"[discussion] if the game had poke centres but required you weaken wild pokemon via battles before capture would the game be more fun?"

#PokemonGO: in the original games the majority of pokemon you encountered would start a battle and when you weakened them they got easier to catchthis added a little bit of strategy and interactivity to the games that flicking the ball just doesnt replicate such as trying to get the pokemons hp really low or not just bringing a max level charizard in to battle to fight low level trashit also made it so you could use a much wider variety of pokemon than you would otherwise as even a rattata was fine for fighting other rattatas and pidgeys via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2qfstUu
