TM11: Asdf starting with a hard one, of course.  There’s so many gym leaders I like :,D  So…I’m gonna cheat and pick a favorite from each gen.  Haha, laziness!  And by laziness I mean overthinking.

First gen favorite is…probably Sabrina?  Especially her old outfit.  I just always thought she was pretty cool?  I dunno.  Second gen favorite is probably the hardest to pick for me - it’s kinda a tie between everybody - so I’ll just go with Jasmine and move on, I guess.  Third gen favorite is Watson because he feels kinda atypical?  Like, I just like his extremely over-cheerful personality.  He seems like a cool dude.  Fourth gen favorite is Volkner because, again, sorta interesting personality thing going on.  Fifth gen is kinda in a similar boat to second gen in that I like almost everybody, though not to the same extreme (I either love them or just feel ambivalent towards them in almost all cases), but damn Elesa’s design is cool, so I’ll go with her.  (If you can’t win me over with a good character arc, Ms or Mr. Fictional Character, you can almost always win me over with looking really, really cool.)

My least favorite gym leaders are definitely Juan and Marlon, by virtue of feeling tacked-on and underdeveloped/underutilized, especially in the case of Juan.

TM12: Ugh, I get the feeling that these “favorite/least favorite” questions are all gonna be really complicated.  Anyway, in this case it’s a matter of judging by character design, mostly, since silent protagonists are a thing that exist and I fill them with headcanon like you wouldn’t believe.  So my favorite main character is probably Red.  Because Red.  Followed somewhat closely by Touya/Hilbert.  But I’ve liked almost all of the main character designs, so again, kinda hard for me to choose?  …I guess I have to go with Kouki/Lucas (D/P outfit, specifically) for least favorite, then.  Sorry, dude - it’s not that I dislike you, but that I…like you the least?  Ugh, that sounds really mean. : (

TM13: This one’s a bit easier.  Favorite’s Silver, for sure, followed by Hue/Hugh (in Silver’s case because he’s such a jerk, wow, and it’s interesting watching how that goes for him, and in Hugh’s case because I just like him and stuff.  I thought he was pretty interesting.  Also, as usual in both cases, character arcs).  Least favorite is either Brendan or May, depending on the protagonist you’re playing, because as an in-game rival they basically have no personality.
