>>40090341>By progressing past the reliance of severely dated gameplay mechanics?There is no such thing as a dated game mechanic except from children and mental invalids who don't comprehend that different games having different playstyles are good thing and that not everything has to be the same.
By your logic we might as throw out games entirely because all of them are dated mechanics.
Furthermore, you obviously haven't played Trash Go to know that even if they were good Game Freak aren't competent enough to do them right. In part because in this case even having the option doesn't work. It needs to be one or the other and that one is pure REs.
You're still just getting random encounters, only now they're more annoying because they can encounter you which is just a nuisance.
Use a Repel? Now you can't get the other random encounters either even if they both exist. It's garbage that doesn't belong in Pokémon and if you disagree it just means you don't actually like Pokémon because you want it to be something that it doesn't have any need to be.
To be fair this kind of mentality is what's driving the game industry, but someone else being retarded doesn't absolve you of your lack of mental capacity.
