Jasmine of Olivine City

not sure what business this bitch has being the master of a lighthouse and caring for an Ampharos and then NOT being an Electric-type trainer

But given her design, I'm even more confused why she's Steel. I guess it's supposed to be like "the frail maiden actually uses the hardass pokemon wololo" but... I don't care? She looks vanilla as hell. Even more generic than Whitney, who actually uses Normal types.

I do like that her town had a little story arc to it, though. Instead of just showing up and fighting the leader, you had to get the medicine and all that stuff. so there's points there. I just think Jasmine herself is super super generic.


speaking of generic, take a look at that goddamn badge. christ, it's like they forgot to remove the placeholder.

I dunno you guys, so far no trainers have been outright terrible, but Jasmine is cutting it pretty dang close. She's a pushover in battle, too. forgettable and inane, she's saved from the absolute bottom of the barrel because her design looks nice and well put-together. It's just the sort of "nice" you expect to see in the background of a crowd scene, not on any major character, and certainly not a Steel-type gym leader.


Overall: 2/10
