>>41160508>pointlessYou wouldn't want to spend your time immersively walking with your pokemon friends? You'd just rather walk completely alone like an edgy incel neet?
Having all the pokemon available and being able to walk with them are literally the only two bare-minimum things I want in a Pokemon game, something HGSS did perfectly.
Keeping your Pokemon locked away in their balls until they're needed for battle is borderline cruelty.
