>>50560614I would constantly turn around and interact with my partner pokemon because i just thought it was the cutest thing ever
I chose bayleef because the anime had made me like it as a kid and when it did the little smiley face and say something cheesy like "bayleef is smiling at you" it warmed my heart
Pokemon games are finally starting to bring this back in modern games but no one has really done it right besides LGPE but i never bought that because it seemed kinda surface level
Hoenn is still my favorite region but Heartgold lets me know why i love pokemon so much. I wish i could find my copy
