>>39354030Pokemon has always been about human characters and Pokemon. It's not just Pikachu, it's Reds Pikachu, etc. A few sad anons are just looking for reasons to complain because they're upset that Gen 8 is going to be the series low point when it could have been a rebirth with main games for the primary audience and Let's Go's for the younger.
The Pokemon Adventures manga, the anime, the video games (except Mystery Dungeon) have always been about the iconic gym leaders and MCs and rivals, and their and your monster teams and travels.
Team Rocket and Team Aqua and Plasma and all the rest aren't just a collection of random `mons.
It's sad to think there might be some single digit IQ anons who aren't trolling and really think that any mention of a trainer is a deviation instead of the defining standard for the games.
