The fact that in BW Cynthia's battle theme was raised one note higher. And in B2W2, it's pitch gets raised yet another note higher makes it all the more intimidating.
@@Blue2Pran2907 I was always afraid to use any HM's or even TM's because TM's were a one shot thing,so I only used one or two and never used any again lol.
I played black white before any shinoh region game but I knew who cynthia was(always simping for her) but after that unfortunate battle in black and white damn bro I didn't knew she was a monster I got wiped 3 to 4 times.
She's on vacation, and might be practicing with some of her pokemon that aren't part of her main team, makes sense she doesn't have her "crush all opposition" team on hand.
I mean on a summer vacation you'd think she'd bring her Togekiss though. Seems like a Pokemon that'd be nice to have around on holiday, Spiritomb not so much lol.
@@shapshapshapshap2829 The dead souls take turns on being the face of the Spiritomb so they never really get tired because they swap places every now and then.
I personally stumbled upon her by accident. My battle with her was even more memorable as I came into that game after having beaten platinum a month before, I did what anyone who could did and sent over all my pokemon after beating the game, so my pokemon remain a culmination of my journey across all generations I played, and continue to do so, this created a problem though, I run into her and my first reaction is "Oh no, oh god no" only for her to say my eyes are familiar, making me realize that platinum did indeed happen, I fought her and realized immediately my time paradox causing mistake, I had Giratina Origin form in my party, which I was forced to use. After the battle she said I reminded her of the trainer who faced Giratina, and that line had far more impact for me personally, because I just used the same Giratina that trainer faced against her, because it was me. That was my favorite moment in all of pokemon, and it really made me realize that as the player, you really are an anomaly, having a journey across every region with experience and friends made across many generations.
I remember meeting her thinking, "Oh cool the previous champion." Then remembering, "Oh no, it's the previous champion" once the theme kicked up. Thankfully, I had a few 80s on my team then before facing her, so it was a fairly closer battle than all my previous matches.
The devs giving her braviary and glaceon: we gotta give them a bit of a chance Jokes aside, at least she doesn't battle you automatically upon walking in XD you at least get to prepare
The exclamation mark appearing on top of her head is enough to make me shit my pants. Cynthia is known for being one of the strongest trainer of all time and the games hard-wired you to expect a fight because of the exclamation mark. This is even scarier when you are running a post-game nuzlocke.
One thing you forgot to point out, and the thing I absolutely love about her appearance in gen 5 is the continuity. She's no longer referred to as "Champion Cynthia" but simply "Pokemon Trainer Cynthia" the trainer she was mentioning kicked her ass
oho, me too, i just was like no, NO, NOOOO, and ran out (i still battled her after switching out the hm slaves into my full team after dragging my psychologically shaken body into the centre)
I remember finding Cynthia in B/W the first time: I've never completed D/P/P, but always heard the rumblings about the most feared trainer in Pokemon Cannon. Next thing you know, I'm exploring Undella post game, kicking the dirt and *BOOM!* I peed my pants, got wiped withing 10 turns and vowed never to walk into that house *EVER AGAIN!*
Another interesting thing for the undella town cynthia fight is that if you brought a giratina, altered or origin form, from gen 4 and bring it out to fight. Cynthia would be in shock from you possessing it and question who you are. It's those unique interactions with important npc fights that were cool.
@@popcornchicken1146 Well, I could try to do that again and get a proper recording of it. I would have to find an emulator method for transferring though since I traded off my cartridges at some point by gen 6. I wouldnt be surprised if it was unheard of since gen 4 to gen 5 transfer is convoluted and expensive with the two ds requirement. Generating was hit or miss to since hex data on a hacked Mon was weird and most unique npc dialogue was tied to move usage and types not pokemon.
i never completed my Pearl game so meeting her in Undella town was a 100% shock to me. I had no idea who she was and she SWEEPS my team from an out of the blue encounter. It made me train up to go back and beat her and now she's my favorite champion.
I had gotten to her in Diamond but 5 year old me couldn't beat her. Was a shcok seeing her in BW to say the least, but at least I beat her for the first time there.
