>LanceShows up like twice involving team rocket and one of those times he was late to the party
>StevenMostly a loredump. I admit my memories of hoenn are a bit fuzzy so maybe I forgot something substantial.
>CynthiaShows up a lot, sure. It's always just bits of story, lore, and being your yesman of sorts. She's not actively taking on the problems compared to how Leon does it.
Again, not saying Leon did it well or was much of a character, nor that the events were handled well, but he was directly involved a ton and solved a lot of things not getting the player involved.
