Why is Dragon Tamer +/- Wisdom around a Dragon?
Viewing post in Pokémon: Pen & Paper Version comments
A sensible question. Dragons are not only among the wisest of mythical creatures, but in Pokémon they are relatively difficult to train, earning XP slower. So the idea is that Dragon Tamers must be really skilled to attune themselves to that pseudo-legendary status, and thus benefit greatly from forming a bond.
Basically, if someone can tame a freaking Dragon, they’re probably pretty smart and REALLY connected to the one they caught.
