>>12571333>Because at least Lance 100% made sense as a champion after Kanto. And Dragon wasn't overused at the time.H-How..? W-What..?
How did she not make sense? She did exactly what Wallace did... Alder and Iris, I'm going to assume that they get along like Wallace and Steven did, and Iris was definitely powerful enough, let alone after two years of training, to succeed the older champion. Like the game says itself, Alder is getting old, and it implies that Hilbert/Hilda were off searching for N. Give a kid like Iris two years to train, and a reason TO train, and a friend perhaps helping her, Alder, and bam. You've got an Elite Four topping synth rock dragon using princess in space.
>tl;dr Iris could have done it.
