Now your Pokemon doesn't get any fucking experience for the fight that might have taken a long time for all anyone knows. This situation is literally unavoidable unless you train your Pokemon in underleveled areas of the game. I literally can't train my level 20 Pokémon against level 20 wild Pokemon because of this bullshit.
Or how about this?
>New wild pokemon!
>Alright, I'm gonna catch it; I gotta be careful to bring it's HP just down to the red
>Aaaaaand THERE, finally ready to throw the pokeball
>X called for help!
>Wild Y appeared!
>"You can't catch your Pokemon now just because we say so deal with it"
Or how about
>Kill pokemon X
>Next turn, click through to use your attack
>The game defaults you to select the blank spot where the dead pokemon was
>You used A! ...It failed!
Is this the worst implemented battle mechanic in the history of Pokémon games?
Does gamefreak even play test?

It's a Google search image. I can't figure out how to upload screenshots of this game to Miiverse.

I actually wished more pokemon would call for help when I played. They only called but very rarely, and I think I can count on one hand the number of times something actually showed up.

How fucking casual do you need to be to train your pokemon at lvl 20? You're going to get so overleveled if you're still in the main game just wait till post-game OP

The concept behind the system is fine. What isn't fine is that they decided to implement it using RNG, so when you're trying to catch something you get stuck in infinite call for help loops, but when you need them to call for help so you can get shinies, 6IVs or Pokémon that only appear via SOS, they just sit there in the red for turn after fucking turn not calling.

>Your Pokémon fainted!
that's your own fault, get better pokemon
>This situation is literally unavoidable
wrong. status ailments prevent pokemon from calling for help.
>UGH but that means I have to carry a useless status move on my team!!!!!!
it's not useless if it keeps you out of situations like this
>finally ready to throw the pokeball
>X called for help!
status move
>The game defaults you to select the blank spot where the dead pokemon was
>You used A! ...It failed!
except that doesn't happen. even if you use a move on the empty slot, it still hits. stop lying.
all in all, fuck off