I legit threw my DS when I saw her in Undella town, for context I had recently finished a pokemon platinum nuzlocke where her garchomp wiped nearly my whole team save for my Onix that I had on the team because I was running low on good pokemon
as someone whose only experience in pokemon was emerald and I never even got to Gym 4 there, I played BnW back then with no much knowledge and entering this room I thought oh this is a random new character just for your post game experience then she yeets me and Im like *wait wait wait hold on hold on what the hell*
Stumbling upon Cynthia without having been spoiled was actually a great surprise when I first played through my Pkmn White. When you always make a strong playthrough team, you kinda stomp all the basic trainers you run into. Running into Cynthia and getting a random champion-level challenge basically turned overworld exploration on its head and breathed new air into exploration. A+ move by the game developers.
I just... imagine if you open this house in a gen 5 remake and no one's in there, but then you turn around and the piano starts playing "What are you doing in my house?"
If BW remakes is a thing, somehow i have a feeling that GameFreak will troll us by placing Cynthia in different place in Undella Town, just to make that nostalgic feeling of terrifying surprise once again 😂
Nah they should make it so when you enter the house you'll be able to take like 5 steps before Cynthia enters the house...or just make it so when you exit the house for the first time cynthia appears
@@theperfectidio1 It's a shame the anime went so shambles. It's just about the only anime I really care for and can still watch without cringing to death.
I still remember finding Cynthia randomly and my heart dropping into my stomach as I realize her Pokemon were superior to mine in Level, moveset, Pokemon, and gumption
Isn't Cynthia hot in that dress though? Sure it's appropriate in Sinnoh, when the weather is always cold, but in a place like Unova, I imagine the summer would get a bit warm even if the rest of the year is cool Edit: what's with all you simps in the replies?
I remember walking in once. Upon remembering Cynthia from the previous game I started freaking out because I didn’t save before the battle not knowing of her presence. I got destroyed like all of us.
what’s funny is that cynthia’s battle theme in bw/2 is that it goes up a half step in key kind of like how the gym leader and elite four theme from dppl does; then it shifts up another half step for her pwt theme as if going even further beyond that
I'm going to be honest: personally, I'm firmly anti-Dexit and see the Indigo League to Ultra Adventures timeline as Ash's one and only true, definitive anime timeline. I hate the Journeys timeline with a burning passion.
It is my personal lore that pokemons like glaceon or braviary are for comfort or to be at vacations (ice in the beach or to travel without being recognized) and as she isnt a "champion" (vacations) she doesnt need to have her fighting team, so those pokemons could help her in other ways with their moves or to convince people she isnt a champion just looks like her as cynthia doesnt have those pokemons.
That battle completely caught me off guard and my highest level was 63 and I got destroyed by her team and just starred at the screen as to what just happened as that was the most one-sided match I was ever on where I was severely under-levelled
White was my first ever Pokémon game, so I didn’t know who she was when I first saw her. I DO remember being really confused why there was just a random trainer in Undella Town that had such a crazy strong team with not many Unovan Pokémon
I never finished Gen 4, but I did finish Gen 5 and I found her. I didn't remember her so to me she wasn't scary when I met her and obviously got destroyed by her in the first battle since she was much higher level and I wasn't even familiar with her team. I like to think of her as being so disappointed with never challenging her so she hopped onto the next gen just to beat me in Pokemon.
I loved this! I just love the fact that they brought Caitlin back too and the Villa you find Cythia in is Caitlin's! My first reaction when seeing Caitlin reappear for the elite 4 was a huge smile of excitement since she was one of my fav Frontier Brains(even tho you didn't actually fight her in the Battle Frontier)
I like how Caitlin mentions before you fight her as an Elite 4 member that she used to be more temperamental, before learning how to control her impulses and her psychic powers.
She's one of my fave Elite Four members besides Shauna and Grimsley, mostly because we share the same name. Except I have an "YN," instead of an "I N."
In pokemon conquest its good because of the amount of dragons in the game, nobunaga for example only use dragons, so if you want to to have some advantage against his zekrom or shiny rayquaza(yep, the guy owns 2 legendaries) glaceon is a good pokemon.
Opens the door to Cynthias theme: Ok ok, it's just a 6v6 relax we got this. Opens a door to Volo's theme: HOW THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE 8 POKEMON! THAT'S IT I'M OUT! THE DOOR IS LOCKED! SHIT SHIT SHIT!
