Take the very beginning of the game. Professor Kukui himself, the leading authority on pokemon research in the region, personally calls you to handle your Immigration. You, some punk mute 11-year-old with a dumb weaboo name and a stupid hat (and not, say, your Mother and legal guardian, who looks like a Local and whose appearance does not change even if you choose a different hair or skin tone, because guess what? She isn’t your real mom. She’s just part of the plot.) The Professor takes time out of his busy double-life to make sure you enjoy your move into a fancy house not in any town (because you’re too special to live among other people) and starts calling you Buddy and Cousin like he’s known you for years.
