So then what are you implying? Dawn did lose more contests than May did, so what is the problem? May had plenty of struggles in the series if that's what you're complaining about.

Like I said, I could very well be remembering the Hoenn arcs incorrectly, adding that they aired around 8 years ago and they featured a character I didn't like, lots of things tend to get blurred over the years.

Then what characters do you like in the series? You seem to be fine with Dawn for the same things you're criticizing May for. Dawn spent the majority of her run obsessed with her appearance, her vanity, and the reason she used to lose was because she was overconfident in her abilities and then got really depressed after.

And this is a character who basically got a fully evolved Togekiss for free only 2 episodes before her Grand Festival and then used it to battle her main rival. If that's not cheap development, I don't know what is.
