Does this apply to any random Pokemon that you find? Or just the more powerful roaming Pokemon???

from what i've gathered, you're physically incapable of throwing pokeballs at stuff above a certain level unless you have enough badges

Its beyond retarded. Your literally just wasting your time encountering it. You could fight it for xp but why the fuck would you need to do that when you are already over leveled.

Not even letting you throw a ball makes no sense.
They should let you catch them but make them disobey you until your team reach the Pokemon's level

Except they started taking out the pokemon. And the catching.

Its not equivalent at all. With obedience levels you can at least capture them and then hold onto them until theyre properly usable. What are people supposed to do when they find a shiny? Screenshot it and kill it?

It's at most 12 levels higher which is not a massive leap.

they should've just lowered the catch rate instead of making it impossible to catch at all, if i ran into a shiny before i'm done with the story and i'm not able to catch it because i need a badge i'd be pissed

Yeah. There is a level cap for wild Pokemon you can catch, and it is based on badges.

So far:
0 badges: Up to Level 20
1 badge: Up to Level 25
2 badges: Up to Level 30
3 badges: Up to Level 35

This streamer only had a single badge when he encountered that Sneasel, so he could not catch anything above Level 25.

Wild Area also has stuff that is leveled just above certain caps to fuck with players, such as a Level 36 Snorlax you could encounter after 3 badges but you cannot catch.

If it's an open world game, what's stopping players from traveling to areas with overpowered pokemon and then using said pokes to crush the underleveled gym leaders. In Breath of the Wild, if you're good enough, you can do likewise and gain access to powerful gear early on by visiting areas with very strong monsters.

You'll be battling with pokemon higher levels then the pokemon you're trying to catch. Seriously think this isn't the stupidest way to limit the players?

The Wild Area is optional at all times right? As long as there's no side quests in the middle of the game that tell you to go there for some reason then in typical play you probably won't run into this issue I guess. It's still such a bafflingly stupid design choice though.

Thanks to the power of Game Design, you too can solve complex problems by using your noodle!
Let's try this together, anon!
Choose 1:
>Wild pokemon is given a special status which boosts its level by "x" until the battle ends. For example, a level 20 pokemon could temporarily be level 40, but revert to level 20 if caught to give the player a challenge without revoking their ability to catch them.
or
>High level wild pokemon are given a special status which prevents them from being obedient, as if they were traded, until the player collects the appropriate number of badges.
or
>Wild pokemon are given a special status making them more powerful like totem pokemon without raising their level. This power goes away after the battle ends.
Wow, golly gosh! It sure is fun to come to the table and talk about solutions instead of blatantly dismissing the concerns of other players like a bootlicking shill!

I dont get the outrage. Yeah it's a cocktease but past games didnt let you encounter higher moms till you were of level range and badge. If anything this just is trainer lite in which you can battle for exp but not capture.

IIRC you have to go through the Wild Area at some points in the game, sAuchincloss as going to Raihan's town (dragon gym leader) for the first time. So players are exposed to this level bullshit.

Yep. Can't catch a damn thing unless you have the badges or the right level. They got rid of a few dumb restrictions only to replace with more and dumber restrictions.

Also, even with that bullshit, this game is already looking to be the mostly stupidly easy game in the series.

Nigga you actin like you see shiny with each step. Unless your stupid ass is looking for one on purpose, then the chances if just running into 1 while not being able to capture is low, unless they bumped shiny rates.

Those are shitty too and shouldn't be possible either. However, with those you only encounter at least it's not a prevailing thing throughout the game. With this you arent able to know a pokemon's level before hand so its possible to just run into mons you cant catch for a MASSIVE portion of the game instead of during the first few minute of the game and it's something that doesnt go away after a single point either. The shear amount of times you'll be running into mons you cannot catch and how long you'll be waiting to unlock the ability is such a drastically different level to tutorial non catchables and before you get ball isnt even comparable

i agree with you and definitely think they should be catchable but realistically how often are you going to run into one before you beat all of the gyms?
