>>56250147Getting the medicine for Psyduck was SOVL. It builds Cynthia's character, let's you interact with the natural pokemon environment some, it provides world building, all while helping you avoid sequence breaking and ruining the intended experience.
>>56250138Same thing with Snorlax, getting the pokeflute and exploring the castle or whatever provides world building for Kalos and shows the distinction between the upper/lower classes (aristocracy history in Kalos) and what their values are. It also builds the players relationship with the cast, like Shauna. Why Snorlax? It's a fun little callback to the original Pokemon games!
