Watching the recent Pokemon short with Lillie and Lunala does anyone feel the anime kind of dropped the ball with SM Lillie? Having Ash bond with Cosmog over Lillie was the first big reg flag that Lillie was losing her plot relevance, but since Lusamine wasn’t evil in the anime and just misguided it made Lillie’s character arc not feel as strong.
Besides that I feel like Lillie just didn’t really do much after the Aether arc ended. She got a Z crystal but it’s the same thing all the SM characters did, and the stuff with Mohn only came up at the tail end of the series and is still unresolved. Her role in the league was so short and forgettable (her match lasted less than a minute and Gladion defeated her in two attacks) that she had the worst performance of any SM character. At least Mallow had a full episode almost even if she didn’t do be very good.
Kind of perplexes me I see so many people consider Lillie one of the best developed characters of the anime when she feels underwhelming compared to her game counterpart.
