Hot take: Kamado gets treated by the fandom the way Volo should’ve, and Volo gets treated waaaay too kindly than he ever deserves.
There’s evidence that shows Kamado was a genuinely good guy who made one misguided mistake and then tries anything to make up for it, and there’s evidence that Volo’s is a predatory psychopath without any evidence suggesting otherwise.
Sure Volo’s hotter, but pokemon fans genuinely need to stop acting like Kamado kills babies in his spare time and Volo was being quirky and “just having a silly moment lol”.
Kamado had a wife. It’s implied she died due to Pokemon. He lost his entire hometown due to Pokemon. Then when he tries to keep his new town (family) safe from creatures that ruined his life, some kid comes along and acts like his trauma isn’t valid or reasonable. But when he realizes that exiling that child was a bad thing to do, he apologizes, regrets his actions, and tries to do anything to make up for it (and even gives them a plate which is partially a key to going back home).
Volo is, from what we know, a guy with a god complex who had stated he would kill a child for a chance to meet god, let alone attempt to kill it. Not to mention the fact that, if he existed in the modern day, a LOT of his behavior would be seen as predatory since he’s acting this way towards a character who is confirmed to be underage.
So sure, you can hate Kamado and think Volo’s hot, but Kamado is definitely the better person of the two, and I’m tired of people saying how horrible he is when he’s an extremely justified man.

PLA boys taking care of you when you're sick
Adaman
the moment you feel something coming on, he’s insistent that you rest
he’ll continuously be warming soup for you
oh how he worries
but he puts on a smile and takes care of you to the best of his ability
he asks Mai to take on some of his duties/tasks so he can be with you at all times, and she’s happy to do so
but not before a slight argument about it
the cuddling will be nonstop
and you bet his and your Pokémon will be joining in
he keeps you SO warm
the forehead kisses are constant
he’ll even read/share bedtime stories with you if you’re willing to listen
anything you need, he’s on it
and once you feel better, he’s resuming his leadership duties
but he’s not taking his focus away from you
he’s got you by his side
“And don’t think for a moment that I’m gonna stop pampering you because you’re better… because I’m not.”
Volo
Volo is very much a wanderer
but when you’re sick, he’s staying put
he hates to see you in such a dreadful state
and he can’t bear to leave you until you’re feeling better
while you nap, he’s out collecting herbs and medicinal leeks
he’ll make your favorite soup
and he’ll hand feed it to you
he’s a deranged; touch starved lunatic, so you bet he’s holding you at all times
his Arcanine will be your pillow (and your heat source)
and Togekiss is your entertainment
while he’s searching for herbs and leeks, he’ll also be hunting for little trinkets for you
because his poor, sick s/o has to have something special
this man has an ABUNDANCE of stories to share with you
and he’ll share ALL OF THEM, even if you don’t ask
once you’re feeling better, he’ll pack up and head out
you WILL be getting a kiss on the cheek (or lips) before he departs
“I’ll be back soon, y/n. If you start feeling ill again, I’ve left the recipe for the soup I made on the table.”
Melli
you’re sick, and Melli does NOT like that
he distances himself from you
and not just because of how gross you sound
but he’s TERRIFIED of getting sick himself
he’ll speak to you through letters delivered by Pokémon
and they’re very sweet letters
but once Adaman finds out that he’s ‘too good’ to take care of you…
you can hear that scolding from across the Diamond Clan settlement
Melli will slowly approach you
and he’s absolutely disgusted
you can 10000000% tell that smile is forced
but once he settles in
he’s trying his best to help you
he’s hesitant to cuddle with you
but he assumes there’s no other choice
and once he feels how hot you are, he holds you a little tighter
since he’s here, he may as well be close to you
he apologizes for being rude, something he would NEVER do for anyone else
and he’ll send Pokémon to Adaman to request recipes for soups
you’ll probably end up making them yourself, though, because Melli can’t cook at all
he’ll learn eventually
once you start feeling better, Melli does indeed get sick
because he’s always running from illness, his immune system is a bit weaker
but you’re there for him regardless
“Can I have some soup?”
