I will say, even though X and Y are arguably the weakest main games in a series, the architecture in both games are some of the best in the series. The Pokemon League building in Kalos is gorgeous.
Hawlucha > wrestling is all about the show, shes an actress Tyrantrum> Royalty Goodra> Pseudo, prob the most cutesy dragon anyway Aurorus> pretty Gourgeist> effeminate/cute again Gardevoir> a guardian angel, peep Diantha's clothes
Her team also fits with the fact that all of her Pokémon debuted in Kalos, arguably with the exception of her Gardevoir, except it can Mega Evolve, a feature also introduced in this very Generation.
I saw this in one comment on a vid Hawlucha - action movie Tyrantrum - sci-fi movie (jurassic Park) Goodra - kids movie (kinda looks like barney) Aurorus - historical movie (fossil Pokémon) Gourgeist - Horror movie Gardevoir - movie star/romance (?) movie
Let's be honest. Diantha being Kalos' Champion was predictable. Her team had serious trouble with weaknesses and she is the easiest Champion to beat. But. She and her stage had an amazing design, her theme is also one of the best ever made.
I think Wallace was actually easier myself. (Along with Leon, Hau, and Lance in G/S/C) The main problem with Diantha's team is that they're slow, and she's too focused on showing the new gen 6 Pokémon instead of taking better Pokémon from past gens. Gardevoir was only included because of the whole "Mega evolution" thing. I was all "...Huh? Gardevoir? why- ...Ooooooh."
I feel like X and Y would’ve been amazing if they weren’t so...I don’t know, rushed? They needed to flesh it out. We needed a longer story. We only saw diantha for like 1 minute prior to this battle. And we didn’t even see most of the gym leaders until their battles either. I don’t know, it just seems squished and rushed. This gam had so much potential.
SM were also rushed to meet the 20th anniversary deadline. That's why there's so little content in them and they feel like a half-finished game. Gen 5 was the peak of Pokemon IMO, it's gone downhill since then and is largely becoming just a nostalgia vehicle. Apparently phone games are rapidly taking over in Japan, so handheld and console games are now making games with less content for people with short attention spans.
Pokemon Z man... It was meant to happen but because of either ORAS or SM it got scrapped. That game would've fixed the flaws XY had just like Platinum did for DP. So much potential.. ( *They still did nothing with Zygarde :/* ) As a result the games get an unfair amount of hate (mostly from Gen 5 fans) because this third game didn't came out.
Actually, I think sometimes games are only put out in pairs rather than threes. Like FRLG, HGSS, or BW. But yeah, I like gen 5 and a Pokemon Z might have had more content. XY would have been significantly improved if you could turn off the roller skates.
FRLG and HGSS as well as ORAS are remake and come out as a pair of games, gen 5 is the only exception because the "third game" was turned into a sequel. USUM is the third game of SM split in 2. XY are the only games without 3rd game wich is sad
Sheer Cold doesn't ALWAYS hit when you're higher level, the percentage of it hitting just goes up once every level. The only instance it can be 100 accuracy is when a level 100 Pokemon uses it on a level 30 one.
I only like the fact her Ace Pokémon is Gardenvoir, my favourite. Her design was pretty, but she is the weakest and most forgettable champion, and even her other Pokémon are just "normal".
Volcarona is a wonderfull Pokémon, Accelgor and Escavalier are really likeable. Bouffalant is good, great attack,great Speed. But with all the many Pokémon in BW, like Haxorus,like Excadrill,Seasmitoad,Braviary,Bisharp,Krokoodile,Hydregon, Conkeldurr, Beartic why the fuck he have Druddigon and Vanilluxe?? Why 3 Bugs Pokémon?
I honestly think that Diantha's team fits her perfectly, if you put her team in the context of her role as a movie star: Aurorus and Tyrantrum: Jurassic Park Gourgeist: Horror Movies Hawlucha: Boxing/Wrestling Movies Goodra: Fantasy Movies Gardevoir: Beautiful Actress And hey, her team might be "easier" than most Champions, but her team's overall level is the highest (even higher than Leon's).
