>>56753365Because they intentionally sabotaged her by making her team weaker than those of regular trainers, down to the IVs themselves. They were also trying to force the meme of “endgame boss uses both fossils” which didn’t even make sense when N did it, because only Steven was a mineral otaku.
>>56753408>No screentime in the game, just one measly appearance where she does nothing, therefore thought as useless since all the Flare stuff is going on and she does absolutely nothing.This is unironically the same amount of relevance Cynthia had in vanilla DP, so this point is more a strike against Kalos in general for never having an updated version to add to the story.
>Anime made her job to the frog which further cemented people's impression of her being weak.This didn’t happen, though. Ash fought her as a training session to get Greninja to control itself, and it used up all of its power to knock Gardevoir over for two seconds, destroying a single shadow ball that had been spammed through the training session.
>Questionable details in her design such as the weird wings and Lisa Simpsons hair.It’s really the hair, honestly. Not sure what they were thinking making it a bunch of spikes, instead of something more elegant; BW2 Iris was basically dressed like a goddess and princess at once but her shape language was much stronger.
