After you've already fought a pokémon before, took tips next to moves say what's effective against the opponent. (There's also a feature in fights, a plus symbol on the bottom screen, that helps you keep track of buffs/debuffs and abilities which is neat)
There's a few visual indicators whether the trainer ahead is wanting a fight or just wanting to chat. Most tall grass can be avoided.

And, this may just be me, but I think random encounters are turned down. I have to run back and forth sometimes to get one to trigger.

But, opposite of what you want, sometimes wild pokémon will call for help and another of the same family group will show up to fight. This changes up wild battles but can make them longer.

Another nice feature is the pokedex shows the individual patches of grass where you can catch pokémon you've seen before.

But, uh, that's the only good thing I can say about this new pokedex.

The trials definitely break up the monotony pretty well.

BE MY FUCKING FRIEND EEVEE

Anyway this has been pretty fun now that I've put some time into it. By far the best A++++ starting route pokes. I had a full team of my favorites before finishing the first island, and it was still a while before I stopped swapping out one or two a route. Bewear is my new favorite big 'ol dummy. And holy shit I just remember that the pokebank is a thing so this is the first time I can actually transfer between games and get my ultimate derp team.

I figure this is a longshot, but did anyone grab an Original Ash Hat Pikachu they are willing to trade me? I'm desperate.

I can attempt to use hacker means to effectively place a virtually-indistinguishable one on my cart and trade it to you.
Effectively, I'd tell my game that yes, I did go to that event, better put the NPC there who hands me the Pikachu! And have him give me one!
I understand that some people don't like this means of pokegeneration, and won't feel offended if you pass on this, but it's there if you want it.

What with all that is going on, I've fallen back into Pokemon hard, but I have literally no friends.

If anyone still plays Pokemon Go and wouldn't mind someone sending them a gift from the same exact pokestop every day, my trainer code is 3902 4379 7328. I'd appreciate return gifts if you can safely get them. My stop is near my driveway, so I don't have to deal with anyone.

I'm also trying to complete a complete living pokedex including all the different forms and genders and variations other than shiny, and my Pokemon Home code is WKFCTZDKGSDY.

somebody please talk me out of doing a bunch of blind pokemon let's plays

i'm getting the same twinge as i did when i started to think about dragon warrior

except more inexplicable because i don't know anything about pokemon

i didn't even read the various bronto pokemon lps (sorry) because i have never cared about pokemon before now

well okay i know some things about pokemon but only what i've learned from super smash brothers and manly men doing manly things

(the webcomic not the men)

i guess also through cultural osmosis i know some stuff about how clown types are stronger than fairy types or some such

i mean i don't know what my damage is, if i want to recruit monsters dq5 is right there

good lord i don't think i've ever so dearly wanted to do something that i do not want to do

or that the world needs less

is this what a mid-life crisis feels like

is this how the urge to resurrect an obsolete motor vehicle manifests within me

so i recently learned about a really fucking cool seeming pokemon crystal hack called pokemon crystal clear where they turn pokemon into an open world rpg where you can start anywhere and do things in any order and the game just scales up when you beat badges and it seems rad as fuck

Spend 5 minutes playing Pokemon GB and you'll probably be cured of that desire.
