About 40 weeks late, but young and naive aren't the worst qualities to have.

The hell do you mean by Lillie not getting development?I don't know which episode trolled us harder, this or the Kalos League finale.
The fact Lana missed that opportunity to catch Dewpider has made SM all but much worse for me, since it looks very likely that all the girls' teams won't get any development or new team members. Mallow did have an evolution, but the thought of Lana becoming Ash's first companion to not get a single team change is becoming more and more likely to be true.
I seriously believe that Lillie, Lana and Mallow will go down as even worse than Iris for me when it comes to the writers' treatment of the female characters. Iris may be annoying, but at least she caught some Pokemon, unlike these three girls who will likely get no development while Ash gets everything just because he's the main character. Shows just how much I hate writers who give unfair treatment to certain characters.
It's because of the bad treatment by the writers of the main females that I now believe SM is indeed worse than BW.
When it comes to the writers bad treatment of female characters in terms of Pokémon teams and battling, Iris doesn’t take the cake lol. In fact I’d argue after her saga is when the writers treatment of female characters got sketchy.I don't know which episode trolled us harder, this or the Kalos League finale.

According to fans I thought Lillie was “getting TOO much development”The hell do you mean by Lillie not getting development?
Lol Lillie isn't being treated that badI don't know which episode trolled us harder, this or the Kalos League finale.

And count me as one of the people who’s not upset she didn’t catch it. Most of the Sun and Moon’s cast Pokémon has been so predictable thanks to games (Soph potential Vikavolt, Kiawe’s Marowak and Mallows Steene). I’m glad the writers aren’t giving her another predictable Pokémon that anyone who’s played the games can already have a good idea what will be caught. Give her a Squirtle or another water type Pokémon but the trial captains following their exact game version teams was getting boring.
Yeah, this would have been perfect for herI'd personally argue that while, yes, Lana catching Dewpider may have been predictable from the games, I think it still would have been better caught than not caught given Lana's dream in the anime of creating a giant bubble. It has a bubble on its head so it just seemed like a perfect fit...that got squandered sadly.
Yeah but a lot of characters capture Pokémon that has nothing to do with their goals and or unexpected to be caught by them. Iris caught an Emolga and owned an Excadrill and despite May and Dawn being coordinators they caught not traditionally cute Pokémon like Munchlax and Mamoswine. My point in saying this is that characters have “odd captures” that fans don’t predict and quite frankly Lana catching the ONLY other people known for bubbles is too predictable at least as a second capture. Popplio’s and Lana’s bubble dream was shared between them so I don’t see why she needs mutiple pokemon doing the exact same thingI'd personally argue that while, yes, Lana catching Dewpider may have been predictable from the games, I think it still would have been better caught than not caught given Lana's dream in the anime of creating a giant bubble.

She used to, but now she doesn't get any.The hell do you mean by Lillie not getting development?
@Dragalge It's because Lillie is still only stuck with one proper Pokemon. That's why I consider her being treated badly.
I see your point (though we all know Emolga was caught to service the Pika-clone trend that Pachirisu started), but I guess I'd rather take story cohesion for Lana over unpredictability, especially since I feel she's been the best written SM character up to this point.Yeah but a lot of characters capture Pokémon that has nothing to do with their goals and or unexpected to be caught by them.
