…Whoa! One week, and there’s already this many replies? Awesome!

Okay, let’s get down to business…


Monsieur_Pikachu-
You’ve heard it already, but props for using veterans Agatha and Lorelei (especially Agatha), as well as Steven. He is a very cool character. Also, like I said before, I personally don’t like Lance as a Champion, but whatever; Dragon is a good type for the position.


Chris 2.0-
WHOA! Trick Master?!?! Yes! The one and only T.M. is one of my fave NPCs from R/S/E, but I would never have though of putting him in the E4. Lots of brownie points for that, dude, especially with the well-themed team you gave him. Also, Juan and Blaine are good Leader choices. I especially like your putting the G/S/C rival in there; he was a very good rival (He’s a more interesting character than Gary, and wasn’t an all-around sucky, benevolent little wuss like May/Brendan). Last but not least, I can very much imagine Norman as a Champ. Great job.


Mikachu Yukitatsu-
Sure, you can. C’mon, give it a try!


MeLoVeGhOsTs-
Succinct, are we? However, a very nice group you’ve put together. Claire and Pryce are both very much E4-potential Leaders, Karen and Steven are just plain cool, and Sabrina was exactly who I had in mind when I suggested using Gym Leaders. Kudos.


RaZoR LeAf-
Nice. Points for using the girls, Jasmine and Erika. They would be tough to get through, using defense- and annoyance-themed teams, respectively, as they do. Good choices. And speaking of which, how’z’about them reformed villains, eh? Archie and Giovanni would make great E4 members, and I totally agree with your reasons for them, as well as for having Karen as the Champ. You’re right, that was always her policy.


Mr. Bikini Fan-
Well, this is interesting. I like the inclusion of anime-exclusive Professor Ivy, as well as her selection of pokémon, But maybe you shouldn’t have had both Misty and Lorelei, since Misty uses Waters, and a lot of Lorelei’s Icers are also part water, and whattheheckwaitadoggonesecond… I’m seeing some sort of theme, here…

They’re all the girls… in bikinis…

[[ Hormones start raging ]]

Hmm… Woo-Hoo!

May as Champion! Is she legal by now? Or at least post-puberty? I hope so…

[[ Makes note to draw all of Mr. Bikini Fan’s team later (in “proper attire,” of course) ]]


Magmar-
Heh. Somebody had to give some props to the fruity Water Leader, eh? As well as Bugsy; I somehow knew from the very moment I made my “non-recommendation” of him, that someone would use him because of it. Like before, brownie points for using Sabrina and Giovanni, as well as the game’s rival as the Champ. A nice little throwback to RBY, there. Nice.

Mr. Bikini Fan-
Yes, we know, but we forgive you. By the way, I stole your signature pics and added them to my collection.

Mega Horny... ( ‘~’; ) -

Like Gym Leaders, do we? Points for Flannery, though; she’s definitely one of the younger Leaders you can see being in the E4 someday. As for Rudy, there’s 3 possible conclusions I could come to. 1) You meant “Ruby,” or Brendan/May. 2) It’s an original character, created for your E4. 3) It’s you. Whichever it is, nice job with him and the others.

So overall… wow. There’s no way I expected to have this many replies, much less with this much thought put into them. Nice job so far, everyone.

Sometime soon (Too busy at the moment), I’ll post my E4 and Champ. There’s a twist to it that I’m sure you’ll find unexpected. (Hint: Samurai Jack’s theme song’s tag line).

Arrivederci, sciocci!
