This is something that stuck with many fans, seeing it as an unfair turn of events that denied Lillie the joy of caring for a Pokemon simply because players had to get a chance to catch Solgaleo or Lunala. Some players like to name their Solgaleo or Lunala Nebby to honor Lillie's affection, but while she doesn't really like Pokemon battles, she should have been the one to catch Nebby. Players are able to then catch the Pokemon and even give it a new nickname, completely ignoring the fact that it was Lillie who really looked after Cosmog the whole time. Following the events of the story, Nebby evolves into Cosmoem first, and then it finally turns into the box Legendary for Pokemon Sun or Moon. Lillie's mother is Lusamine, the head of the Aether Foundation who is trying to open Ultra Wormholes with the help of Team Skull, and she intended to harness Cosmog's energy despite it causing pain to the Ultra Beast.

When she is about to be stopped, a Pokemon in her bag teleports them both away. Lillie is one of the first characters who players meet in Pokemon Sun and Moon, and in an early cutscene she is seen trying to escape Aether Paradise - one of the five islands that make the archipelago of Alola.

While Pokemon Sunand Moon were successful games, something about their story felt off to some players: how Lillie and Nebby don't get to stay together. Pokemon Sun and Moon also introduced players to regional variants, making some Pokemon look and have different typings than in their home region, with an example being Alolan Vulpix's Ice-type compared to Kantonian Vulpix's Fire-type. Generation 7 was one of the most charismatic titles in the Pokemon franchise thanks to the beautiful Alola region's locations and characters, as well as Pokemon.

It's not uncommon for Pokemon games to have a few characters who stand out in any given mainline release, such as Professor Oak and Giovanni from Pokemon Red and Blue.
