There isnt personality or feelings of control in the PVP team fights. It would make it far more interesting if I could control my trainer, and maybe use abilities to heal or block damage from my illuvials, or lay down fire on enemy illuvials.
Even if it’s just being able to click where on the map my trainer can walk in order to kite enemy illuvials and better position the trainer, just that amount of control would elevate the personality of the game.
