>>29273015They certainly don't play it for useless dialogue Friend1 has to say then drag you out of your way to watch him catch a pokemon, oh but then wait! After that friend 2 wants to battle you! then friend 3 will heal your pokemon and battle you too!. But wait, theres more, Friend 4 just appeared and now they want a battle! gasp!
Its pointless shitty filler and I just want my rival to be some nobody who i battle, not chat up a storm with and play hide and seek with for ten fucking minutes before anything interesting happens.
X/Y started this horrid trend. Just go back to three or four lines of text and then battle. Nobody gives a shit goddamn.
