>>30900279Wait, I'm confused. In what world are any of the female dex holders damsels in distress? Blue is the first female dex holder and she literally escaped from a kidnapper and lived on the streets at 8 years old, beat one of the strongest gym leaders in Kanto despite never actually defeating any of the leaders before her, and spent a large chunk of her time in the GSC arc either getting her own shit done behind the scenes, trying to shield Silver from harm or working on overcoming her phobia. All on her own. Not to mention that without her, Yellow existing in this series wouldn't have happened.
A lot of people mis-interpret Yellow as a damsel in distress who only cares about Red, but she went undercover to SAVE RED, who was more of a damsel in distress during the Yellow arc than any of the female dex holders have ever been. All of the female dex holders have been shown to kick ass, do things on their own, save other people, succeed, and get themselves out of bad situations. The only exception at the moment is Whi-two, and that's because her story's hardly begun.
