if gamefreak decided 4 pokemon was a good limit, you'd have "you can't shower 6 pokemon with love and care they need" instead
you could find multiple arguments for 6 pokemon party limit, but some crop from manga isn't one
There would be no way to keep any semblance of balanced levelling if you had a party larger than 6 short of giving out outrageous EXP or making battles either too easy or too hard. Six is fine, if it ain't broke, don't fucking break it.
Fun fact, during 2nd gen they actually thought about increasing the amount of Pokemon you could have at one time. They of course decided against it but a page from a manga wouldn't had stop them if they did.

But I already do that.
Most of the time I have a HM slave that I just carry around.

We don't speak about Yellow anon.
>implying i give a fuc about any of the members in my party and they aren't there to fulfill a role as a tool

Keeping them in box surely proves your love more. Stupid explanation.
>>24629739
So all the ones in the box are fucked?
I always thought 1 Pokemon at a time or 6 Pokemon on hand where just for official trainer battles. I see no reason one couldn't just sick his whole team on a wild Pokemon or carry more than 6.

Box mind

Wasn't that from gen 3? Heard they wanted to give them more attacks too.

To be honest, I think five is a better number of Pokemon. In newer games where you aren't required to carry HM slaves, I never have a reason to have more than 5 Pokemon.
