ITT Tenten...because she never gets any love.

While I agree she gets little love, that could be because she seems to be nothing more than a side-character in absolutely everything. I mean, in one arc alone, we learn of the hidden powers in Lee, Gaara, Neji, Hinata, Kiba, Kankuro, Tenmari, Shikamaru, Shino, and basically everyone else. I mean, even Chouji ends up impressing quite a few. (and then in the retrieval arc, he really lets loose with some jaw-dropping strength) But Tenten... can still chuck kunai and shurikens en masse. To be fair, this does keep her pretty consistent in terms of usefulness with Sakura and Ino (who mostly get more attention because they actually get some screentime). The only female genin who show any real potential are Hinata and Temari (who... then actually go on and make use of said potential).

I don't mean to sound like I'm bashing Tenten (because, let's face it, hating a fictional character with a passion is pretty stupid and should be left to jealous yaoi fangirls). I'm just saying that she's really more of a background character, like Kishimoto already had enough characters to delve into, but still needed a 3rd team member for Neji and Lee.

Agreed.
Yet, strangely enough, Kishimoto has stated that Tenten is his favorite out of all of the ninja girls.

Tenten being his favorite also brings another perspective to things: if he were to get into Tenten at all, it's going to be his way (which I suspect he'd really rather do well or not much at all, rather than crappily).

Tenten I think may get a lot of screentime later in the series~ but that's because it can be very hard on the author to let well-developed characters not get the attention they deserve.

Time will tell :)
