Ehh, I guess... but I like it, kind of. it's silly and adorable. And if you think about it, they didn't change any code of the game other than the sprites. So, Technically, it's still as lighthearted as the previous game was. You aren't shoving monsters into pokeballs to "catch them all" now. I'm not saying that I know what the modders were thinking when they did this, I'm just trying to tell you not to start trying to start a crusade to "burn the witch" over this. Let it be what it is. cute.
And I respect your decision and reasoning of this aswell as your opinion of the game.
