>Ten year old, please record all the information about all these creatures I should already know about, since I've lived here all my life and am a supposed expert in them.
>Also, if you want, take on the other masters of these creatures. Why? Heh heh, well, because this series has the plot of a shonen anime and you HAVE to beat all the dudes and be the strongest ten year old!
>Sorry my grandson virulently hates you and will fight you at every turn!
>Oh dear! The literally Yakuza have been running criminal operations! Clearly you, the ten year old with a pet monster, should defeat them! And of course they will fight you with their own monster and not simply kill you.
>Oh no! The inventor the virtual cyberspace where we keep these physical monsters has managed to transform himself into one of them! Undo it!
>Isn't this interesting! Here are several scraps of conveniently burned journal entries in the basement of a mansion you are required to scour because one of the dude's you are supposed to fight has locked the door for some reason. They seem to entail an exceptionally vague Pokemon!
>Oh no! My grandson, who you've fought the entire game with the same underlying goal that I thrust on you at the beginning, is now the strongest dude! Hopefully you'll beat him like you did every other time, because we can't progress until you beat him!
>Uh, also there's a super powerful Pokemon we hinted at, in a location we didn't hint at. Go catch it! Because you should!
No Pokemon has a good story.
