I'm really excited to interact with Cheren, this is going to be so much fun... especially with how harsh N was when talking about Cheren to the protag in chargestone cave, even if he doesn't think like that anymore I don't think he'd quite know what to think about Cheren, and I can't wait to see how it turns out

Yeah, that's sort of what I think, too! N wandered around Unova when he was first let out, so I don't doubt he knows them... especially since in a way they both had the potential to be heroes and all?
