>>46558577I do like Steven more since he's a bit more interesting as a character. He's the heir to the Devon Corp.; he's probably stupid rich and could do whatever he wanted, yet he chooses to spend all his free time in caves looking at rocks. In fact, he gives up his position as Champion in Emerald so he can do just that full-time. He doesn't want people thinking he's a "rock maniac," though. He speaks fairly causally despite his position and can even be a bit unsure of himself at times.
Cynthia on the other hand feels a lot more stoic. It makes her more Champion-like I guess but also kind of boring. She likes studying Sinnoh's myths but that's nowhere near as interesting as an autistic obsession with minerals. Oh, and she doesn't show up nearly as much as Steven and when she does it's usually just to tell you to do something or go somewhere. Steven will give advice or show you something cool and even battles with you in Emerald.
Cynthia does have a much better team and fight, though. It leaves a pretty big impression unlike Steven's. Plus she's a woman so you know.
