Probably Arven from Scarlet/Violet. Clarifies something on this. Chooses Arven for being the most interesting, not the most likeable. Starts off pretty bad. Learned more about his situation. Understood why he reacted like that. Felt like a very real character.
Appreciated the bond between Mabosstiff and Arven too. Talks about a bond between trainer and Pokemon throughout the games. How often do you see people and Pokemon interacting outside of battle in the main games, though? Thinks of Lillie and Nebby, Leon and Charizard, and maybe Yamper and Sonia. Cannot recall N and Zorua interacting at all (as someone who played Black over a decade ago and not Black 2/White 2). Discovered some information about Gladion and Type: Null, but mostly with neither present. Liked Arven and Mabossiff for capturing that bond well. Argues that to be the real essence of Pokemon's story, more so than the battles and catching them all. (Views the battles and Pokedex completion as the grease for the wheels.)
