They're honestly better than Gen 2's, 5's, or 6's.

2 is only memorable for Karenfaggotry, 6 is only memorable for being wasted potential, and 5 is flat-out not memorable period.

4 is at least memorable on the basis of putting up a genuine fight, Flint having a hilarious team in DP, and Lucian being a femboy.

All Pokemon characters are boring and one-dimensional so best champion comes down to best team (and Cynthia's perfect IVs + type balance makes hers objectively the best, although I do prefer Steven's for sticking to a theme without being completely monotype) and fappability.

Gen 4 has the worst E4 if you disqualify gen 6 from the running on account of sheer awfulness.
Gen 1 were the original badasses. Like most things gen 1 though, this awesomeness disperses if you look closely at it. Bruno was worthless, Agatha had already gone senile by the time you got there, and Lance was as much of an asshole as ever. So... Lorelei?
Gen 2: Lance got promoted, Agatha died of old age, Bruno spaced out for 3 years, and Lorelei had the operation. Koga and Keren, the new blood, were... eh?
Gen 3 had a very memorable, and largely useless E4. Sydney, Glacia, and Drake all had awesome designs, but shit battle talent. I think there was another member, but I can't remember them.
Gen 4's Bertha and Flint weren't bad, and Aaron had a pretty cool team.
Gen 5 gets chops for being the toughest E4. It looses chops because I couldn't tell you one of their names.
Gen 6's Wikstrom (Probably butchered that name) was a knight. Which was about it, honestly.
Gen 3=5>1=2>4>>>>6


In terms of champions, while Blue didn't wear the title quite as well the fact that he meant something is a feat none of the others have ever really matched.
Wallace was an embarrassment. Stick to the gym.
Alder (if you can even call him the champ) made me smile when I fought him. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
Lance, THE DRAGON MASTAHR, was bad. At least he wasn't the ultimate challenge. Is amazing in Pokemon Golder, though.
Iris was pretty much Loli Lance. The adorable sprite and actual dragon themed team made it better.
Steven was a man made by his theme. I don't recall being wowed by him much the first time I fought him.
Diantha was the shitty end to the shit twinkie that was gen 6. Well, she would be if Nintendo didn't realize they totally forgot to resolve AZ's story with about a week before release and squeezed that in.
Cynthia is a bit overhyped, but I feel that she has earned that right.
My Ranking: Cynthia>Blue>>Alder>Iris>Steven>>Wallace>Lance>Diantha.

Aaron is probably one of the most memorable E4 members though
I mean he's probably the single best bug type trainer in the entire pokemon world when you think about
also Flint is alright because he's the first and still only fire type E4 member
people complain because not all of his pokemon are fire type but they all know fire type moves and not being monotype just makes him more difficult so I don't see what the problem is

other than that though Lucian is kinda just a shittier version of Will and Bertha is kinda just a shittier version of Agatha but she uses ground type for some reason that probably doesn't make sense to anyone but GF
so its half and half

Kalos is easily the worst E4 though because LOL4POKEMON what were they thinking

You can call the Gen 6 Elite 4 bad, but you'll never take away my Drasna.
>>
>>26094170
Do you ever get tired of trying to guess blindly at everything in your life? You'd think being wrong would get old. They were just a terrible elite 4. Wikstrom and Drasna are both halfbaked characters that only manage 1 composite mark in their favor. Siebold and Malva were entirely unmemorable and featureless. 1/4 is by no means praiseworthy. For better or worse, Flint is notorious, Bertha had ties to Agatha, and Aaron was notable for his Drapion and being the only bug elite. Lucian was forgettable. 3/4 isn't bad; not perfect either, but then no one said it was.

Gen 6 may have sucked by and large, but it had a few good points. Several of the new pokemon were well-designed, Fairy was a breath of fresh air (even if they are OP little shits right now), and playing dress-up was rather enjoyable. Pokemon Amie is also much more entertaining than it should be.
Most of gen 6 being bad, I can agree with. But not all.

>>26094201
Wikstrom in particular was not half bad. I can say "That knight guy" and you will instantly know who I'm talking about. He isn't forgettable like Malva, or insufferable like Siegbold. He's actually kinda cool.

Y'know, going over the E4 so much, there are an awful lot of Psychic, Dark, and Ghost members. I wonder why?

Drasna was nice though, she wasn't passive-aggressive or hostile like 90% of Elite 4 members, especially since most of the elder Elites are very imposing, and you learn about her being an ambassador for Sinnoh's dragon mythology when you rematch her which was kinda cool.

