Did any anons here ACTUALLY struggle with this overhyped bitch? I don't know anyone who actually struggled with Cynthia besides 5 year olds and braindead kids the way these normies actually claim they did. Maybe her Spiritomb and it's double team, but other than that, it was whatever for me.
>>
No i just sweeped her with Torterra because im not retarded.

No I was able to sweep her with Delcatty. Though she is probably the hardest champion.

hard fight
strongest champion
gen 4 Garchomp

i "struggled" because of high dp level spike between gym 8 and league, not because of the fight itself

Clearly they must have because she's the only champion with a bunch of faggots trying to "debunk" her.
>>57216079
His life is dedicated to hating the DS games, any positive praise of the DS games is a crime in his eyes.

Not really, i just had scizor use swords dance 3 times on her set up bait spritomb
and bullet punch her team into oblivion, lances 3 dragonites in heartgold? Now that's an actual challenge

I have never fought Cynthia.
>>
>>57216047
It’s mostly from the influx of newfags who started with DP, since most of the people still into Pokemon were at an age to get into it when the DS dropped.
>>
>>57216047
As a kid I found her easy-ish when I first played platinum but then played diamond and found her hard there. As an adult... just no.
>>
>>57216178
Every gen was someone's first gen, not an argument.

Lance spamming Full Restores like a faggot was a bigger struggle than slugging it out with her.

I think you know perfectly what it means and you're just assblasted because it applies to yourself.
>>
>>57216260
Ah yes the Hall of Fame screenshot is a perfect indicator of a lack of skill.
>>
>>57216267
It is though, it shows a great level of insecurity from the player. That is why Delcattyschizo, the most insecure poster of /vp/, always spams hall of fame screenshots.
>>
>>57216206
Try again, anon. Your reading comprehension may not fail you next time.
>>
>>57216082
More like:
First female champion
Sexo
Boobies
Has halfway decent team with some variety
Boobies

this
Its always funny when these threads pop out.
Cynthia filtering players already happened years ago, you cant undo it. Its part of pokemon history.
then she did it again in gen 5
and in BDSP
>>

>>
>>57216864
Previous champions before her were all men so she's the first one with boobies.
>>
>>57216047
Yes, she swept me 10 times in a row and I had to use action replay to beat here. So did all of my friends
>>
>>57216868
shitthia is a chestlet
>>
>>57216895
I'll take what I can get!
>>
>>57216047
I used Infernape, Staraptor, Rotom, Floatzel, Garchomp and Lucario, bitch didnt stand a chance.
>>
>>57216069
HGSS is a waste of time also he is retard for using more than 4 mons.
>>
I beat her with a Lickilicky
>>
It didn't take me more than one try but I also used a bunch of items and I was a dumbass kid with bad movesets and only had 5 pokemon the whole game until I got deoxys from a gamestop (to clarify how much of a dipshit I was, I saw he had a defense nature and made him deoxys defense)
>>
>>57216047
The only parts I really struggled with was her Garchomp and her Spiritomb.
Garchomp because he is fast and hits hard, but he can be overcome. The problem comes from Spiritomb.
Back before Gen 6, the Ghost/Dark typing had NO counters, so the only way to defeat it is to push through. I feel this also ruled the meta with Wonderguard Spiritomb/Sableye, because only SE moves can hit them, and it has no weaknesses.
Maybe you can tank it with Toxic, but you need to run a very tanky team to survive.
>>
>>57216047
Yeah, im still stuck on her after 19 years. I cant beat her
>>
>>57216047
you can say normalfag here xister
>>
>>57216047
She was hard the first time when I was a kid. And in BW when I was about 20 levels below and had no idea she was there until I heard the piano.
>>
>>57216069
If anything those screenshots imply he is at least decent. Considering he managed to beat Lance this underleveled.
>>
>>57216047
No, but I always like to be at least 10 levels higher than the E4. So most of my mon were 70.
>>
>>57217818
Same here. I only had difficulties with her during the rematches in Brilliant Diamond, but for my initial playthroughs I try to be higher leveled than the champion so she wasn't too tough.
>>
>>57216047
beat her first try, people overhype her because they want to have sex with her
>>
>>57216069
>beat lance with absolute shitters like Dewgong, Dunsparce, and Forretress while handicapping himself with an HM slave Spearow
So DSfags are better than 90% of the other posters on this board
>>
>>57217830
She is rightfully acknowledged as the strongest pokemon champion with the best team that gave players the most trouble compared to other champions
FACT
>>
I never had that much trouble with her originally, but in the remakes giving her Garchomp a Yache Berry was pretty evil.
>>
>>57216047
No, I had literally not even considered her on the radar for tough. Her fight wasn't memorable. I remember Iris felt tough at first glance going into it but that was only because she led with Hydreigon so that left an impact on me because I remember wondering what the rest of her team would be like, but the fight itself winded up being fine too. The hardest fight for me was still Red, where I could beat him but it required much more careful thought and pipelining with heal item spam and mon sacrificing.
>>
>>57217301
That's actually smart, no one uses Defense form enough anyway
>>
>>57218227
It's just as easy as any other champion fight. You're bad, fact.

