Does he call? Asking for a concerned mom.

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.

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.

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.
