>>42142074I don't think Red and N really count even though they technically were champs.
>WallaceHe had no place being champion. They clearly wanted to make Steven into the Red of gen 3 so this little water faggot got promoted for some reason.
>Diantha Not as stupid as Wallace and if felt like she could've had some character to her but just didn't for some reason. Missed potential in every way but at least she isn't Wallace.
>IrisShe was hinted at being gifted so it made sense she became champ in B2W2. If only she actually did things then I might care about her more.
>KukuiHe made the league so it was fitting he'd be the stand-in champ. No real complaints.
>HauThey actually made him somewhat competent in USUM. I know everyone hates him but as a rival I'm not too disappointed at him being your first challenger.
>StevenHe has a decent personality, helps you through your journey, and has a pretty good team. The definition of above average.
>LanceHe was pretty much the leader of the E4 in gen 1 so no surprise he takes over when Red fucks off to Mt Silver for some reason. And he actually fucking helps against the bad guys which is unfortunately pretty rare. Loses points for 3 Dragonite.
>LeonHis team is alright and he definitely fits as a champion for a region like Galar. Too bad he's not fleshed out more and they went with a goofy personality but other than that I don't think he's too bad of a champion.
>BlueThe perfect end to a rival who's always one step ahead. Great team. Great Champ even if it was short lived.
>AlderHe may not have had the best team but he acted most like a champion would. Personality fleshed out and given a basic backstory to boot. Loses to Cynthia only because by the time you battle in game he's a pushover.
>CynthiaProbably the strongest champion there is. Way more personality than most characters in the game. Actually helps you in the game and helps against the big bag. This is what a champion should be.
