this seems like a genuinely good compromise, the '!' stuff lets them have more encounters and keeps the sense of randomness for people who like it and the overland stuff keeps things...good and fun :colbert:

For real though my like one genuine want for this gen after Let's Go was 'no more random encounters' and they did it, 10/10 would Wooloo again.

Idea for a Pokemon villain: Someone who's trying to hack the Pokemon computer network to release everyone's boxed Pokemon. If you lose the end game battle with him all your boxed Pokemon get released and the game autosaves.

The region is based on the UK, isn't it? It would make sense to include corgis as they're the Queen's pet.

Pick Scorbun, and switch your protectiveness over to Wooloo, who's also seeking stability in its life

I will never log offshut up.


If Sobble's final form is James Chameleon I can't pick anything else. I'm hoping Grooky goes more Business Gorilla but it'll probably be Taiko so how can anything stop the powerhouse that is Sobble?

wandering enemies on the map that you touch to trigger a random encounter have been industry standard for something like 15 years, it's as traditional as step-based random encounters at this point. It's actually kind of astonishing it took pokemon this long to catch up

The only modern JRPGs I can think of that still use random battles are the Bravely series, Octopath Traveller and the Etrian Odyssey games. All of those are trying to be old school so it makes sense.

Even Dragon Quest ditched random encounters. When DQ is being more modern than a series chances are something is up with that series.

Good point, I think Octopath has the same option? Also EO has an icon that tells you how soon the next random encounter will be, which again is better than what Pokemon has been doing till now.

Unfortunately there is no such option in Octopath. One of the classes has a passive that reduces them but you can never turn them off completely.
