>>22320218That sounds a lot like Digimon though. Let me tell you why that's bad. Digimon is all about an intense bond between the person and their one digimon creature. They are partners and friends and comrades.
Pokemon is about catching them all. It's about collecting ALL the animals. You can't suddenly have them able to speak to you and become close friends, because then it's like putting your best friends into prison and herding them around like cattle.
Which, incidentally, is why Pokemon behave more like cattle than humans.
