>>26622291Silent protags are fine. They're generally a vessel for the player to experience the world, and allow role-play. Some games are better suited to this kind of character, and games can even do fun bait-and-switches using a silent protag (see: undertale, earthbound, etc).
Non-silent protags are also fine. They allow the player to experience a character's story as opposed to being put into the story themselves. Some games are better suited to this type of character.
I'm sure whichever route pokemon decided to go, if they tailored the game with that kind of protag in mind, they could do it well. Though I personally enjoy the silent protagonist trope.
>B-but only one is allowed to be good and the other is shit and the one I like is the good oneI hate this stupid fucking culture where people feel compelled to pick sides on an issue and argue about it like you're picking teams that are opposed to eachother. That doesn't just go to OP, this goes to half of you in the thread.
