3rd Gen Hoenn Champions: Steven or Wallace?

[Otherworld9)]

Steven was a very hard trainer to beat compared to Wallace. His pokemon are very strong and defensive, and his character fits my taste better than Wallace (not to mention his looks XD).

In my opinion, Steven is a great character and champion if he were to be one.

I love Wallace, but as a Gym Leader. ):

Steven was cool since he had Steel-types, and I felt like that was a great Champion-like thing to have. Even when Wallace was Champion, I still loved how Steven was in that cave to battle later on.

I liked Steven better. Wallace was harder for me to beat because I had a team that had a weakness to water; Blaziken, Aggron. But Steven did feel like you were facing the champion. I feel The Elite 4 and the Champion should have a more exotic feel to their team. The Elite 4 had Dark, Ghost, Ice & Dragon. Steel completes this trend because it's not a very common element. Water on the other hand throws the whole vibe off. Not to mention you already have a water gymleader.

So in terms of story line and game play; Definately Steven!!

Steven is more "champion material" in my eyes. Wallace seems more relaxed and as such dosen't really feel like a champion.

Steven's team is also more challenging with the psuedo legendary Metagross compared to Wallce's MIlotic as their main pokemon.

Wallace could have been more challenging with a better team. They seem to deliberately have chosen a weaker team for Wallce to make it easier for the player which is all well and good but sometimes that makes it boring. Steven's team has like this whole theme thing going for it and it just makes him seem even cooler.

Steven. He's hot as hell
But he was more difficult to beat, especially considering who I love to use as my team. I liked the challenge.
Did I mention he's hot?

 

[Pawz]

Steven just generally felt more advanced and more champion material than Wallace, purely because of his team having counters to alot of types, rather than Wallace's.

 

[Raichupacabra]

Steven because he was more fit to be champion unlike Wallace who was wierd. Also I hated "MILOTIC used RECOVER."

Also isn't it a bit strange that the 8th gym leader became the champion instead of an elite 4 member? Steven for me, definitely.

Steven was awesome. I'd prefer Wallace to STAY a gym leader.
If they remake R/S/E, then who would be the Champion?
-crossing fingers for Steven-

Steven. I saw him more of a champion than Wallace and at first Steven was a challenge. Wallace was just plain easy to get by when I had Tropius. So I prefer Steven all the way!

 

[Kitsune Genetica]

Steven. His team is solid, and it genuinely came out of left field when I first saw him in the champion spot way back when I was playing Sapphire. Wallace is good and all, but I couldn't see him as a champion with such little diversity in his team.

Steven for me, I don't like wallace too much, besides, as the person above me say, i found wallace team with little diversity, just look at his teams:

Wallace has 3 pure water, 1 water/ground and a water/ice

Steven has Steel/Flying, Rock/Bug, Rock/Grass, Ground/Psychic, Steel Rock and Steel/Psychic

 

[The Void]

Steven is definitely cooler than Wallace and I personally prefer Metagross to Milotic...

 

[wildkayaker]

I prefer Steven. My team walks over Wallace very easily and I remember Steven being a much harder challenge.
