>>33240486maybe, but you aren't forced to have sudowoodo as your first encounter. or snorlax, for that matter. i don't see a problem with denying actual forced first-route encounters like the ones you mentioned, but ehh. considering how horribly close sudowoodo got to claiming a kill and how low its catch rate is it doesn't feel like i'm cheesing anything. in fact, one of the fan favourite clauses (dupes clause) that makes catches more "random" can easily be used to cheese the game and guarantee great encounters but that's a different topic.
