Was the Elite Four a pushover in this generation?

The only problem I had with the Sinnoh E4 was Cynthia

The rest of them were fairly easy, but...

She was the first one of them to take out my Dialga, which I used as a front to defeat the first 4 of them, and then all I had to do was revive it and I won.

Not that big of a problem, but still bugged me

Well, i think they were all a pushover, considerring my highest level was a level fifty when i beat them (an Uxie), and i beat them first time too!

I found the DP E4 dissapointingly easy actually. :( The only leader I actually had to fight more than once in the whole game was the first gym leader.

Yessssss, master!
They were more of a challenge if you faced them with low level pokemon, like level 48 and 50. Still:
Aaron: Who uses a Beautifly and expects to win? Drapion was the only semi-threat
Bertha: Wow. She's just sad. My Roserade OHKO'd all of her pokemon easily, and it was LV 48
Flint: OK, you can't blame him for not having many fire pokemon, because there were only two you could choose from.
Lucian: FINALLY a challenge. Still, my Weavile pwned her.
Cynthia: Nice to see a champion with different type pokemon again. Gary was the only one before her. Garchomp and Lucario were the only problems.
Overall: WAY too easy.

It was.. tough, I had to say. Lucian and Cynthia were just trouble for my team. (which, at that moment, was Infernape, Luxray, Staraptor, Manaphy and Dialga) Damn Garchomp of hers.

I always thought the 3rd Generation we're challanges.
But with the D/P Elite Four having pokemon slightly 8 levels higher than R/S/E's Elite Four gives me a hard time.
Now the only time I'll fight an Elite Four is when one of my Pokemon is Lv99.

I thought that the R/S/E elite four was much easier then these guys but I think the first Elite four (FR/LG) was the hardest and most fun.

Go with the current
Aaron: waaaay too easy!
Bertha: again, waaaay too easy!
Flint: still easy to beat... but you didn't have all fire types! (lame!)
Lucian: you were somewhat hard to beat.... good defence!
Cynthia: same as Lucian. Ditch the roserade! It kills you!

Emerald's E4 is a great deal harder than DP's. Stoopid Milotic of Wallace's. Stoopid Cheating Kingdra of Drake's.

Garchomp would have been more of a threat if my Gengar wasn't semi-trained in defense. Having those EVs saved it from Dragon Rush, allowing it to, god forbid, wall.

Yea...none of them actually poses a big problem, IMO. Cynthia is fine, but...
Think of Wallace and Steven...

Generally, they were just tough at my first-third tries. Later, a 65 Gardevoir owned the lot of them...

Aaron: I don't want to blow my own horn...but the only one who wasn't KOed was Drapion...because of his strange type input...

Bertha: Easy as heck...though Hippodawn could ruin some stragaties...

Flint: Infernape a little quick, the rest pwned to crisp...though I must say a nice move-pool...almost every Elite Four member has a good movepool...

Lucian: A challange...Bronzong and Mr. Mime were pests...
Although I like him, I couldn't help mocking him by sending a pure psychic type at his pokemon...a few calm minds and then Psychic (I could've used shadow ball) and they were at his feet.

Cynthia: Cool outfit...but, not a very cool battle...I was so excited when I first saw her. "Oh, she must be ready for a good battle." but all her pokemon seemed to lengthen the match...The best was her Garchomp...Scary thing...

Overall: Mid-hard for 50s...hit the 60-70s and they're crisp.

I wish Ninty would give them upgrades...or give us the ability to train at Gym leaders for a re-match...

i think it was all extremely easy until the 4th and 5th battle, then it got barely challenging
