@ShiawaseRina Wow, i didnt know that....
That rly sucks :/
I'd love if there was atleast one manga adaptation that had a sole female game protag as the lead, but alas...
The pkmn female protags are popular in official media in such a way that their appearances are cute so theyre used to promote material. When it comes to acknowledging that theyre the heroes of their own stories though its a different matter...
my image of leaf overlaps with my image of link in that theyre both cool heroes who are bad at expressing their feelings (byleth is included in this lineup as well)
