Froiky Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Here's the scenario. You are the champion. You've beaten each region's league and are now a pokemon master. You are the strongest trainer in the world. Thus, when an unforseen crisis threatens the world you are the one chosen to deal with it. As champion, though, you need an elite four of your own. This is the question. Who is in your elite four? Are they gym leaders? Are they unique trainers encountered in the games? Who are they and why did you choose them? Have fun with this.

Darvan Korematsu Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hm. If I were to make my own Elite Four, they would consist not as masters of the elements, but battle styles instead. They are unique in the case that they are masters of their own discipline and stick to that one strategy. They are not Gym Leaders, but merely powerful trainers who use their teams to the fullest with a unique style. Brief synopsis of my Elite Four: Darvan - Champion and Master of Balance. Obviously the Champion would be an entire mix of strategy as a safety net and catch-all against just about anything that can be thrown at a team, and like most Pokemom teams, the strength of this team is there's no glaring weakness,although in a dual reapect, there is no glaring strength. Barrett - Master of the Elements (Weather) This would be your first guy to face, and he would use a variety of weather teams, most likely Rain or Sun, since those two are the most used and equally useful weathers. His Pokemon would really benefit from the weather in one way or another, ranging from abilities that benefit from weather or moves (like Thunder with 100 accuracy in rain) This guy would have an auto-setter for weather but his biggest weakness would be overreliance on weather. Sylvia - Master of the Patience (Stall) This girl would come second in line. Where the other guy relied on weather, this girl relies on stall tactics, recovery, and moves to slowly wear you down, as slow and steady also wins the race, and rushing through to defeat this Elite Four member would prove an untimely premature defeat for most challengers. The downside to this girl is the overreliance on status moves, which Taunt and specific Pokemon or other moves could easily counter Tori - Master of Brutality (Hyper Offense) This girl would come third, and serves as a complete opposite to the last Elite Four member where instead of playing the waiting game, this member serves as a mirror to beat the shit out of you and get it over with quickly. Using as many disrupting tactics, attack boosting, and moves with raw power, your team would be cut down real quickly if unprepared. The weakness here is most sweeper Pokemon are frail. Either you'd outspeed or wall out this member. Joker - Master of Trickery (Trick Room) Even though this guy would be last in the Elite Four, he'd show you that no single strategy is too farfetched or outlandish. His Pokemon would benefit largely off a Trick Room or have moves and abilities that screw the normality of Trick Room, with stuff like Prankster. This guy's overreliance on Trick Room would be his biggest weakness, especially against Taunt or "outspeed" him with slower Pokemon. I chose them because no strategy is too bad, and even the weird can overcome and puzzle the opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to actually choose but I did ponder this question a few times. 1st Trainer would most likely be Drayden because he is the wise and ever helpful man in Gen 5. 2nd would be Cynthia, to this day I think GF put the most work into her ai interactions and how tough she was to beat. 3rd would have to be Brendan/May a helpful and compassionate friend throught gen 3. And finally I would have Harmonia (N) the one who told us that our pokemon have feelings about us as well and that we should always cherish the relationship that we create Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobliterator Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Elite Four Isaac- Redheaded Pyromaniac. Uses Fire types Strawberry-Chilled out hippie girl. Uses Grass types. Houdanny-Skilled magician and mind reader. Uses Psychic types Fraiser-Master Boxer. Uses Fighting types. Champions- Axxel and Zephor- Axxel is impatient, super offensive and uses Dark types. Zephor is calm, super defensive and uses Steel types. They combine offense and defense to make an unstoppable team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peepeepoopoo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) I honestly think Cynthia is the best champion but... Member #1; May Team; Balanced Mono Normal Ace; Mega Lopunny May will start off this Elite 4. the E4? Ok not the best explanation but whatever. The first E4 member is never important anyway :^) Like her father, May specializes in Normal type Pokemon. Member #2; Volkner Team; Offensive Mono Electric Ace; Mega Ampharos I was really tempted to shove Dawn in here just because. However, I'm not that lazy. Volkner's attitude and look is what made him one of my favourite gym leaders. The fact that your battle with him also impacts him and changes him significantly is also why I like him so much. Sure you battle lots of gym leaders and some of them are inspired by your ability to use type advantages effectively, but personally I feel like Volkner has the best interaction with the player in this regard out of all the gym leaders. Volkner is now enthusiastic about Pokemon battling, perhaps the most passionate one on the E4. Member #3; Wally Team; Balanced Mono Fairy Ace; Mega Gardevoir Wally, the second strongest member of my elite four. I've always been jealous of Wally for being able to run into a Ralts on his first try with a Zigzagoon he just met. The injustice. However, I've always liked him because of his backstory and character development. It's not the best but I find that it's touching. In my Elite 4 Wally is more confident in his ability as a person and as a trainer. Member #4; Cynthia Team; Hyper Offensive Mono Dragon Ace; Mega Garchomp I'll give you +1 rep if you guessed this would be Cynthia. Yes, I really admire Cynthia. I feel like she's one of the most fleshed out champions not to mention she's fucking gorgeous. Cynthia doesn't really need much character development from her time in DPPt.

