I grew up with Pokémon red and gold. In those games, you can kind of just ignore the story and play through the game.

At some point Pokémon seemed to switch, and have so much more dialog forced upon you, especially in the early game.

When did this start? Was it with Pokémon X and Y or did it come later? I know Sun and Moon felt that way to me.

    I think I really started noticing it in X and Y. I got to the second city and they introduced like 4 kinda-rivals and I’m like “I really don’t care about any of these people”.

    I want to go collect magical animals, not go to school or whatever the most recent one is.
