Daily reminder that we only have overworld encounters because of Let's Go

Ohmori even stated that this wasn't even meant to be in the games and that this and the wild area were put into the games as a result of people liking this feature. Let that sink in for a moment. Two of the best things about this game only happened because of those let's go games.

I wish they hadn't rushed and just saved OW encounters for the next games but I guess everyone would be shitting on them if they didn't

There's greatness buried, that will never be realized. It's great that they're there with their personalities doing their thing in the world, but they spawn like ants on an agitated and hill and the rares are too fucking common. The tyranitars should be a rare and lonely sight wandering through the sandstorms once an hour. Whoever settled on it was a good idea to have that bat dragon with the big ears flap around 4 at a time on a patch of grass needs to be... they all settled on it. It could've worked. There's no going back from the precedent now. Casuals will bitch about it taking 10x longer to fill the dex. This is our future now.

Yes, but you start in Kanto with a Charmander in your party.

Johto will become a post-game hallway.

I refuse to believe that they are that clueless

There are dozens upon dozens of valid complaints to make about SwSh, but this is not one of them. Many fans have been asking for this years; almost every other JRPG already does it. Can you imagine playing DQ11 with random encounters? It only happens in one place in that game — on the ocean — and it’s annoying af.

I've only seen confirmation of this regarding wild encounters:

"One thing we didn't originally intend to implement in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield was having Pokémon roaming around in the field. After Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! were released and we saw how popular the feature was, we worked hard to bring it over to Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield for a lot of the Pokémon and adjusted the balance of the games to make it work."

I don't think they could have implemented the Wild Area in about 7 months (from LGPE's release and E3 2019). Oddly enough, I guess they thought a Wild Area without random encounters was a good idea? It boggles the mind.

Remember that there were no random encounters in the February trailer. They obviously needed more time.
