What went so wrong? She has too few artworks even for a Champion, and Pixiv is a joje when finding for one.

She's uncool.

No charisma.

Bland.

Unlike our goddess Cynthia.

Say Audrey Hepburn all ya want, but she does not give that strong of a vibe so it's easy to dissociate that.

Has effectively 0 role in the story.
Thus, has next-to-no character or personality.
Thus, nobody gets attached to her.
Thus, shit fanart pool.
Valerie, Olympia (for some deeper reasons), and... what's-her-face-Vilvillon-chick all suffer from this.

Looks like a guy. Even Lysandre looks more feminine than her.

Viola at least had a neat gym and it was nice to see Surskit. You're right about Diantha, there was never any reason to care about her at all which is exactly the wrong thing to do with a champion.

Only reasonable post here but I'm willing to argue that most Pokemon characters, no matter how many times they appear out of the blue or help the protag (ie a few sentences of wisdom or by giving them an item like our friend Cynthia or Alder), all have pretty bad writing.

Diantha got the worst of it because Gen 6 was boring and poorly written as a whole.

You're not wrong, but most of the time they at least give you a little snapshot of what kind of their character, it gives them a little personality. Diantha was incredibly flat and bland, and it wasn't helped that I think she must show up the least over the course of the game of any champ so far.

I like her design just fine, but even amongst XY's cast she was incredibly forgettable as a character (would it have killed them to show us a little bit of her movies or something?)

When will this meme end? She shows about the same time as Cynthia in DP ffs.

Diantha had a lot of potential. Wasn't she an actress or some other kind of celebrity? They should have given her more recurring appearances.

In between Shauna wanting hard cock and apocalyptic shit going down hard with Team Flare, the one time you meet her is a complete afterthought.

Then she was even more forgettable than Cynthia was in those appearances (and thats a pretty low bar thats been set)

She just doesn't do anything. She's fine as a character but she shows up what, twice? You can't expect to make a Champion in the same style as Cynthia but have her appear and do way less and expect her to be as well received.

If she had a reason to be involved or at least invested in the story it would have been fine.

Remember that one time you thought she was connected to team flare because 'muh beauty standards' and she just happens to be an actress?

Seeing as the game gave little to nothing to go on other than that she was an actress and we met her in an upscale bistro, I just want to know; was she supposed to be a classy chick? Because if she was, why was she walking around in shorts and fairy wings?

I think in the manga she at least fought with one of the elite four and tried to save them or something and in the anime she did a few things but yeah, Game Diantha was a shitty champion, at least Iris did shit back in black and white 1 and had a flashback to becoming champ in 2 and Alder fought and jobbed to N

She has no personality, almost don't appears in the game, don't help to stop team flare and is probably the weakest champion in the entire franchise.

By the time I'd reached her at the pokemon league, I had actually forgotten she'd shown up in the game prior to that point. Thought it was cool that GF went back to the older days of not foreshadowing/hying up the champ. Nope. Turns out they just made literally the least memorable one yet.
