Who'd be mean to Gabrielle? Competitive players, basically.

Flareon is, in terms of competitive play? Preeeeeeeeetty much garbage. Indeed, it is valued less than Garbodor, who is quite litterally (hahaha) a pile of discarded refuse. Flareon's cute an' all, but it doesn't have the bulk (or typing) necessary to use Guts effectively and Flash Fire's completely useless on a physical attacker. Flareon is classified as PU-tier on Showdown, which is the tier below Never Used. They're rubbish.

So a new competitive player in need of a Fire-type winds up with a Flareon... and chucks it in the box to rot as soon as they get something better, which is basically anything.

And that's how you get Gabrielle's horrifying self-esteem issues.
