What do people want in Galar's represantation of the female character? Someone who does showcases/contests, someone who gym battles, or something new? I for one would like to see them do gym battles
I'd love for the return of Contests as unlikely as that would be. That was such a great way to give the female leads something proactive to do while also providing some variety in the battles. I still feel like the anime lost something important once Contests were removed, even though it was understandable given that they weren't featured in the games anymore. Although, as long as it does involve Pokemon battling to some degree, then I'd be fine with something new.
Showcases were just a poor man's Contest appeal just minus anything that made them interesting or challenging, so I hope that those never appear again. As cool as a female trainer taking on Gym battles sounds on paper, I just can't see them doing that with Ash already doing that.
