>Barry with chimchar and Lucas with turtwig>manga personalitysiding with the very thing that made GF chickened from acknowledging their mistake for not putting Leaf in R/G/B is not really an option when the nintendo pokemon pins got it wrong in a different manner when they broke the game trope where the rival is always stronger than the MC (which originally speaking, male MC), so even though DeNA prioritizes female MC alot in their roster, they still deserve a point for this one for merely being associated with the previous two's mistakes. Lucas doesn't wear any wetsuit anyway so there's that.
