>>52525986Togepi during Orange Islands is often cited as the reason and catalyst she becomes a much nicer person. This is likely because she actually has something to love and care for that doesn't come with the barbs like her sisters. Her growth as a character is very slow and gradual.
>>52526494Thats partly because her OS version has a lot of rough edges. With the afformentioned temper and lashing out, she is honestly the most different of the traveling companion girls who all seem far nicer in comparison. Also in her JP version, she was intentionally written and given a lot of verbal mannerisms that reflected she was disrespectful and didn't like authority figures, which somewhat exists in the dubbed version through her anger but its not the same effect.
>>52527022Ash isn't really spoiled, that is more a Gary thing, but he does acts like an annoying younger brother at times.
Also yeah, Tracey is a pleasant sort. Hes very easy to get along with and doesn't cause much problems. Also based on later episodes, he and Misty are still good friends based on the azuril he gave her.
