Friend - Cynthia

Partner - Togekiss

Reason For Joining - Champions, the toughest trainers in their regions, they are smart, strong, and wouldn't hesitate to use an item or to switch their Pokemon, thats what makes them cool, they're different in every sense, well, except for Alder, I was kind of expecting more from his team in White.

I actually prefer Cynthia, not because of her Pokemon, I don't like them (mainly because they were about to defeat me like a trillion times when I first faced her), but, I think she's the only one who uses moves in a strategic way (For example, before attacking, her Milotic used Aqua Ring), and you get to know her in Pt before facing her, and you actually never expect what her team is going to be when you're going to face her for the first time, I must say it, when I first fought with her, I thought she would use Dark Pokemon (Those black clothes are tricky), and her only dark Pokemon was Spiritomb :O
And she also uses Togekiss in Pt., I love Togekiss :)

This place is in desperate need of a topic, so here goes!

If you were to create a new mono-type champion, which type would you give them and why?

I'd make an Electric type champion. I know at first this might sound weird, but if you consider the huge number of Electric types there are with intricate typings and strategies, it seems like the perfect type to make a very diverse team around. With bulky resistant Pokemon such as Eelektross and Rotom supporting more fragile powerhouses such as Magnazone and Jolteon, the Electric type Pokemon could deal tremendous amounts of trouble to any oncoming challengers. They'd just have to make sure the team is put together well with Pokemon such as Eelektross with Acid Spray leading to weaken the enemy for the agile damage dealers to take out easily. Plus how cool would an Electric type champion look! The answer is very.
 
A Flying-type Champion sounds almost too easy. I mean, Flying-types tend to have a ton of weaknesses, especially to common moves like Ice Beam or Thunderbolt.

I think a Ghost-type Champion would look pretty sick. And Ghost-types are usually very strong offensively and speedy, so they could land a hard hit or two. Unfortunately, there aren't enough Ghost-types to make a team diverse enough to prove to be a real challenge imo.
 
Hmm, I'd like a Flying-type champion too, but it does sound easy. Actually every mono-type trainer is fairly easy to defeat if you use the right Pokémon and moves. So I think I'll go with a Rock-type champion. We've had three Rock gyms, but they were always the first ones to defeat so I'd love to see a champion with something stronger than a Geodude or a Nosepass. And it's one of the types that haven't been used by the Elite Four + Champion yet.

Unfortunately, there aren't enough Ghost-types to make a team diverse enough to prove to be a real challenge imo.

And they still made three Elite Four members Ghost Mono-types. Though a Ghost-type Champion would be pretty cool.
 
As cool as it would be to do a flying, like you all pointed out it would be too easy. But rock would be just as bad. Especially since they are weak to two of the starter types, which people often use till the end of the game. You add fighting and ground in there, and it just makes a mess. Now, if I had to choose one besides flying, I would go with Alex's suggestion of an electric one or I would go with a fighting. Fighting is only weak to flying and psychic, so It could work. There is also a lot of diversity at both of those types.

Reason for Joining: Well the champions are the most respectful and looked up to trainers in the world. And the most challenging!

I once signed up before but I was never updated on the member's list. So I thought I'd try it again!

In answer to the topic:

If I had to choose a new mono-type champion, that differs from those currently? Excluding out the Steel, Water and Dragon types...I will have to say Normal or Electric types myself. Electric team would definitely have Eelektross, Emolga, Rotom-W, Galvantula, Magnezone and Jolteon. Normal type? Blissey, Miltank, Girafarig, Togekiss, Porygon2/Z, Ambipom. I think they'd be one interesting, yet challenging battles in -game.

Like I mentioned every Mono-type trainer is easy to defeat. Even though Fighting is only weak to Flying and Psychic if you have one or two Pokémon with those type of moves, they're easily defeated. It's one of the reasons Cynthia is so difficult to defeat, because she has such a diverse team (Blue too, and Alder but he doesn't count).

Friend - Lance

Partner - Dragonair

Reason For Joining - I'm a big fan of the champions. I especially like Lance and Steven a lot. Lance is my favorite - I don't even know why XD
I guess it is because of his dragon types... I love them! :)

Which Champion's Pokemon is your favorite?

Lance Dragonite. I have a Dragonite myself in almost every team and I love it. It's one of my favorite Pokémon!
But I also like Cynthia's Milotic a lot...

f you would reshuffle the champions, which champion would you place in what region?

I'd get rid of regional champions and make Cynthia the champion of every region. I don't have a preference for her personality or anything, but she's the only champion that ever posed a challenge to me whilst fighting them so imo she's the only one worthy of being known as a champion. :p On a related note, do you guys think the champions should be harder?
 
Depends on the champ. I think that Steven and Wallace definetly need to be stronger, along with Alder. Cynthia's good, and so are Red and blue.
Oh, and I agree with you for the most part on the Cynthia thing. She should be the champ of the last three regions, but not indigo league. Red should be champ there, just because he is red. :P

Why though? What has he ever done that warrants being champion? His team sucks and he's soooo weak! xD Incidentally, here's something to discuss :D

Red is supposedly champion of the Indigo League, but how strong do you think he actually is?
In my opinion, not strong at all. his team is terrible and he picked really odd Pokémon to use! Snorlax and Lapras are good Pokémon in general, but the rest of his team is really bad. Venosaur can be decent, but things like Blastoise, Charizard, Pikachu, they all suck D: I really wish he was harder because climbing to the top of Mt Silver to beat a Pikachu is not worth it >.>

He had that team because, well, he's supposed to be based on Ash.

That's true haha. Even so, Ash has some much cooler Pokémon that he could've used D: His Donphan, Heracross, Kingler, Muk & Tauros all would've been much more interesting to fight than a team of the starters. Although I know Red =/= Ash, I'm pretty sure there teams are somewhat similar? x]

Who d'you think would win out of Cynthia vs Alder? :o
