The problem is that you ignore the fact Kishimoto might just like Shikamaru.
Sometimes, when an author is working on something certain side characters just grow on them or take over aspects of the story...it isn't necessarily because they are special because they had to be, it's just author favour.
A second point is that perhaps Shikamaru's lack of a particular theme is his 'hat' except unlike others he gets 'mini-themes' while other themeless characters like Shino just get no themes.

Eh? How that a problem? I simply find that irrelevant. ?_? - Kishimoto said his favourite girl out of Sakura, Ino, Hinata and Tenten is Tenten. - Kishimoto said that his favourite girl (overall) is Anko.
Obviously, all that didn't influence how he writes the manga, no?
And getting mini-themes is not a theme. Giving a character mini-themes is directly giving up the opportunity to develop it into a mega-theme that would occupy many more pages and thus generate more revenue. Kishimoto can't write the manga for his own fun you know, he's got editors to please and a whole crew to feed.

I agree with you on this, because now i find it even more strange that Shikamaru's role as a supporting character is bigger than the others O__O
Oh well ,I suppose Kishimoto has his reasons!
(I took extreme notice in the part with Temari and i do agree, but as a ShikaHina fan( yep, weird couple right?), I have a hard time believeing that he and temari will end up together, because I always imagined them just being friends anyway, but oh well, I can't predict what will happen, since Kishimoto isn't very predictable anyway.)
