What the fuck was up with this guy in Emerald? Why did they make

>>28028970
Emerald Wallace > Steven > ORAS Wallace

>>28028970

To vary things up probably

>>28029081
Yes

To give us Juan.

>>28028970
Why would they not? Since when was expanding a character's story and make their role more important and unique a bad thing? It only makes the story better.

It's nice to know that Gym Leaders are allowed to become champion.

What the fuck was up with this chick in BW2? Why did they make such an average side character into the champion and give her a big role in the story? Why not keep Alder as the champ and Iris as the Opelucid Gym Leader?

>>28029491
Iris makes me wonder how long champions keeps their title on average.

>>28028970
In the world of water the aquaman is king..

There was enough water mon in Hoenn to give Juan, Wallace and Archie all unique teams. Kind of crazy

>Emerald had an entirely different champion than the other two
I heard the team bullshit but this is fucking ridiculous, I'm hating this trend of the two versions being so very fucking different. I'm not playing all that shit old games are so boring to play fucking sprites

>>28028970
Because otherwise we wouldn't have gotten based Juan.

>>28029491
Worth it for the GOAT battle theme tbqh.

Red (so he could continue going places and train) and Steven (so he could continue looking for rare stones) seemingly gave up their titles, Hilbert wanted to go out and look for N, so there's no need to keep the title when you're going to be gone for a long time.

I found the underage

Easy champion for Treecko aka the canon hoen starter.

>>28028970
I didn't really get the minor changes in Emerald concerning the 8th gym and Champion. Steven really didn't really do anything different concerning the plot that explains why he couldn't have served his duty, so why the change?

>>28029491
This brings up a valid point though. Is the 8th gym leader given the champion status if the champion steps down with no one else to fulfill the role?

No. A shame since Marlon would make a great champion.

>>28029719
I'm still mad that Juan didn't even get mentioned in ORAS. Just a throaway line from someone in Sotopolis or something.

>>28029508
Technically Alder is a grandpa
Who knows how long he was Champ before N, the player character and then Iris all beat him, one after the other

>>28033631
They bring it up even in ORAS, Steven wanted to go back to finding rare stones, which is something he loves doing, so he passed the title of champ onto his friend.

>>28033692

He doesn't seem to be the type to take responsibilities easily. The game would probably send you on a quest to find Marlon to battle him, because he would be in some dumbfuck nowhere swimming or something.
