If there is one outcome, remove the guise of control. Have my character speak for me. I don’t fucking care. I’d rather feel like my character is doing or saying something I wouldn’t personally do than for me to be given a fucking pop-up that means nothing and is just there to reinforce a self-insert facade. At least make a bit out of it if you’re gonna do it. It’s genuinely one of the worst pieces of game design outside of legitimately predatory behavior.

    Or just let us go into the bushes and get attacked by a pidgey, then wake up in the professor's lab where he's like i-told-you-dog

      The Skyrim opening screen displays, and suddenly the game turns into Skyrim instead of Pokémon.
