It would've been very easy to just fuse the "I want to go to spess and fuse with the hentai squid"-thing from the original games with the "oh shiet, we need to get that necrozma tho!"-story without breaking her character.
But they still did it, so I assume the writing team regret making her psychotically evil. Which is a shame.
I am also confused about how many cuts they made to Lillie. In Ultra, Lillie no longer has a romantic cave-scene with you and she doesn't get her dramatic leave to Kanto at the end either.
Why is this strange? Because the anime and merc departments shill Lillie pretty hard. Taking away her two big moments for a bit of throwaway stuff seems... counterproductive?