Honestly, yeah it is just really satisfying to see people from older games and it's just really nice to see Pokémon look into this therefore putting more emphasis on lore and overall detail.
Cynthia is the most terrifying pokemon trainer if not most powerful champion ever. When i first play pokemon black and white 2 I saw her. I HAD A HEART ATTACK LOL
I'm pretty sure that was literally the first thing I did when I went into Undella town. Turned, walked in there, and got my half dead team cleaned up. Cynthia's used to cleaning up she did a great job. I went back after and did better, but yea, don't mess with the true champ.
Bruh i still remember Coil sweeping with my Serperior after sacrificing 3 mons just to heal it up and use a couple leppa berries. Shit caught me so off guard lmao.
I forgot she had level 75's, and came over to her hot off the heels of my beating the main game. I made a terrible mistake. I actually did manage to defeat spiritomb, but then failed miserably to do anything else.
Pokemon White for me was actually where I started in the series. So I remember when I went into this house out of curiosity as a kid, I of course didn’t know who was in there, like many others. But even after seeing her, I did not recognize her. She even kept it a bit of a mystery, never once actually bringing up where she’s from or the fact that she’s a champion. So she challenged me to a pokemon battle, and I didn’t find it too odd. I was a little surprised, but didn’t really find it too out of place for this game. When the music started playing, I did notice it was different, and that’s what started telling me: this trainer is different. But okay, cool. This random pretty NPC has some music of her own. I’ve already taken down Team Plasma, beat N after he toppled the pokemon league. Surely, with Zekrom on my team, I could take her, right? I notice her pokemon are at such a high level, as mentioned here in the video. I realize I’m at a considerable disadvantage, but being the kid I was, I didn’t care, and again, was only a little surprised. Two minutes later I’m back at the pokemon center with the world’s biggest surprised pikachu face wondering what the heck just happened. AND THEN I TRIED AGAIN RIGHT AWAY I don’t know how I beat her many tries after that, but she was downright scary. I’d not felt quite so nervous throughout the entire main story of the game as when I kept walking up to her to try again and again. When I played W2, I knew one thing for certain: avoid that house until you’re at least at her level like your life depends on it, because worse, your pokemon’s lives depend on it. Good times, good times…
Dude, your accent is sooo nice. You speak so clearly it is very easy to understand for people who are not native speakers. I didn't even notice it was in english most of the video.
White Vers. Was my introduction to the Pokémon games, I did watch the anime when I could But that wasn't often, so I had no idea who Cynthia was. I just saw a sprite that was different from the rest and talked to her only to get my team absolutely stomped.
Back on BW, I have a Zekrom on my team and I entered the house.... ....and then Cynthia proceeds to paint the whole house red my my and my Pokemon's blood.
I think when Cynthia was talking about seeing the Trainer's eyes before, I feel like it was a metaphorical nod to the player. Like we know who Cynthia is and what she's capable of. We've battled Cynthia before. We as the player, is only but, the trainer spirit that controls the character we use in which Cynthia seems to be familiar with. She's familiar with "us" as the spirit who faced her as Lucas/Dawn. She was able to feel that same presence of true potential coming from us even though we aren't Lucas/Dawn but Hilbert/Hilda, two whole separate people from two whole different regions. The eyes she's rally talking about are the eyes that are peering into the DS, our own eyes. The eyes behind the avatar player.
I love how most people had trouble with Cynthia, but I was usually able to beat her pretty easily since her Spiritomb would spam double team, so I would have serperior spam coil. So the leads blades hit like a truck,did neutral damage to garchomp and serperior was faster than everyone

I never finished Gen 4, but I did finish Gen 5 and I found her. I didn't remember her so to me she wasn't scary when I met her and obviously got destroyed by her in the first battle since she was much higher level and I wasn't even familiar with her team. I like to think of her as being so disappointed with never challenging her so she hopped onto the next gen just to beat me in Pokemon.
Same. I didn't know what kind of danger I was really in until she personally taught me the fear I should be feeling.
I can imagine Garchomp on the beach just like "Aw hell yeah" and diving headfirst into the sand to swim around.
