I think you'll probably get it when you go back to tell your mom you're going on a journey.
Yeah that would make sense lmao
I dunno why but for some reason, I find it amusing that every single video about the remakes thus far has portrayed Cynthia as just a random npc you encounter thru the game and not the champion that made a lot of unsuspecting kids pull their hairs in frustration as the dreaded Garchomp ripped their teams to shreds
She's meant to be mysterious, and thus her status as Champion is a secret until the very end. Far different from the likes of Leon whose Champion title is shown off to the masses, Cynthia prefers to keep her own Champion status a secret from the public masses mostly.
Plus, gotta make sure the new kids keep that sense of mystery of finding out for themselves that she's in fact the Champion before they kneel before her mighty Garchomp. Throughout the whole game, you're supposed to be wondering just who the hell she is to begin with.
And I plan on doing the same with Torterra destroying Cynthia's Garchomp. I'm going to use Weavile in my run, who could easily drop Chomp in one hit, but where's the fun in that?
Now...does Torterra learn any Ice moves?
No but it resists Earthquake, can hit Garchomp neutrally with both STABs, and has enough bulk to survive Dragon Rush or Giga Impact. It stands the best chance against Garchomp between the three starters since it resists EQ and unlike Infernape and Empoleon, it doesn't just drop to a single Earthquake. Infernape at most will get a hit in before dying, maybe finish off Garchomp if it took damage beforehand, while Empoleon just falls to EQ.
