Always wondered why SMD couldn't just add recruits alongside the Connection Orb characters. Since Pelipper Island's default helpers are silent, they could've just made it so that recruits don't talk like them, with only the Connection Orb Pokemon getting unique dialogue to give the player some reason to get them. The game also seems to have enough space to fit more mons, since you can receive plenty of helper Pokemon from other players even after connecting with everyone in the main story.
