The reason is the same as why protagonist doesn't speak. To leave it up to your imagination. You're supposed to assume the protagonist has whatever expression you want them to have. This isn't a Pokemon-only problem. A lot of other RPGs like Dragon Quest doesn't have the player show a lot of emotions on their face. To leave it up to the imagination of the player. That's the entire point of having a silent protagonist.
