>>38188143Tierno's fine as a character, I feel there's a lack of depth to his personality given that his concept of a dancing Pokemon team is very surface level and doesn't really have anything to do with the primary plot of, what is beauty. I think however out of the three OP outlined he has the strongest case for existing and even his design somewhat acts as a foil to what beauty is, there's very little flow between his hair, shirt and pants and the disconnect between the Vanillite on his shirt and the lack of a Vanilluxe on his team should be noted.
The main issue I have with Tabitha is that his character design in the original games worked fine, he looks much like what you'd expect from a stereotypical underling, a grimaced face and a sort of superiority about his posture while still being dressed in grunt-like attire. I think they should've had him take on a bit of an older appearance than ORAS depicted.
>>38188725As for this one though, Sophocles is a pretty boring character, honestly I'd rather Molayne be the trial captain, Sophocles doesn't really have any personality behind him, he acts more as a dialogue dispenser for the Festival Plaza overall.
