>>52404592>>52404613It was always my head canon that chicken has something mentally wrong with her. In SM her character model is ALWAYS smiling, even when other people are in pain, freaking out, scared whatever. Chicken is a psycho who is ok with being dragged along to whatever if it means she'll get something out of it, being pokemon, power or fame. A battling monster who's "Friends" are just people who talk at her and give her stuff. Chicken doesn't even acknowledge the world around her despite being such a huge part of it. That isn't new for any pokemon MC but SM fully acknowledges she's the champion and several different people rely on her