It gave her at least a little background to her team composition, where as most Elite 4 just say they use X type and like it.

Gen 6's E4 was the most I've enjoyed since the first two Gens.

Wikstrom was hilarious, Drasna is adorable, and I believe Malva is the first villainous Elite member? At least I'll always remember her by that and how I couldn't tell if she was wearing see-through jeans or not.

I understand it was probably the easiest E4 on your first playthrough, but I don't get the hate-boner for them.
>>
>>26096546
It is by all means an insect, and Skourpi was Poison/Bug prior, so it does belong with Bug. However, since Game Freak at that time were too drunk on saki they erroneously gave it Poison/Dark even though Skuntank already had that covered. Really should have been a Dark/Bug instead.
>>
>>26089714
A lot of little gay boys on here like Aaron a lot, so there's that.
>>
I'm going to have to say that I disagree and actually enjoy this elite 4. At least if you're playing Platinum (Which you should be doing anyways) The elite 4 in Platinum is by far one of the most difficult challenges I've ever faced especially Lucian because his psychic types weren't your run of the mill psychic types. They had bulk and power to them and many of the Pokemon in Platinum that you can catch that are dark types often aren't strong enough or are too frail to actually survive. On another note Flint also in Platinum is amazing and he actually shows you some hot moves lol. The first two are easy however, but I didn't find them boring at all they had varied teams that worked well together not like the Johto or Kanto elite 4 where they use 3 of the same species of Pokemon.
>>
>>26098348
I 100% agree with you. I felt kinda scared to post my opinion but I've been playing through all the games from Gen I on and Gen IV is the most challenging and most exciting Elite 4 I've faced by far.

I hate Hoenn, Unova and Kolas' elite 4 for bringing no new typings to it. Sun and Moon better not have an ice, ghost, fire, dragon, water, fighting, dark(Weird how it has yet to be a gym type and yet has been in the elite 4 three times), steel and psychic type elite leader

Gen 5 is the only E4 I can't remember, it's probably cause they all looked retarded and I was trying to block it out of memory.
>>
Once again, /vp/'s irrational dislike for Gen 4 emerges.

Gen 4's elite Four, especially if you look at Platinum's is arguably the best.

Good sets of Pokemon on each member, with challenging move sets.

Unova's and Kalos' were worse for having just 4 mons each, and Kanto's and Johto's were worse for being piss-easy.

I'd say it was better than Hoenn's as well, since Hoenn E4 had members with repeat mons (two Dusclops, two Banettes, two Glailies).

Barefoot Taylor Swift knockoff whose room looks like a recording studio. Uses sound-based normies like Wigglytuff, Exploud, Chatot, Audino, and Pyroar. Ace is a new Pokemon with Swift.
>Flying
Room is a small arena surrounded by a pit. Maybe uses the more atypical Flying types like Gyarados, Gliscor, and Drifblim just to spice things up. Hoping for a pure Flying cloud Pokemon.
>Electric
Some dude in a VR helmet whose room looks all Tron-esque and is implied to never go outside. Uses a Magnezone and maybe Electrode among other stuff.

Big guy who acts creepy and flamboyant. Uses Granbull, Mr. Mime, and 3 new fairies.

Oh and my idea for a Grass E4 room would be like a greenhouse/garden and he or she just talks about not stepping on their plants and doesn't care much about battling (the implication being that they're so good at it).
>>
>>26099038
>Room is a small arena surrounded by a pit. Maybe uses the more atypical Flying types like Gyarados, Gliscor, and Drifblim just to spice things up. Hoping for a pure Flying cloud Pokemon.
Damn, I'd that idea for a hack for ages
>>
>>26098952
maybe the issue is that first 256 games have

> 39 pure normal types
> 49 Water types
> 22 Grass types
> 40 flying type Pokemons

> 4 Ghost
> 6 Steel
> 5 Dark
> 4 Dragon

I dunno. I don't even remember the name of every Gen 3 E4 member half the time. Strong contender.