I know Diantha is probably the easiest champion ever, but can we take a moment to appreciate the aesthetics here? That champion chamber is so beautiful, and I love the opening animation to the battle, plus the musics so cool.
Even though this battle was definitely one of the easiest champion battles I have ever seen, the theme that came with it was still awesome. Also the scene where Az reunites with his Floette still makes me emotional.
This is not Alder. You know, the guy N had already beaten by the time you got there? Not to mention it's said in the game that he's not even actually a Champion level trainer. He just held the position of Champion in the League and those are two entirely different things. He's never even beaten a Champion and his theme is a dogshit "yay, you've already won you winner you". Pfft.
Nah. I think she's rated properly. Literally every other champion is either tougher than her, or has more personality, or more character development than her.
Me too. Especially because she uses my favourite Pokemon (and in my favourite pokemon I mean Mega Gardevoir). And also not because she uses her. Its sad that Nintendo don't show her personality. Sorry for grammar.
Diantha being perceived as easy probably stems from a variety of factors regarding the game itself, namely in that X and Y are extremely generous in allowing the player to blatantly overpower the game in all the possible ways. Everyone has talked about the EXP share and we all know about how it drives people over the level curve, but the distribution of Pokemon in X and Y is also extremely nice compared to previous games and even SM/USM. You have a lot, A LOT of available Pokemon in the game, and often the strongest of the lot are given to you as literal gifts. You are handed blatantly powerful Megas like Charizard and Lucario, and whatnot, and stuff like Aegislash which is an exceptional Pokemon are also about and available amongst many other highly powerful Pokemon are given to you relatively easily. Not to mention Pokemon Amie which gives a lot of battle bonuses, O-Powers, mandatory Xerneas/Yveltal and whatnot, and you have a game that's literally feeding you all the ways to make yourself powerful in-game and overpower the entire game. If the game wasn't so generous and didn't hand over such blatantly powerful mons Diantha would be a good deal harder (I tried limiting myself in terms of no EXP share *and* only using middle-power mons for my team in a runthrough, and Diantha proved to be satisfyingly difficult: she's no Cynthia but the battle was a lot more fun and fulfilling). As for Diantha's team, it's not that bad and has some decent concepts behind it but it could use some slight reworking and better execution. Hawlucha, Goodra, and Gardevoir are fine and can stay though Hawlucha could probably use Acrobatics over X-Scissor for strong STAB that just hits hard. Gourgeist might be okay but it would be better if she used the super sized one, and with a more annoyer-esque set with Confuse Ray, Wisp, Leech Seed, and whatnot to make more of a nuisance. One of the fossil Pokemon could probably afford to be replaced, Aurorus has a bit of a clear purpose but Tyrantrum seems out of place. Perhaps replacing the fossils with stuff like Escavalier or something would help, Esca would cover Fairy and Ice *extremely* well and I think it fits her to an extent, while functioning as something of a hard hitter. Perhaps keep Aurorus and make it the lead to set up Screens early on in the match, which would definitely add some challenge faster. I don't know what else could take over some of the fossil's slots though.
I REMEMBER THIS! This was the 3rd Pokemon game I had played before, and my friend helped me a LOT. He gave me a gible which I made a garchomp, and I can mega evolve it. I remember this battle, the theme, the first time I fought Diantha, it was kinda easy. Xerneas almost died from hawlucha somehow. (I thought it would be a breeze) and then it was fine for the rest of the battle, but her MEGA gardevoir destroyed my xerneas, golem, and almost my lv. 72 garchomp. I was pretty happy when I beat the game, but when zapdos was running away and stuff, IT MADE ME SO MAD.
Pokemon X was an emotional rollercoaster. I would recommend Pokemon X/Y or Sword/Shield. They are great games. If you're looking to play a pokemon game, you could start with White, Black, soulsilver, or HeartGold to learn the basics, and then try out X/Y to learn about mega evolving, and newer pokemon. Then you could play Sword/Shield to learn about Dynamaxing and Gigantamax. I played all those games. Great games btw.