TRHStatement Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Well.... Let's see I'll need trainers who have all kinds of type coverage so... 1.) Alder. Old buddy came out of retirement to protect the future which he truly cares about 2.) Cynthia. She has type coverage down to the T, and the Mega-Garchomp at that 3.) Reformed Lin. (But how can you put Lin? We don't know anything about / what happens to her?) Unless I find out she dies, I'm going to say she found a new found purpose to protecting the world. Due to that Hydreigon f*cking up the overgrown OVERGROWN Steelix, I assume her team is hyper-offensive 4.) Red. Most powerful trainer in Kanto, well deserved spot on the International Elite 4. Has the option to Mega-Evolve whoever he sees fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy's overreliance on Trick Room would be his biggest weakness, especially against Taunt or "outspeed" him with slower Pokemon. This for #1, except in a Chess Room. #2: Terrain Master (Field Effect expert with a few pokemon that can use any terrain) #3: Mega Master (uses various all-powerful megas; weak to pokemon that cause powerhousing to backfire) #4: Wild Card (uses abilities that can alter the battle in crazy ways) All of these would have advanced AIs, meaning that their pokemon will actually react and strategize based on my actions.

Chase Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Karen (Former Johto Elite-4 Member - Dark) The lead-off of my Elite Four is the epitome of how Pokémon -should- be played. Competitive included. Colress (Black/White 2 Antagonist - Steel/Electric) Colress is a guy who is neither good nor bad in intent - just was formerly with the wrong crowd in order to further his research. Cool character. Valerie (Former Kalos Gym Leader - Fairy) Abraham Lincoln's presidential cabinet had a pretty unique pattern. President Lincoln appointed several -opposing- politicians to his cabinet positions. I -hate- Fairy types, so a good Elite Four in my charge would need a figure to represent them. Blue (Former Kanto Champion - Mixed) Blue's stop on my panel is sort of a continued retribution from his fall from his own perch. Also, I'm not -always- a savage, so I need Blue's temperament around.

Lord Chespin Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Well, I guess my Elite Four would go something like this... 1) Azazel - Dark-type user Team: Mandibuzz, Sableye, Bisharp, Krookodile, Hydreigon, Mega Absol This guy's based on Azazel from The Binding of Issac, and his team is a reference to all the possible final bosses from said game (Madibuzz is Issac's mom, Sableye is It Lives, Bisharp is The Lamb, Krookodile is Issac, Hydreigon is ???, and Mega Absol is Satan/Mega Satan see what I did there) 2) Arin - Bug-type user Team: Galvantula, Shuckle, Volcorona, Vivillion, Venomoth, Mega Beedrill This guy is based on the legendary Arin "Egoraptor" Hansen of Game Grumps fame. His ace, Mega Beedrill, is based on his use of a Beedrill for the entire frickin' game during the Game Grumps playthrough of Pokémon Firered. 3) Marie - Ghost-Type user Team: Shedinja, Aegislash, Chandelure, Trevenant, Chandelure, Mega Gengar This lady is based off of Marie from Skullgirls. ...I really like Skullgirls, okay?! 4) Sir Prize - Steel-type user Team: Excadrill, Skarmory, Lucario, Ferrothorn, Magnezone, Mega Aggron This guy (well, technically, robot) is based off of the puppet from Five Nights at Freddy's, another game I like. ...You can sense a trend here, can't you? Champion- Drakonia (User of varied types) Team: Lapras, Torterra, Charizard, Hydreigon, Exploud, Mega Medicham This lady's based off of a good real-life friend of mine, and her team's more or less ripped straight from her Online Competitive Team.