Actually, not all protagonists have gray eyes. Hilda’s eyes are blue, not grey. And Hilbert has brown eyes. Not trying to nerd out on you, though 😂
Damn didn’t expect my comment to get so much likes in 3 days..
Also let's not forget the fact that Rosa has the most unnaturally blue eyes anyone's ever seen
I was thinking about this. Red, Yellow, Gold and Crystal don't have grey eyes too, right?
I was thinking the same exact thing. He legit showed Hilda when he was saying every character had gray eyes, who has extremely blue eyes
@@NinjaPickle exactly, probably just a mistake but they’re clearly blue.. and Rosa’s as well 💀
still to this day i refuse to enter any random house out of fear of cynthia being in there ready to jump me
I loved this! I just love the fact that they brought Caitlin back too and the Villa you find Cythia in is Caitlin's! My first reaction when seeing Caitlin reappear for the elite 4 was a huge smile of excitement since she was one of my fav Frontier Brains(even tho you didn't actually fight her in the Battle Frontier)
I like how Caitlin mentions before you fight her as an Elite 4 member that she used to be more temperamental, before learning how to control her impulses and her psychic powers.
She's one of my fave Elite Four members besides Shauna and Grimsley, mostly because we share the same name. Except I have an "YN," instead of an "I N."
"All of them have gray eyes"
Proceeds to show blue eyes
At 1:07, the split pop up says "Tomboy propaganda? Nope. Not here." With a picture of Hilda.
Yeah saw it too
Yeah I just paused it on the right spot then I read your comment lol
NPC: nekid Cynthia behind you!!
Me: where??
NPC: she went to that house!!
Wow-wow-wow Cynthia chill!!
I actually never battled her in gen 5, but it is such a nice surprise!! :D
I had to out level her and morimoto, now I'd just build a anti team against her.
You can battle her after Elite 4
Oh thank god you didn't
*Player enters the house*
Cynthia : YOU PICK THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL!!
Glaceon doesn't need to be good in battle to be the best eeveelution.
In pokemon conquest its good because of the amount of dragons in the game, nobunaga for example only use dragons, so if you want to to have some advantage against his zekrom or shiny rayquaza(yep, the guy owns 2 legendaries) glaceon is a good pokemon.
In terms of breeding...
@@seawind930 thats vaporeon :)
But I actually think glaceon is WAYYY cuter and more... compatible 😏

Wait is swimsuit cynthia a real thing now
@@selfloathinggameing depends
Opens the door to Cynthias theme: Ok ok, it's just a 6v6 relax we got this.
Opens a door to Volo's theme: HOW THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE 8 POKEMON! THAT'S IT I'M OUT! THE DOOR IS LOCKED! SHIT SHIT SHIT!
0:04 "Get in"
Me: No, ladies first
"YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE FOO!!!!"
Don't say you like the anime: *Cynthia in Undella Town*
If you've never read the manga: *Demi-Fiend in Digital Devil Saga*
Yeah, who could ever forget the only enemy to transcend the 999 damage limit and approach 9999 damage like it’s Final Fantasy.
ok, by damage i meant HP
She should’ve used the Big Smoke quote: “You picked the wrong house fool!” 🤣
Cynthia and her garchomp: You picked the wrong house, fool!
Honestly, yeah it is just really satisfying to see people from older games and it's just really nice to see Pokémon look into this therefore putting more emphasis on lore and overall detail.
Man I love the beginning lmao
Cynthia is the most terrifying pokemon trainer if not most powerful champion ever. When i first play pokemon black and white 2 I saw her. I HAD A HEART ATTACK LOL
I just said "Fuck" and loaded my last save
When you play a randomizer and the first house you enter triggers the battle: hehe im in danger
When I did this hwen I was 7, I actually screamed: OH SHIT IM GONNA DIE
When I first walked into that house and saw Cynthia, I immediately shut off my DS and walked away
I'm pretty sure that was literally the first thing I did when I went into Undella town. Turned, walked in there, and got my half dead team cleaned up. Cynthia's used to cleaning up she did a great job. I went back after and did better, but yea, don't mess with the true champ.
Pov: your nuzlock is about to end
1:04 'all the game protagonists have grey eyes'
Lyra: am I a joke to you?
