>trainer in the anime tells their pokemon to dodge the opponent's attack >the pokemon does itWhy don't they just always do that? Why do the Pokemon need to be told to dodge in the first place?
>>58279849Because they have no concept of dodging in the wild, pokemon fights in the wild typically boil down to endurance almost every time
>>58279849Why don't the anime trainers just tell their Pokemon to dodge everything?
>>58279849How do they even get hit in the first place if the trainer can just make them dodge? Are they stupid?
>>58279849better question: why don’t the pokemon just dodge on their own
>>58279865That's cheating.
Stamina, you fools. Did Souls games teach you nothing?
>>58279849The Pokemon is probably preparing to attack
>>58279849Because there are situations where dodging just puts you in an even worse situation, but blocking allows you to pull off a counterattack, you retard.
>>58279849because they can tank an attack to counter-attack quicker
Because the Pokemon rely on their trainers for instruction. What if the trainer wanted them to get hit for a reason (activate Guts/use Revenge/etc), or to open up an opportunity to strike back? Telling them to dodge is giving them an order to take action, same as giving them an order to attack.

>>58280209Is there a pokemon rom hack thats as close to the anime as possible? Legends ZA is looking up to be that.
