I prefer Hoenn Elite Four, just for the mythical theme song :p
And 'coz I find it harder than the Kanto E4 (Damn Phoebe).

They're both awesome, although I like Kanto's more for several reasons, including the fact that your rival is the champion afterwards and it's like "Ash vs. Gary on the big arena for the championship" and plus, Kanto's has Lance, Lance is one of the best trainers ever. 8)

That's true, but I never understood why you didn't become the de facto champion yourself. Even once you've beaten Gary and gone through his whole shpiel, he still won't step down.

My thoughts exactly! Except, while it did take me a few tries to beat the Elite Four in Hoenn, it took me a lot longer just to find my way through Victory Road.

Heonn in a heartbeat. I hate the Kanto squad with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

Lorelei was cool, but Luno was the most embarrassing thing that´s ever happened to Pokemon (I was furious they brought him back in HG, but Lorelei didn´t make the cut. In fact, I was furious G and HG leeched off Kanto´s success in the first place). Agatha might have been some less important NPC in my mind, Lance...isn´t even worth talking about, he´s so lame, and Blue...I wanted to rip my eyeballs off.

The Heonn group was much more decent, yet I´m angry that they are completely irrelevant to the story. They didn´t have a E4, so they made one up on the spot, with absolutely no background and never to be heard of again. They were nothing but plot devices.

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.
Lorelei: <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 She is completely amazing. And the fact that Will replaces her in GSC and HGSS makes me hate Will by default.
Bruno: ...Yeah, sure, whatever.
Agatha: Cool old lady with cooler Ghosts. She wins.
Lance: With that sprite he looks horrid. I hate his look overall, and I don't really care for him.
Blue: Yeah, he's cool, but he's not as great as someone like Lorelei.

Sydney: Hi Mr. Australian!!!!! BTW, you're weird. I don't remember ever really facing you, you're just that forgetable. I only remember your name because it's Sydney.
Pheobe: You look like ****. Bye ****.
Glacia: Agatha hits you in your face with her cane. You are better than others though.
Drake: ...You need a peg leg :3 You're almost coolio though :3

Nice captions for them all ;)

Yeah, I prefere Hoenn Elite Four, it's a better mix of types, but that's just my opinion, I do like Kanto E4 ofc just Hoenn slightly beats them for me, it would be better if they were rematchable 60-70's, hopefully in an R/S/E remake. I do agree that Lorelei is beautiful <3

Kanto. Pokémon Sapphire was the first game I played, and without any real experience in the series I was able to pwn the Elite 4 on my first try. Kanto's Elite 4 made me practice, train, and try different tactics until I finally figured out a way to beat Blue.

Hoenn is still my favorite region.

Same here. I've beaten the Hoenn E4 more times than I can count. I find Kanto much more difficult, and have only beaten them once or twice.

I prefer the Hoenn Elite Four because I am used to it more than the Kanto Elite Four. I've played through Ruby and Emerald way more times than Fire Red.

I prefer Hoenn and i'm not sure why. I played through Emerald for the first time in years and totally forgot about the members of the Elite four bar Wallace. It was amazing, like a new game!

kanto definatively,they left more impact on me and were harder if you ask me...i completely destroyed the champ and e4 in emerald,while in fire red lalilulelo girl and lance were such a pain...and maybe agathas gengars too,but not nearly as much as these two...on the other hand,hoenn elite 4 has an awesome beat,while kanto has a normal gym leader song,but then kanto has a waaaay better final boss theme than hoenn...

I dunno why but I just liked Hoenn. I liked the typing of the Elite Four members (Dark, Ghost, Ice, and Dragon). They looked unique also, so yeah. And I liked how there were two champions.

I also like the Elite Four battle theme better.
