>>48896038>>48896084desu I think they just use the girl as MC if she has a prominent NPC role as well
Kris/Leaf/Selene/Gloria don't appear if you play as the male MC, so they're out (although Kris appeared in the Raikou special)
May/Dawn/Serena appear throughout the game as your rival/friend if play as the male MC, so they're in
Lyra is kinda like Dawn, but a bit less relevant, so she only appeared briefly in the show
Hilda/Rosa only appear in the Battle Subway, so they're not relevant enough to appear
