>>53670425Yeah the greed of companies all around is killing everything.
>>53670486I suspect the rng gets stuck as I've had the same happen to me. These are objectively the worst pokemon games in terms of performance and overall polish/charm/appeal/"soul". They tried too much and failed at every corner.
Turn off auto save to make the game run smoother, but save often as these are also the only pokemon games I've ever had crash on me. Also, rush gyms and explore later- catch rate is tied to gym badge progression (and only gym badges, not titan badges or star bases) or you'll end up spending 30 great and 27 pokeballs to catch a paralyzed level 16 Stantler with red hp like I did.
