>>52778165I felt that way until the postgame content. Seeing the variety of opinions the gym leaders have of her and her of them was a cool way to give her character building. Not to mention the novelty of a champion who has a ton of influence while not just being the friendly celeb who's widely adored. Her not having much direct screentime just adds to the ungraspable aura she has and leaves you to put the pieces together to make your own opinion on her..
I do think it hangs off whether or not she gets more content in the DLC though. Even if I think she's an appealing character as is it's true she doesn't do much.
