    The plot of Pokemon is the kid bounding down the stairs the morning he turns 10 and announcing that he’s going to do all of those things and the mom is just like, “Fine. Please call sometimes.”

        If Red/Ash’s mom married Professor Oak, would he call Blue/Gary (Oak’s grandson) his stepson? Stepdad? And would Giovanni (Blue’s father) be his stepfather? Stepson?

        And why does Game Freak refuse to answer my emails?

          It would be extremely Star Wars/Everyone Important Is Related of them but I believe that it is a step sibling rivalry

      The show, yes. The game is more like the comic.

        If you actually go back to your home city there is literally nothing to do there.

        You would have thought that at some point they would have added some special item or quest that you got if you actually went back but nope. In every game of Pokémon I have ever played there is no incentive to return to your home city and talk to your mother.

        Pretty sure you can call her to leave some money with her to prevent going broke when getting wiped in battles. In some of the games at least.
