>>44412277>ALL previous champions were good people and "kind, caring, encouraging"Blue isn't, he wants to be better than you.
Lance isn't, he's a very generic trainer.
Yeah, Steven actually is, and Wallace so-so.
Cynthia is nice but isn't really a helpful or caring person.
Alder is encouraging but hardly appears.
Iris is just nice and that's it.
Diantha is a literally who.
Kukui is a very kind and involved person, so yeah.
So no, not "every champion is like that". Leon is the first time we've had a champion who's actually so involved, proactive, and who genuinely encourages you no matter what while still giving it his all (at least in lore, because his fight being easy or not is something pertaining to the gameplay, not his character).
