>Hau was the generic faggot ""rival"",He had an actual arc. That alone makes him less generic than shit like Barry or Brendan/May.
>Lusamine's personality shifts doesn't come close to resembling a humanThere are plenty of humans who neglect their children and being obsessed about things, anon.
>Gladion was a pushover and I can't even remember his relevance in the storyYes, I can tell you don't remember a lot of things about the story.
>>44402957>get handed kanto startersSo being handed Unova starters instead would be less lazy?
>snorlax blocking the road againSo putting Sudowoodo blocking the path or a generic roadblocking NPC would be less lazy?
>get handed a laprasSo getting handed a Gastrodon instead would be less lazy?
>first forest has the exact same layout as Viridian forestSo having a slightly different simple linear forest layout would be less lazy?
>>Mewtwo is in a post-game cave againSo putting Giratina in a post-game cave instead would be less lazy?
