    Just wondering who peoples favorite elite four members are. (not including champions)

    My favorite is Lucien.

    Lucien has pokemon that cover the normal weaknesses of psychic types.

    mr mime- Allows him to set up screens early in the match. The soft clay would be made for this pokemon.

    alakazam- His version of a sweeper. A life orb would increase its power alon with some sp. atk/ speed evs.

    medicham- It always seems to come in when I've got something to get owned by an elemental punch. I think a pokemon like this could use an expert belt.

    girafarig- If I happen to be using shadow ball or another ghost move to sweep his team this usualy comes out to counter. Sadly I only remember it using double hit. I cant remember what else it knows.

    Bronzong- A tank. It can use calm mind to amplify its psychic while it has EQ and gyro ball for guys with high sp.def or just plain resistant to psychic.

    To sum up fighting his team: I normaly actualy get the feeling he's using all 6 pokemon when infact he only has 5. It could just be me but he is a brilliant psychic trainer. Even better than Will in my oppinion without factoring their level differences.

    If you were to give Lucien a 6th pokemon there's a number of options:

    Gardevoir. Has a great stat build and movepool. My gardevoir knows psychic, thunderbolt, will-o-wisp and calm mind.

    Grumpig. Also a great defense. Can utilize rest with snore and probably sleep talk but I'm not sure. Thick fat can give you the edge against fire and ice. Fire which plagues his bronzong. A rest user would fit right in with his team.

    Metagross. Perhaps he could set up a stealthrock and simply tank your way using just attack moves like psychic, EQ, metior mash or even explosion for an epic way to go out.

    Slowking, Xatu, Espeon, Jynx and gallade are also some good ones.

    Kanto: Lance. He has 3 Dragonite to beat almost anyone with in HG/SS.

    Johto: Lance, for the same reason (I know that he's the champion, so yeah)

    Hoenn: Sidney. He looks like a rock star.

    Sinnoh: Flint. I liked his personality in the games and the anime.

    Unova: Caitlin. It's good to see her back from Pt/HG/SS.

    Lance-Dragons FTW
    Koga-He's a freakin' ninja!
    Drake-Dragons again :3
    Lucian-He looks awesome, and has some sweet Pokemon. Great monotype user; his actually cover weaknesses well.
    Grimsley-aside from my love of all things Dark, his quotes are epic.

    My second Favorite would have to be Drake because Hoenn introduced enough dragon pokemon to actualy make an awesome team out of them alone.

    Sidney comes in soon behind with his annoying things like double team sword dance, cotton spore, I think taunt or torment and swagger while keeping attack moves comming.

    Kanto: The Rival - After he boasts about being SO AWESOME, you beat his smug ass and it feels satisfying. Coupled with the fact of a well-developed personality.

    Johto (Kanto - 3 Years Later): Lance - Thanks to battling the Rockets and him previously being in the E4 he's easy to identify with. Also reflects the hero-type trait exhibited in the Player Character.

    Hoenn: Steven - He's got a mysterious presence to him even though you meet him a decent amount of times. I didn't like Wallace as a Champion, he was perfectly placed as a Gym Leader in R/S.

    Sinnoh: Flint - He actually was given a chance to have character development and is shown to be extremely caring and willing to leave the Elite Four every once in a while to chill will Volkner, etc.

    Unova: Marshal - I find him interesting. Super formal, dedicated to training, and besides he's the first legit Black guy in Pokémon. I'm surprised they didn't add other races sooner.

    Lance, he was the first real major blockage of the E4 for me, I had to try 3 more times to beat him, which I never did for any other league :x

    Lance, Will, Lucian, and thenn.. Caitlin and Grimsley tie for gen 5.

    Most of those are based on Appearance, but there's also a bit of type-bias going on. XD

    Kanto: Agatha, cool in Anime. Mysterious...

    Johto: Karen, cool in Manga. She was really hard for me to beat.

    Hoenn: Glacia, the underdog. Cool Walrein, enough said.

    Sinnoh: Bertha, I like her strategy, looking for any changes in the battlefield. Anime Reference.

    Unova: Shauntal and Caitlin tied. Shauntal, because of her reading/writing. Caitlin because of her connection to the Battle Castle.

    My favourite E4 member would have to be... Sidney
    His dark type Pokemon are pretty cool.
    If they remake Ruby/Sapphire, he would have more options to choose from, even attacks!
