  &quot;Have you any interest in berries?&quot;<br>Yes.<br>&quot;Why would you lie to me?&quot;

  I&apos;ve always loved the guy who blocks your path in Oldale town because he found some strange footprints and doesnt want you to mess them up, but the poor guy realizes they are his own footprints and gets all sad about it

  I really like the Winstrate family who battle you one after another. And then you finally get to face the son in victory road.

  I also find it endearing that the Slowbro NPC is also repeating the actual sentences you get from Pokémon disobedience. It&apos;s a nice little touch of &quot;show, don&apos;t tell&quot; in the narrative and I think the games could benefit more from things like that.

  My favorite NPC has to be that Aqua grunt in Slateport waiting in the queue to the museum, and was like &quot;if I knew this would take so long, I would&apos;ve brought my Game Boy&quot;

  There is an npc who is like ‘it’s hard. What’s hard? Coming up with what to have for dinner every day’ and as a adult SHE IS SO RIGHT it is so hard 😢

  My favourite Gen 3 NPC has got to be the one who says something along the lines of &quot;Excuse me, sir. Do you know how can i get to [some Johto city]. Huh? What do you mean this isn&apos;t Johto&quot;, while he&apos;s on the Sevii Islands. Bro&apos;s so lost. 😂

  I&apos;ve just realised that the free potion is to entice you to talk to more NPCs.<br><br>It&apos;s incredibly obvious, of course, but I never thought about it.

  I think one of my favorite NPC interactions is between a delinquent and a female ace trainer in ORAS Mauville City. The delinquent is treating the ace trainer to dinner because she became an ace trainer after the delinquent said she’d treat her to dinner if the ace trainer became an ace. Then she tells the ace that it’s also a farewell dinner because the ace can’t be hanging out with her anymore, it’s not good for her image as an ace. All this and the ace is speaking with an accent similar to the delinquent’s, meaning she used to be one herself.<br><br>There’s also a male and a female triathlete in the Battle Frontier that mention they’re gonna be parents. In my headcanon they’re a couple.

  On the Hoenn cycling road, there is a guy pointing out the Rydel stickers on your bike and he just repeats &quot;Rydel. Rydel. Rydel&quot; like 20 times, that npc is iconic to me

  I remember a playground rumor about the trick master. Once he leaves his house and the note behind, you can find him somewhere else randomly on the map and he would act as a secret boss fight. I spent so long looking for that little twinkle giving away his hiding spot before i found out it wasn&apos;t true.