Yeah, it's a pokemon game. They're all retardedly easy.
>>

Good to know we’re all on the same page then. Children are stupid and Cynthia sucks just as much as all the other shitty champions, and OP should kill himself.

Sure, but some are easier than others. Like USUM is probably the hardest.

You say this all the time and it will never be true. Every pokemon game is an effortless 1/10 difficult experience.

Actually I'd say most (assuming you aren't grossly overleveled) are about 3/10, with XY, SWSH and LGPE at 1. Also I don't say this all the time, it's probably some other anon.
>>
Every Pokemon game is easy except for ones that require you to go out and find good Pokemon, so Pt, HGSS, XY, and SV
>>
>>57218905
Shame her stats weren't buffed. But the improved Ai and movesets makes it all the worthwhile.
>>
>>57218901
Life Orb and Sheer Force is a deadly combo, even on Druddigon, Flying Gem Acrobatics is a common strategy, Wide Lens + Sing is honestly unexpected, imo the biggest threat is Focus Sash Haxorus, it tanks a hit, guaranteeing at least one Dragon Dance, which, from experience can be dangerous.
>>
>>57218964
Funny, when I did one a few years ago (albeit with Emboar), I only got to level 60.
>>
>>57218956
I will later. I've got a life you know. But to update you on progress, I've got a level 39 Serperior and I'm up to Skyla, I have fought every single trainer in the game up to this point. I even had a guide open to make sure I didn't miss any.

It was definitely not a cakewalk, but I always beat her first try. I didn't even know people struggled with her.

Because her teams shits on the gen 1-3 champ teams

>>57219339
And I shat on the gen 1-3 champs.
>>
>>57216047
The context for why Cynthia is notable is that in most games the champion is easier than the elite four.
>>
Cynthia is hard by pokemon game standards
I don’t understand why this is hard to understand for some people
>>
>>57216047
It's a children's game you retarded incel of course you didn't struggle with a challenge designed for 5 year old, do you also solve Ages 3+ jigsaw puzzles and complain about how overhyped they are on /tg/ you fat fuck ?
>>
>>57219409
But Pokémon is piss easy. You shouldn't struggle with a slightly harder fight.

>>

When you’re a kid yes
>>
>>57219507
But OP asked if anyone besides young children struggled with it. I was like 14 when I played gen 4 and obviously has no trouble with it. But people seem to think she's difficult even as adults, which would be pathetic.

Never understood why people think Cynthia is actually difficult. Even as a kid I had way more trouble taking on most of the elite four members than her team, Pretty sure I've lost to HGSS Lance more times than I've struggled against Cynthia.

>>57218874
>>57218883
>>57218905
>Like USUM is probably the hardest.
I'll also never understand why people make this argument either. Every time I've played any gen 7 games I've thrown the most random shit on my team, and as long as it has STAB type advantage, it wins whatever battles I need it to. Gen 6+ games have too many options for anything in those games to be difficult, not to mention the exp share making grinding up a filler role, if you do somehow end up struggling, extremely easy to do.

I struggled with XY's Elite Four one playthrough but I was underleveled from skipping every route trainer I could and had such amazing Pokemon as Chesnaught, Mega Blastoise, and Avalugg
>>
>>57216047
I used a Vespiquen in Diamond
And swept 5/6 of her pokemon.
She only fainted because of a Giga Impact crit
Then I just threw in Weavile and he one shot garchomp
>>
>>57220058
Why do you format your posts like such a retard?
>>

Why does it trigger /vp/ that Cynthia is considered hard and her fight gave trouble to many in the pokemon fanfom?
Is it because she is a blonde girl?

Dunsparce can solo the game
On top on that he also used Typhlosion

I have the havit to heal+save as soon I enter a town and before getting into houses. When I found her I didn't have problems.

And talking about exaggerated battles, maaaany people missed the Machop that makes the battle against Miltank easier.
