>complain on /vp/ instead of looking up if there is a particular mechanic that stops it from calling for help

it doesn't even make sense that you can't catch a pokemon if there's more than one

what if i don't give a shit which one i catch and just want this shit to go back to being a single battle?

You can always go with staryu and evolve it. You can find them pretty easily and early.
