How do you manage to make a group of characters as unlikable as these fuckers?

I don’t really dislike them, I just think they’re bland. At least Shauna has porn.

Have them star in a game that is too short to flesh them out and is in a series where the idea of branching storylines is still a strange and bizarre idea, then be forced to make them exaggerated cardboard cutouts just so they have SOME trait that makes them all stand out from others in the group

Step one, have them be unimportant.
Step two, give them a quirk, but don't have them be good at that quirk.
Step three, shove them at random times where it is totally unneeded.
Step four, have them suck the MC's dick over everything.
Step five, make their teams shit.
Step six, have the story act like they helped when they did jackshit.

I think I covered all the bases

And then, when people complained about how much of a group of non-characters your friends were, they stole the emphasis of it being YOUR adventure away from you and made you into Lillie's Battle Bitch for all of Gen 7, because middle ground doesn't exist anymore apparently.

After 20 years of being the center of the universe, being the MC's bodyguard was a nice change of pace.

Shaunas fine, it’s the other two who are the problem, there’s no point to them, they’re not really rivals in any way, they don’t use starters or even go through any development.

serena/calem were actually fairly interesting. i felt bad for beating them since they clearly tried so hard at being a good trainer and got shot down by you at every opportunity, it could've been pretty interesting if they fleshed it out a bit more

Tierno needed something like anime contest-battles, where his shitty dance moves actually mattered. The mechanic of showing him dances for heartscales is decent, no issue here.

Trevor shouldn't fight you at all and instead compete with you over the Pokedex. It's actually kind of shitty that you beat his number everytime even if you don't catch a single pokemon all game. He should have a number that can be beat and there should've been a reward for beating him at the pokedex game.

Shauna is fine as she is for se... I mean, "fluffy" moments. But if you want something for her to do, make it friendship. Like, if you have a pokemon with maxed out friendship before she does and/or if you have more max-friend pokes than her, you get stuff.

The role of the actual rival is filled by the gender you didn't pick.

It's possible to lose to Trevor, actually. It's just really difficult because his numbers are set laughably low. Nothing happens if you lose, either, so... Yeah. Pointless.

It's not so much disliking the characters (with the possible exception of Tierno) as it is disliking how they were written and how took roles among the four of them that were easily covered by two characters back in Gen V.

Could not agree more. They try way too hard to push this but it falls so flat.

Serena/Calem are supposed to have Ace Trainer parents yet in their Victory Road battles half their team only have 3 moves at lvl 60. They're awful trainers, even by in-game rival standards, and are clearly older than the rest of their group of friends but act like stroppy little bitches.

I prefer Hau to Serena/Calem. It's fine for his team to be shit because he doesn't claim to be anything else and he doesn't have a tantrum each time he loses.

You can chat shit only when you become the shit.

So fuck you Calem/Serena, you should be setting a better example for you friends with Asperger's.

This. They don't really get fleshed out over the course of the game except maybe Shauna (and I'm being generous). You feel bad for beating your rival, Tierno literally only has the dancing thing (I don't think you even learn which town is his hometown unlike Shauna and Trevor) and the most interesting you learn about Trevor you find out in a random house in the largest city in the Pokemon series (during the post-game, if I recall, long after it would have matter) and they still manage to do nothing with it.

That was awful. The game pretended she did something useful, but the truth is that the device did all the work, so anyone could have fulfilled her role.
Also that locked door was a bad design choice to begin with, since they could have just put an extra battle with an Admin or a proper puzzle to unlock it
