So it looks like we will be followed around by not two, but four different "friends" this time. What the hell happened to just traveling the land with no one but your Pokemon by your side? Previous games made a big deal about how much of a companion your Pokemon are, and how you and your Pokemon have to rely on each other throughout your journey. But a big group like this makes it seem as if Pokemon are just relegated to battle robots or something.

Shauna is really cute though.
