She continued: «Even if many things go wrong and [Haru] feels upset, Pokémon will always be there for her. I felt it would be wonderful to have Pokémon with me.»
Wouldn't we all?
During an Anime Expo press junket for the show, Non revealed more details and described the show as therapeutic (thanks Kotaku).
