Why isn't she in the new game? It would've been the perfect opportunity to make her more popular
>>58496912>make her more popular Lmao don't even. Don't you mean make her even less popular with the humiliation
>>58496927Noone likes that ugly DEI bitch.
>>58496912She's on vacation with her gf Cynthia.
>>58496912pointless until you fix the hair
>>58496912Zoomers and Alphies have no idea who Audrey Hepburn is. She's a lost cause.
>>58496931except Lebanne
>>58496912unless they grew her hair out, made it not grey and de-aged her by about 20 years, she was never gonna be popular
>>58497107Comparing Diantha to her is an insult to Hepburn. No amount of "it's based on this!" helps save the design when she was supposed to be beautiful, but Diantha looks utterly fugly>>58497129The sad part is that the Teraleak posed her as early 20s. Lysandre going off about her age like this is literally him saying "WOULDN'T YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BE BEAUTIFUL?" at a woman half his age
>>58496912>Less art than Geeta
>>58497154>early 20sher skin is good, she could look that age .. if not for the hair!!!
>>58496912No female champion will ever be popular because Cynthia exists
>>58496912Best League music and best League design.The almost holy setting, those huge windows and fluttering curtains.Kinohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T6-_elUgu48&pp=ygUZUG9rZW1vbiB4eSBsZWFndWUgZGlhbnRoYQ%3D%3D
>>58497282I like her arena and music a lot.But other than mega-gardevoir and Aurorus, her team is kind of a mess and lacks identity.Hawlucha and Tyrantrum feel very out of place.Goodra feels like a pokemon she probably wouldn't use and its just there because le champions needs le pseudo legendary dragonGourgeist I can kind of see, but its not really something that should be on a champion's team
>>58497395She should've had Florges ive been saying thos for over 10 years. Insane misstep by game freak just because they wanted focus on gardevoir only
>>58497231this. they set the bar too high. you can't top perfection
>>58497170Yeah literally any color besides the dull gray-brown they gave her. I've seen art with her in dresses and with jewels in her hair, and it makes her look great. I think her wearing shorts and what looks like a suit jacket just made her look kinda like a butch old lady.
>>58496912They don't want decent designs to become popular again, people would hold them to a higher quality standard.
>>58497170>>58497579It’s something about her eyes that makes her seem old, imo
>>58497395the problem is that kalos despite being the supposed beauty-themed region doesn't have a lot in the way of beauty-themed mons, and a lot of the ones that do exist are either shitmons or have type overlap because the amount of new pokemon is significantly lowerand making diantha a psychic or fairy-themed champion would have come at the expense of stepping on the toes of gym leaders. technically wallace and alder got away with it but they were also from a third version and an optional postgame fight respectively
>>58497231Iris says hello
>>58497231No nu-male Champion either.No one has any problem with Lance and everyone loves Steven.Sure, Cynthia set the bar pretty high, but let's be honest, GF plain and simply someway somehow forgot how to make Champions after her for some reason. Not everything has to be Cynthia-tier, but everything since her has been below-average at best.There's a bigger far fundamental issue happening beyond Cynthia setting the bar too high.
>>58497937They are simply trying too hard. Im not going to be impressed nor am I going to remember the nth champion that gloats about how strong they are only for them to be a shitter. Its cringe we've seen it again and again. I geniunely like Diantha simply because they didnt even bother with that.
like this
>>58497937Iris was the best Champion though
>>58498193Iris had external problems Game Freak couldn't really fix due to the anime irreparably damaging her image. She has a great team, theme, design and aesthetic but came from games that not many people played and were following up BW's heckin epic subversion of expectationsThat being said if Iris was the XY Champion instead of Dianthack, people would've actually called her a glow up. It's the same time frame, if she "left" Unova to train in a new region and B2W2 set that up then you find out she was the CHAMPION of said region instead of being a nepobaby hire because Alder got too old and the protags of the last game disappeared then people would've probably actually been won over by Iris
>>58498247>iris leaves unova>3 games later you get to the champion>its some 20 something chocolate qt>looks vaguely familiar but you can't put your finger on it until she sends out haxorusThis could have been a KINO arc. My knees would hit the floor
>>58496927Humiliation Ritual
Can the next set be Galar themed?
>>58498193said no one, ever
>>58497409diantha was literally, literally made to shill mega gardevoir, she was never going to have another acemon
>>58497395>her team is kind of a mess and lacks identityYep. Cynthia has the same issue.
>>58498801The Audrey Hepburn hypothesis seems more credible
>>58498806nah
>>58498823yah
>>58497921
>>58498749Dialogue from some NPCS heavily imply of a legends game about Dynamax atleast
>>58498806>b-but older gameutterly mindbroken
>>58498850>literally just agreeing with someone>” Y-Y-YOU’RE MINDBROKEN!!”Stop projecting and take your meds.
>>58498810both are true
