Most characters from gen 7 are anything but generic. You talk to most of them several times during the course of the game. They actually feel like they live and interact with their world. If anything the older characters are the ones that are generic aside from maybe their design. But that's more of a consequence of when their game was released. Gen 1 especially suffers from this since you can't even rematch opponents like gym leaders. The anime hard carried Brock and Misty and are still doing so to this day. Not to mention Brock's personality is also completely different from his game counterpart. They even made a joke about it.
