Nessa also name drops Sonia specifically during your finals match when she gets down to her last pokemon. Just wish they had more actual interactions in-game. But there's tons of things the game lacks, so less yuri in a Nintendo game is the least of my concerns.
I wish there were more Shamiko / Komomo pictures. The manga left me wanting to see more interactions between Shamiko and little Momo, and the pictures that exist aren't enough to fill the void.
And thus, the battle for Tomoko started, and it would be the largest and most ferocious battle in Arda since the War of Wrath, easily outdoing both the War of the Last Alliance and the War of the Ring combined in its ferocity.
