>>23112457What exactly is this thread about? Of course I want a good bond with my pokemon. We work together to achieve a natural goal, its only natural that we get along. Weather our relationship is like a family, or like a soldier and commander the relationship must be clear and precise to get the best potential. Even if the pokemon hate you they must still follow your commands or else you both will lose. Of course this is just a video game though...but i'll play it how i damn well please.
