I still feel like everything about this was a huge lost opportunity. Snivy was very stagnant in BW and could have used some development. They had it right there laid out, but they chose to ignore it instead of developing Snivy further.I think you misunderstood the root of Snivy's empathy. Snivy sympathized with Tepig because Tepig's trainer was a horrible person, not necessarily because she was also abandoned. It's never directly stated, but it is heavily implied that Snivy abandoned her trainer because they were also a jerk. It's just that Snivy reacted to her abuse differently (i.e. by running away), so I wouldn't call it hypocrisy.