I bought pokemon x and y when they were released in my Country the very first day. Looking some months later in the anime, i was impressed from the battles, the story, new legenderies and the movies and of course Ash Greninja battle bond. The mix between these made a historical change in pokemon series, that i thought why they were not patient to make this game. In my opinion i have the idea that pokemon x and y are one of the best (maybe the best video game pokemon and with one of the best anime) game who deserves an applause from everyone, either from those who have watched all pokemon anime and played the games like me and either from the new fans. Lastly, it is a great memory that should be kept in everyone mind
Holy shit. I know there's obviously a lot of older and younger people playing the games, but it makes me feel terribly old seeing people saying that they started with gen 6. Time flies.
XY: Worst Champion, worst E4, worst team, worst music. Easily the worst Pokemon games. Plus, no post-game content at all that can keep you playing for hundreds of hours like gen 4 and 5 did. I have no idea why so many people seem to like XY.
I swear they should have really made a sequel to this game like it should have had the xyz story and your rivals should be Alain and Sawyer Ps: I believe Alain would beat diantha
@@shadowdragon8597 yup. Most of her Pokémon can be taken down with no effort, like 4 out of 6 can be taken out by a Steel Type "Tyrantrum,Aurorus,Gardevoir,Gorgeist if you use Aegislash
@@pablodelgado7919 i used Aegislash on my team and absolutely BODIED her with no effort. I even replayed this game multiple times w/o exp share and still too easy.
@@rakaikt Same, i only used Venusaur and Aegislash "Mostly Aegislash" and took her down with little to no effort whatsoever and most of my team was barely touching Lv:60
@Brian M I don't like going over trained to the league, since it kills the feeling of a challenge. Most of my pokemon at the time were around 54-59, by the time i took on her my strongest was at least 62 or so. Honestly i found Sheibold's Gyarados more of a menace than Diantha's entire team
It bothers me how people bash on Diantha (and X and Y in general) for being easy. Can they not hear this champion theme? It's amazing! If they want a challenge, they can always turn off the exp share and problem solved. Also I think she looks cute 7:46 wait I don't remember him speaking?!
I don't like her music, either. Every song post gen 5 is forgettable. I have a lot of difficulty remembering any song from the new games. I don't know what it is, but since gens 4 and 5 (the peak of Pokemon IMO) the music quality has SERIOUSLY dropped.
@@apollojustice5338Gen 7 was okay. X and Y were game changers being the first games designed in 3D and introduced the best gimmick of all time, Mega Evolution. Gen 7 you had Giant Pokémon and Z moves. Not really all that crazy.
I don't think it's underatted. It is the best selling 3DS game & it sells more than Gen. 7 did. That may not mean much, but it has been selling alot more than the other 3DS games. It's still a pretty good game. But I don't think it's underatted. In fact, I think it's overrated compared to Diamond, Pearl & Platinum. Though I rather play X & Y over Diamond, Pearl & Platinum anyday.
Gen. 4 being overrated also? Yes. Not exactly Gen. 5. In fact, Gen. 5 is actually underrated in my opinion. It sells less than Diamond, Pearl & Platinum, X & Y or any Pokemon game of the main series and almost everyone seems to never try it out. It's weird because back than when people either played or never played Gen. 5, alot of people hated it for no reason that it wasn't like the previous Generation of Pokemon or they either didn't either play it or they did & since times past, most people love it now. To me, Black and White & Black 2 and White 2 did so many things right in terms of it's gameplay wise, the difficulty, the story, the characters, the soundtracks, most Pokemon design & an how really balance game it is & it became one of my favorite Pokemongames of all time; along with Heartgold and Soulsilver, Firered and Leafgreen, Sun and Moon & Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon & even Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. So before 3DS games coming for it's 3D handheld shipment, we knew Pokemon would come to 3D with X & Y. We watch it on E3 just to get ready & hopefully be great like most of the rest & than it was a little bit of a letdown. Not like dropping down to a big pit hole like Diamond, Pearl & Platinum was, but it wasn't as great as I remember it to be & we still haven't had a expansion version for X & Y because of the Gen. 3 remake & than Gen. 7 was coming. Now there are some people that likes the game, but than there are many others that don't like the game. I like it just fine. It's a decent game, but it's not the best in my opinion.
