>>45092905This post is wanking a little too hard. Nothing about Pokemon Red/Blue/Green feels like a "grand quest." You're just some fucking kid with a pocket monster wandering around. The game doesn't tell you about how the Pokemon League works at the beginning. The most of anything that it outright does is give you a Pokedex, so that the concept of trying to catch lots of different Pokemon might matter to you. You're basically shuffled along in a straight line for most of the adventure, only occasionally backtracking when some road block requires it. Yeah, stuff escalates, but it mostly has nothing to do with you.
tl;dr, Pokemon generally doesn't have enough purpose to be considered questing.
Aside from that, the assertion that it's a relic is hilarious, especially coming of the heels of pointing out that the problem is, as the whole argument is trying to lead into, aesthetics.
