It was giving her a half-baked storyline about Eevee that made everyone hate her, along with obliterating her snarkiness in favor of making her a wide-eyed delicate flower like our previous two female leads.
Not every fucking character needs 'development' or an 'arc'. Two of the most beloved characters, Brock and James have hardly changed since their debut. Brock's goal shifted abruptly during DP, but he's the same dude more or less. Hell, Ash hasn't had any impactful moments of development since DP, yet 95% of the retards ITT will go full-on gorilla for him at the drop of a hat, arguing about which girl he needs to be with and why he needs more respect. Koharu never needed to 'develop', her acidic reactions to Ash & Goh's sparkly, spastic energy were not only funny, but in my opinion a necessary element to balance this particular series. What a mess.