I don't see it as a problem, considering at the time of gsc they didn't know the project would continue onward, they made the amount of Pokemon they felt like

They concentrated on more thematics in the early games, whether that's good or bad, they made Lance a dragon trainer in theme using what they had plus things that were like dragons. IMO he came out good for the limited selection.
>>
>>26099291
First game has a pretty decent type selection of Pokemons. Its Gen 2 that shits the bed by adding more of the common types and barely adding any rare ones (1 new dragon, 1 ghost, 1 Rock)

no offense but sinnoh's elite 4 would be nothing without its bug prince

>>26099038
>Rock isn't E4 material until Gamefreak finally buffs it.
Tyranitar for 24/7 sand and being overall fantastic
Aerodactyl for speed
Mega Aggron as the token mega because I can't use diancie
Cradily for water
Shuckle to shit out rocks, web, and die
Tyrantrum because I can't have Terrakion

Is it good enough for pvp? Nah. Is it good enough to curbstomp kids just playing through the game? I think so.

i would personally like to thank GF for acknowledging the fact that 2007 me needed a cute, juvenile femboy trainer to identify with, and for this reason, gen 4 elite 4 isn't forgettable
>>
I think 3 was most forgettable, people only know them now because ORAS was so recent, but even then I can't really say I know them the most

Really wish a game gave development to the E4 like they do to Champions and some Leaders. It's so hard to really remember someone when they only have two lines of dialogue.

Hoenn and Unova, sure, but Kalos? We've never had a Water elite before then, nor Steel. Unless you count Wallace and Steven as champs being part of the Elite 4.
>>
Here's my opinion:

E4 from best to worst:

5 > 1 > 4 > 6 = 3 > 2

Honestly Gen 2 or 3 Elites would have to be worst for me.

Those Elite Fours are not fleshed out at all. We know pretty much nothing about Will or Karen. Hoenn Elite 4 is not much better. As somebody who watches the anime, the Sinnoh Elite 4 ranks higher because all members appeared in the anime and got appearances that fleshed them out (especially Flint, who appeared multiple times). Will, Karen and none of the Hoenn Elite 4 have appeared in the anime, except Drake. Honestly wish they would have so we could see them fleshed out more. Unova Elite 4 didn't appear in the anime either (except for Caitlin briefly) but that's fine since the games themselves did a good job fleshing them out IMO. Kalos Elite Four really needs more fleshing out too. Honestly blows my mind that it took until Sinnoh for all of the Elite Four to appear during that region. But then again, that's just one reason why the Diamond/Pearl series of the anime was the best.

what gen is this? I only played I, II and am halfway through VI

>they have so little type variation

Ice x2
Fighting x3
Ghost x3
Dragon x3
Psychic x3
Poison
Dark x3
Bug
Ground
Fire x2
Water
Steel

12 out of 18 types, I'd say that's fairly good variety.
>>
>>26103598
Gen4, look up Flint's team. He is supposedly a Fire elite, but only 2 of his 5 pokemons are fire.
>>
>>26103814
All of his Pokemon know Fire moves though.
>>
>>26089714

I recently finished Platinum and I was surprised by how tough they were. My team was lvl 51 throughout and, while I expected Cynthia to be kinda annoying, the ones before put up a scary fight.

Lucian had KO'd 5/6 of my Pokémon, leaving only my Garchomp. Brutal.
>>
>>26103929
Platinum's E3 is scary. They all got a fairly significant buff from Diamond/Pearl.
>>
>>26103962
Is Platinum the hardest game in the series?

It seems with HGSS and Gen V the games had gotten progressively easier and more streamlined
>>
>>26103962

Maybe I was just too fixated on Cynthia's Garchomp that I underestimated the E4, but Platinum is far and away the toughest E4 I faced.
I replayed literally all generations the past half year. Red in October, Gold in December, Y in January, Emerald and White on February, OR in March and Platinum this April, so it's definitely not just remembering shit wrong.

I was even using flawless IV, EV-trained diverse Pokémon for Platinum (Infernape, Gengar, Porygon-Z, Scizor, Gliscor, Garchomp), but there wasn't a single E4 Member where I got out without needing a Revive. I was used to waltzing through E4 ranks with just one Pokémon for the other gens.
Granted, Flint was cheesy since he Flamethrower'd my Gliscor who Swords Dance'd. Got burned. I did a Full Restore, he does Flamethrower again and crits me. I'm fairly sure my Gliscor would've OHKO'd all his Pokés with EQ.

Cynthia's Garchomp did go down in one hit to my Download Choice Specs lv. 53 Porygon-Z's Ice Beam, though. So that was neat.

This thread has made me settle on Drasna being my favorite E4 member. It wasn't much of a competition honestly.
>>
>>26104068
Koga needs to be in the literally cannot be forgotten tier because he's the only gym leader to ascend to the rank of Elite 4.

Also

>Ronald
>Knight Guy

Must not be too memorable if you don't know their names

I am N! Taste my face to your fist style!

N, buddy, you are supposed to train and heal Pokemon, not throw them away every time they faint.

Objectively good taste confirmed, specially for the Best E4 - Unova part.
