>1. They trail behind you or get stuck, triggering the return to pokeball>2. Steps don't save, you have to walk all the miles and then make it level upIt feels overly reliant on the Let's Go feature, already a jank piece of shit as is. If you're too far away and order your pokemon to auto battle, they jump into the ball first and then pop back out to fight, resetting the step counter. They really could've just been friendship evos.
