Topic	Would you say Cynthia is the Pokemon games' 2nd most iconic trainer/fight
PiOverlord 08/07/21 9:56:11 AM #30:	Idk, it might depend on the circumstances. I beat her first try in Platinum... but that was with the power of max revives. Additionally, some of the people may have been younger and not really valued having a full team of strong pokemon. As I said, when I was younger, I couldn't even get to her in Diamond because I just grinded Torterra while leaving the rest of my pokemon behind. I got murdered pretty easily in the Elite Four (I guess the rest of the game must have been easy up to that point because nothing ever made me stop and think if my strategy of only focusing on one pokemon was majorly flawed). I mean, it took me until the 7th generation to actually try to incorporate strategies other than "put MAX POWER moves on each pokemon." I used to be a Fire Blast fanboy. Not only that, but I really ignored the value of STAB and attack vs special attack. To me, higher number = better number (so I would put high powered special attack moves on a physical attacker or vice versa). Shoot, I still don't even bother with EV's. Also, IV's could make your pokemon be sucky, but do you think us younger kids ever bothered to check that kinda stuff? I still don't give a damn, especially with modern-day pokemon where they really made it easy to get through the main campaign. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 33, 500th posts: 31; PiO ATTN: 5 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE <cite>PiOverlord posted [p:956861313] in Would you ...
