>>41965804Ok, "Forced" is the wrong term, but it's still a hand out that is unsubtlely dropped onto the player and provides no real learning experience.
>>41965907I feel like the Monkeys are already seen as unimportant to the players and I fee like if the player sees the monkey in the grass it will trigger the memory of the fact that they lost to it or a similar looking one and want to catch it. Since in the players mind Monkey=Strong.
The NPC is just off the top of my head and I wasn't really thinking about a cutscene as much as three sentences tops. It would only be encountered if the player lost since the first gym in this rework isn't a mandatory loss just difficult.
Like I said there are better solutions and I want something that the player needs to be able to on there own. Something they learn by doing themselves.
