The writers seem to be teasing us with Marina in the D/P series, almost as if they're alluding to something that may occur in the future. She's had two cameos in the series so far, the newest one depicting her as a coordinator.
She's currently the only one of the main videogame heroines not to have a starring role in the regular anime, (sans Leaf Green girl), do you think the writers are now using her as perhaps a preview of what might come? Its fairly obvious to me that if Marina had been around at the start of G/S rather than coming along with Crystal, that she might have been on the group in the Johto region and Misty would have left at the end of Orange. But since that boat sailed, are the writers now wanting to give Marina another chance in the series since she got pretty much nothing compared to May and Dawn?
She's an experienced trainer but since she's a coordinator there's no way she could fit in currently with Dawn on the group, although there is a possibility of Marina becoming a rival to Dawn later on in the saga.
And on top of that, do you think it is a bit arrogant of the writers to have the three main playable female characters of each gen, (May, Dawn and now Marina of R/S, D/P and G/S respectively) as coordinators? The personalities of the three do overlap at some points as well, so what are your thoughts on this and do you think Marina will play a bigger role in the anime in the future, considering she missed out of her chance to be in the spotlight back during Johto?
Or will Marina, the main G/S female protagonist never get any special focus in the anime like May and Dawn got during their respective sagas? And if we do get G/S remakes down the road, will Marina having a bigger role become much more likely in your opinion?
