Why do they always make routes where I'm forced to walk through tall grass? Why can't they design the routes so tall grass is always optional and I can avoid tedious random wild encounters?

thankfully the most two recent releases are less retarded and make wild encounters optional.

What happens if you're just a kid and you want to go from Pallet to Viridian and you don't have any Pokemon? Do you just die?

This has always been the audience. No one likes random wild encounters that drag you through countless loading sequences out of and back into the game overworld

You can skip 90% of it on your way back. Having to walk it three times though is indeed not the best game design. t. gen1fag

Running away from annoying wild Pokémon isn't playing the game. But walking around the map, exploring the overworld actually is.

Route 3, Pinwheel Forest, Route 4, Route 5, Route 16, Route 15, Route 14, Route 13, Route 12, Village Bridge, Route 11, Route 10, Route 9, and Route 7 do not require you to walk through tall grass and have clear paths. Why are you such an asshole? An ignorant asshole at that.

The game isn't designed to be played with a wiki open. You are encouraged to hunt in the grass for a pokemon.

That is what the dex is for
If you see an NPC with an interesting pokemon you can see where to catch it and then go look for it

I shouldn't be bothered to run from dozens of wild encounters when im trying to cross a route

Why do we even have routes? Why do I have to walk to the another area to fight the next gym leader? Just put them in one building so I can fight them all.

the entire point of routes is to fight trainers and catch new pokemon
exploring boils down to get from town A to town B

Route 1 of Kanto is actually fucking based.
It forces you to go through grass upward, which is very important considering that it's literally first route of the game - it's pretty easy to understand way of teaching player basics about encounters with wild Pokemon. And then thanks to ledges you can skip pretty much entire route, except those 5 patches of grass at the very end.

This route is fully functional, very executed and non-intrusive tutorial explaining one of the most vital mechanics in the game.

It's designed to be a resource drain. Unfortunately it's also completely pointless because Pokemon Centers top you off for free.

Making the player choose between buying/using expendable items and toughing it out/running into wild Pokemon IS game design.

I said better game design, not a shitty band-aid that makes the game more tedious while also completely ruining the main point of the game.

>>45991944
Except there is no "toughing it out", instead it's just "waste time going through transition animations and clicking run"
