The plot of Pokemon is the kid bounding down the stairs the morning he turns 10 and announcing that he’s going to do all of those things and the mom is just like, “Fine. Please call sometimes.”
If you actually go back to your home city there is literally nothing to do there.
You would have thought that at some point they would have added some special item or quest that you got if you actually went back but nope. In every game of Pokémon I have ever played there is no incentive to return to your home city and talk to your mother.
If Red/Ash’s mom married Professor Oak, would he call Blue/Gary (Oak’s grandson) his stepson? Stepdad? And would Giovanni (Blue’s father) be his stepfather? Stepson?
And why does Game Freak refuse to answer my emails?

Stole the plot of Earthbound I see.
Does he call? Asking for a concerned mom.
Pretty sure you can call her to leave some money with her to prevent going broke when getting wiped in battles. In some of the games at least.

She is literally the first doctor you have available to your Pokémons and allows for early grind
You also get fast boots!
2nd gen also had her call you sometimes telling you she used the money you saved up on some trinket.
Art imitating life
The show, yes. The game is more like the comic.
Then his single mom starts spends an inordinate amount of time hanging out with the Pokémon professor…

It would be extremely Star Wars/Everyone Important Is Related of them but I believe that it is a step sibling rivalry
Don’t forget Mr. Mime…
Bow chica wow wow…