Yeah Pokemon Z could've been the best if it fixed the flaws of XY.. Actually Gen 5 is pretty loved right now and that hate wave is now on Gen 6 and the amount of hate and bashing XY are getting is totally unfair.
By the way, when I say Gen. 4 is overrated, I meant Diamond, Pearl & Platinum, not the remake of Gen. 2; Heartgold and Soulsilver. And when I say Gen. 6, I meant X & Y, not the remake of Gen. 3; Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire.
My first Pokemon game that I played was Moon. But... it wasnt really exciting it was boring so I just thought I'd just stick to watching Pokemon origins (The first Pokemon show that I've watch) But then I watched Pokemon XY and XYZ Anime. It was a great show. Then my brother got Pokemon Y. I got Sooooo excited to play it. When I did I was disappointed that Greninja couldn't change into Ash-Greninja But I Loved that I got to have a team with Charizard and Greninja but the battle with champion was disappointing but the ending was Beautiful I cried at the end. It was sooo happy.
The anime came AFTER the game so you can't play as ash greninja anyway and pokemon sun and moon are pretty good! Ultra sun and ultra moon you should get
Wasn’t hard for me because: Some random guy gave me a TON of legendaries plus I had Snorlax and Dragonite and his LV. 100 Serperior So yeah I spammed Uber’s throughout the whole game. Which consisted of: Lugia Zygarde Latias Latios Mewtwo Yvetal Hoopa Keldeo Meloetta I forgot his name but I know he was Fire/Water type Celebi Mew Ho-oh Moltres (I picked the fire starter so I should’ve had Zapdos) So uh yeah, I was basically set while I’m seeing everyone else play the game how you should XD
I forgot about Diantha, it's been long time since I played X and Y games. Yet, I didn't forget about Cynthia, who's my favorite Champion in all time. Hope to see Cynthia's new design when the Sinnoh remakes comes out for the Switch.
Diantha really deserves better... love her design and everything. I'd rather she show up in other games, not Cynthia. I'm so tired of them always bringing back Cynthia - they should use that opportunity instead for other Champions. Give them tweaks to their teams, give them items to hold and be at Level 80+. Maybe then fans will grow to respect those Champions more and potentially learn to not simp for Cynthia all the time.
She is easy even without Exp Share. And honestly, only Gardenvoir and Hawlucha were a really threat. Her Pokémon are not that interesting, not like other Champions.
Princess Diantha? More like... ...Princess Diantha getting blown to pieces. (Too soon?) Edit: this is a tasteless Princess Diana joke for those who dont know. She died from an explosion. I wasnt trying to disrespect her, but I find it posthumourously(?) funny that Pokemon would allow such inspiration from Princess Diana.
squadalaguydc But... Diantha is apparently based on Audrey Hepburn. The actress. Diantha as a name comes from the Dianthus Genus - a type of plant. I’m fun at parties.
Funnily enough, i actually had less trouble beating oras steven than i did diantha. Diantha is incredibly easy but she wasn’t horrible. Plus, i actually loved x and y. *braces for dislikes*
Diantha was much too weak for me. Lapras almost swept her whole team (I switched to Charizard and crit-hit KOed Mega Gardevoir with Shadow Claw, that's all, battle over!! 😊😊) Wait a minute...first try Sheer Cold and jackpot!! 😂😂😂😂 Oh, how many Pokémon would be screwed if it had 100 accuracy...
Story Time: first time playing through Y. im up to her Gardevoir and she annihilates my team, but.........my lord and savior, Bower the Chesnaught.......took a Moonblast.........then came the Wood Hammer........and that kids, is how Chesnaught became my favorite Pokemon
i feel like her team was easy because she was meant as a pre-sequel and the seconds version of xy "pokemon z which was later scrapped" was supposed to be a much harder game with much more variety. this game was easy because it was just an intro.
Literally the weakest champ I've ever fought, not because she's got a bad team, but because her Pokémon were horribly underleveled. I mean my tyrantrum was level 86 by the time I got to her just by beating pretty much every trainer on the way.
Well.. Back to Pokémon moves Now.
List of Diantha & AZ Battle :
- Champion : 00:00
- AZ : 07:17
Thanks !
why didnt u use your Chesnaught?
