Diantha/Quotes

These are Diantha's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon X and Y

Café Soleil (first visit)

"What a strange question... Why would I want to play the same old roles forever? Youth may be beautiful, but it's not all there is to life. Everything changes. I want to live and change like that, too. So I look forward to playing different roles as I get older."

"And who are you two?"

"<player>, right? I heard Lysandre call you that. You both have lovely names. Oh, and you're both Trainers! Don't your Pokémon look happy? I'm a Trainer myself, in my off time. I look forward to us battling someday!"

Coumarine City

"A strong bond?"

"Does this make you think of something like Kalos's Legendary Pokémon? Found only here in the Kalos region, right? Nowhere else? Maybe that's not a coincidence."

"Bonds... They really are important to us all, aren't they? When I'm acting, I think I'm always trying to forge a bond between myself and the character I'm playing. If all I think about is how I'm nothing like a character, then I'll just hate playing it. But if I focus on what I have in common with the character and put myself in her shoes, I might be able to understand her. It's the same for people--or Pokémon."

"Oh, never mind me! I'm just babbling about my own things. Let's have a battle the next we meet, shall we? I'm still looking forward to it!"

Pokémon League

• Before battle (first time)

"Welcome at last, dear Trainer. As you must know, I am the Champion, Diantha. Oh, but you are... You're the child I spoke to in Lumiose City and Coumarine City, aren't you?! Then that means that you are also the one that dear Augustine said... Of course! How could I--?! Oh, I must look like such a fool not to recognize you sooner! You and your Pokémon are the ones who stopped Team Flare for us all! It seems wrong of me to say this, but thank you! You saved us all... I can't wait to see what you and your Pokémon are capable now that I know exactly what it is you've done already!"

• Before battle (rematch)

"Oh, welcome back! I've been hoping that you would visit again! Battling against you and your Pokémon, all of you brimming with hope for the future... Honestly, it just fills me up with energy I need to keep facing each new day! It does!"

• Being defeated

"Witnessing the noble spirits of you and your Pokémon in battle has really touched my heart..."

• After being defeated (first time)

"I-I'm so choked up that it's hard to know what I should say, but I...I... I'm just so glad at this moment that I was good enough to be the Champion... After all, it gave me the chance to meet and battle with you and your wonderful Pokémon! Now I understand just why dear Augustine--that's Professor Sycamore to you--said he had to get everything ready for the new Champion! He'll be waiting for us in Lumiose City, but before I take you there... My dear <player>, would you mind coming this way with me?"

• After being defeated (rematch)

"That positive hope for the future and the warm feelings that fill your heart... Those things can never be exhausted. They will never run out. Not ever. If you just find a way to share them with others, I know you'll have a happy life. Come along, my dear <player>... You know where we're going next."

• Hall of Fame (first time)

"Here we are! I'm so glad to welcome you in. This grand chamber is where you enter the Kalos region's Hall of Fame. This is where Pokémon Trainers will live on forever, remembered always for giving their all in battle to the Pokémon League and for the glory and light that they shared with all. Come, <player>… Your love for your Pokémon… And the way that those Pokémon gave everything they had in battle for you… We'll record them all right here for eternity."

• Hall of Fame (rematch)

"We will record your experience and the glory that you've shown in facing the Pokémon League here in this grand hall! This will be your--and your Pokémon's--legacy! Come, <player>… Your love for your Pokémon… And the way that those Pokémon gave everything they had in battle for you… We'll record them all right here for eternity."

Café Soleil (post-game)

• Before the trade

"Oh, why hello there! That's right... This is where I first met you, isn't it? <player>? You know, I'd really like to learn more about how a strong Trainer like you raises his/her Pokémon. This probably feels a bit sudden, but how would you feel about trading one your Pokémon for my Ralts here?"

No: "No, of course I understand... I'm sure all of your Pokémon are like precious friends to you, right? You can't just give away a friend to someone else that easily!"

Yes: (after selecting the Pokémon to trade) "Heheh. We Trainers all feel a bit nervous when trading Pokémon... but I'm sure it's nothing compared to how the Pokémon must feel!"

• After the trade

"Hello, <Pokémon>. I'm glad to meet you. Was it a bit shocking to be traded? I hope you'll come to trust and like me. I promise that I'll take good care of you."

Battle Chateau

• Before battle

"Oh my! I never thought I would meet you here! Honestly, I didn't! Oh, but--silly me--I should at least do these things right… As Champion and as Grand Duchess of the Battle Chateau, I, Diantha, challenge you."

• Being defeated

"Witnessing the noble spirits of you and your Pokémon in battle has really touched my heart..."

• After being defeated

(if giving the player an item) "Hehe, here you go! I hope you like it!"

"I just...I just don't know what to say... I can hardly express this feeling... But I'm so glad I got to be Champion and Grand Duchess... Battling you and your Pokémon makes everything seem worth it!"

• After defeating the player

"Oh, fantastic! What did you think? My team was pretty cool, right? It's a bit embarrassing to show off, but I love to show their best sides!"

"Often, they’ll say that watching me act gave them courage or cheered them up!"

"But I also get a lot of energy from my fans when I meet them!"

• Random conversation

"People change every day, and no moment is exactly the same as another."

"Even if I play the same character, I always act a little different from how I did the day before!"

"I hope people enjoy seeing that transformation! It surely makes it more engaging!"

• Random conversation

"As I continue my work as an actress, one thing that I find important is challenging myself to try new things."

"I plan to continue challenging myself to play the kinds of characters I’ve never acted before!"

"Every time I act as a different character, I feel I encounter a new me!"

"My job as an actress is to constantly search for my own untapped potential."

• Random conversation

"I once traded my Pokémon to a Trainer who challenged me for my Champion title."

"Of course, it was a little bittersweet, but I said good-bye to my Pokémon and wished it the best."

"At the same time, its new family welcomed it with open arms, which was so heartwarming."

"The Pokémon I traded is back in Kalos, but it’s still so very special to me!"

• Random conversation

"Even if you’re facing something difficult, you’re always able to have a positive outlook!"

"I think that’s one of the things about you that truly makes you shine, <player>!"

"I’m sure the people around you have noticed that positive attitude of yours."

"I also feel happy when I’m next to you!"

• Random conversation

"I have an identity as an actress—and also as a Champion."

"For both of these identities, I’m vigilant of the fact that I’m seen by many people."

"I do this so I can live up to the expectations of the people cheering me on!"

"I try to portray myself as noble, passionate, and shining bright...and of course, I try to show that I truly enjoy both acting and battling."

"They’re what I view as my life’s work."

• If spoken to again

"Being in the spotlight and having things expected of me may sometimes feel like a burden."

"But I always try to turn those expectations into energy to make my heart and soul shine brightly!"

• Random conversation

"I always strive to stay positive, but sometimes I do experience disappointment."

"I do two things to make myself feel better:"

"First, I remember the faces of all my fans."

"Second, I interact with my Pokémon!"

"That usually helps me regain my positivity, as it reminds me that I’m not alone."

• If spoken to again

"When you’re feeling down, try to think of who is around you."

"If you do that, there will always be people willing to give your their support and cheer you on!"
