pokeposting
gamefreak should be forbidden by law from putting pickup mons early on in a game's routes because then i get a zigzagoon early and feel locked in to keeping it in my party forever
pokeposting
do not put pokemon with pickup in the first five routes shall be the whole of the law.

@alyssa Is there no PC system any more?
re: pokeposting
@aschmitz there is also a factor of like, it's more appealing early on because you can get things like ultra balls very early
re: pokeposting
@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)
re: pokeposting
@aschmitz recent games like ruby and sapphire :p
re: pokeposting
@alyssa Exactly! Newfangled things.
re: pokeposting
@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. 😞
