>>47712510When doing a bot match, game will wait for about 5 seconds to fill your team with human players that may fail to do so if you play at 02:00 AM on a weekday.
Then the game fills your team with bots.
Your team bots won't load any Pokemon for a while so if you get your starter mon auto-selected and nobody else has one, your team may be made of bots [it would be too much of a coincidence that everybody started with the same mon and you got priority over 4 other people].
