Pic is how I would describe how I feel about the champions. Cynthia and Blue and maybe Steven were the only good ones, I put Alder in there because I like him as a character and he did have an integral role in BW and the sequels, despite losing embarrassingly to N and then basically handing over the Championship and letting her win out of obligation to let the next generation take over.
Diantha was seriously the worst champion ever, barely shows up in the game, you don't even get enough of her to find any personality, looks weird as fuck and had the easiest team ever. Even for fucking Pokemon, she was too easy. Her only saving grace was that her theme was awesome and to me felt like a great culmination of my adventure, but it deserved a way better champion.

XY's default for Calem looks faggy but he does has some interesting customization choices.

Gen 2 Kanto wasn't perfect but they had the right idea, worthy mention for postgame.
