Sometimes.
Sometimes I just want to get where I need to go without the screen smashing every 5 seconds. Sometimes I don't want to waste all my potions/phoenix downs. Sometimes I'll see a treasure chest in the corner of the screen and think, "Fuck. That's like 15 random battles away."
They discourage exploration and cause you to rush through areas. They suck.
Pokemon got it right, like others said.
