>>31197341>She does, though.What real flaws? That she gets lost all the time? Just there to make her look cute and has no impact on the story. That she's helpless and depends on you? Just there to make her look cute and endearing, you solve all her problems anyway, and even if she did train Pokemon she'd still probably be a damsel in distress anyway because she's going up against experienced trainers.
>How, exactly, is that a bad thing? Presenting a character in a way people like her is the opposite of a bad thing.Because I think it's boring.
She has no elements that would make her butt heads with anyone but her mom. She gets along with everyone, and everyone loves her. She has very little chemistry with others because everyone else is rounded out, and she only exists to be as inoffensive and safe as possible.
>What else does she do for the entire game?She only does four things in the game on a regular basis: lose Nebby, compliment and heal you, talk about clothes she did/didn't buy, and try to follow Nebby to ruins because they couldn't think of anything to do with her until her mommy issues were relevant.
>Which, considering her background, is exactly what she was supposed to do. Lusamine isn't really the sort to allow that. Her whole character arc is about gaining more confidence in herself and getting the control of her life back.Yep. She had great development and story.
But the problem with this story is that it makes her a generic a moe waifu who's dependent on you, makes no risks, doesn't challenge anyone, and seems more like a fantasy than an actual person. And when we actually start to see her break out of this, it's near the end of the game, and she leaves forever soon after.
And they could have still given her other traits despite her upbringing. She could have been more of a nervous wreck, or very distrusting of others, or have her kick into her development earlier and have her be an independent loner.
