| Ka-pi96 said: If the player were to do that though why wouldn't the opponent do the same in response? You said it would be like other JRPG boss battles earlier, but other JRPG bosses don't have a load of other potential battlers stored away in their pocket that they could pull out to even the numbers unlike Pokemon. |
Because it's a game where nonsense in that kind of logic happens all the time, and it would be more fun that way. If the opponent cared about logic, every evil team would have 100 revives/full restores, trainers wouldn't shout out which Pokemon they're sending out next while waiting for you to pick a Pokemon to counter it, and the team leaders and grunts wouldn't mysteriously be at just the right level for you to beat them every time you encounter them. Evil teams don't care about logic, they care about creating a satisfying game experience.
