Whether you like Pokemon Showcases or not, they're here to stay for now and all the focus is on Serena, Shauna, Miette, Nini and future Kalos Queen Jessie. However, some of the background characters appear just as interesting.

I know there's a lot of love for the Mightyena girl -

But there are lots more interesting characters who deserve more focus, in my opinion. I remember a girl who performed with a Fletchling who had a fabulous outfit -

What about you? Are there any background characters who you'd like to see more of, or you just like their look?
 
I'm really into the duck girl tbh & glad to see that she's in the upcoming episode! <3
 
I'm surprised they put so much detail and unique designs into these female performers when they're all essentially background characters.

None of the background coordinators in AG or DP ever had this much detail, they all just had generic designs because they weren't important.
 
Just found this great picture of a group of Performers :)

I'm surprised they're not doing more with Plusle-Minun Girl.

Why give those 2 to a space filler???

Not to mention how they keep coming back for more, which never happened in AG & DP (even when some of COTD coordinators seemed more interesting than the rivals we had)
 
It is pretty awesome how much detail and attention to the design was given to these background characters! That's definitely a big plus compared to contests.
All the performers have lovely and unique designs. It's really cool that they did this.

Its because they get to draw pretty girls in dresses/outfits. Its for fanservice reasons, most likely.
 
I do appreciate them trying to do something different after two Coordinators and two aspiring type specialists.

Performers aren't that much different than coordinators, minus the battling. Dawn did something in DP called a Pokestylist which was the ep Lopunny debuted in...which is almost exactly like a tripokalon. She designed a dress, did an appeal, and the woman/old lady in those eps looked similar to Aria.

I like to think Dawn quit Contests and becomes a Pokestylist.

Well, they could have drawn female coordinators in pretty outfits during DP, too. I like to think they are doing this because the animation quality is higher this season (DP is getting pretty old at this point) and because Performers have a bigger role than Coordinators. The latter were mostly there to show off their Pokemon and help with the coordination. Performers actually perform alongside their Pokemon. It would be pretty underwhelming if background Performers had simple/dull designs.
 
Fanservice can be anything. In a show like Pokemon this is fanservice. They're waifu's.
