>>32042375Is this even a question? Obviously the latter. May had far less screentime, and what little screentime she had, she wasted that on battles. Compared to that, SM was basically just "Boy meets girl" story, with the Sun's main goal in his journey being to protect Lillie, and most of Lillie's development being the because of Sun. This is why they didn't have Gyms and a proper league for most part this time. Even the Evil team was based around these two. This is why Chicken-chan doesn't appear as an NPC. Everything was designed to be about these two somehow.
To just drive this point home, and I'm not making this up, I have seen Nipponese girls complain that they felt "left out" playing SM. That there was no point in playing as a boy if "their" boy was being shipped off with another girl, and playing as a girl felt wrong because that central relationship felt half-assed and weak.
But who the fuck cares. Brendan/Courtney is better than Brendan/May, anyway. Even Calem/Serena had more development than Brendan/May.
