Cynthia is not hard, people who think Cynthia are hard only think so for one of 2 reasons
1. they played DPPT when they are a small child and thus didn't know how the game worked properly, dragon type resisting all 3 starter types probably blew a lot of kids out
2. unironically and completely reddit osmosis, they see a bunch of people saying "omg cynthia is soooo hard" and assume its true or fool themselves into thinking its true, its the same thing with Whitney but to a lesser degree
(the hardest one is Volo, Red is also hard but only because you have to grind, if you're the right level he's easy but harder than Cynthia)
