I dont get it. Zubat is awesome

>>33450066
Zubat is fine. But it's usually the most common Pokemon in caves, so it's basically the icon for unwanted, unnecessary random encounters

>dungeons are often caves
>too many Zubat are in caves
>solution: remove dungeons and kill exploration
>not a solution: increase the variety of potential encounters in caves and reduce the amount of Zubat/Golbat

You know, Pokemon dungeons really aren't that good. Sure they're better than a straight line, or nothing in the case of Vela, but they're nothing great by RPG standards. Almost none of the puzzles are particularly interesting. The level design is rarely complex enough that just figuring out where to go is particularly interesting. And random encounters are more of a tedious pain in the ass than pretty much any other JRPG, you get very little from fighting them, and you can easily ignore them with Repels. Actually if they could somehow fix just the random encounters then even the Gen I and II era dungeon design would probably be good enough, but...

Puxxles! How do they work?

why do so many people get mad at cave encounters
Just buy repels it's not fucking hard

>>33450084
It's also the most commonly found nonscrpited Shiny people find due to encounter rate and encounter ratio.

I could write almost the same thing about story lines in this franchise.
Shitty storylines are not an adequate replacement for shitty dungeons...

>spending money on something that can be done manually by clicking run instead of something with innate value

this is why you'll always be poor lmao

>>33450124
>saving time
>no value

>>33450124
How do you even run out of money in Pokemon anyway? There's enough shit on the ground to last you until the elite 4 and probably even after them

>>33450117
Why you hate Pokémon stories?

>>33450145
terrible writing and pacing

>>33450145
Not him, but instead of adding anything to the gameplay stories do the exact opposite.

>>33450145
I think they need to find a better balance. Pokemon can and should have plot and story. Gen 1 was my least favorite because it felt pointless with no plot. As a character your adventure isn't interesting, you're just doing stuff because the game itself wants you to, not because characters you can care about want you to. Gen 5 solved this the best with a more consistently present plot, that still wasn't overly intrusive like Gen 7. I hope we get more games like Gen 5.

Mediocre to shit-tier writing and generally inhibits gameplay

>>33450115
I wish I could find one.
