>>22174446Dude we are ever so slowly inching our way towards wild Pokemon not being an abstract concept and actually existing in the overworld being a common thing.
Some day we may get to the point where ALL pokemon are on the overworld and you sneak around using species-specific, Pokemon-Snap-like tricks to draw out Pokemon into the open to catch them, and NO Pokemon have to be found by walking until they are randomly created out of nothing for a battle.
