So was it laziness or time constraints as to why your character displayed zero emotion outside of the high quality cutscenes.

>>31912989
It's always laziness nowadays.

Literally fucking copy his animation

Actually, the player's face only changes for a split second after defeating Mother Beast Lusamine and summoning the box legend.
Even then, it goes from :^) to :^|

I miss Lillie
She was cute and innocent and made me realize that no amount of pokewaifu petting simulators would ever be as good as a human gf

>>31912989
Your character is mentally disabled. The game makes a lot more sense viewed through that lens

What's wrong with that?
It would've been a bit nicer if they made you wave or something, but the smile wasn't that bad.

>>31913058
your character also goes :^o when you first see Nihilego in the Aether Paradise

He's fucking glad that annoying broad is gone for hopefully good.

>>31912989
They want you to imagine whatever you want on the MC.

>>31913417
Then why not give us the fucking options to react

>>31913427
Why do it? They could give hundreds of button combos for different faces and still not capture every player's reaction perfectly. An even mediocre imagination would suffice far better.

>>31913417
That's bullshit. There are so many JRPGs that do this so much better. I can't project anything onto that dumb, blank smile.

It'd have been better if the game was in over-the-shoulder third person and you could never see the MC's face, that's how bad this is.

>>31912989
>laziness
No. They made every other character having more facial expressions, a single extra character would be no work at all.

The reason is the same as why protagonist doesn't speak. To leave it up to your imagination. You're supposed to assume the protagonist has whatever expression you want them to have. This isn't a Pokemon-only problem. A lot of other RPGs like Dragon Quest doesn't have the player show a lot of emotions on their face. To leave it up to the imagination of the player. That's the entire point of having a silent protagonist.
