Pheobe is an obvious Hawaiian girl making her an Alola native

>she gets no appearance in Sun/Moon
That's a bonus.

Phoebe doesn't have a character for it to matter

No Elite 4 prior to SM really have that interesting of characters because you get no opportunity to interact with them or get to know them

She's not Alolan native. She explicitly said she's from Mt. Pyre.
In terms of how the Pokemon world is based on the real one, she's probably Okinawan. They tend to have darker skin and it's basically treated like Japan's Hawaii.

maybe GF thinks that ORAS and all of Gen 3 was a mistake.

also, Gen 3 Eltie 4? literally who. I can barely remember two of them and that's the first dude with dark type mons and Phoebe.
