Thanks for contributing to the Pokémon Crystal Archipelago project!

What does this add?

A phone trap.

Why do you want it to be added?

Because it's funny (imo).

Was this tested yet?

No.

It's kinda hard to read that it's a dialogue imo, it'd help if there was a leading hyphen when the speaker changes or even a <player>: when "you" are meant to talk

otherwise very funy

Sir?… Could you

Semi-related to my previous comment (since lines will take up more space), I usually avoid making an entirely new paragraph just for the final word or 2 of a previous paragraph
Something the vanilla game does a lot with its dialogue is have two 2-liners instead of a 3-liner + 1-liner

My trouble with <player>: is that it breaks the player being a silent protagonist. I implemented it, and I do think it improves it, but maybe we change it for someone else?

Sure, but considering this is meant to be a conversation and you're the callee it doesn't really make sense to be anything else
Honestly considering how ridiculous this phone trap is, it feels fitting that it would be the one:tm: to break the rules

Hi, sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I talked with the team and we won't allow the "player voice" in Phone Calls. We even edited it out of a previous one. You could change it so we only hear one side of the convo like this:

Hi! Can I speak to Champ?

Yeah, Champ. You don't know who champ is?

Well, that question WILL BE ANSWERED THIS SUNDAY NIGHT WHEN JOHN CENA....

What are your thoughts on this?

I think I'll replace the player lines with just ellipses. It's significantly worse when edited this way, though.
