>>55791602>This story is about opening up to (You) and dealing with his problems and emotions in a healthier wayExcept it's not, because that's just dumped on you at the end. Exposition is not a personality.
See Kieran for a good example of actually having a personality and arc:
Dude's a bitch, you get to see how he idolize power, and how angry he gets when you take his obsession. The only exposition is the stupid bullshit about ogerpon's backstory.
Then comes the indigo disk and we see how he changed, he's a fucking asshole still obsessed with strength. You aren't told this, it's shown to you.
Then getting his ass whooped again makes him break down and be somehow less of a bitch.
It's not deep, but it's an actual character arc. Not "actually my dog was sick and my mom(because you bought scarlet, awooga professor and all don't you lie to me) is gone I'm so sad but I'm better now".
