>>38260905in the case of SM, being friend with lillie is what allow you to take part in the story and it seems that hau is the only child of your age in his village.
they contribute to the comfy feeling of the game, fitting with the age of your character and the setting
>>38260912I agree that as they are, they lack many things and are really underdeveloped. which is a shame because weren't for trevor, I would never have bothered catching the old useless ones and would have just caught the new ones like I did in moon. I completed the pokedex because this midget was constantly trying to measure dicks and, although I played a female character, I had to, at least, do as good as him. and since I was already doing it, better doing it perfectly.
and now, I have a fuckin livedex in X, thanks ginger midget.
tierno is also sheer wasted potential, he could have been a great rival in contests if this was still a thing. his focus on moves would have been perfectly justified.
>>38260918laugh is the more potent way of escape in the worst situations, laughing isn't incompatible with taking things seriously and absurd reasoning can lead to unpredictable plans which might work.
>>38260914naruto did this but at some point, the edgelord go grimdark and leave to do its own thing while the cheery one start realizing it's time to grow up and get badass. then everything go haywire and the big bad becomes a woman then a tree and I stopped reading somewhere there.
point is : it's complicated to keep the edgelord without having to face a sentient tree in the end... I guess ?
>>38261042it's called "toxic masculinity", you can perfectly be friend with another guy without wanting to measure dicks. especially when you know yours is bigger.
also, I play a girl, can I have a bitchy female rival ?
