Looking Back:
It's a pretty common convention in RPGs, especially Pokémon, that you can walk into anyone's house, talk to them, and they'll give you some somewhat useful information. If you think about it, it's pretty weird. If you picked a random house in real life and just walked in and said hi I don't think many people would respond with the location of the nearest hotel or advice on raising your dog. Yet in Pokémon it's perfectly normal. You'd think the townsfolk would get pretty tired having all these strange trainers walk in on them. |
