i like you.
anyway, i'll agree with these points, and also add my own. i thought the first arc was pretty cool; sure they changed characters, and it's rather annoying to have quiet, badass red turn into a general hero, but the characters themselves weren't that annoying, and were actually interesting on many occasions for me. i really liked female!green/blue in particular.
then we met yellow.
and it all went downhill.
yellow just seemed so unnecessary to me. she's not a real character, but i could let that go if her character wasn't so annoying, in my opinion. she's got that bella swan personality; she's quiet, supposedly shy, and her 'faults' are played as endearing. then they make it as a big deal that she's female. why? and can't they have figured it out by her voice? better question, why did she keep it hidden in the first place? was it thought that the boys would lose all sanity when they were around 11 year old vagina? (however old she was; clearly not very)
and the power. not only does it not really make sense, but it is so ridiculously powerful. talking to pokemon and healing them for as much as you want? you could beat mewtwo with a bloody level two spinarak if you wanted, with something like that.
finally - and this is just a pet peeve of mine that also exists with dawn, but on a lesser scale because i honestly don't mind dawn, as she's funny sometimes - SHE DOESN'T EVOLVE ANY OF HER FUCKING POKEMON. it's not that they don't want to - oh, no, at least dawn's piplup just didn't want to - BUT SHE STOPS THEM WITH HER POKEDEX TO KEEP THEM CUTE. ignoring that they might want to be stronger, ignoring that she's trying to save people so FOR THE GREATER GOOD they should be evolved, but that is like the most shallow thing ever. it's not like doing that to game pokemon. in the end, those are just pixels. yellow's pokemon would have FEELINGS and EMOTIONS just like most living things out there. that's such a shallow reason, too.
and didn't she power up her ~level 30 (being generous) pokemon to level 80 or so with her power during the lance fight?
