Cynthia appears in Gen 4 Anime, Gen 5 Anime and Gen 8 Anime so I'd hardly call her a video game character. She even battles Ash in the World Semi's that imo she should have won, but maybe that's my bias for the undisputed Queen of Pokémon.

Wow

Cynthia also deserve more screen time as a major character. nice choice for your fave character. Cynthia's tend to be the real role model for female fans. Kind, Caring, strong, brave, but also relatable especially when it comes to ice cream.

Yes, that much. In Sinnoh, Paul(Ash's rival) battles Cynthia in Episode 40(her first appearance) and was involved in the arc involving Team Galactic. She returns in Gen 5 after Ash has earned all 8 Badges and takes them to Undella Town, aka the Town anyone who's played Gen 5 knows not to enter a certain house 🤣 whereupon she oversees them train for the World Tournament Junior Cup. She gives Alder the cold shoulder(deservingly may I add) and battles Caitlin and her Gothitelle in an exhibition match. As for Gen 8, she returns for the World Championship where she battles Iris in Quarters and then Ash in the Semi's.
