>>32804023I mean seriously, if anything there's more of an implied romance between her and Hau given that she tells him about leaving for Kanto first and they stay in touch with each other after the story. She just says goodbye to the MC and maybe they'll see each other again.
The problem with romances in Pokemon games that can potentially have sequels is that they can't involve the MCs. It just wouldn't work right, especially now that the MCs are customizable. I remember back in B/W, people thought there may have been something between Hilbert and Bianca because of some dialogue her father says, but clearly this isn't the case by the time BW2 rolls around. She's hanging around with Cheren instead. They couldn't bring Hilbert back because it would be weird for Hilda players.
They're just friends.
