>>515858935 trainers actually, with more than just normal type mons
>Your rival>Youngster Joey >the other Youngster >The bug catcher with 2 caterpies>The bug catcher with 3 caterpies and a weedle All that, coupled with all the wild mons you will have fought by then are more than enough to introduce the player to battling. By your logic all early gameplay in any game is a tutorial because it introduces the player to what they’ll be doing for the rest of the game, but where does it end? After the first battle? The second? The third? Is route 32 a tutorial? Is union cave a tutorial? Whitney is the first trainer to use a miltank I guess she’s a tutorial for how to battle miltank.
Oh wait, none of that shit is a tutorial because that’s not what a tutorial is. A tutorial is something that’s meant to TEACH something specific. So anon, what does sprout tower teach?
Or maybe you should, idk, “Just accept that you are wrong on the internet, who the fuck cares, you're anonymous”?
