It's no secret that people here don't like LGPE or GO bleeding into the core games in general. I don't either.
But how would you feel if later titles kept the Go-style wild captures in the form of the Safari Zone? Gamefreak have been slowly removing safari zones from their games because they're well aware that the luck-based rock/bait bullshit was zero fun. Go-style capturing seems like a perfect replacement to me, it maintains the unique charm of the safari zones but it can be made more skill-based, as opposed to being sheer luck. The safari being restricted to just a handful of pokémon means they can actually put effort into animating the pokémon, too.
