>>40403672>only one person needs to catch a Pokemon in a Max Raid for every participant to get itBest fucking news right here. I was worried that only one person in a MRB can catch the wild Pokemon, but if it can be shared across all four Pokemon, it definitely incentivizes going through with these battles.
>Some Pokemon can only be found through random encounters, which can be triggered in any patch of grass. You'll know the encounter is coming because of the exclamation point but you won't know what Pokemon it isTechnically all of these are "random encounters" as they are governed by probability, but having hidden encounters is nice.
>You start with Pokeballs in your bag so you can catch a Pokemon before getting the tutorial to flex on HopGood news. SM's weakness is that you couldn't catch anything until you complete the first fucking 15 minutes of shit. This game rectifies that and makes catching the actual goal.
>You can access your PC from the menu while you're in the Wild AreaNot surprised. Wild Area is big, and you wouldn't have access to a Pokemon Center. It also helps partially with training, I guess.
>>40403994They probably lock you out of catching Pokemon way above your level to avoid just breezing the game with it. Each badge probably makes that cap go up a bit higher each time. You can't catch Level 26 Vespiquen at first without any badges, for instance.
