>>55905987There should be a distinction between "signature Pokemon" and "ace", like how the Paldean Gym Leaders have both a "partner Pokemon" and the Pokemon they Terastallize into their special type. Like Iono having Tera Electric Mismagius, but Bellibolt being the Pokemon she's most associated with.
For Carmine, Ninetales or Morpeko feel more fitting for her character than Sinistcha
