It's so ingrained that they can't not do it now. If their intention in S/M was to make it so it can't so easily be spammed, then they were fighting a fruitless battle because RPG fans will always circumvent that if they so desire. If it were me, I would've made it more time based, where you can only pet them every hour, or rather you get the best results after one hour. There could be alternatives, though. I missed being able to pet them after a battle, but given how much the refresh triggers, that was probably moot. I guess there really isn't much I would change as I just want to care for my pokemon, but the real criticism I have is beans. There aren't enough. True, it becomes trivial the instant you unlock Pelago, but before then, it's easy to run out of beans. I think it would've been better if you could just buy the beans, it would've been better than the super annoying hint system that is useless if you've played a pokemon game before anyway, and even if you haven't, they explained most of this junk already.
