do you honestly think Japanese companies give a shit of your opinion? if you ask them if they are friends they will say yes, if you ask them they are lovers they will say yes, or they will see what you believe it's true. They don't give a shit they just want to make everyone happy. They are never ever gonna give love interests to characters they know their ship keeps fans happy and buying pokemon shit and they may even openly tease it, like they do with Archie and Maxie. It's pretty much industry standard
