(2/2) Furthermore his 'hinted at' relationship with Wallace (which really doesn't extend beyond the two of them obviously having met prior to the events of the game) is no more or less developed than Cynthia's relationship with the female gym leaders/E4 members of Sinnoh and Unova, and Cynthia's relationship with her grandmother is much more explored than Steven's relationship with his father ever is.
Also, Cynthia does actually show she knows what she's talking about when she gives you exposition on the Sinnoh myths. In contrast, we're told that Steven is into rare stones, but we never actually see it, making this more of a case of Informed Ability. He could have been the one to give us exposition on the Red/Blue orbs, but he doesn't even get that.
But I've ranted about Steven enough to derail the conversation. The point is that none of the champions bar Blue have much of a personality at all. Not Lance, not Wallace, not Steven, not Alder. Cynthia no worse off than them whatsoever, but I think you're judging her more harshly than the others because she's a woman and you expect her to be strong. If that's so, then I can't help but disagree with you. A character should be measured by their personality (for which Cynthia is at least on par with all the other champions, if not better,) not because of their gender.
And for the record, when I first played Sapphire and got to the Champion's room, I had no memory of who Steven was myself.
(1/2) Don't you think you're maybe judging Cynthia a bit too harshly precisely because she is a woman, and girls need role models?
The fact is that she's much more involved with the plot than Steven ever was, so far as to jumping straight into the Distortion World with you in Pt. The only time Steven gets somewhat involved with the plot in Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald is when he takes you to the entrance of the Cave of Origin, and then promptly leaves you to your own devices. That's all he ever does that could be considered in any way important. Aside from that, he's quite possibly the most shoddy, poorly thought out, blatant plot device I have ever seen in any Pokemon game to date. It's like the developers realized too late that they had put insurmountable obstacles in your way and decided to shove Steven in there to give you the items necessary to get past them. The most egregious of example to me is when you encounter him outside of Fortree city. He doesn't even give you a "Hey [player], how are you this fine morning?" He just starts in on the importance of the Devon Scope and has you randomly fight Kecleon. Then he leaves and doesn't come back except to tell you to head to Sootopolis after Kyogre/Groudon is awoken. In fairness though, he does have the Magma subplot in Mossdeep, but that was another afterthought that had little relevance to the overall plot. Cynthia has a similar problem, but at least with her, they actually bother to mask her plot device-ness with some conversational dialogue.
Not really about like my careers, but how I kind of got into this whole "make money, get successful thing" when I'm 12 while every other kid my age is going out, not giving a damn in school, and just relaxing. But here it is.
You see, every since I was about 9 or 10 something kind of awoke in me. That thing was a feeling. It made me yearn to be successful, to be rich, to have the world know my name. My parents always told me of their rough upbringings in India, they were born and raised there, but lived in a ghetto, not having many of the liberties and options we have today. It always made me feel inspired, that my parents could overcome the ghetto and reach into a life of success instead of being poor again. Not the success I want to achieve, but success from their perspective. They'd always tell me, "We started from 0% and achieved 100%. Your starting at 100% now. It's your job to reach 200%" Ever since, it's been my dream to be rich. That's all I think about. About like a quarter of my thoughts throughout the day are about that. Like what I would do when I'm rich, how my life would be, dealing with the media, raising my kids, my company I'm going to found, try to rule the visual media business, etc. Arrogant it may seem, I know, but I'm up for the challenge. I try my best in school. I'm an honors student and always get good grades, and am learning programming languages now. I look into video games like everyday, always up to date with news. Acting, I watch a lot of movies, different genres. Comedy, I watch a number of comedians, and don't copy them directly and make my own jokes. Entreprenuering will be really interesting too. Basically, I know the goals I have set for myself, and am prepared to do whatever it takes to fulfill them. That's why I'm starting now.
No I live in the US. But my parents emigrated here before they had me and my brother. I'm an American citizen.
