Okay, well add me on that or I'll add you. :'p
TF arc. was fantastic, I owe most of its success to all the build-up with the TSME. It gave everything a great feeling of suspense, energy and power thanks to Alan's character and all. Citroid, dying, I didn't give a crap about. It's a robot and it's getting resurrected immediately soon enough, I just feel like it was another one of XY's silly attempts at being "edgy," the Citroid death left me cold. It's especially jarring how Citron, once again, got little to no focus.
Kiawe already has the Fire turtle, Mallow - Bounsweet, Soph - Togedemaru and Lana - Popplio. They went to the trouble of giving Kiawe a big Pokemon from the start and I don't think the trial leaders will lose their aces from in-game (poor Heliolisk >_>) so they do have their marketable cute Axew / Pikachu-tier Pokemon. I don't think for a second the blondes are the new standard for companions, Trial Captains are battlers as well and if the JPN site is any indication there are another four.