Yeah the grey eyes thing is total bs he even had to use mays oras design because the original games had like a navy blue as her eye colour
This encounter scared the shit out of everyone who played through sinnoh.
Bruh i still remember Coil sweeping with my Serperior after sacrificing 3 mons just to heal it up and use a couple leppa berries. Shit caught me so off guard lmao.
Cynthia be like : you picked the wrong house fool
I forgot she had level 75's, and came over to her hot off the heels of my beating the main game.
I made a terrible mistake. I actually did manage to defeat spiritomb, but then failed miserably to do anything else.
Pokemon White for me was actually where I started in the series. So I remember when I went into this house out of curiosity as a kid, I of course didn’t know who was in there, like many others. But even after seeing her, I did not recognize her. She even kept it a bit of a mystery, never once actually bringing up where she’s from or the fact that she’s a champion.
So she challenged me to a pokemon battle, and I didn’t find it too odd. I was a little surprised, but didn’t really find it too out of place for this game. When the music started playing, I did notice it was different, and that’s what started telling me: this trainer is different.
But okay, cool. This random pretty NPC has some music of her own. I’ve already taken down Team Plasma, beat N after he toppled the pokemon league. Surely, with Zekrom on my team, I could take her, right?
I notice her pokemon are at such a high level, as mentioned here in the video. I realize I’m at a considerable disadvantage, but being the kid I was, I didn’t care, and again, was only a little surprised.
Two minutes later I’m back at the pokemon center with the world’s biggest surprised pikachu face wondering what the heck just happened.
AND THEN I TRIED AGAIN RIGHT AWAY
I don’t know how I beat her many tries after that, but she was downright scary. I’d not felt quite so nervous throughout the entire main story of the game as when I kept walking up to her to try again and again. When I played W2, I knew one thing for certain: avoid that house until you’re at least at her level like your life depends on it, because worse, your pokemon’s lives depend on it.
Good times, good times…
Me: *opens the door*
*sees Cynthia*
Also Me: Ohhhhhhh…shhhhhhhhhhit
Gator: "I like what she says when you first meet her..."
Cynthia when you first meet her: *notices ur uncanny resemblance* "owo, what's this?"
I still remember waking into this house for the first time and tbh I’ve never panicked that hard before in a game
Dude, your accent is sooo nice. You speak so clearly it is very easy to understand for people who are not native speakers. I didn't even notice it was in english most of the video.
The absolute dread on eleven year old Smugglefish when he entered that house...
"You picked the wrong house, fool!"
-Cynthia, probably
Cynthia: *breaks out the swimsuit*
The entire cosmos: *screaming Japanese man meme*
0:03 The pianos begin playing. My ADHD after dealing with Cynthia in Pokémon diamond pearl and platinum, oh shit here we go again but worse.
White Vers. Was my introduction to the Pokémon games, I did watch the anime when I could But that wasn't often, so I had no idea who Cynthia was. I just saw a sprite that was different from the rest and talked to her only to get my team absolutely stomped.
I learned to save my game just before entering any random house
I was tryna reject her battle request but I pressed Yes on accident because my hands were shaking so much
Back on BW, I have a Zekrom on my team and I entered the house....
....and then Cynthia proceeds to paint the whole house red my my and my Pokemon's blood.
Oh my god they really do all have similar eye colors with the exception of SwSh, BW, and Calem
I think when Cynthia was talking about seeing the Trainer's eyes before, I feel like it was a metaphorical nod to the player.
Like we know who Cynthia is and what she's capable of. We've battled Cynthia before. We as the player, is only but, the trainer spirit that controls the character we use in which Cynthia seems to be familiar with. She's familiar with "us" as the spirit who faced her as Lucas/Dawn. She was able to feel that same presence of true potential coming from us even though we aren't Lucas/Dawn but Hilbert/Hilda, two whole separate people from two whole different regions. The eyes she's rally talking about are the eyes that are peering into the DS, our own eyes. The eyes behind the avatar player.
I love how most people had trouble with Cynthia, but I was usually able to beat her pretty easily since her Spiritomb would spam double team, so I would have serperior spam coil. So the leads blades hit like a truck,did neutral damage to garchomp and serperior was faster than everyone
