>actually caring about plot in Pokemon
Pokemon was at its best when it focused more exploration and discovering the region for yourself, and not lumping a group of NPCs with you who say nothing of importance and praise you for being the bestest trainer in whole wide world 99% of the time.
You're legitimately retarded if you need story to carry you along in a fucking video game about monster collecting and battling. I don't care if other JRPGs do it, and even if they do they handle plot and cutscene spacing a hell of a lot better than Pokemon does.
Pokemon wasn't plot heavy before, and it sure as shit doesn't need to be now or ever.
