>>55012395Whitney is a crybaby. She doesn't deny that she lost or anything, she's just upset and whines like a baby. Clair, specifically, refuses to accept your skill as a trainer, and thinks there must be some kind of mistake. She doesn't go quite so far as to call you a cheater but it's close. Basically Clair is a sore loser who assigns you a challenge she thinks you'll fail, while Whitney just sits there crying. That's the difference. One is a challenge to the player and the other is a baby.
>As for Jasmine, i simply don't understand why she is much more popular than rest of Johto girls.She's the most sympathetic, being one of a handful of characters who's introduced to the player as needing help. Being sympathetic counts for a lot. Whitney, Clair, Karen, the Kanto girls, the friggin kimono girls... none of them have anything sympathetic going for them, at best they're just polite and professional. Also it helps that Sugimori clearly had, let's say, a certain archetype in mind when design Jasmine. She looks like some kind of platonic ideal of a pure, virginal, vulnerable, waifish little girl. I think the term is "daughterfu" and that doesn't really apply to the others, at least in terms of visuals.
