Favorite Kanto E4 member?

Which of Kanto's Elite 4 members did everybody like the most? Please explain your choice(s) a little.

I loved Lance back in the R/B/Y days and I liked his team for the most part, except for Aerodactyl and Gyarados, which didn't suit his type specialty.

I like Lorelei and Bruno the best. Lorelei because of her role in the Sevii Islands post-game story on Four Island. Then she also collects dolls, which I find really cute. I am also a fan of Bruno since he seems to be a rather strong and cool trainer.

I liked Lorelei cuz she had a good personality. I mean Agatha seemed arrogant by comparison and Lance and Bruno were kind of tame hee hee. Also, Lorelei using water and ice types was interesting and I liked how she wore glasses like me. :]

Bruno because he actually looked tough. He was the only intimidating Elite Four member in Red/Blue/Yellow and given how strong they all were supposed to be, I felt that they all should've seemed like him.

I'll go with Bruno. He's always been a favourite of my because...he's just cool, I guess?
I also really like his post-battle "My job is done! Go face your next challenge!" quote - sounds like my type of person!
 
Lorelei or Lance. Lorelei has a pretty good design, and while I prefer Lance in general, he was on par with Lorelei in the original games.

Lance is my favorite. His battle was a real challenge for me the first time, and I liked the diversity of his team.

I'll go with Lorelei. I liked her cool, calm, and calculating personality and her team,since she is the only Kanto Elite Four member who doesn't have two Pokemon of the same evolutionary family, let alone species, in her party.

Lance. I loved his design and he had the coolest and strongest team. I even remember playing a make-shift Pokemon role playing game as a kid, and I always had to be Lance.

I can't stand Agatha. Her team was all part Poison, so she should have been classified as a Poison specialist not a Ghost type. I've held a grudge ever since.

Probably Agatha. I liked that they made frightening appearances the theme of her team to combat the lack of ghost types available. (Though they really could have gone with an all ghost team in later generations, when they had more actual ghost options to play with.)

Lorelei.

She didn't have any duplicates on her team.

I liked them all. I think Lance was the most challenging. Agatha was the most terrifying. Bruno was the easiest and Lorelei had a good personality.

I liked them all and each had their own charm. Lorelei made you think of ways to counter her non Ice types and deal with the possibility of being frozen. Bruno was all about pure power. Agatha made things difficult if you had any Pokémon with Fighting or Normal attacks. And Lance could only be countered by two Types: Ice and Electric. Ice Pokémon weren't common back then and Electric attacks weren't super effective at all on Dragonite.

Of course I liked Lance the most. I personally like Dragon trainers. Still found it funny that he doesn't use a whole team of Dragon type Pokémon and that almost all of his Pokémon get decimated with Ice moves despite saying that dragons are 'virtually indestructible'.

Lorelei is my favorite, she is the most memorable, both for being the 1st member of an elite four I ever faced, and because she defeated my team numerous times due to the half Ice typing making Pika's attacks less effective, and Thunder's abysmal hit rate. (My first game was Yellow, so no Raichu for the battles.)
