The games were intended to encourage human interaction and linking up via link-cables, back in the days of the Game Boys. Not to mention that back in those days, we didn't all have instant, uninterrupted internet access, so basically everything about the games was a mystery, and got passed around by mouth. People didn't fully understand the game mechanics, and if the television show or game guides (the physical kind back in those days) hadn't explained it to us, we would've all had heart attacks if we saw our Magikarps evolve. Machamp, Alakazam, Steelix, Golem, etc, those were all rewards for making friends.Originally Posted by Kornman00
I agree about the PC design, though. I'd like to see them implement the PC into the Pokedex, so people wouldn't have to travel all the way to a Pokemon centre just to switch out their team.
