Thank you, SPPf! :)
Fantina

Character Bio
Japanese Name: Melissa
Debut Appearance: "Playing the Leveling Field"

Fantina is the Hearthome City gym leader. She trains ghost-type Pokemon and also sometimes competes in contests. She is not originally from Sinnoh and likewise speaks in a foreign accent. She is also known for her flashy choice of dress, which somewhat resembles a Drifloon.

Discuss.
 
Fantina was a rather interesting gym leader. Making her French in the dub was a nice touch. Her battle style really helped out Ash for the future.
 
She was amazing.

The fact that she had an accent surprised me. It worked well.

I also like her because apparently she beat Barry since he doesn't have her badge.
 
I like Fantina. She's my favorite gym leader for sinnoh.
 
Fantina was amzing because
1- francophones are pwnsome!
2- contests + battles = :)
3- ghost types are some of my faves
4- purple is cool!
5- Hearthome is one of the best cities in the pokeworld
6- cant think of any atm
 
I liked her accent and the way she looked but I didn't like the fact that she kept using Hypnosis to win battles, seemed a little cheap.

It may be cheap but still a smart strategy. Getting on the defensive side can help a lot.

Did she speak french/had a french accent in the original version or was that just added for the dub?

I think that she just said English words in the original.

I think that Fantina is the best Gym Leader in Sinnoh. Her use of Coördinatoring moves and powerful attacks really made her stand out against the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders.
 
At the begining of DP back in 06, I was like ugh, I'm going to hate Fantina. And now I love her. Mostly for her coordination/power/style/etc. She is def. one of my top 3 GL's.
 
On the topic of language, I liked Melissa's random English. Of course I like random English from Japanese people.

Oh and I must day that while people found her looking like a Heath (Tucker) in disguise, I just thought that she was more of a handsome woman; admirable with her own type of beauty and not just blatent fanservice.
 
I don't watch English dubs, but it would be interesting to see her with French accent! And her random English phrases in Japanese version is just simply wacky. xD

I hope Dawn will battle her sometime in the future, but it's unlikely going to happen D:
 
Fantina is my favorite :D. I liked her accent and her personality, and I loved how she was in a lot of episodes also.
