She's as good as a Pokemon character can be in my opinion, which isn't saying too much what whit the likes of Ash Ketchum being the most well known human and possibly the most jarring.
Pokemon, for the longest time has not pushed any boundaries with the main series of games; the ideas of friendship and growing stronger with your Pokemon can only go so far and Zinnia brought just that but with a storyline twist (if you can call her lineage that).
Now, you're probably thinking I'm just hating on her character at this point but I assure you that isn't the case.
Here's a comparison, N from B/W was a both a thought provoking character and blatant love interest, let's be real concerning that ferris wheel scene... He questioned the philosophy that as children, we strives to achieve for; wanting to be the very best like no one ever was, catching them all like a test, scavenger hunt, or just a challenge we issue to friends but N made it clear that something about that was messed up. Capturing Pokemon against their will and forcing them to battle, albeit there will always be that person who argues that Pokemon love to fight which I like to debunk by using the first Pokemon movie as ammunition.
IN ANY CASE, the fact remains that N was the closest thing to being a genuinely "good" character, even despite me not liking him too much.
Zinnia however, again, is just a good "Pokemon" character which doesn't mean much when characters like Kratos from Tales of Symphonia, MegaMan X from the same titicular series, and even N from the SAME SERIES exist.
Let me repeat myself, she isn't bad; just not all that special either.

I guess she's OK but when I first saw how she entered her battles, (by momentarliy turning into a wild gorilla or monkey with rabies and then throwing the Pokeball like she just woke up for school) I thought it was a glitch or it wasn't supposed to happened because it was so creepy! We don't get that much information about her though other than she is from the tribe of Dragon Masters and is kind and then dissappointed about not being the master to Raquaza. She is one of the better trainer though and is very much like Ash Ketchum but kinda stalker-ish O_O

She's a Draconian, and Draconians aren't misterious for me, all they do is to kneel before Delta Rayquaza, till someone chosen (Zinnia) summons him again in an incoming disaster.
She was on villain team, and most of the delta episode she was a thief so,
She's Neutral.
In my opinion N is still on the first place, I love whiny people.

Well in my perspective I think Zinnia is like a voice of the Pokemon Devs and they just basically said that Pokemon is a huge multiverse and all with different timelines and stories but with small things intertwined within it. It could also explain why there is 2 versions of everthing and sometimes a bit of both. I honestly believe that Zinnia was only there to tell us exactly that. Or so I honestly think.