AZ Battle Theme is badass as fuck, too bad he's such a pushover, same with Diantha :D
7 minutes for a champion, I'm laughing this one down.
Did you use Pokemon Generations to get the AZ voice?
I will say, even though X and Y are arguably the weakest main games in a series, the architecture in both games are some of the best in the series. The Pokemon League building in Kalos is gorgeous.

I wasn't expecting voice actors from the final cutscenes, you actually had a great idea

Tyrantrum> Royalty
Goodra> Pseudo, prob the most cutesy dragon anyway

Just full of horrible Fighting weaknesses and slow Mon.

Well, eventually we'll see a Gen 6 remake which might solve the problems of the originals.
One simply doesn’t hit sheer cold on their first try
Champion Link so true...
I was hoping someone else caught that
Pretty sure sheer cold always hits if the opposing pokemon is under leveled.
Sheer Cold doesn't ALWAYS hit when you're higher level, the percentage of it hitting just goes up once every level. The only instance it can be 100 accuracy is when a level 100 Pokemon uses it on a level 30 one.

venusaur and sludge bomb

I love her character.
You’ve gotta be kidding me, Gardevoir is your favorite Pokémon. I think gardevoir is the most censored Pokémon ever
I know X and Y wasnt that tough, but it really felt nostalgic and it makes me wanna say quietly, "I'm Home."
Yes. It felt magical, unlike gen8 (Sw/h) that aside from the Wild Area trying, just felt awkward and horribly rushed.
I honestly think that Diantha's team fits her perfectly, if you put her team in the context of her role as a movie star:
Aurorus and Tyrantrum: Jurassic Park
Gourgeist: Horror Movies
Hawlucha: Boxing/Wrestling Movies
Goodra: Fantasy Movies
Gardevoir: Beautiful Actress
And hey, her team might be "easier" than most Champions, but her team's overall level is the highest (even higher than Leon's).
Yeah,it's better for her to have highest lvl possible cuz otherwise mega lucario prob just sweep her

Alder is a better character but yeah, his team sucks too. I found Blue and Steven to be the hardest Champions.

Gotta Give Diantha Props for representing pokemon from her home region front and center. And then her theme telling us Hoenn was coming.

My heart: *cuts into small small pieces and I cry like a desperate*

i feel like I was the only one who had trouble with Diantha.
*That Hawlucha...*
*That damn Hawlucha...*
It’s her stupid fucking Gardevoir for me
AKA the absolute worst E4 ever.
XY: Worst Champion, worst E4, worst team, worst music. Easily the worst Pokemon games. Plus, no post-game content at all that can keep you playing for hundreds of hours like gen 4 and 5 did. I have no idea why so many people seem to like XY.
@@halfmoon106 Worst music? Naw.
Actually the music is great.. It's just the 3ds's speaker
@@jjc4924 well in the manga XY has the best story i think
Count Dooku I disagree on ‘worst music’
I swear they should have really made a sequel to this game like it should have had the xyz story and your rivals should be Alain and Sawyer
Ps: I believe Alain would beat diantha
your videos are perfect
Ahh Diantha. Why are you so forgettable yet so disappointing as a Champion "even with the EXP.Share off"
Pablo Delgado Ikr?! Way too easy to be a champion
@@shadowdragon8597 yup. Most of her Pokémon can be taken down with no effort, like 4 out of 6 can be taken out by a Steel Type "Tyrantrum,Aurorus,Gardevoir,Gorgeist if you use Aegislash
@@pablodelgado7919 i used Aegislash on my team and absolutely BODIED her with no effort. I even replayed this game multiple times w/o exp share and still too easy.
@@rakaikt Same, i only used Venusaur and Aegislash "Mostly Aegislash" and took her down with little to no effort whatsoever and most of my team was barely touching Lv:60
@Brian M I don't like going over trained to the league, since it kills the feeling of a challenge. Most of my pokemon at the time were around 54-59, by the time i took on her my strongest was at least 62 or so. Honestly i found Sheibold's Gyarados more of a menace than Diantha's entire team
Great vid as always;)👌👌👌💙🐱🐱🐱
She's TOO. DAMN. EASY.
