>>38878846>Overworld pokemon walking around changes nothing about the core gameplay,Except for the fact that I have to go out of my way to interact with specific Pokemon instead of running in circles and passively waiting for RNG to throw bullshit onto my lap.
Except for the fact that I can navigate water and cave routes without having 15 second long interruptions every few steps.
Except for the fact that I now I have to do things like sneak up behind Abra to encounter it instead of just waiting for RNG to bring it up to me.
Except for the fact that I now have to run away from Pokemon chasing me instead of just clicking the run button.
Anyone who thinks "overworld encounters changes nothing about the core gameplay" probably hasn't actually played LGPE. It's easily the biggest change to the series since gen 1.
>>38878861>It does, the entire metagame is different now,The entire metagame changes every generation. This isn't anything unique about what Fairy type did.
Do you think Tapu existing is also a "big gameplay change" because terrains are actually used now? I'm honestly curious.
>but it's silly to ignore a new typeWhat's actually silly is to pretend this new type is a bigger change than OW encounters.
