Could Pokemon benefit from a Persona-like Social Link feature?

Yeah it would, Game Freak would have to find an easy wait to do it because if they feel that the mechanic or system is too complicated, they're not going to do it. Pokemon is like an entry level rpg so they want to maintain things simple. But this would add more depth for sure!

I feel like there are ways to keep it simple. I don't think that the interations nessecarily need to be complex. Just their inclusion is enough to make the Pokemon feel real. Something as simple as making a sassy Pokemon turn it's nose up at an opponent before battle would be enough. Just something that makes you remember your Pokemon for more than their species.

it would be cool if they do it like Ash in the anime, he has a lot of Pokemons but his relationship with Pikachu, charizard, etc is special and they act like real characters.
