Serious question, why does anyone give a shit about the humans

i only care about the humans that are fun to battle or have an interesting backstory

Because Pokemon are nothing more than the animals of the world. You need plot, heroes, villains, side characters.

Is this really that hard to understand?

What? It's about the monsters. The human characters are simple, that makes sense considering the younger audience the series tries to keep a focus on but still. What character did you consider "well written"?

Normal people get more attached to characters with at least some hint of personality, not just a design. That's why Pokemon get really popular if there's some particular member of that species that people can attach to, like Lucario, and it's why some recent Pokemon described as having overly specific personalities for a species.

Most people are humans, so we will be drawn too and emphatize in some way with the humans in Pokemon too. If they have an interesting design, gimmick, personality quirk or backstory then that's a bonus.

Furfags, diaperfags, vorefags, and anyone that browses /trash/.

They are honestly one of the reason why I dropped pokemon.

>interesting designed characters can't be heroes
>all of this cool info from the dex can't be applied in game
>soulless self inserts can be and bullshit copypaste character s too

because I like the design of the human characters

I only care about their designs, almost all of them have the personality of wet cardboard. The designs are actually a pretty big deal for me, I usually try to make my multiplayer-based game for each gen one with the protagonist design I like the most, and also make my multiplayer trainer class the one I like the most.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is able to experiment more with giving their cast more personality, due to having more dialogue and cutscenes, but even there, a lot of them tend to be one-dimensional. If Pokemon were a VN series then there'd probably be a way to give the cast (human or Pokemon) more of a personality, but that also sacrifices gameplay.

I'm only here for the Pokémon.
When there are no reveals, I suffer.
