>>44704575I'm confused as to why the series wanks Cynthia as hard as it does. When you look at other champion figures - Lance and his dragons and crimefighting, Alder traveling the region to kick ass and teach others important life lessons, etc. - Cynthia is really just a really attractive mythology geek that turns out to be the Champion at the end. Kinda like female Steven or something. I feel half convinced that she got memed into god-tier Trainer status after DPPt and everyone bitching about how hard they got raped by her Garchomp.