Honestly, she's a complete joke.
I love this champion fight
I swear to god seeing the ending, makes me want to cry, hearing the fletching cry literally made my heart hurt
JURASSIC PARK 2: De true battle! 2:58
I was listening to one of your themes when the notification came...
ok but AZ's reunion with Floette made me tear a little bit
Yes her team was weak and she was easy, BUT she still has one of the coolest designs and settings you battle in, and EASILY one of the best themes.
Diantha is amazing!!!
*PD:* what's the name of the font used in the video??
Nintendo rodin I think
It’s good to see a Pokémon battle where it at least appeared as if you weren’t holding back.
Her Pokemon League Battle may have been easy, but her Black Writ Battle Chateau Fight is a nightmare.
Don't make me hit you for reminding ,me
I actually didn't know that you could sit in the chair before the champion elevator before today. Thanks Mixeli!
It bothers me how people bash on Diantha (and X and Y in general) for being easy. Can they not hear this champion theme? It's amazing! If they want a challenge, they can always turn off the exp share and problem solved. Also I think she looks cute
7:46 wait I don't remember him speaking?!
She is always easy, even without the exp share.
I don't like her music, either. Every song post gen 5 is forgettable. I have a lot of difficulty remembering any song from the new games. I don't know what it is, but since gens 4 and 5 (the peak of Pokemon IMO) the music quality has SERIOUSLY dropped.
Well, at least you're not attacking me 😔
Even without the Exp. Share, she's still pathetically easy.
Agreed my friend. Let the naysayers keep their opinions to themselves
This game is underrated.
Yes
Not really. It's the best selling 3DS game & it's sells more than Gen. 7.
Which baffles me to this day as Gen 6 was awful and Gen 7 was really good.
@@apollojustice5338 probably cuz of the anime
@@apollojustice5338Gen 7 was okay. X and Y were game changers being the first games designed in 3D and introduced the best gimmick of all time, Mega Evolution.
Gen 7 you had Giant Pokémon and Z moves. Not really all that crazy.
I feel that pokemon x and y are very soothing
The kalos elite 4 should’ve had the respective mega evolutions they had in the anime
She will be incredibly good if Gamefreak makes some remakes of XY. Remember me.
I will. Looking forward to it. X was one of my most favourite games ever.
Here is the part where I make a totally original comment about diantha being easy and cynthia being hard
Never played XY, but the Pokemon league is so beautiful omfg
Underrated games in everyways possible.
Pokemon Z could've been the best game if it came out...
I don't think it's underatted. It is the best selling 3DS game & it sells more than Gen. 7 did. That may not mean much, but it has been selling alot more than the other 3DS games. It's still a pretty good game. But I don't think it's underatted. In fact, I think it's overrated compared to Diamond, Pearl & Platinum. Though I rather play X & Y over Diamond, Pearl & Platinum anyday.
It's the first time that someone told me this.
In fact beside Gen 1,
Gen 4 and mostly Gen 5 is overrated in my opinion.
Gen. 4 being overrated also? Yes. Not exactly Gen. 5. In fact, Gen. 5 is actually underrated in my opinion. It sells less than Diamond, Pearl & Platinum, X & Y or any Pokemon game of the main series and almost everyone seems to never try it out. It's weird because back than when people either played or never played Gen. 5, alot of people hated it for no reason that it wasn't like the previous Generation of Pokemon or they either didn't either play it or they did & since times past, most people love it now. To me, Black and White & Black 2 and White 2 did so many things right in terms of it's gameplay wise, the difficulty, the story, the characters, the soundtracks, most Pokemon design & an how really balance game it is & it became one of my favorite Pokemongames of all time; along with Heartgold and Soulsilver, Firered and Leafgreen, Sun and Moon & Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon & even Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. So before 3DS games coming for it's 3D handheld shipment, we knew Pokemon would come to 3D with X & Y. We watch it on E3 just to get ready & hopefully be great like most of the rest & than it was a little bit of a letdown. Not like dropping down to a big pit hole like Diamond, Pearl & Platinum was, but it wasn't as great as I remember it to be & we still haven't had a expansion version for X & Y because of the Gen. 3 remake & than Gen. 7 was coming. Now there are some people that likes the game, but than there are many others that don't like the game. I like it just fine. It's a decent game, but it's not the best in my opinion.
