- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Literally every single character in the newest Pokemon game. The entire narrative is so god damned insufferable. I‘ll never buy another Pokemon game again unless it’s like Arceus and has less narrative.
Pokemon didn't grow up with it's player base. They try and keep the storylines Kid friendly, when I'd guess 70%+ of players are adults.
Black & White probably had the most "Adult" narratives of the series, delving into the slavery/forced labor a bit. I'd love to see the games delve into some more adult themes, but I doubt it will happen.
That sandwich dude is pretty good written tbh
If you’re talking about the sandwich vendors, they were the worst. Everything about interacting with ingredient or sandwich vendors is soulless.
No no, I mean this one story line with that guy that makes sandwiches to cure his mastiff!
You’re right, those vendors were as soulless as my red-haired ex.
