I know I may sound obsessed with Emolga, but I can't help myself. Say what you will, that it's just another Pika-clone, that it's just a Pachirisu that can fly, but I like it. Now, with that said, I have a few things to say about Iris'.
Sure, she's a gluttonous, lazy little squirrel, but that's part of the point. I often get a big sense of (if you'll pardon the pun), Anticipation at how Emolga will turn out when she makes an appearance. We've seen her use Volt Switch to opt out of battles and pull on cute faces to avoid being scolded, but will that always be the case?
To bring up a couple recent cases, in the new movies starring Victini, we see Emolga battle an Emboar, use Volt Switch to escape the battle, and try to use a cute face to make Iris forgive her. From Excadrill's active entrance, it seems this is after he's trusted Iris again. But in the battle against Sawk, we see her willingly keep up the battle even while her Attract is being blocked and she's getting pummeled. Yes, people are saying that in that case, there should have been an episode to show why Emolga is so willing, and I agree, but it's nothing to obsessively rant about.
I know it's too early to tell, but does anyone think there's any hope of Emolga actually maturing past her bratty little self, or will she remain a hindrance to Iris?
