Calwings 09/14/19 4:28:14 PM #8:	The fact that Pokemon is a game based around collecting the random enemies you face and not simply defeating them to level up makes random encounters feel more appropriate for this series compared to something like Final Fantasy.

DoomSwell 09/14/19 5:40:49 PM #14:	So... some games have it where you can see a generic sprite but the in-battle enemies are still random, I still consider those random battles, is just something I wanna say first. I don't care either way randos are just as fine as generic sprites. That said; I like how Pokemon ONLY has battles IN grass or caves, with walkways to avoid most of it. And you're battling for new party members, not just levels; OR you can fight trainers for double experience. It's basically all about the quality of life features. --- http://www.backloggery.com/doomswell <cite>DoomSwell posted [p:927438732] in It's astou...

slmcknett 09/15/19 6:23:20 PM #25:	Pokemon random encounters have never been an issue, since you're supposed to be looking for Pokemon. Plus, there's pathways you can take around the grass, and Repels to use if you don't wanna fight (or if you're in a cave or out at sea). I guess overworld models isn't the worst thing in the world, but Pokemon games have become too handholdy for me recently. --- https://imgur.com/1LrhmQE Kari Wahlgren: "Guys, I just can't wrap my mouth around it." <cite>slmcknett posted [p:927484262] in It's astou...
