>>55387529>As you said it does not. Unlike Sabi, Cheryl enters battle with you as you encounter trainers and wild Pokemon. Should a player choose, they can spend hours in Eterna Forest with Cheryl as their companion. Again. That's not a quirk of Eterna Forest - that's just you having a waifu NPC. Cheryl as a companion in battle is relatively useless and she repeats lines within a minute of chatting with her.
>I know that there are actual major plot events here but there's nothing to do afterwards like when I was just able to pass through it in 5 mins with my waifu. This is what you sound like. It's a little ridiculous. And this is false, you catch pokemon afterwards except it's not time based and progression locked for some dumb reason. I legitimately cannot believe that you have an entire boss fight in an area but you think its worse because 'lol but can I return here and do something?'. The reason why you can return to eterna to do something is because they have to pad content because the game is heavy on HMs. If they put all the content in front of you you would complain that there's nothing to do afterward. I have no idea why this is how you think.
