>>15451092I'm not saying she isn't; it's just that the previous champions have been:
*Your asshole rival who's been one step ahead of you throughout the whole game
*A dragon master who helped you beat the shit out of Team Rocket
*Your former self from the last game
*The heir to the company that produces most of the technology in the region who helped you beat the shit out of Team Magma/Aqua
*A fuckable blonde who helped you beat the shit out of Team Galactic and shows up in subsequent games to seduce shotas
*A retired badass who you don't even get to fight at first because N beat you to him
*A chocolate loli dragon master and former Gym Leader who helped your former self from the previous game beat the shit out of Team Plasma
Compared to all of those, what do we get? An actress who has one scene together with the boss of Team Flare, and makes no attempt to help you beat the shit out of him.
