As did I. I still can't believe people are really happy wild pokemon battles are gone for this. When something as core to a game as battling wild pokemon is in pokemon is removed then it creates multiple problems that you didn't know you had. This is a pokemon game that removed a core mechanic and replaced it with a mini game that will get tired rather quickly.
Another question that needs to be answered is that if you can only battle trainers and gym leaders once and there are no wild encounters then once you beat the elite 4, running back the elite 4 will be the only pokemon battles left in the game?
I always remove that "core aspect' with tons or repel anyway
