So how hard do you guys think it is to catch pokemon? The games make it look like you can just walk out into a park and bring back a dozen of the suckers before nightfall but most trainers only have between 2 and 4.
I mean I guess it could just be that those are the only pokemon that they use or that they use in their battle with you. Kind of like how I assume Gym Leaders have dozens of pokemon at different levels that they switch out and use depending on their opponent.
I personally like to think that catching pokemon is a bit harder. Whether it's because pokeballs don't work as well 'in universe', it's just much harder to hit a pokemon with them or what. Maybe pokemon just aren't as common as the games represent? I mean in the anime how often does Ash and co get accosted by whenever they walk through some tall grass?
Anyway, what do you guys think about it?
