Argenta/Quotes

These are Argenta's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver

Initial battle
  • Before battle
"My Battle Hall allows Trainers to mount challenges with their one favorite Pokémon. I imagine there were tense moments getting here with your chosen one. But understand that one shines the brightest when a challenge is overcome. I am Argenta, and I am your final and most daunting challenge. I dare you to overcome my challenge."
  • Being defeated
"Oh...I detest how fun times seem to end so quickly."
  • After being defeated
"A good Trainer doesn't force their favorite on anyone. A good one keeps with their favorite without drama or fanfare. That is how I see it, at least. And, by the way I see it, you're an excellent Trainer! Be sure to visit the Battle Hall again with a favorite Pokémon. Until then, bye-bye!"
Rematch
  • Before battle
"Well! My goodness, your Pokémon... It's got star power beyond belief. Even from inside its Poké Ball, I can feel its charismatic brilliance. But I'm the Hall Matron. I'll be the judge of that. I must battle it for myself and see if that brilliance is genuine. That is why we must battle now."
  • Being defeated
"It's so sad how the truly fun times seem to last only a moment."
  • After being defeated
"You must never forget there is a place where everyone can shine. That goes for any kind of Pokémon, too. Spread that message in your own words. It's one everyone should hear. And now, having lost, this lady has nothing left to say at all, but... Bye-bye!"

Story Event - Tower Tycoon and Hall Matron
  • Barry's Determination
  • Off-screen, as "???"
"You're very stubborn, just like someone I know."
  • After appearing, as Argenta
"If you behave like that, Palmer will just worry about you."
  • When You Shine
"Indeed—I'm Argenta, the Hall Matron. Nice to meet you all."
Nice to meet you, too!: "*chuckle* Thank you! You're sure full of energy!"
A Frontier Brain?!: "Are you trembling with excitement? You must be confident in your skills."
"*chuckle* Likewise!"
"Palmer was acting weird, so I wanted to help him out a little."
"I came to check on you because I thought something must've happened between you two."
"So Barry...do you really have that little confidence in your strength?"
"Why compare yourself to him?"
"Your strength and shine are yours alone."
"Even Frontier Brains have different strengths."
"A Trainer who can bring out the power of any Pokémon..."
"A Trainer who good fortune follows."
"A Trainer who's committed to his master..."
"There's a place where everyone can shine. That goes for any and every kind of Pokémon, too."
"And I think the Battle Frontier is proof of that."
"Palmer is one of the strongest Frontier Brains."
"It's true he can be strict."
"But he doesn't look down on the other Frontier Brains."
"Which means we can continue to praise each other and raise each other's potential."
"Given that you're his son, you of all people should understand Palmer best, wouldn't you say?"
"Exactly."
"Which is why you should show him your OWN strength—unique to you, right now!"
"It seems he's figured things out."
"I've already involved myself, so we might as well see how it goes."
  • The Strongest Brain's Back
"It seems it's all settled."
"Oh, it was nothing."
"Indeed."
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Argenta
"Impressive, <player>..."
"I can see your brilliance as a sync pair is genuine."
"Your relationship is wonderful. You have each other's back."
"Your feelings and love for Pokémon are beyond belief, <player>."
"If you don't mind, could you tell this lady why you chose this Pokémon as your partner?"
Because I like it.: "I see... You stuck with your favorite Pokémon and honed your skills."
I felt a spark when we met.: "Excellent! Such instincts shouldn't be taken lightly."
"I can see you genuinely care about your partner Pokémon."
"There's a place for any and every kind of Pokémon to shine, but..."
"I can see your partner shines most next to you."
"<player>, a Trainer strong enough to defeat me..."
"And your capable partner Pokémon... Such a wonderful combination, isn't it?"
"I bet you and your partner are happy to have met."
"But just because a sync pair's good doesn't mean it'll win."
"A Pokémon's strength will change depending on the circumstances."
"It's not uncommon to be caught off guard by an opponent you think is below you."
"In a way, the sync pair system on Pasio is similar to the Battle Hall..."
"in which you choose your favorite Pokémon and compete in battle."
"A cornered Pokémon displaying unbelievable strength to make a comeback and win..."
"I've seen it many times, doubting my own eyes each time."
I'll be careful!: "You're truly earnest, aren't you. That's what's nice about you!"
I won't drop my guard against anyone!: "And don't you forget it. You never know what'll happen in a Pokémon battle."
"And now, having rambled for so long, this lady has nothing left to say at all!"
"After all, on Pasio, I'm just one of many challengers."
"Together with my perfect partner Pokémon, Skarmory, whom I chose..."
"I'll prove there's a place for every Pokémon to shine."
"Seeing Skarmory defeat legendary Trainers and Pokémon over and over..."
"It's going to be the most elegant sight of all!"
