>>30864877Dawn wasn't the last good pokegirl, she was literally the only tolerable one.
Misty was just the girl character staple common in japanese anime in the nineties at the time.
May was incredibly bland and more like a prototype Dawn.
Iris was second attempt at the girl character from Misty, but turned out more annoying and shallow.
Serena is the moe blob trash otakus eat up. The worst of them all.
And Lillie, Mallow, and Lana are literally my mom's harem cast.
Dawn meanwhile was like the secondary protagonist and goes through more personal growth than Ash. The first and only pokegirl to have a more interesting development than Ash.
