Note from moving: This Elite Four Showdown will last slightly shorter than the previous episodes. We’re excited to start our new Showdown format, so we’re speeding things up! Get your votes in now!
They were all very forgettable, the weakest elite four, in both memorability and strength itself. Plus it was extremely lazy to not have higher levels post game, they even kept only four Pokemon.
But that’s just Gen 6 for ya.
TBF the no rematch teams thing has been pretty much every base pair besides R/S and B/W.
Gen 6 added so much to Pokémon that I love… but Kalos and the story suuuuuuuuuuck. But damn I loved Team Flare aesthetic.
The only one I truly remembered was Drasna cause she reminds me of an awesome grandma
i dont remember any of them
Voted siebold, only one who gave me issues on my recent nuzlocke
Voted Malva because she has the most personality and story out of this bland bunch.
Drasna, just aesthetic-wise.
Wilstrom. Cos he’s a Steel Type specialist.
And that’s it.
These E4 were probably the worst I have ever seen
Drasna, she has a really cool personality which some may see as contrary to her type (and I’m a sucker for that type of character) and I love the detail of why she chose to train the Dragon Type. In like 2025 I’m going to be dissatisfied if she doesn’t have a Drampa in her rematches.
Completely agree!

I’m going to be dissatisfied if we don’t have rematches AT ALL. Cuz, remember how XY did that? :/
Remember how every game that wasn’t in Hoenn or Unova didn’t do it first time round? -___-
Literally, Kanto, Johto and Sinnoh (which had no excuse, it came after Ruby and Sapphire) had no elite four rematches either. It’s not just a Kalos thing, and it’s actually the norm over getting rematches first time round. And seeing as FRLG and HGSS got rematches in remakes, they’re probably gonna have rematches in XY remakes.
Now you got me thinking about what kind of improvements Pokémon X and Y 2025 would have, or what the graphics would look like…. O^O
X and Y reborn – You’re IN the game.
Thought I should mention, it’s been a while, I’m sesquipedalianpokedex btw.
You are?! He is ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a scary though how much technology could advance in the next ten-ish years 😡
Dasna is also the most cheerful and kind of the 4, plus she also looks the most elegant, which is why she’s won MY vote!
I’ll go with Drasna because she had the most personality out of the 4, the others were just assholes (looking at you Siebold) or lacked severely in personality
BY FAR THE BEST GEN7 POKEMON
http://img04.deviantart.net/0323/i/2016/288/8/a/silvally_by_salanchu-dal34kx.png
I love it but… debatable
What do you think is the best gen 7 pokemon 🙂
Wellllll it’s tied for me XD
Lunala
Pyukumuku
Kommo-O
I like Lunala and Kommo-o, but I think Pyukumuku is just eh…
The best imo are Silvally, Rowlet, Vikavolt, Mudsdale and Drampa.
Rowlet is also up there too
But Pyuku IS SO FRIGGIN CUTE!!!!!
Agreed!
Hmmm… That picture doesn’t seem to be of Tapu Koko, an accident I’m sure 😉
Tru
For once, I’m with the seemingly popular choice. Super strange, never thought Drasna would be popular.
But yeah, love her sweet, kind personality that conflicts with her typing, like Fairy said, but I think it makes it more relatable and human that way. There’s a harsh, rough side to dragons, but at the same time, as Drasna embodies, dragons can be wise and kind. And I love her design/room design. Looks very relaxing when I first stepped into her room.
Exactly!
Besides, I think she is the only E4 member who says something to you when you leave!
I feel like shes a grandma who would bake you a plate of Lava Cookies
She’s the only one whose leaving dialogue corresponds to you leaving the room, the rest trigger after you battle them I think. And I really like her for that.
Exactly! It fits her really well :3
Me neither! I like how she is the most popular (for now at least). She is my 2nd favorite E4-member, just behind Grimsley. I’m glad my favorite may finally win this time.
Wikstom was in a movie?!?!?!? Which movie? lol
Cocoon of Destruction.
Hmmmmmmmoh ok now I remember…..I think it was just in the opening right?
Yeah, it was just a cameo, I actually looked it up after reading the article lol
Gotcha thanks! lol
So if we’re rapping up the E4 showdown to move on to the next one…. what are we doing next?
Best Frontier Brain
Obviously Nolan
You’ll have to wait to see 😉
It’s different than Gym Leader and E4 though.
Um…..champions……? lol
That’s not very different 🙂
That’s what’s next tho in the traditional progression hahaha
It is, but Sam and I decided to do something else now
Ah cool. Shaking things up eh? lol
I bet it has to do with SM because you want to rush things along.
seems evil but cool tho. is it best pokemon tails?
Drasna is queen and you can just be mad.
Wow, the poll results are really not reflected in the comments, I haven’t seen anyone voting for Malva besides me but she’s second majority in the poll.
Hey guys……guess what…………….3 MORE DAYS AND WE GET TO PLAY THE SUN AND MOON DEMO!!!!! Sorry for the caps…….just got really excited for a moment hahaha
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I need it. I want it.

