I'm sure it seems weird to be able to battle her once a day during those two seasons, but there will be different characters coming to visit her each day such as the two Elite Four Members, Caitlin and Shikimi. So even though it doesn't really make sense to battle her once everyday, characters will be there and will be adding on to the storyline as well.

But yes, we will be able to have rematches with Cynthia, which is a great relief for those who are really looking forward to seeing her. :)

Yeah I heard that too (I was just afraid that part was similar to the Champion being Belle situation...), though I just realized if the game comes out in NA in March it would be Winter...that is if we are kept in line with the Japan seasons, so no battle with Cynthia for a month :(...but then again we would be busy beating the game during that month :P

The thing about that is that, like Fushigidane-Chan said, no one's been able to rebattle her. I've been reading around on other forums as well. :/

I have yet to win my battle with her, but I'm gonna have to try and see if I can rebattle her the following day. I certainly hope this is some sort of misunderstanding.

What if you can only battle her at a certain time like how you had to call the gym leaders in HgSs at a certain time for a rematch only this time you actually go to the place and ask for a rematch?

>.<" that sucks. I was looking forward to it, too

That's what's been reported, but it's not true. It's once a week, once a month, or once, period. It's not once a day.

Ho-Oh October 5th, 2010 9:07 PM

I don't understand the confusion. Actually, where's the source of not once a day? D: Playthrough or...?

Though either way in the third game we'll all get to battle her, everyday, no matter what, lol. Imo, at least.

No one has been able to rebattle her? Ive battled here like 5 times already lol.

Is there maybe something you have to do that some people aren't doing I wonder?...

so he is still champ because Wallace hasn't defeated him yet.

I don't remember Wallace defeating Steven. They just replaced him in Emerald. Emerald is not a sequel to Ruby/Sapphire, it's a third version that changes the story.

Good! That means she can be battled again. I was reading other posts on forums saying they were unable to rebattle with her on following days. =(

Prometheus October 7th, 2010 8:08 AM

Well, She is a very very popular character.

MrGriszell October 7th, 2010 10:34 PM

I just kicked her butttttt (using 1 pokemon) with my level 70 Ulgamos without loseing any HP. i feel so proud LOL

MrGriszell October 10th, 2010 8:11 PM

I cant rebattle her i wonder why?

kohei October 11th, 2010 7:36 AM

I can't rebattle her, she just keeps asking me what color bikini she should wear tomorrow.

The being said, her room is pretty fun, since talking to the people there reveals more about them.
Didn't know Fuuro and Kamitsure are good friends until they mentioned it there.

[edit]
According to the Japanese BW wiki, rematches are limited to spring only.

delthero October 11th, 2010 10:45 AM

it is cool she made an appearence i beat her second try because i did not know she was that high of a level :) it shows ties to the older gens though which i like.

Yeah, it seems Serebii also secretly updated their page on it as well,

"Spring Only"

A bit of a bummer, but I'm glad that you can rematch her at some point. I also find it great she asks you what color bikini she should wear tomorrow, XD Is that really what she says?

Yep, mystery solved. She remains in Sanzami City for both Spring and Summer, but she only battles you during Spring.

Yeah, it's true. The whole script's been translated.

Glad that was cleared up. There will be other visitors to visit Cynthia and yourself during some parts, so that's probably why.

I'm glad Cynthia puts on quite a challenge (or so many people had a difficult time defeating her) when battling you though. The levels are pretty high in this game so I know I'm going to have to put on a lot of training throughout the game. n_n; I am however, thrilled to battle her again as she's my favorite character in the Pokémon games. Back in DPPt she wasn't too difficult for me, so I'm hoping this time I'll get the challenge I've expected from her.

This time she's packing the "invincible" Shibirudon and Wargle replacing Roserade and Togekiss, which kind of made her team weaker in Platinum, imo.

I was a bit disappointed to see Togekiss go though. :( One of my favorites. <3

Heart's Soul October 16th, 2010 8:51 AM

Togekiss was hard in Platinum, I don't like her having Wargle.

I personally think it's a good change to have a female professor for once. Also, they always tend to have other gym leaders or champions appear in different regions; it's nothing new and it's certainly not "recycling".
The person who plays the games usually like to see a old gym leader or old champion appear in newer games because it gives a sense of nostalgia.

