>>41868201You scarcely ever get to speak with an NPC who offers an opinion about the places you visit in your adventures. It's all "Potions heal Pokémon" or "Treat Pokémon with kindness". You have no following companion as in other RPGs, for whatever little dialogue they typically offer. No character acts as a friend beyond unwanted sporadic interruptions and sycophancy.
Following Pokemon just bring a little more humanity and comfort to this lonely game. The fact that you sad fucks can't appreciate this and would actually argue against it is of no surprise to me.
