If we were talking strictly about elitism, I believe Solaris (at least his team) fits more appropriately to the idea of the personification of competitive Elitism, with him using basically an OU team and ignoring the "gimmicky" field effects that would be scoffed at by elitists.

Lin extends far beyond that, with her having access to powers that are practically cheating - something elitists would scoff at as well to maintain the purity of their status.

That and statistically Hydreigon is not even the best mon she could use. She's not doing the "raw power only" thing very well if she's still keeping it.

Maybe you should just stop putting words into other people's mouths when they're trying to make a decent argument for something.

I mean being serious Solaris is more picture perfect for the elitists image over Lin and that's not because of Pokemon. He wants to purge the world and rebuild it (in a sense play god over people) and had an ancestry protecting a rock which he was very religious. He always gave off that powerful or strong vibe meaning he was at least really good at what he did. Ironic his beliefs blinded him of his coming demise in E18.
