Ahhh, well that's true. I guess I should stop worrying so much!
[Although Kanto's rapid modernization and pursuit of technology in the last decade or two had overtaken much of the culture of the region, it still peeked through in its own ways. But it wasn't like Johto, where- with perhaps the exception of Goldenrod- most of the traditional buildings still outnumbered the newer ones in most towns.]
[Despite that, people's mindsets hadn't totally modernized either- or globalized. And Blue thought that was the real shame that kept things held back... But it just went to show- like with the new Alolan Champ- that the younger generations were open to changing things.]
Are we that important?
[The corner of his mouth curls- although maybe it was hard to tell whether he was poking fun, or playing at self-aware devil's advocate.]
...Maybe you're right. [Blue hums, chin in hand.] I've been stopped here by a few younger trainers from other regions. But no one I knew, other than you.
Even weirder is the people I've met that don't know what Pokémon are. What do you think is going on around here, exactly? A Legendary Pokémon messing around seems like the most obvious answer, but that doesn't explain how weird everything else is about this place.
