>>38135298Nigga I'm playing it right now and it's nothing like what you're saying.
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Calem_(game)#Quoteshttps://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Serena_(game)#QuotesThey do mention that their parents are great trainers, but they outright refuse to say that makes them any better:
>"You can talk about my parents if you want, but it doesn't have anything to do with me. I'm going to catch one now, so watch carefully!"The most they ever talk about themselves is their insistence on trying to find a way to stand out, but not in an asshole way, they just want to be special:
>"I think being different from others is a part of what makes me special. Mastering Mega Evolution will definitely set me apart from other Trainers!">"I will master Mega Evolution and set myself apart from other Trainers. I'll also do it for my Pokémon--we've come so far together, and they never stopped believing in me, their Trainer."And when they lose to you they're friendly and chill and accept the defeat even early on and they're super supportive:
>"It was so strong! I could feel how powerful the bond between you and your partner is. Losing is frustrating, but... You will definitely be able to Mega Evolve your Pokémon! I'm sure of it!"Like, I have NO idea where you're getting that headcanon from, but it's totally off. At most, they want to be the protagonist, but they're not at all dickish about their status or anything. They're just your friend from beginning to end.
The only thing I can think of is maybe you just remembered the last lines they had in the game and based your whole memory of them off of misinterpreting that:
>"When we first set off on our journey, I though it was really important how different I was from everyone else. But that doesn't really matter, does it? Of course I'm different from others. I'm the only me!"Calem/Serena did want to see themselves as different from everyone else, but not that they were superior.
