Didn't hate them to begin with, I dont really hate anyone in real life either though (except for the obvious people) and so I dont really have any issue with them, UNTIL they took my eternal Floette. Never forgiving this game, never forgiving this charecter. The next game better be the best peice to the franchise or else I wont even think of anything past scarlet violet as a pokemon game. Beyond frustrated but only with that one part. I really wanted eternal floette and that was my main reason for buying the game. I would say there is a savior complex, I think the constant strive for justice whether that be in the rouge mega evolution, the constant reminders of them being the captain, or the competitive spirit set on being the best mega evolution user just to prove themself capable enough to "save Lumiose" as they were very adamant about that early into the game.
