Jim Sterling shilling thread:

All I'm saying is not a single one of these creatures suggests hurting each other for the amusement of their captors once humans are out of the picture. It turns out that when left to their own devices, all they do is make each other happy.

I felt it with New Pokémon Snap and I feel it now with Pokopia. Making Pokémon happy makes *me* happy... which makes me question the series' focus on battling.
