imagine you're just a little kid going on a walk with your rattata that has never fought in its life and some creep ass old man with a full team of evolved pokemon comes up to you saying "hey, we made eye contact, that means we have to fight and you can't run or call for help"the pokemon world is a terrible place

>>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.
>>57184078>arseWhat a shitty existence indeed
Are trainer battles like if a JRPG just had a shitload of mini bosses between each actual boss fight (Gym Leaders/Villain Team Leaders)? Only just now realized how interesting they are when juxtaposed between actual storyline fights and random encounters
>>57184051>He didn't play SVGood, please dont
>>57184383You can't though
>>57184383You still can't run from trainer battles in SV.
>>57184051Trainer battles are a humiliation ritual.
