>>41491410Paul isn't a main character, he's supposed to be a rival, rivals are supposed to be kinda bitches toward each other, that's why people crave to go back to the days of rivals like Blue and Silver. Koharu isn't a rival, she's a main character who's presumably going to be helping Satoshi and Go and going on adventures with them at times, it's a bit weird for her to be best friends with one main character and dislike another one of them is all I'm saying. Though I'm sure she'll warm up to him by the next episode. It's just a smidge weird for her to be just "kinda bitchy", especially for Pokemon in which, yeah, people usually do just like Satoshi because he's a nice guy and there's not much not to like about him. Yeah I know there used to be the days where we had Kasumi and Haruka who didn't like him all that much in the early episodes, but they actually had reason not to like him because of the bike zapping. In a weird way, it's like Koharu zapped Satoshi's bike and yet *she* is the one that doesn't like him. I dunno, it's weird. And you're right, it probably is cause XY and SM have set me up to think that characters are just supposed to like Satoshi. But I dunno.
Now in pic related you can see my points regarding her character design. I'd like to see you guys discuss this.
