"Anyone else wish Pokemon games had side mission to catch pokemon to make you a little more attached to them?"

I love pokemon games but I wish pokemon games had a similar random missions system like red dead e.g. you come across a pikachu being attacked by a group of geodude or something and have to rescue him. Afterwards you get the choice to let him join you on your journey etc.I just feel a system like this would make me more attached to the pikachu I just found in some grass. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts were. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/ouVgiUe
