>>50881798>sanest member of the guild whereas everyone is either a total airhead or a walking catchphraseDebatable. His sheer amount of characterization stems from the fact that he is interacted with the most out of anyone in the story which consequently gives him the most lines. Personally, I argue that Sunflora has him beat because of Chapter 17, Today's Oh My Gosh!, and the OVA. I do wish that the other characters got more moments though.
And everyone in the game, including Chatot, has a catchphrase or dialect; his is just "squawk".
>accompanies you into a dungeon and can hold his ownOf all the story companions, yes, I agree that he is one of the strongest ones, which makes sense given that he's supposed to be escorting you.
>uses himself as a shield to protect you and your partnerAfter he had let his rage get the better of him and ditched the party earlier, and after he let his ego get the better of him to insist on Wigglytuff letting him go there for a rematch in the first place. Nonetheless, he did redeem himself here.
>consoles your depressed duo after Manaphy leaves, the only character to do soBecause he was the only one involved with the party and Manaphy. He knew about it better than anyone else, he watched over it twice, and he helped it return to the sea. What was anyone else supposed to say?
>As for the apple incident, who in middle management wouldn't get pissed off at new hires for screwing up something that'd get them into hot water with the higher ups?We already covered this. Why would middle management give something that they know that their job depends on to someone at the bottom of the pyramid? It's just asking to be fired.
Again, I never claimed that I hated Chatot, I just think that his scenes in Chapter 6 and 17 are notoriously bad, so I understand why people don't like him.
