People play pokemon for the story? Is this like someone that reads Playboy for the articles?

Not always for the overarching main plot, but a lot of the games have decently written characters. The main story of Ruby/Sapphire is pretty dumb (let’s flood the entire world!/let’s get rid of all of the ocean!) but Wally is a pretty fun character to watch grow.
It’s kinda the beauty of the franchise. There’s a lot for everyone. I mostly play because I’m a completionist who wants to complete the Dex, some people want to shiny hunt their favorites, some people want to get into competitive (and even then there’s tiers/which gens you play, which are all vastly different strategically), and sometimes it’s just to see all of the different character designs.
Reading Playboy for the articles was 100% legit btw. They published stories by Arthur C Clarke, Kurt Vonnegut, Ray Bradbury…