Found a gif that represents me 😀
YEAH!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/97de6c5aa3eda5e44099ea792cd4a573d43915963ec5f0c582f396167aa8a197.gif
this gave me a seizure
Sorry hahaha
That picture made me want to look up fan art, dang it: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4cf98d609c95b5e128b2c98abb5f4d8cb0fcb6631e6f62463522102e47c13c8d.jpg
Needs an epilepsy warning.
MY FUCKING EYES THEY’RE KILLING ME
Porygon is not amused by the seizure.
Noooo!!!! Don’t remind me!!! My heart is starting to race again!!!!!!
My boss opened a new store in a town about 45 minutes away from where I live, so he’s been having me drive back and forth to work it. Still no customers, but great wifi, and I’m alone to do whatever from 10-5…so…gonna be playing demo all day everyday 😉
Nice! I have to work in the morning so i won’t be able to play until around 1:30ish……BUT I’m gonna start the download before I leave in the morning so I can play as soon as I get home lol
Best way to do it 🙂
This is sad for me, I likely have only three days left until I have to leave PJ for over a month. Not just that, I have to avoid spoilers for a month. D:
Them pants on Malva… *votes*
Drasna!! It’s so unfortunate how little treatment she got (i.e., not being shown in the anime). I genuinely find her to be one of the best E4 designs. She’s just so cute! And that personality! Also she’s from Sinnoh! Malva comes in a close second for me, solely because of the anime.

I had never noticed her shoes before…I like em!
Woah, woah, woah… I never noticed those dragon shoes before! Where can I get some lol
that one is a tad more curvier then the offical art….
But nonetheless i’m still peeved they didn’t stick her with iris for the whole past Partner Episode, this was the only Generation who never did so
I really hope that she’s in Sun /Moon or in the Hopeful Gen 4 remakes!
Disappointed Caitlin won last round. I actually really dislike her design. So awkward looking.
and you’re surprised half the time its a contest of who want to stick it in
Hey man. It’s GameFreak’s fault for not giving better character development! xD Give me two dimensional characters I’ll utilize two dimensional thinking when deciding who my favorites are. haha
But forreal. That hat bugs the crap outta me lol
My man Grimsly was almost there ToT
Kinda feel like Grimsly and Shauntal were working against each other by having semi-similar styles and types.
Hard to choose as I find them all forgettable but I guess if I had to choose, it would be Malva for her connection to Team Flare.
I pick Drasna first, Malva second. I love the way Drasna acts, I have fought her many times in the Battle Chateau for training, she has a strong team. She also has this cool Dragon Tribe design going on. Malva is second because I like her sub-plot and her team, also she’s pretty (not as hot as Flannery though 😛 ).
What generation do you guys think did a great job of highlighting types?
– Generation 5 had the best Bug-types from Scolipede, Leavanny, Volcorona, Accelgor, to Escavalier
– Generation 7 so far has some of the best Grass-types with Rowlet3, Lurantis, and Tseerina
– Generation 6 has really cool Fairy-types from Sylveon, Klefki, Diancie, to Florges
– Generation 3 had really good water-types from Gorbyss, Milotic, Swampert, Ludicolo, and a lot more
– Generation 4 had awesome Normal-types including Lopunny, Glameow, Porygon-Z, to Lickilicky
Gen 4 had the best selection of ground types
Torterra
Hippowdon
Gastrodon
Gliscor
Mamoswine
garchomp
And my King of the Earth: Rhyperior
I think Gen 6 had stellar Dragon types, they really broke the mold after Gen V played its Dragons too safe. Pokémon Dragons have always been wild and whacky (yet logical) since Gen II (a sea horse, with the next Gen giving a antlion, a bird, then Gen IV with a shark) but all of Gen V’s were just so bland imo.
I mean we got a snail, a bat, a t-rex, and a whole different sea horse along with a flatworm snake thing 😀
Idk honestly, I just like certain Pokemon from certain geneations (obviously).
I was thinking, what if Ribombee got a Kamen Rider-esque 3rd stage, I can imagine it with that scarf flowing in a superhero pose.
I don’t quite understand how the relatively bland Caitlin won over pretty much the best E4 of all time, Grimsley (My opinion obvs), y’all weird.
Voting for Drasna, and yay she’s winning for the mo, though that’s exactly the pattern grimsley followed so I’m gonna ignore it because otherwise I’m gonna have to watch some other bore take her crown like Caitlin did to Grimsley.
Totally agree. Y’all really weird
I voted for Drasna because she deserves more love. She’s the only Elite 4 member from Kalos who hasn’t made an appearance:
– Wikstorm had a movie appearance
– Siebold had an episode to himself and Alan
– Malva was in multiple episodes during the Flare Arc and after
