I'd love to join! Lillie is such an awesome character, it's so early in the series and I'm already so fond of her.

Why do you like Lillie? Gosh, for so many reasons! In the games, Lillie is, imo, probably on of the very best written characters in Pokemon to date. Her character is deep and well-rounded, and I was so emotionally involved in her storyline. The way she starts out as a careful and cautious girl with little confidence in herself, then grows into her "Z-powered" self, was just so
well done. Also, the themes explored through her and Gladion's character, while pretty dark (parental abuse and neglect/abandonment), were handled very well. I think it's great and so important that GameFreak included it in Sun and Moon, it's a really important message. The part near the end, when protag and Lillie are in the other dimension to save her mother, where she confronts her mother and "scolds" her was really powerful (even though it was delivered in a kind-of humerous way).
It's so rewarding seeing Lillie grow into herself throughout the game, gaining confidence and finding love in those around her. :,) I was so sad to see her leave in the end, and I can't help imagining how her adventures in Kanto go.
I would absolutely LOVE it if she makes a cameo or smth in a future game, or that they atleast let us know how she's doing.
As for her anime counterpart, I'm really enjoying watching her too!! It's only been 14 episodes and Lillie is already on of my top favourite PokeAni characters of all time. She's so sweet and kind, and she's always trying her best. Her enormous love and admiration for Pokemon is so endearing. <3 She's really passionate about Pokemon, and she knows so much about each one! Which really makes you curious about her fear of touching them. I really loved how they're slowly revealing little bits and pieces about her character, but still leaving big unanswered questions, as it really makes you curious about where they will take her development. Even though she seems to be slowly but surely getting over her fear now, thanks to her friends encouragement and Shiron, the question of where her fear came from still remains. What happened during the time she moved with her mother? Why can't she remember it? Gah, I'm really so excited to see where they'll take her storyline!! >_<
Also, Lillie and Shiron's relationship is
super adorable. Their interactions were so sweet. Lillie telling Shiron that she loved her even though she couldn't touch her... MY HEART T_T Too cute~
I can't wait to see how she'll grow as a trainer.
All in all, how can you
not love Lillie? ^^
