I genuinely am confused by the argument that a gym leader who streams is somehow out of place.

Like I know we are all Olds but streaming is an actual for real thing. People are going to be streaming the game when it comes out.

Probs because I'm old and this is more meta than I'd prefer. Strangely I actually love it if someone is a more antagonistic kind of annoying in game like Klara or Melli. They're a lot of fun to fight because they're so dramatic and over the top about it. In this case...she's not supposed to be mean or anything this is just what she does. And what she does deeply irritates me on a personal level. There's not a lot to be done about it and I'm sure some people will love her. But it's just a big nope from me I guess.

She's a reference that is for the target audience, not the real audience.

It's when you join a game specifically to find a streamer playing it and beat them or t-pose at them or say slurs on their stream or whatever, you know normal kid stuff

Like straight up watching someone stream is not this weird meta injoke. It is a thing that can be as common as watching TV and isn't anything special. I have elderly relatives who watch people stream card games.

I can understand being frustrated that a part of society just feels impenetrable but it is like getting upset Sh/Sw had a bunch of soccer trappings

How soon we forget Raihan.

I liked Raihan, but like most human characters in a Pokemon game he suffers from the major flaw of "not being a Pokemon" and thus not what I'm here for.

Streamer/influencer girl is fine, she's got a decent design and that's really all a gym leader needs to be at least somewhat memorable, now show us the new Pokemon already!

It's supposed to sound like "I dunno" so I think they did a decent job incorporating the wordplay in her tagline and still making it sound electric.

You make some solid points, but DC doesn't own the word "enigma" and not doing something because gamers might be terrible about it is bad thing to base your decisions on because they can find ways to be terrible with basically everything.
