Pokemon Characters That Were Done Dirty

Do you ever play the Pokemon games and grow attached to a character only for something to happen be it its out of character for them or they got a bad ending and suddenly that character leaves a bad taste in your mouth? That's what I'm going over in today's update. Today I'm addressing characters across the Pokemon games AND anime who got the short end of stick or 'Done Dirty'.

1. Nemona

Nemona is one of the very first characters you're introduced to within Scarlet & Violet as she's the player's neighbor and rival.
A lot of people love Nemona, I personally don't for the reason Pokemon did her dirty. She was characterized as a possessive overbearing borderline 'yandere' character. Her character arc never improved or attempted to make her grow as a character as she remained the same beginning to end, often being used as the butt of most jokes especially in the endgame. Even in the Post Game, when Nemona, Arven & Penny got an extra quest/storyline to close out their character arc/story, Nemona's endgame storyline only ruined her character further. Nemona's endgame storyline featured Nemona trying to figure out why nobody in the student body wants to battle her. By the end of it, Nemona grows REALLY Narcissistic/full of herself claiming she's 'too good at battling that nobody wants to battle her' and they leave it at that. Even the player character agreed with the student body often showing annoyance whenever Nemona demands a battle between them. Nemona remains the same in this game beginning to end and never not once do they attempt to make her grow. Or well, the attempt to make her grow was there, except it did more harm than good. I just don't understand how people love Nemona when her character LACKS. Admittedly, the Pokemon anime FIXED all of the issues I have with game Nemona. Anime Nemona is much less possessive and acts like a sister/best friend to the main character. Still though, game Nemona was done very wrongly.
