>>51801414Because it would be better to have a girl that is experienced and more emotionally mature than Ash without being a hypocrite mary sue like Iris. All the other girl except Misty were newbie that require Ash to be their mentor figure.
Honestly I can see her as a Tsun character like Rikka (SSSS Gridman), Hori (Horimiya), Neko (Gegege No Kitaru) and Chizuru (Rent-A-Girlfriend). They all share similar archetype but their circumstances are different. I can even see Marnie scolding the main characters for their immaturity just like she does with Team Yell.
