>>14015744You're not even providing a proper argument you are just spouting complete nonsense. The fact that you join the guild and go through all those adventures with them VERY CLEARLY shows how your partner develops into a likeable character.
First he steels himself to face an actual criminal and is braver because of the experience as well as learns how good it feels to help those less stronger than him.
He braves being trampled by a waterfall by trusting you. HE FUCKING TRUSTS YOU TO THROW HIMSELF INTO A WATERFALL WITHOUT ANY SORT OF PROOF.
You face off against a legendary pokemon out of nowhere even if it was just an illusion in the massive exploration the whole guild has.
Both your presence and your partners presence serve to help Bidoof better himself to become a not shit explorer.
Wigglytuffs backstory. How much Chatot cares for the guildmaster despite being such an faggot douche for the first half of the game.
You can even see relationships amongst the lesser characters as well by just talking to them.
