No, actually. Forgot their names, but in Pokemon X/Y Shauna comments "I've never watch fireworks alone with a boy before" if you're the male. If you're playing the female, she comments "I hope we get to become great friends" (Ouch, friendzoned). Of course Lilly is implied to have feelings for the PC in SM/USUM but there's no "dating". Klara/Avery also show feelings for the PC, but it's more respect compared to anything romantic. Finally, there's Carmine, who might've tried to confess her love, but was stopped by a phone call. I'm sure there's some in the side games, like Colosseum and Conquest, but it's been ages since I played those games so don't 100% remember any romantic feelings between anyone.

[@crossgear3042]

If i remember correctly in ORAS its implied that may/brendan have feelings for the player especially in the delta episode with your dad noticing and giving you tickets for a “date” even laughing.

I love that this little side quest is getting more attention, it's a very organic inclusion of romance (something oddly absent in the series) in Pokémon without being overt.

The closest to a subtle but well structured romance I can think off would also be in gen 5 with Lenora/Aloe and Vero; They're a plant pun the english misses, a married couple and you might have noticed they showed their love in how they refer the other, but nothing too explicit. The prize still goes to Kukui and Burnet, but that's the anime, not in-game.

[@TsukkiZaj]

I've been saying this for a long time, but I feel like now that the pokemon franchise has matured for 20+ years I feel like there should be an option to start the game as an adult and that option opens up new opportunities like romance options, something like buying a house, or increasing your reputation meter with a towns community, allowing you to step up as a gym leader or allowing npcs to challenge your champion standing. Ik alola kinda did that but we don't talk about alola.

Absolute cinema. Persona wishes it could.

[@Alexifeu]

Why I absolutely love this game, is, that you can just level up your Pokemon WITH MONEY. I always had so so so much money in these games so it was really cool that you could upgrade pokemon with Money. Now there was a daily limit but it was just a slight inconvenience nothing too crucial. But I never knew this dating thing as a kid. How should I know that that is really obscure.

[@ForestofCicadas]

I remember having such a crush on Curtis as a kid. Although it's funny that Yancy/Curtis try so hard to hide their job as an idol from you when you're literally a movie star.

[@SirIsaacFortesque]

[@SnowyOwl369]

This really just shows that voice acting would make pokemon so much better

[@claymore4852]

I honestly think it would be cool if Pokémon had something similar to Persona's social link system and I think this quest kind of proves it could work even with some mild romance thrown in. I also think Pokémon lends itself really well to a system like that, imagine you have to catch some specific, hard to get Pokemon to progress in someone's social link or you have to beat an harder version of their fight or posses certain items etc. Imho it would make many characters, especially gym leaders that don't play much of a role in the story, feel much more memorable

I'd like to point out how nice music during the ferris wheel cutscene is. It's calm, relaxing and nostalgic. Despite knowing about that sidequest and other interactions that you can experience at that location (the music is also present in the first Black and White games), until now I've never paid too much attention to it. But it's a really great and underrated tune!

[@Emerald-kun]

Black and White 2 really gave you the hardest choice right at the start. If you choose female, you get to play as Rosa. On the other hand, you won't get to see Yancy. Why can't we see both? 😭😭😭

You had me convinced there was voice acting in this game. But none the less, it is a nice little side quest to know about and a bit wholesome as well. I never played a Pokémon game so this was interesting to hear about or learn
