I don't mind Rotom (Dex). I actually kinda like him.

What's exactly is her personality? Trolling people?Like nobody thinks of Lana as just some girl who likes water pokemon, people think of her personality first.
She's an energetic girl who likes the sea and making jokes, for starters.What's exactly is her personality? Trolling people?
Almost everything she did or wanted to do related to Contests in some fashion. Now characters are defined more by their personalities first and what they do second.

Lana's goal was established early on, in her first focus episode, to be precise. And Sophocles mentioned his goal in the ice cave episode.I don’t even know what goals do Sophocles and Lana have, for starters (if they even have any).

If you look at the cave episode, specifically the scene where Mallow, Sophocles, and Lillie are talking together, if I recall correctly, Sophocles said he wants to meet Pokémon from outer space.So... its blowing human sized bubbles for Lana? It seems as vague as a Pokemon Master...
And I still cannot find Sophocles’ goal since it isn’t mentioned anywhere on his Bulbapedia page.A goal so hidden that not even Bulbapedia remembers it

SM is less focused on goals and more focused on slice of life, hence why characters are more important than their goals.The character’s goals are not focused enough on in this series imo.
I hate SM series, but I totally agree. Lana is one of the few things I personally like about this show.I think Lana is a better Water-type girl than Misty.
One thing I like about the current cast is they're defined by their personalities first and their goals second. Like nobody thinks of Lana as just some girl who likes water pokemon, people think of her personality first. A lot of past characters were defined more by what they did in the anime, Dawn is probably the most obvious example of this, she's mainly remembered as the Contest/coordinator girl more than anything. She started off with a goal and it just defined her entire run in the series. Almost everything she did or wanted to do related to Contests in some fashion. Now characters are defined more by their personalities first and what they do second.
On a similar note, I don't really see the appeal for Lana. I don't dislike her. She can be funny, her dub voice is actually pretty close to how I imagined she sounded like in the games and like most of the SM cast, she has had some good focused episodes. I just don't really see why she's considered the best girl in SM. I thought I would understand that more by the time I saw her capture Eevee, but nope. I'll often forget that she even likes Water Pokemon because unlike with Misty, it will rarely come up. She isn't as overly hyped as SM Lillie has been for me yet, but she's getting up there. Lana is at best okay for me.
