>>37729983>It's almost as if you are arguing with more than one person.Yeah, it's not like you haven't done this song and dance any time someone criticizes LGPE's overworld encounters.
>Yeah, as much of an obstacle as pressing A to enter the pokemon center.Anon, a door is an obstacle by nature. Remember what I said
>You need to stop thinking that challenge is necessary for obstaclesBut at the same time escaping isn't guaranteed unless you've overleveled. This is telling us a lot about what you're doing in your runs.
>Are you seriously gonna try to argue wanting an organic overworld is the same as a fucking movie?If your organic overworld is just watching their ecology then yes, it is. Mechanically it does nothing for the player and only exists for eyecandy. It can also be immersion breaking depending on how the pokemon react to you and given GF's track record they're not going to do a good job with that if they tried.
You would also end up having fixed locations for some pokemon to spawn rather than having them roam naturally.
>they don't encourage collection at all. Except they do because you can blast through encounters in rapid succession in Pokemon games using attacks like sweet scent and items like honey as well as abilities like Magnet Pull and so on. With Overworld encounters you're forced to wait for monsters to despawn or force a despawn by going over a load zone if the pokemon you want doesn't show up. It inherently doesn't allow for quick encounters.
Now lets go back to the whole immersion point, what if to maintain immersion a pokemon is designed to run from you? Abra in that regard is a pain in LGPE.
>Why not just let the player chase the pokemon they want to catch without making them spin around in circles?Exactly my point, why make them chase the pokemon in circles rather than just sweet scent or honey the area in less time?
It's like you've never played a Pokemon game before.
