she is also the most fleshed out poke-girl in the entire franchise
if you take the anime into account, you can follow her since she was a kid befriending a drillbur, developing insecurity then taking on a journey on the region to recover it back until she finally becomes competent enough to mantain her region's gym.
by the end of the anime, you can consider the B/W games start and she becomes an actual gym leader, then years pass until B/W2 where she finally becomes the champion of her region.
