Is pokemon the last game in the universe that has random encounters?

When will Gamefreak evolve past this archaic game mechanic?

Yeah because Sun and Moon which barely ran on the 3ds could support random pokemon running around the map for you to see and try to catch.

Get the fuck real loser.

Nope.

Reminder there is nothing inherently wrong with random encounters.

even fucking dragon quest, the franchise that prides itself on staying the same for two decades, uses visible encounters now

random encounters are shit outside of very specific games like dungeon rpgs

No.

Its probably the best Digimon game that's out there, making it a high point vs Pokemon's low point. It'd actually be pretty bad if it was worse then XYORAS.

It's the only digimon game I've played but I really enjoyed it I can't remember the monsters names for shit but I liked how the evolutions branched and how you could deevolve and stuff.

Be on the lookout for Cyber Sleuth 2 when it comes out in 2018. Dawn and Dusk are also worth emulating if you get bored and don't mind going a step backward.

There are basically two types of Digimon games, pet simulators and RPGs. the Dawn and Dusk they mentioned fall under the RPG category, alongside Cyber Sleuth.

it's not really a random encounter when you know you're only going to encounter zubats, digletts, tentacools, ratatas, pelipper and yungoos

I looked up the gameplay and it just looks so tedious with the gym thing and then your digimon having to poop or rest and how they die after a certain amount of time. Maybe I would have been okay with all of that if the combat system didn't look so bleh

So we're finally getting Crimson Mode? I'm glad they added Burst Mode as a free update later, but why was CM missing?

That bottom part is for the mobile game, Links, which I think is supposed to be like a traditional Digimon V-Pet but with Cyber Sleuth style combat for battling. I haven't played it though because my phone is total garbo.

You'll never know the bonds of raising your Digimon partner and exploring an unknown land. The loss of failing your partner as it dies. Building File City back up from the scraps. Seeing the quirky and humorous digital world. Watching as all your hard work culminates.

I fucking miss the PlayStation...

Okay so when I first played cyber sleuth I wasn't sure what to expect but all I can say is do not think of it as pokemon because the moment you do the really humanoid digimon feel really outta place

Absolutely not. They can die of old age (Which takes quite a while, but will happen inevitably) but they have 3 Hearts that only deplete when they lose a battle. When you lose all 3 they revert to a DigiEgg.

Blind should be fine.

With games like Cyber Sleuth and World Dawn/Dusk, the gameplay is more comparable to SMT.

No.

It is, however, wrong if you enjoyed DPPt or HGSS more than that game, since all gen 4 games are worse than XYORAS.

Pokemon's one of the few games where the gameplay is actually enhanced by random encounters.

It's archaic when judging on a typical RPG, but since each encounter is both a chance to level up and a chance to actually catch whatever it is, having a random element to what it is, how strong it is, what it can do, etc... makes a lot of sense. It'd be insanely hard to do this otherwise.

I hate random encounters in JRPGs, but I was always less annoyed by them in Pokemon because of how easy it is to run away from them.

I'm in the middle of playing FFVII for the first time (yes, I know) and you can't even run away from encounters like you could in the first two Final Fantasies, you have to fight each and every battle to the death.
