>>58573172The comparison is surface level. That's why you're being laughed at.
Jacinthe and Lebanne are tied at the hip.
Jacinthe's got a shitton of screentime. 90% of Lebanne is about Jacinthe.
They're characters of relative import, relatively relevant to the main plot. You get to know them and their relationship sorta well.
And last but not least there's the muh toxic yuri aspect.
Dendra is a literally who who unless you go back to the school all the time (something most players didn't bother with) you'll barely see on-screen.
Tulip is just yet another gym leader with very limited screentime and relevancy whose fight does not make much of an impression.
Dendra and Tulip relationship is a one-off scene that's just pals messing around and one telling an embarrassing story about the other. Nothing out of there.
You're seriously blind or willfully dense if you cannot see why one is catching on, relatively speaking of course, and the other is two literally whos on the corner that you have to go out your way to touch.