How is that stupid they have always recycled Oak anyways, plus SS had Cynthia too, it also had Steven stone...plus I'm tired of Oak >_<

Togekiss was pretty difficult to defeat, but Wargle isn't a walk in the park, either. And I love the addition of Shibirudon. As much as I love Roserade and Grass-types, it was undeniably the weakest member of Cynthia's team.

Planetes. October 16th, 2010 12:13 PM

Most people assumed Gastrodon was her weakest link, although its probably Roserade, but how about we stop dwelling in the past.

Genosekuto October 16th, 2010 12:13 PM

I think its awesome that we get to pwn Cynthia again.
I can't wait for the game :D

Mijumaru123 October 16th, 2010 12:35 PM

Is anybody else puzzled on why Cynthia would get a Shibirudon?

I just like to pretend Cynthia never had a Gastrodon. :P

Probably because they wanted to make Cynthia challenging, and what's more challenging than a Pokemon with no weaknesses? She does have a Spiritomb too, after all.

kohei October 16th, 2010 9:25 PM

What I really like about her appearance in BW is how it shows more of her character.
A few facts you find out about her:

- She is (possibly) a heavy shopper, as hinted by she mentioning how she brought too much swim wear.

- She isn't good at cleaning (she says she wants to live in Sazanami, but that'll mean bringing all of her research notes. Then, she says to herself how it's really time she cleaned up her room.)

- Can't decide between a black or white bikini.

- Also according to a swimmer in the near by sea, she looks "great!... more like beyond words" in a bikini.

Yes. I thought it was strange seeing Cynthia with a Shibirudon. Why she has one is beyond me. I do like how she has Wargle, though.

Fushigidane-Chan October 16th, 2010 10:12 PM

Could someone classify for me what fits Cynthia and what doesn't, then? She doesn't have a general theme. As far as I'm concerned, Shibirudon fits her more than, say, Garchomp.

MrGriszell November 4th, 2010 1:02 AM

they said you can battle her in spring and summer but its autum and i can still battle her

Have you actually beaten her at all. Because i have and now i can't fight her. During the summer i think you can't fight her at all but only talk to her and the visitors she gets.

Cynthia doesn't really have a type fitting, correct. Her Pokémon are mixed with several of the types being Water, Electric, Dragon/Ground, Ghost/Dark, Fight/Steel and Normal/Flying; with none of them being the same type. I guess this doesn't really take importance as she is the Sinnoh champion where she doesn't exactly need a main type address. Aside from that, I'd say these Pokémon suit her. Cynthia doesn't really need an exact main type for her Pokémon since having different types makes the challenges harder. If she had almost all the same types for her Pokémon, it'll be pretty easy to beat her as long as you're within her level range (or higher) and have the Pokémon that the type she mains in has a weakness of. n_n Plus I think it's fine if only the Gym Leaders and Elite Four members have a main typing for their Pokémon, as they have a specific badge or Elite composition (like how their room design is supposed to match the type they have in Pokémon) for the type they are.

...And for those who want to know what Pokémon Cynthia has of the typing, I put them in spoilers since I don't want to ruin anybody's surprise of her Pokémon as well. >w>
Spoiler:
Water (Milotic)
Electric (Shibirudon)
Dragon/Ground (Garchomp)
Ghost/Dark (Spiritomb)
Fight/Steel (Lucario)
Normal/Flying (Wargle)

B/W isn't a remake though, so how could that be definite? I mean, it would be awesome if in a future game there could be a Gym Frontier where you could battle all gym leaders is order, starting with Brock and ending with the last B/W leader, then the champs and wandering trainers, like Ash, Steven/Wallace, or people like in DPPt, such as Riley.

It's to note, though, that Cynthia usually employs Pokemon with few or no weaknesses. Spiritomb and Shibirudon have no initial weaknesses, Lucario sports a broad array of immunities / resistances from typing, Milotic / Garchomp only have two weaknesses (though she also used Gastrodon at one point, which only has one weakness).

Well most assume R/S/E takes place at the same time as RGBYFrLg because of the Kanto remakes and they think the same about GSCHgSs and DPPt happening at the same time only because those games (FrLgHgSs) were remade in the same gens as Hoenn and Sinnoh were introduced so they think the same would apply to B/W if R/S or E are/is remade...
though really I don't think RSE takes place in the same time as either Kanto or Isshu's stories as there is no proof unlike GSC and DPPt where their is proof...
