First Impression from starting the game today: Cyllene is a deeply immoral character
Hi I just started playing this game but can't shake the feeling that Cyllene is kind of a horrible person. I understand the need and want to protect your village in a world where outsiders are rare and pokemon can kill, but I don't think this justifies saying "If you don't prove your worth, we will indirectly kill you by letting your starve or not sheltering you from killer pokemon." She herself says the main character looks 15 or so. I know that would be considered an adult by this time (or at least close) but still a young adult. And she understands that you are not familiar with the area/land of Hisui because you obviously don't belong. You start out the game with no pokemon, fairly skinny, (no muscle) and with no weapon. so you pose no threat to mostly anybody. Why does nobody keep Cyllene in check and say "hey, this child/young adult by this time is obviously not a threat, you can at least keep her fed somewhat for a few days and teach them how to hunt and stuff." But no, she's just protective and secretly cares about you. What a JOKE. There is no justification for letting the main character die in the woods to god knows what. She only cares about who can benefit her and her people. If I was in the main character's situation and I failed the beginning trial where you catch 3 pokemon, I would say "If I am to be exiled, then may I have just one request: Cyllene, say that you are a bad person and are fine with letting people die who do not benefit you and your ILK."
But im really enjoying the game and the catching, will keep playing ^^
