rant but alder is literally a top tier champion and if you think otherwise because his battle “wasn’t hard” you missed the entire point of bw. the whole PURPOSE of alders character is that he’s meant to show cheren and N that battling shouldn’t consume you and instead should be about developing the bond between your pokemon and other trainers - a lesson he learnt after his own ace pokemon passed away. while so many characters in BW originally represent black and white thinking and ideologies, alder is the much needed grey. a champion battle is meant to represent the players journey and tell a story and alders battle literally does exactly that.
