>>35940735Due to the face that the plot got shoved in the players face for most of SM/USUM, and because of her frequent presence alongside you without her being a trainer herself, there were quite a few people who found her to be annoying.
However, others like her because she grew out of the willingly annoying damsel trope as the game went on to the point where she could stand on her own two feet quite easily (though USUM pushed both her plot and her character development to the side).
