>>33144320Teaching kids to get better at mental math tricks can only be a good thing, and I fail to see how "being new to the series" means you're somehow automatically a retarded with numbers.
>>33144380Yeah mean, you know what? You're totally right. Besides OPs suggestion, let's implement a pop-up for every tile that shows you every possible Pokemon that can appear in the area, as well as the unique encounter rate for the sub-pixel that you're occupying. Oh, and while we're at it, let's include an in-battle prompt that occurs whenever you're afflicted with a status condition and gives you the full explanation of what it does, how many turns it lasts, whether it's volatile or not, and how to use an item to get rid of it.
And who could POSSIBLY forget making the random number generator persistently visible so players can understand why enemy trainers and wild Pokemon use the moves they do at certain times, as well as a lookup table of all seeds and the patterns they lead to.
Gee, thank God we have you here to SIMPLIFY the game of Pokemon for all the poor hapless players out there who would just never be able to accomplish anything if it weren't for you to suggest all these hand-holding countermeasures! :)
