>>19476005Yeah - they already changed Sycamore and Diantha's (the game implied that they were pretty good friends, but their interaction in her episode indicated that they might not have known each other that well), so I have no idea where they'll go with this.
>>19476013True, but that doesn't mean that they're devoid of meaning for adults. The best kind of media can be enjoyed by people at many levels, and there's plenty in Pokemon to appeal to adults. And that includes a more nuanced interpretation to Sycamore and Lysandre's relationship other than just, "Lysandre is bad and Sycamore is pretty!".
