Gotta raise that affinity :/

I don’t think anyone did. I’m sure you dig deep enough you can find any ONE person complaining about anything, but this change seems entirely done by Nintendo’s own doing. No one made them, no one threatened them, no one held a gun to their head.

What Nintendo should have done was add an option to simply skip the face touching if you don’t like it/can’t be bothered to do it and just get to dialogue afterwards rather than cut it entirely.

Pokemon X and Y had this feature, why is it suddenly not okay?

BUT WHAT IS THE POINT IF I CAN’T PET THEM
