>>46126039>learn how to be normal menTo be fair he's pretty much the masculine trait of anti-social behavior and obsession with items rather than people. If it wasn't for Ash he'd probably would have treated Pokemon as objects to research and a goal to get Mew rather than Partners
which has actually been the case for a good while with his catching sprees and only starting to get closer with them with the random contest or research episodes that focused around him . His first mission with Ash pretty much showed this given how confused he was that Ash could empathize with the Bulbasaurs. He just needs to build up more confidence and learn the social skills he lacked by being a shut-in computer dork. Hell they've already started establishing his nature to be a protector given his association to Zamazenta and going out of his way to protect Koharu from Aerodactyl.