Froiky Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 When I first asked this question I was thinking mostly of gym leaders, but I'm so glad to see the creative ways that this experiment has gone. Now then, as with all good questions, it would be unfair for the asker not to answer their own question. Thus, with the way things have gone, I'll answer with both my original answer and my new thoughts taking into account all possibilities. Original: ·Winona- a young prodigy with her eye on the ball. Winona's a bit serious for her age and shows little mercy. She would provide quick decisive attacks with a variety of high flyers. She's the first only relative to the others. ·Morty- a patient man that knows how make the most of what he has. Kind to anyone he meets, Morty is the voice of conscience of the group willing to take hits for others. He would be strong with afflicting conditions and immobilizing enemies while being elusive. Maybe he's the second in line but he's tricky. ·Blaine- a wizened man able to find a way to cheer the most depressed of people. Lighthearted and energetic, Blaine is a morale booster. In battle however he is a clever old man. He knows battles like the back of his hand and has had time to perfect his strategies. He won't be easy. ·Volkner- as serious as they come he won't stop until the job's done. While he doesn't seem it, Volkner is passionate about Poke'mon and is determined to solve the crisis at hand. As a battler he is a genius. Where Blaine has wisdom stored up Volkner naturally understands battle and his high energy hidden beneath a lax demeanor makes him dangerous as an opponent. New team in another post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Obviously my Elite Four would be: Bianca, Elesa, Professor Juniper, and Skyla... if you know what I mean. No but for real this time: Pryce - I hope I look this badass when I'm old. Aurorus, Avalugg, Lapras, Froslass, Mamoswine, and Mega Abomasnow. Cheren - Young, full of potential and skill, and using a highly underrated but very strong type. Stoutland, Cinccino, Staraptor, Porygon-Z, Heliolisk, and Mega Lopunny. Karen - I can't agree more with the message she sends you, even if the team full of power I've given her doesn't. Hydreigon, Weavile, Sableye, Houndoom, Honchkrow, and Mega Absol. Steven - Cool design, cool personality, strong type, generally good pick. Aggron, Aegislash, Lucario, Excadrill, Escavalier, and Mega Metagross.

Ojama Yellow Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Let's. Do. This. Flint - Best Elite Four member ever. I mean, this guy is the only Elite Four member that actually got some character development and backstory, maybe aside from Marshall, Caitlin, Malva, Lance, Koga and Lorelei. Then again, Flint is best. Infernape, Magmortar, Chandelure, Darmanitan, Volcarona, Mega Charizard Y. Cress - Ok, he was the show-off of the three brothers. But also the best and coolest. Slowbro, Milotic, Crawdaunt, Swampert, Gyarados, Mega Blastoise. Fern - I can't see your faces from where I'm sitting, but I'm already choking typing this, just imagining the faces of you guys. Yes, Fern. Why? Because no one would ever bother challenging the league anymore. Ferrothorn, Trevenant, Serperior, Amoonguss, Whimsicott, Mega Venusaur. Brock - He's going to get rock-hard. No, but seriously, even if it was just for his quotes, Brock is in. Golem, Rhyperior, Lunatune, Kabutops, Tyrantrum, Mega Tyranitar. And for the last...the best... Pineapple - The great overlord of Normal types and champion. Pineapple will destroy your soul. Also, his team is verily interesting. oh hey he has the same name as me what a coincidence Raticate, Linoone, Bibarel, Stoutland, Diggersby, Mega Lopunny. Don't hate.
