And I'd say no to the whole Kanto starter thing. Unless she's your rival in a Kanto sequel, there's no reason for her to have a Kanto starter. That would be like forcing a starter on Wally or all of your Kalos "friends". Only the rivals and player characters get starters.
>>31769881None of the Kanto starters are found in Alola, except that one Charizard owned by Kiawe, so I don't see how it would remind her of Alola. If it's the flower, flowers exist literally everywhere. An Exeggutor would fit that role better. It's pretty much the mascot of Alola.
