I have a little personal question to ask you guys. What aspect of Pokemon do you play it for? When you play the game, do you focus solely on the competitive mechanics of the game? IVs, EVs, natures, strategies, planning, team placement, etc? Or do you play for the aesthetics? The story, the characters, the environment, the feeling of adventure and exploration? Do you simplify your team placement and actually care about your teammates sentimentally? In short, when you play Pokemon are you in it for the competition or the adventure itself?

The catching and documenting each species appeal to me. It's the main reason why I like pokemon. I feel like if the games didn't have the pokedex I would likely play another monster game.> the environment, the feeling of adventure and exploration? This comes second. I love to explore in games. This is also one of the reason I don't mind HMs at all, in fact I like them.>The story, the characters Depends. I really liked it better with the older games where you were more free to personalize the plot. I'm not a huge fan of the in-your-face storytelling of the never games.>Or do you play for the aesthetics? Depends what you mean. I like the pokkemon designs and character designs for the most part. The game graphics are nothing to write home about though.> actually care about your teammates sentimentally? No. They're data. Compare it to watching a movie. You might sympathize with the characters and emotionally invest in them, but you know they aren't real and you don't truly "care" for them.>When you play the game, do you focus solely on the competitive mechanics of the game? I do play some competitive afterwards. However I don't find it very fun to play against other people. You meet the same pokemon too often and there are too many cheap strategies in my opinion.

Maison tbh. It's more enjoyable than battling online where you fight the same pokemon over and over again. I don't play it for the story or experience. Fuck collecting and catching
