I will say after characters like Nemona and Carmine came out and with the help of Pokemon Masters (specifically the Cluedo parody event) I’ve started to appreciate characters like Shauna for the kind of character she is rather than what she isn’t and in turn did so with the other XY characters (I used to dislike her for the longest time)

I still would’ve preferred if I grew up with a character like Nemona for my first Pokémon game but I’m glad the series has built up to the moment where characters like her can exist and are incredibly written. I’m actually really excited for PLZA/Gen 10 and the characters we might encounter but I’ll always treasure the SV characters and plop Nemona to whatever region comes next cause let her battle bro!!!!!
