@Rune_Alchemist Like I said, still working out the kinks. The things is, there are specific requirements to be met when trying to capture a rare. And if you don't meet them, I don't want to lead you on for four posts just to tell you it's not there.
I realize there are specific requirements, and I fully expected Lynn to not find one, but I would rather prefer that than just one post of 'walking in a circle'. It feels a little...underwhelming. Being led on a four post goose chase would be a lot more interesting and realistic in my opinion, especially if there is a chance to discover something else, or come across another pokemon in the process.
Even if they didn't find anything, it'd as some might say, go a bit towards character development.
Using Lynn here as an example...Maybe something caught Lynn's attention on the path, and instead of following the markings all the way to the end, she decided to follow that instead. Instead of using this Pancham in an event like following the markings in a complete circle, you could have had it been on the path somewhere - Perhaps give Sneasel the option to have noticed it and Alerted Lynn to its presence.
I just think each encounter or event needs to have multiple ways it can go, especially if searching for a rare or are exploring somewhere. Either complete failure, or perhaps stumbling upon something else. Not the pokemon you were looking for, but maybe you stumble upon a cave, or a different pokemon altogether.
Maybe you run into a trainer and have a surprise battle xP
1x Thank
