>>40174691Battling as a mechanic hasn't been removed though. No content was replaced, they basically just shifted where you use them. Battles remain used in, you know, Pokemon Battles. Wild catching essentially uses the Safari mechanics.
Yet again, everything you claim makes up a mainline Pokemon game is in the game.
>s-starterYou know this is a yellow remake right? They even threw players a bone by adding the Eevee version, with both Pikachu and Eevee(and it's three evolutions) still available in the wild in both versions.
So it actually does still have a starter choice, with no content spared.
