"Unpopular Opinion: The changed wild encounters are a straight-up improvement from the main-series games."

For the first time playing a pokemon game, I dont dread the tall grass.Instead of rolling the dice and hoping I'm not stopped by a random encounter every 5 steps, I actively seek out the pokemon I want.Access to the PC box from anywhere is AMAZING. this combined with the catch combo feature makes it so satisfying to just catch and catch and catch.removing the combat from wild encounters puts more emphasis on the trainer battles, and because I'm rewarded XP for catching, I dont have to constantly be battling wild pokemon to level up.also, the catch mechanics are spectacular. making it a mini-game instead of a dice roll adds so much more excitement to the game.Hoping to see this system return in generation 8. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2zgqiGO
