>>57184051The actual reason is that Pokemon games are so piss easy they have to come up with fake "hardcore" shit like not being able to run from trainer battles to make you think you're on a tough journey through the region when in reality being able to run from trainer battles wouldn't make the games any less hard and just creates a false sense of danger to make you think that trainer with 2 irrelevant shitmons that die to pressing A is a semblance of a challenge. Shit like that tricks you into thinking you've overcome an actual obstacle, especially when you're really young.
