[Denied]Encountering Pokemon outside of their normal area.

[slinkywheel]

My idea is basically this: Rarely pokemon can be encountered outside of (or within) areas where pokemon usually are.

So like on regular ground etc.

Every 20 or so steps the game can determine whether a pokemon will be encountered or not, the chance to encounter a pokemon could be 1 in 500-1000

Pokemon encountered this way have a much higher chance of being a shiny, and can be ANY pokemon. (except perhaps legendary) They also have an equal chance to be anywhere from level 1 to 50.

Starter pokemon could be encountered this way but would be more rare than other types.

Starter pokemon could be encountered

No.

Other than that, it's possible.

[slinkywheel]

No.

Other than that, it's possible.

1. Why not?

2. Maybe the starter pokemon you picked would be more likely to encounter this way than the other 2 (so for example if you picked bulbasaur you're more likely to encounter a bulbasaur than a charmander)

A fucking Wailord was right in front of me dude. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOWN, DUDE

I see your point, but here's another point: Caught water pokemon can battle outside of water. 0.0

I wasn't really trying to make a point, I was making a joke.

Diminishes value of rare Pokemon, pass.

[Atuan]

The idea that you'd have a rare chance of finding a Pokemon with a higher chance of being shiny just sounds absolutely pooped and I won't justify any other point in this thread.

Though if implemented a lot differently/better, rare Pokemon might be neat.

So wait. You just want Pokemon to be randomly found everywhere? Is the plethora of grass after stepping out of a city not enough?

Wow.

Not to mention "ANY pokemon" being encountered is just ridiculous, absurd, and hahah... well, stupid. There's a point to specific Pokemon only being able to be found in specific Routes/locations. Keep it that way.
