>>50387232>I always thought you fought with villains because you were the best option available at the time to deal with themIn gen 1, the champion is also a kid and wasn't the champion for most of the game so it's not applicable.
In gen 2, Lance tags along with you for one hideout raid, and makes you fight the admin while he fights a grunt.
In gen 3, Steven helps for one battle and then both Steven and Wallace make you go get the box legendary yourself.
In gen 4, Cynthia just stands there while you battle Cyrus.
In gen 5, Alder jobs to N, but at least he tried. Iris is nowhere to be seen during the BW2 Plasma incident.
In gen 6, Diantha did so little that I had to look her up to remember her name.
And gen 7 is the same as gen 1. There is no champion for most of the game.
