In the Pokémon games, there is always this one NPC who is very important to the protagonist, but her presence in the game is if nothing else.

This NPC character, is the protagonist’s mom. Today, I’m going to discuss with you what kind of NPC position the protagonist’s mom, is in the Pokémon games.

Mom NPC setting and development

Mom is the first NPC that you’re bound to meet in the Pokémon game, after all, she is the mother of the protagonist!

However, the positioning of this NPC in the early game is very vague, in addition to increasing the plot setting, it seems to have no other role, occasionally just to help you return to the state of the Pokémon. In the first generation, the player does not even say a word to the mother, will not hinder the progress of the game, the mother of this NPC’s existence is almost zero.

So the subsequent version, the mother of this NPC is optimized, such as gold and silver version of the mother, the game began, will explain to the protagonist of the use of Pokémon devices, and ready to go out on an adventure, but also mandatory and mother to say hello, so that she does not have to worry about it, and even help you save pocket money to help you buy things With the adventures of the mother will also help you buy a lot of interesting props. As the adventure progresses, mom will help you buy a lot of interesting props, such as decorating the room with dolls, and will occasionally call you to make porridge, the gold and silver version of the mom NPC, is considered the most versatile, but also the most impressive mom.

To the gem version, the existence of the mother again seems to become weaker, canceled the previous work of the deposit function, and the phone function, the gem version of the mother, more of a one-time reward system Prepare to go out of the house, gifted to the protagonist running shoes When the challenge is completed after the fifth daojian, it will be gifted to the body protection gold coin. Maybe it’s because of the addition of the father’s setting in the Gem version that the mom’s presence has become weaker.

And to the pearl diamond version, mom this NPC has become more full, although her function in the game, usually only to restore the Pokémon stamina, but mom actually has another identity, is the Super Gorgeous Competition in the enemy, if you often participate in the game’s Gorgeous Competition gameplay, then you will often see mom’s silhouette, and in the game, she is also a very hard to produce Power Rivals, as well as being the first mom to have her own name, her name will be known as Colorful Son in the game’s display.

Subsequent marginalized mom NPCs

After the fifth generation, the function of the mother of this NPC, seems to be slowly returned to the point of marginalization, such as black and white this work, the protagonist’s mother’s position, and the first generation of the similar to the black and white 2, although the mother of this NPC added attractions to the introduction of the function, but in fact, this setup, as early as in the gold and silver version of the inside already existed, so there is no special freshness.

After XY, the mom basically no longer has any special role, except for the beginning of the game, the plot to do a simple padding, there is nothing special. Or this is also the reason why the GF is lazy, the so-called why the gold and silver version of the mother will be impressive, in addition to help you save money, and occasionally help you buy new props, the most I remember when I was a child playing the gold and silver version of the game, when the game received a phone call from the mother of the NPC, mentioning her in the purchase of things, will be particularly excited, and can not wait to use the air magic to return home, to see what the mother and the protagonist bought what interesting furniture, it is really a kind of return to the main character! furniture, it really feels like coming home.

In the end, the mom, the NPC, whether there will be a new splash, or completely abolished, it depends on how the GF makes a choice.
