@aschmitz there is but it does not really solve the problem of "every time i battle without zigzagoon in my party i'm missing out on a chance at a pickup"

@alyssa Ah, apparently this is an interesting mechanic that shows how I haven't played any recent Pokemon games. I guess you could treat it as if you hadn't gotten the zigzagoon though? But I understand feeling like you should do it now that it's available. 😞

@aschmitz there is also a factor of like, it's more appealing early on because you can get things like ultra balls very early

@aschmitz later on it's not as big a deal because most things you want you can just buy or have plenty of anyway. (some exceptions but for those you mostly need the pickup mon at super high level and the chances are still low)

@aschmitz recent games like ruby and sapphire :p

@alyssa Exactly! Newfangled things.
