>>55442786>in a universe where humans don’t existYou've never played PMD, at least not in any significant way. This is the type of thing you'd say after seeing an advertisement and knowing nothing about the series. Three of the major stories in PMD also majorly revolve around Pokémon/human bonds in context.
>an advertisement for the mainline gamesWrong. If anything it was an advertisement for Shiren the Wanderer in the west, before setting itself apart by becoming Chunsoft's best seller. Game Freak don't need a spinoff to advertise their games.
