Pokemon Journeys: The Series revealed Ash's reaction to Iris' new Champion status with the newest episode of the series! Ever since it was teased that Iris would be one of the familiar characters making their return to the anime , fans had been anxious to see how the two would treat one another upon their reunion. The two of them have grown quite a bit since they have adventured together through the Unova region, and the newest episode revealed just how much Iris has changed with a full promotion as she's become the Champion of the Unova region.
Episode 65 of the series officially aired in Japan recently, and with it came the confirmation that Iris has since become the Unova Champion just as she was in the Black and White 2 games. User Info: snuffles A fair point on Alder, but Iris gets a pass because the games like to play up the typing as one of the most powerful.
Why would he have the three starters? The reason Red has them is because of Ash and because of Yellow version where they were gift Pokemon. Memory Link was a wonderful idea that fell flat in several many areas Why would it have to straight up import your winning team?
It could have used your original Hall of Fame team in BW and adjusted the levels just like they do every single time you enter the PWT. It's really not that difficult. And since it's your team, you would be setting your own difficulty, and would know your way around it anyway. In the event that a player doesn't use memory link, then a team would be used based on the Pokemon that were pushed most this Gen.

That's the point. If they just replace Victini with Darmanitan or a monkey then it's fine. Yes, and you had a Legendary too. No, it's a random choice because there are better options that make more sense with the theme you're talking about AND with the story. Marshal was Alder's student, why isn't he the champion now?
Cheren wanted to becoming powerful and overtake the champion, why isn't he the champion? Why can't Alder's skilled grandson be the champion?
Before I start, I would like to say that Iris is not a bad Champion, it's just that there are other stronger choices for Champion in my opinion. To understand why Iris is a mediocre choice for a Champion, we must first understand who Iris is. I will keep this brief and only mention only important information about her though she doesn't have too much too talk about anyways. She is first introduced as young but talented and powerful Dragon Trainer. She trained Bianca to help better her as a battler and acted as her bodyguard when her Munna was stolen.
In both games, she is mentioned as an extremely talented and bright battler. After that she can be talked to, but no longer plays any role in the story. Well, let's start first with what she has going for her as a Champion. There is admittedly some strong merits to being Champion and totally makes sense within the narrative.
First off, it is established that she is a massively talented trainer who is still young. That gives her room to grow and become extremely powerful as a trainer. Secondly, she is a Gym Leader or more specifically, the final Gym Leader, which lends even more credence to her strength as a trainer.
Now these two reasons are pretty valid for a character to be a Champion but there are two reasons why Iris shouldn't be the Champion of Black 2 and White 2. The first reason is that she doesn't appear enough in the narrative and doesn't interact enough to the player for there to be any payoff for her becoming Champion. The second reason is there are a few characters who would fit the role of Champion better than her which will be addressed shortly.
Now that I explained why Iris shouldn't be Champion, I can give suggestions on better candidates for filling that role and explain why they would be better at filling the role of Champion compared to Iris. One of the most predictable choices but a strong choice at that. Cheren has much of the same qualifications as Iris but with a more developed and interesting character. It also has the satisfying conclusion to his character arc.
So why does this work? Well not only has he been established as a talented and powerful Trainer but it also shows his maturity and gives him ample opportunity to anwser the question Alder asked him two years ago.
So how would this play out? Well, I think that putting him as Gym Leader is a mistake. He is too strong to be a Gym Leader and being a Champion allows him to retain his team.
His team would be more varied than Iris' allowing for his team to be more balanced and challenging. Within the narrative, he would be more of an onlooker watching the player progress and giving helpful advice when needed.
He can still be affiliated with the Pokemon School but instead of being a teacher, he is more of a sponsor the newly retired Alder could take his place as teacher. He could also ask philosophical questions to the player and Hugh the same way that Alder did to him two years ago. This would allow Hugh to step back and think about his goals outside of saving his sister's Purrlion which would allow us to see a different aspect of him and make him a deeper character.
I could see him being very much influenced by Alder but still taking battles seriously. Another very obvious but still potent choice for Champion, N would be a strong candidate for many of the same reasons as Cheren. He has shown himself to be a capable battler before and he has a special bond with Pokemon, making him distinct. It would also complete his character growth and conclude his character arc as he embraces Pokemon battling and the bond between trainer and Pokemon.
