3rd Gen Kanto's E4 Vs. Hoenn's E4.

So, which do you prefer? The nostalgic first Elite's? Or the Hoenn Quads? Which one and why?

Maybe the good ol' Kanto Elite 4; Consisting of Lorelei, Bruno, Agatha, Lance and of course, Blue! Who prefer the types of Ice, Fighting, Ghost, Dragon & Mixed.

Or, do you prefer the Elitist's from Hoenn? Sydney, Phoebe, Glacia, Drake, Steven and Wallace. Who prefer Dark, Ghost, Ice, Dragon, Steel and Water.

Note: Steven is the champ in R/S Whilst Wallace is the Champ in Emerald.

Pretty much the Hoenn Elite Four.

Not because of it's unique typing (ie: Dark, Ghost, Ice, Dragon, Steel, Water), but because how difficult they are compared to what the Kanto Elite Four is. Let's also not forget moveset choices as well.

I'm sorry if I can't come up with anything else other than this. But I quite enjoyed Hoenn's E4 despite them being the only E4 to not get a boost. That and the music is quite better than the Kanto E4 as well.

Kanto E4 is good for a challenge first time and are just more fun overall
Hoenn's E4 I find good because I don't need to buy any items and I can save my money

Kanto's E4 because you get to battle your rival in the end.

This is a flawed argument. People keep saying how they like Hoenn's interesting mix of types...some of those types didn't exist Gen I. Anyhow, I prefer Gen I...just cuz XD

I, myself, prefer Kanto's. Higher Levels, PLUS the fact that they get stronger the more you beat them, where as the Hoenn E4 is set at static levels between the low 40's to mid 50's no matter HOW frequently you destroy them.
In Emerald, Steven takes the cake though. He may not be the Hoenn E4 Champ in Emerald (being replaced by that water-treading Wallace), but his Pokemon are in the upper 70's when you face him in Meteor Falls.
But without a doubt, Kanto's E4 is superior to Hoenn's.
Lorelei >>>> Glacia
Bruno >>>>> Sidney
Agatha << Phoebe (Give Phoebe Agatha's team along with her Lv. 52 Dusclops and a Sableye and I'll give her that. Plus she's young and HOT. Don't judge me. =.=)
Lance >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Drake
Gary MOTHERTRUCKIN' Oak = Steven (Steven with his Emerald Team)
Gary MOTHERTRUCKIN' Oak >(x70) Wallace (Mainly because Wallace was a LOT easier than Steven was in R/S.)

Kanto elite 4 FTW!
It was the first time I beat the elite 4 ever.
They were the hardest elite 4 as well because they use the strongest, rarest, and most badass pokemon in the game.
For example:
Lorelei had the freaking loch ness monster (Lapras)
Bruno had a goro clone (Machamp)
Agatha had demonic spirits (Gengar)
and Lance was Lance, his whole team was badass.

Kanto, The first Elite Four I had to play against. Hoenn would be my second favorite though, so it's hard to choose.

Honestly, I like both, but Kanto wins simply because Blue is the best Champion ever. Period.

As much as it pains me to admit it, because I love Hoenn SO much more than Kanto, I would have to say I prefer Kanto's Elite Four by a smidge, a couple of the members just seem to stand out more, or something.

The only thing I can say I liked about Hoenn's E4 was facing Steven after you beat them. I'm not too fond of the Kanto E4 either but in this situation I'll have to side with them.

Hoenn cause Emerald was my first game...

I prefer Kanto's Elite Four, mainly for nostalgia value. I haven't actually gone through the 3rd gen Kanto Elite Four too many times, but whenever I battle those trainers, they remind me of my first few times beating the Elite Four back on Red Version. I've also never been a fan of Hoenn's Elite Four--the trainers have never appealed to me much, and Steven's definitely not one of my favorite champions.

Overall, I prefer the mix of Elite Four members in the Johto-based games better than the original Kanto members, but as the original Kanto Elite Four contains several of the same members (I'm especially partial to Lance), Kanto still ranks above Hoenn on the Elite Four scale.

I vote Kanto because it was the first elite4 I faced (but lost) and I like all the members ( but lorelie who I lost to):\