Yeah Pokemon Z could've been the best if it fixed the flaws of XY..
Actually Gen 5 is pretty loved right now and that hate wave is now on Gen 6 and the amount of hate and bashing XY are getting is totally unfair.
By the way, when I say Gen. 4 is overrated, I meant Diamond, Pearl & Platinum, not the remake of Gen. 2; Heartgold and Soulsilver. And when I say Gen. 6, I meant X & Y, not the remake of Gen. 3; Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire.
My first Pokemon game that I played was Moon. But... it wasnt really exciting it was boring so I just thought I'd just stick to watching Pokemon origins (The first Pokemon show that I've watch) But then I watched Pokemon XY and XYZ Anime. It was a great show. Then my brother got Pokemon Y. I got Sooooo excited to play it. When I did I was disappointed that Greninja couldn't change into Ash-Greninja But I Loved that I got to have a team with Charizard and Greninja but the battle with champion was disappointing but the ending was Beautiful I cried at the end. It was sooo happy.
The anime came AFTER the game so you can't play as ash greninja anyway and pokemon sun and moon are pretty good! Ultra sun and ultra moon you should get
Charizard Warrior you should play alpha sapphire or omega ruby
Sun and moon and ultra sun and moon are good and not boring. Whachu talkin' bout.
@@TheMegaultrachicken Its an opinion of his or hers
Ash ketchum the pokemon trainer I've played Ultra Sun it's better that sun and moon in my opinion
Wasn’t hard for me because:
Some random guy gave me a TON of legendaries plus I had Snorlax and Dragonite and his LV. 100 Serperior
So yeah I spammed Uber’s throughout the whole game.
Which consisted of:
Lugia
Zygarde
Latias
Latios
Mewtwo
Yvetal
Hoopa
Keldeo
Meloetta
I forgot his name but I know he was Fire/Water type
Celebi
Mew
Ho-oh
Moltres (I picked the fire starter so I should’ve had Zapdos)
So uh yeah, I was basically set while I’m seeing everyone else play the game how you should XD
The fire/water pokemon you mention is called Volcanion
Don’t worry, the game wasn’t very hard without legendaries either lol
AM I SEEING THINGS OR DID THIS DUDE LANDED SHEER COLD ON THE F I R S T HIT
I forgot about Diantha, it's been long time since I played X and Y games. Yet, I didn't forget about Cynthia, who's my favorite Champion in all time. Hope to see Cynthia's new design when the Sinnoh remakes comes out for the Switch.
Smol Cynthia... Cute!
Yeah, about that…
@TwilightChomperEnthusiast No need to tell me, I already know. Unfortunately, BDSP was too faithful to the original.
@@rodoshehossain7400 Not even. It had LESS content than the base games, which makes it really sad.
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast I almost forgot, lot of games coming out lately, it's hard to keep track...
This was acculy my first champion fight i had a hard time with it well to be fair this was my first pokemon game also 1 thing THE MUSIC IS GOD LIKE
Damn, my first game was Red over 20 years ago. I'm so old.
yeah im like 14 years old and i just got into pokemon in the gen 5 era becuse all i watched was the anime
Cool. I'm glad that Pokemon is actually still popular with younger generations.
such a good theme
Nice video
Nicely done.
she is honestly kinda awesome but yeah, GF shouldve done better and give her 3D models and make her stronger. her team is too easy 😅
Diantha really deserves better... love her design and everything. I'd rather she show up in other games, not Cynthia. I'm so tired of them always bringing back Cynthia - they should use that opportunity instead for other Champions. Give them tweaks to their teams, give them items to hold and be at Level 80+. Maybe then fans will grow to respect those Champions more and potentially learn to not simp for Cynthia all the time.
Thank you
A lot of people blame her how she was not a good champion it was not her fault it was the exp share but she is one of the best with a amazing team
She is easy even without Exp Share.
And honestly, only Gardenvoir and Hawlucha were a really threat. Her Pokémon are not that interesting, not like other Champions.
