>>29347944Hmm. The only starter I like from gen 3 is sceptile, so Wallace was never a problem for me. Usually by that point I have a psychic type to take care of Tentacruel and a flying or poison type to take care of Ludicolo, so...
I never really had much trouble against Steven either (you simply can't play through hoenn and don't have a pokemon that knows surf).
I like Steven better as a champion, but I think Wallace is tougher to face.
