The Friends from X and Y

[DrampardonMe]

Now that the dust is so settled it's difficult to get rid of, what did we think of Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna? Oh, and the protagonist you didn't pick, if that person counts.

Personally, I liked what they were trying to do with them. Tierno's my favorite, because he does what I've always wanted to try-- a theme team! I think most people can't get over his design, but he's actually a pretty cool dude. Trevor's okay, but completing my Pokedex was never my primary goal (GASP!), though I respect those who strive for it.

Since Player-Character-Without-Hat is the obvious Battle Rival, that leaves Shauna. I'm not gonna lie, I simply don't like her. Her constant "I WANNA LEARN ABOUT MEGA EVOLUTION!!" in the early game didn't help matters. It was nice of her to give me a free extra Kalos starter in the postgame, but that's about it.

I think about this crew on and off, so I'm curious what others have to say about 'em, if anything.

the fireworks scene skyrocketed shauna to the top of my list, personally—though this opinion is formed on the basis of somewhat hazy memories of playing this game last a few years ago by now

i never really considered my opinions using their teams—tierno i just remember as being the Big Guy Who Dances and have a very hard time remembering him for anything else. i think that hurts his character, honestly. and trevor i only remember as being The Short One. maybe he was a bit of a nerd? or maybe i'm remembering that just based on his design. definitely the one i cared about the least out of the whole gang—at least the Obvious Battle Rival stuck around in my mind a bit more because they're the other player character

i still remember generally liking the friends in XY, but their memory rests hazy in my mind... all except shauna. perhaps it's just shauna that i actually like, and also the battle theme
