybe in the games he gave up to travel, looking for more rare stones and pokemon. As champion maybe he had to be stuck in hoenn wainting for challengers all time. Just like red who never stoped his own adventure too, but well red was once the player character.

[@RubyAPBT]

@@Everythingbagel196 In the games he is the only E4 / Champion we see all over the places that many times. It is like he is in his own adventure too.

[@brunohawkins5829]

Quite similar to Mr. Buddy’s old series, but i like the fact that Ruffled is picking it up instead. Nice vid mate

[@Popstalgia]

Same man, so happy to see this concept live on. I also love how Master's is continuing to add to the lore and legacy of these characters!

[@legogeneralgrievous1173]

Rock boy is best Champion because he helps you on your journey and his ace is my favorite Pokemon.

Don't you think a series about all the Champions when they're in their teens for starting your Pokemon Journeys or like when they're collecting badges or whatever would be good kind of like Pokemon Origins except it's specifically focused on the Champions only and they're given Adventures

[@chamallow989]

When I first met Steven in the games, I really thought he was gonna be the boss of team aqua because of his blue hair. Don't judge me

He's not in sm

[@RWAsur]

I think Lance broke the record on difference between anime appearances from gem 3 to Gen 8 right?

[@kirin1230]

Gen 1 and 3 take place at the same time, so canonically, Steven still has the record in most timelines. But in the anime, we don't know if Steven was Champion prior to the gen 3 anime and gave the position to Wallace.

i love and hate the fact that steven just goes whenever he sees new rocks and can leave his position like it's nothing. wallace needs to become the new champ and the other water gym leader has to take over the gym, unless wallace wants to take both responsibilies. i love how much of racoon behavior he has -his looks- but i dislike how he can just leave and let others slide in as a normal oocurnce. isn't like the paperwork a bit too much for a normal person? he is rich and spoiled, so he can do that, which is another thing i dislike. i want that much money too.