Still the easiest champion, and I didn’t use the exp. share during my play through of the game.
Still easy without the exp share though, just get a fairy type and you have half of her team beat.
Still easy even without the Exp. Share.
Look at Necrozma tho
Princess Diantha? More like...
...Princess Diantha getting blown to pieces.
(Too soon?)
Edit: this is a tasteless Princess Diana joke for those who dont know. She died from an explosion. I wasnt trying to disrespect her, but I find it posthumourously(?) funny that Pokemon would allow such inspiration from Princess Diana.
squadalaguydc But... Diantha is apparently based on Audrey Hepburn. The actress. Diantha as a name comes from the Dianthus Genus - a type of plant.
I’m fun at parties.
You can't deny that nice battle theme
This song is a full on blast of nostalgia
Diantha resembles movie star Audrey Hepburn. I think thats where they got their inspo from with the pixie cut. She was a fashion icon.
fun fact the design for diantha was based on Audrey Hepburn
Can we atleast appreciate the fact that she has higher level Pokémon than Pokémon let's go
I love the theme
I remembered i always owned Diantha's Mega Gardevoir easily with my Snorlax and his Heavy slam move.
Funnily enough, i actually had less trouble beating oras steven than i did diantha. Diantha is incredibly easy but she wasn’t horrible. Plus, i actually loved x and y. *braces for dislikes*
I would use Mega Lucario against Diantha’s Mega Gardevoir cuz I taught my Lucario Flash Cannon and Gardevoir is weak to Steel
How did you get flash cannon for lucario? I thought flash cannon is available in post game
Old memories coming back
Who did you get to voice AZ??
Very good theme :)
At least the music was strong even if her team wasn't
Diantha was much too weak for me. Lapras almost swept her whole team (I switched to Charizard and crit-hit KOed Mega Gardevoir with Shadow Claw, that's all, battle over!! 😊😊)
Wait a minute...first try Sheer Cold and jackpot!! 😂😂😂😂 Oh, how many Pokémon would be screwed if it had 100 accuracy...
Why the hell didn’t Diantha have a Florges?
Just imagine how badly Lance would destroy Diantha
Just imagine how *literally anyone* would destroy Diantha.
Lances team is fucking awful wdym?? Tyrantrum and aurorus destroy everything on his team besides Gyarados, and gardevoir has thunderbolt.
@@pef_v6107 simply untrue
This aged very poorly lol. Lance got his ass shoved deep into the ground.
@@Red-yy3gzDid we both see that epic fight and how Diantha won? Simply beautiful 💪🏻❤️
Story Time: first time playing through Y. im up to her Gardevoir and she annihilates my team, but.........my lord and savior, Bower the Chesnaught.......took a Moonblast.........then came the Wood Hammer........and that kids, is how Chesnaught became my favorite Pokemon
Who did the voices and why?
Good mixeli
Diantha is the easiest champion to beat with lol 😎
I really like the theme song here ❤️
This game is pure nostalgia
Fisherman Andrew with the six Magikarps was more of a challenge then Diantha.
Did you get Keith Silverstein to voice az?
I didn'r play X&Y, so I have a question. The AZ part was really dubbed??
The good old days... This game is what got me into Pokemon... Hopefully they remake this game on the switch!
Damn, my first games were ruby and sapphire. You just successfully made me feel old 😂
@@callmeniles6060 I said what got me into Pokemon not the first game I played lol
Ruby wasnt my first ever game either haha
We're talking about the same thing here 😂
@Ducktective Duck JR Older than 12 bud
@Ducktective
I really don't think that attitude is necessary.
i feel like her team was easy because she was meant as a pre-sequel and the seconds version of xy "pokemon z which was later scrapped" was supposed to be a much harder game with much more variety. this game was easy because it was just an intro.
The music's so fancy
I lost my first three battles to her... I was seven at the time ; - ;
You must have been bad then!
Literally the weakest champ I've ever fought, not because she's got a bad team, but because her Pokémon were horribly underleveled. I mean my tyrantrum was level 86 by the time I got to her just by beating pretty much every trainer on the way.
2:40 Well we know what Dino won
