>>44463649I would argue Gordie is better. He actually has stuff going for him other than "Ice Gym Leader of ice town ara ara mommy trope". If anything, Melony is only a supporting character to Gordie and his goals as a Trainer. But yeah, Allister and Avery are more interesting than Bea and Klara. Gamefreak is bad at writing, but they're even worse at writing women.
