>>50764462Pretty much. Cynthia appears exactly three times in DP.
1. Eterna City (HM Cut)
2. Psyduck route (SecretPotion rehash)
3. Pokémon League (champion battle)
She does not appear in her hometown of Celestic.
She does not comment on any of the ruins scattered around the region.
She shows up to disable a contrived roadblock or two and then fucks off until the final battle.
For all intents and purposes, DP Cynthia is interchangeable with one of Oak's unnamed aides from RBY.
Pearl Version was the one time I reached a champion battle and had to stop and ask "Who the hell is this person? Am I supposed to recognize her?"
It's telling that Platinum nearly tripled Cynthia's dialogue, and even the infamously faithful BDSP added an extra scene in Hearthome.
