Do pokemon like having stories read to them? Because my friend’s team seems weirdly fascinated whenever she pulls out a book.

Absolutely! Pokémon thrill at practically any sort of interaction between themselves and their trainers. Having their trainer sit down and read to them just means a long, quiet period where they can rest and relax in the company of their favorite humans.

(Some pokémon can’t even understand what you’re reading to them, and it doesn’t even matter.)
