It isn't, but this has to be remedied. I'll be teaching Masaomi how to give orders, how to understand what a Pokémon experiences in battle, and how to apply the strategies that Silver has taught him. There's a good variety of exercises, but in most cases I will train him as I was trained, which is having him fight Pokémon himself. That is how a Trainer knows how involved he must be, and how he realizes how important his words are in a battle. The commands should be as natural as though he were the one fighting, instead of the Pokémon doing it out of favor to him.
