Why would you think the game literally playing itself is a good thing?

You never had to battle wild pokemon.

The game can play itself so you can play with yourself while watching the game play with itself

Not battling wild Pokemon meant you didn't get any benefit from battling wild Pokemon. Now you get all of the benefits without even having to press a button.

This has basically existed since Gen 1’s daycare.

Absolutely based btw.

Retard.

No that's there to keep overworld encounters from knocking into you if you're grabbing items or doing bike laps to hatch your eggs. Which is a good thing.

The game doesn't play itself, the point of that option is that you can keep playing while your pokemon does its thing.

You could always do the exact same thing in Gen 1-6 with the daycare. They just made it more convenient

Don't try to make into some kind of achivement. Battling wild mons were basically waiting through cutscenes and pressing one button. That's it. Pure fucking autism.

Chaining in ORAS or SM was more interesting, but that's not what OP is talking about.

>you didn't get any benefit from battling wild Pokemon
And these benefits have long been made irelevant, not to mention that pressing a a couple times to mindlessly blast critters to oblivion has never been engaging content.

>And these benefits have long been made irelevant
Levels and moves don't matter anymore?

>NOOO I DON'T NEED TO PRESS A 3 TIMES IN A MENU TO KILL THE HECKING WILD MONRINO GAME IS RUINED

It's good mechanic, if you want your mon reach 100 lv, without battle arena loading and killing wild mons with just oneshoot. New breeding mechanic is actually worse, if you really must wait 1-2 hours for new eggs

Breeding is pointless since gen 8 anyway

>you don't have to instigate battle scenes with weak wild Pokemon, you can limit battles to strong or rare Pokemon you wish to capture
>you also need to remain vigilant so your Pokemon doesn't accidently kill a Shiny Pokemon

nah, at least on paper, it seems like this mechanic might have been well thought out.

>have to press the button to activate auto battle
>have to move around the field in order for pokemon to encounter pokemon to battle
>have to press a when text prompt appears for your pokemon discovers an item

Sounds like you'll be pressing buttons a lot more actually, lol.

>>you don't have to instigate battle scenes with weak wild Pokemon, you can limit battles to strong or rare Pokemon you wish to capture
You haven't had to do that since the introduction of overworld encounters.
