>>40121317>What was her deal anyways?Her only purpose in life is to be a brief tutorial for an online feature that no longer functions, and then stop mattering completely. To railroad players into this tutorial, an event was added which forces players to obtain and use a field move (the one and only time a field move is required for progression in B/W), and which also removes the moral ambiguity from Team Plasma, reducing their role in the story to puppy-kicking villains.
Her stated objective was "enable sharing save files with other players". I'd say the anime rewrote her, but she basically didn't exist as a character in the actual games in the first place. Even describing her as "two-dimensional" there would be undue praise.
