>>48111965>thus educating little kids to not just mash A like in many contemporary JRPG'sThere are very few "contemporary RPGs" which kids are playing and even fewer they can button mash through
Plus they would already see their Pokemon learns new moves on levelup that already do more than Tackle
>target different defenses.As if kids actually understand stats
>Uses BideIt gets oneshot
>hyping kids up by showing them they'll get to catch cool shit laterThey already likely knew from advertising or marketing
>makes kids feel like they've cleared a hurdleThe goal of a boss fight is usually not to pander to kids, especially the first major boss. Add in a miniboss before Brock if this is an issue
>even today GameFreak designs many mons as "NPC" pokemon and not for player use.Which is retarded design philosophy in a series you can catch and use anything you see and which is now willing to make designated boss mons like Totems or Eternamax anyway (which it should have done from the start)
