The Blue Lions are the Bulbasaur of the Three Houses
This might seem an odd comment to make, but merely look at all of the unwarranted fanfare the other houses have received to understand the enormity of this notion.
Much like Charmander or Squirtle, Edelgard and Claude have been pushed to the moon and back through marketing efforts and ribald fan art that makes me feel icky inside.
The latter for his boyish good looks and accessible, carefree attitude, the former because apparently the gaming populous likes to fawn over horrid tyrants.
The truly enlightened, however, see the merit of Bulbasaur; reserved, reliable and unheralded. Not nearly as bombastic as their contemporaries, a partnership with Bulbasaur and Dimitri will be fruitfully rewarded with a steadfast ally upon whom you can depend on in the darkest moments.
Not only does Dimitri have an advantage over the rock and water-type foes in the first two gyms, but he can also resist Lt. Surge’s electric attacks — a definite boon for beginning trainers.
…I think I got my analogies mixed up.
