>>43553215Adding to this, there's all the mystery shit that's never mention to you that you can discover on your own. Guy that gives you tyrogue. Lapras on Fridays..
Not to mention neat lore and people using pokemon other than battling that makes the world feeling lived in, a town where people eat slowpokes and gets help cutting trees from Farfetch'd, the dancing girls and the eeveelutions, using pokemon as a source of light for the lighthouse..
Also the legendaries are just strong pokemon with a niche use/legend, like Ho-Oh reviving pokemon. Not some kind of gods that cause the apocalypse or distort time and space
