You can beat it down but the game thinks you're too weak to capture it

Wow.

I guess that's how they handle the "Higher level traded Pokemon won't obey you without badges" thing?

It makes sense. Being able to have a level 28 in a part of the game that is normally ten levels lower than that would be broken.

Literally in gen 1 you could catch a level 32(?) Dugtrio before your third badge.

Edit: 29 or 31. Lv 32 one is in Crystal which is no big deal at that point.

The sneasel kicks you in the balls and steals all your money, then Nurse Joy laughs at you.

The game should be balanced to where you are exactly the level you need to be for the areas you can access. If you're able to get to a level 50 Zone at a level 28, and beat that level 50 down, you should be able to capture it. Now, they could lock the items required to make capturing easier behind your level, like Ultra Balls being level 35 up, but outright denying you the ability to capture them?

they should simply have wild pokemon levels scale with you, at least in certain areas.

maybe create a item that allows you to encounter the lowest lv pokemon only, and highest level pokemon only

is there more info on this or just this one picture and people overreacting? being in the 20's and not being able to catch a mon a few levels over you seems weird and suspect, unless the range is 5+

It's a badge restrictiveness that doesn't take your party's level into account. So you could overlevel your team and be unable to capture weaker mons

I'm assuming it's a badge related thing instead. Like levels above x wouldn't obey in battle until you get the badge necessary.

You can catch Nidoran Male outside of Viridian City, and it evolves into Nidorino at Level 16 (perfectly accomplishable before Cerulean City). You can also find at least two Moon Stones in Mt. Moon.

I can basically guarantee you it is against the TOS of any major streaming service to stream games illegally obtained, before the street date.

This was my first thought. But like really, if you're able to survive and weaken a pokemon to a catchable state, you should be allowed to catch it. Maybe lower the catch rates for stronger pokemon until you get badges, but being flat out denied the opportunity is fucked.

There's actually laws that prevent people from doing that. It's also why early access playing for some games still means people can't stream.

Heck, in all but maybe 2 gens, you can find high level versions of the starter route Pokemon later on. They still have the same catch rate and don't even need to be weakened, it's already like a 60 or higher/256 chance at full health.

You cant control it though without the proper number of badges so it doeasnt matter. The option should still be there though.

No, it doesn't make sense, you massive apologist. What a terrible point of view. If you, as a trainer, are skilled enough to weaken and capture a Pokemon, you should be able to. If you're worried that would break the game, bear in mind a player who is able to capture Pokemon at that level is likely going to steamroll a gym at that level too.

That only applied to traded pokemon, but they easily could have applied it wild pokemon as well
