This is the first time this has ever happened to me with a Pokémon game. This is unacceptable game design. I can't believe GameFreak playtested this and thought "this will be fun for toddlers". 90% of the game is shitty cutscenes.

Hopefully they'll fire and castrate the director of this game and bring in someone who is inspired by Zelda's Wild Breath because that's what Pokémon needs.
