>smeargle this earlywtf that's op because uuuuh it can use any move
this is the type of stuff that would cause people without self restraint to whine to the developer about mildly overpowered stuff being usable by the player while being entirely optional, and begging for the dev to take away good things from them
reminds me of that strange purple fish from another game, I wonder if it ever recovered from an incident like the one I described
>>54597983I'm pretty sure that's just to avoid having to do trial and error stuff with 3 different fishing rods per location; so it took the gen 7 approach of merging fishing rods into one item
the same NPC said that fishing encounters are different based on where you fish
