>>56436326may is such a terrible character and i legitimately dont know what they were thinking writing her entire arc
doesnt have any goals whatsoever when she starts out, unlike dawn, who wants to grow up to be a top coordinator like her mom
picks a random starter with whom she doesnt develop any bond before choosing, unlike dawn
decides to become a coordinator after watching a showcase by beautifly, decides to catch a wurmple and raise it into a beautifly so that she can shamelessly copy someone else instead of having her own idea of a coordinator and developing her own style
even then, she drops that thing off at her parents, the very pokemon that inspired her to follow a path, when she leaves for kanto
her starter is nearly ignored, so much that it evolves the very last couple episodes of the ruby-sapphire anime, only then showcasing its former signature move
her content combinations are lame and simple, it really is a surprise how she got to the grand festival twice (and ended up losing both anyways)
and finally
gets jobbed to a coordinator who only won a single ribbon and had a losing streak despite having more experience
