That's not even the best use of that in the series.
Red's ultimately just a boss in a corner, Cynthia is posed as a literal flashbang for the player in B/W as they're exploring Eastern Unova and getting used to the new level curve.
If you had no context of Gen IV? You think she's just some postgame boss and proceed to get your shit slapped.
If you have context of Gen IV? You expect her to have hands but not Lv. 78 hands at a point where your party is in the mid-60's at highest.
And if you say "maybe I'll go grind up at the Elite 4 like usual" you get to see the rematches and the boosted teams/levels.
It's such good design. Red was an endcap, Cynthia was there to tell you how much more there was to do.
