    Which champion do you prefer in general? I prefer Iris. Easier to beat, but cooler music.

    Alder overall, Iris didn't feel like a champion to me, I found her too easy to beat for that.

    Iris for the music theme. I think Alder's isn't really champion-like (and it's the same as the Subways Boss' one).

    Iris just doesn't seem champion-like to me. She'd make a good gym leader though.

    I didn't like Alder as a champion at all. :[ I prefer Iris in any way, I like how Alder is still part of BW2 though :]

    Like most everyone else here, Iris's music definitely made her a bit better for me. It made you feel things like "This is it", and "But let's still have fun!" She's definitely not Champion-like, but her music does her justice.

    Despite me liking both characters, I voted for Alder. For some reason he always cracks me up whenever he pops up in White 2. And it usually leads me into doing Chuck Norris jokes. Yeah I'm weird :B To me he's like.... Pokémon's version of Chuck Norris.

    Though I didn't really like either, I prefer Alder. He seemed more Champion-like. I did like Iris's champion room, though. It was really neat looking :D

    I like Iris more, it was cool to see that she worked her way up to become champion. I also adore her music, its a lot better than Alder's.

    Neither of them, really.
    I never liked Alder's design, and his demeanor isn't cool at all either. I don't know.
    And Iris looks too childish to be a champion, and I also don't like her at all. And her music was nowhere as threatening as previous champion's.

    I don't know, the champions for Gen V just weren't good in my opinion...

    I think pretty much everybody knows my feelings about Iris, at this point. I don't like her, and never have. She's just....not champion material, in my opinion. Yes, I absolutely loved her music. (possibly because it reminded me a bit of old school Crash Bandicoot?) I loved the champion's room and all, but she was way too easy, to be a champion. I love Alder. I like him in the games, I absolutely love him, in the Anime. He's a goofnut, he likes to have fun with life, but he's also a serious and much more challenging opponent. Even though I loved Iris' battle music, I don't feel it's enough reason to make me choose her, over Alder.

    I liked seeing Iris as champion. She had cooler music, and it was interesting seeing a character that you had interaction with in Black and White, back when she was a regular trainer just like you, become the champion.

    I liked Alder better. He just seems like an actual champion and he seemed more mature.

    I voted for Alder, even though he wasn't my favourite champion. I think Iris would be a cool champion if she was older, possibly competition for Cynthia but a ten-year old (I don't really know how old she is) is just not real champion material to me.

    As for Alder.. anybody who can jump down a cliff without harming themselves needs a bit of credit.

    I voted for Iris. She seems like a really good champion, because she all like; "Aargh! You beat me! But that's okay." I loved her as a gym leader too.

    I actually like Iris. She's a tough champion, she was a great gym leader, and she's in a good mood after you win. Like Dark said, she's happy you won. Good champion for a great game.

    Alder was too easy to beat, iris actually made it somewhat difficult to beat the game. Vote's for her!

    Iris Only used one type and all I had to do was use my beartic while with alder it took me several tries so I think alder is a better champion

    I actually found Iris quite challenging. Maybe not more so than Alder, but still.

    I do prefer Iris. Though she seemed young, I was actually very pleasantly surprised to see her as Champion, so the shock effect plus the amazing music plus her awesome Pokémon made her really fun to battle. I don't particularly like Iris in the anime, but as a champion I thought she was pretty cool.
