>>37293625Battling is just a motivation for the catching, collecting and completing the dex is the real "core" of things and almost always the reason you're sent out on your adventure to begin with, not just some stupid "I wanna be the strongest trainer ever" bullshit.
But I don't even know why I'm arguing with you over this because I still think removing battling from the games is retarded like most other people ITT. Even if you can enjoy Pokémon without giving a shit about it, it's still something people like to do, including myself.
