>>47594601Absolutely based retard, at that point in time, N was the new champion due to defeating Alder, in terms of title there is literally no difference between beating N and beating Alder, and on top of that you fight Ghetsis too, making BW's E4 a nonstop gauntlet with 2 champion level trainers.
>Who the hell cares about context?Duhh i don't know probably everyone making and playing the game at that point, fucking moron.
Alder is a fine champion but he was unironically 2deep for your average Pokefan retard who thinks a character begins and ends with how le epic and cool their battle is and not all the character development outside of it. Both Iris and Alder are S tier champs for totally different reasons.
