So... How would a Brock/Mallow shipping be called? WastedExistancesShipping?
And also the way they neglected her for so long in year 1 of XY that even a gym leader that wasn't even apart of the main cast got a 5 episode arc when Serena (and Clemont) needed it the most.Serena is mistreated. Shes the only one without a special or a cameo episode.
Even the blue fish girl and the kitchen girl and the electric unpleasant looking kid got a cameo.
Ah yes, Undyne from undertale, that was a great crossoverEven the blue fish girl.
AG Brock is worse than DP Brock, that's for surenothing is worse than DP Brock & Maybe Mallow
Cameos are worthless. Coming back only to get your ass kicked? No thanksSerena is mistreated. Shes the only one without a special or a cameo episode.

Heck in earlier episodes her personality shined through the most in my opinion. A good thing about SM was that even when a character didnt have his/her focus episode they werent just background fodder for most of the time, and so Mallow had lots of instances to interact with the cast stillMallow kinda felt dull at first, her personality started off energetic and willing to take action in things but similar to Misty she became more passive and in background, but at an even quicker pace. Nearly all her episodes were the most formulaic in a series that was more character driven and even in terms of its comedy and antics, Mallow did the least. They weren't great at making her cooking occupation compelling either, which is odd because they've had tons of chef COTD.
I feel like around the time she got Shaymin this changed and they started trying to give her more compelling limelight, even if it still kinda felt like just the baseline. I think if she'd been that level earlier she'd have been okay.
Earlier on she was more energetic and since Ash hadn't fully set into the group, she was a bit more proactive in deciding what everyone could do.Heck in earlier episodes her personality shined through the most in my opinion.

But Tracey is the only one who completed his dream. Id still go with MaxNow Iris' a champion it's definitely Tracey.
Do you realize Tracey's dream was a cop-out to get rid of him and bring Brock back for OS Johto? Just like Dawn's Buneary invitation to be a model.But Tracey is the only one who completed his dream. Id still go with Max
I don't know if we can count Iris out for two reasons:Now Iris' a champion it's definitely Tracey.
Even so, he still got to fulfill a dream while Max just got crapped on lolDo you realize Tracey's dream was a cop-out to get rid of him and bring Brock back for OS Johto? Just like Dawn's Buneary invitation to be a model.
I mean he was still a kid and not a trainer.Even so, he still got to fulfill a dream while Max just got crapped on lol
Yes, I know we didn't see her become a champion and we will never see it.I don't know if we can count Iris out for two reasons:
1) We never saw how she became Champion and Drayden's explanation basically amounts to "she felt harder".
2) She's not a Dragon Master yet, and while Axew evolved, it was all entirely offscreen.
Personally, treating a character well means developing them well. You can only develop well when it happens on-screen. Something happening off-screen with the vaguest of explanations is just handing a character something.Yes, I know we didn't see her become a champion and we will never see it.
So this is on-screen only treatment? In that case I'd agree with you but if it is for the character overall then I don't, Iris' a champion and that does not make badly treated as the writers gave her that treatment, and they decided to have her become a champion.
I know she has not achieved her main goal but are we gonna pretend that becoming a regional champion is not a big accomplishment? Come on.
