focus punch seems to work like generation 3 except you dont lose focus if hit, and it seems to cause flinching
one of the trainers had a beedrill with poison
fang which hit pretty hard
also encountered some other trainers with high level pokemon 14, 15 etc.
in the interest of seeing if it was a bug i did battled some more wild pokemon, and tm 09 dropped, fake out.
this unironically a cool mechanic.
pikachu learned quick attack
and at the end of a route is a tsundere lass with jigglypuff.
its just a straight line, the route.
