The Pokemon franchise, the games in particular, are becoming less about the actual Pokemon and more about pointless characters that add nothing to what the main focus should be about, the Pokemon, instead forcing you to listen to their stories and issues when all you wanted was to play a Pokemon game
Adding plot to Pokemon was a fucking mistake, you can't even make the argument that "it's for kids" since kids don't wanna sit through tons of dialogue anyway, we need more environmental storytelling and less (unskippable) cutscenes
