...That's how Pokemon works. Pokemon is LITERALLY all about building the right moves and praying for RNG that the opponent doesnt do something to shut you down before you pull off your combo. This isn't a Slasher RPG where the player is given full control over everything you do during a battle and dodge attacks and shit. As for why it was put at the very start? Very simple. Its used to weed out players who I don't cater to. That's the whole point. Clearly, you don't like it, so why continue getting mad about it?I did and it mentioned fun and challenging.... not a straight up fuck you and go do this shit over here again and again and again. Get another pokemon and go level that and use right move yada yada. That is never fun no exceptions. This wouldn't be so stupid if it was later and not right smack at the very start. and this aint even going into how the very first battle is all up to chance/luck then anything. That is not difficultly or a challenge. Challenge in extreme case would be Dark Souls, but there one can avoid a hit as it ain't turn based. Forcing luck into having to win is explicitly not a challenge... It is really shite design
And just because you don't find it fun, doesn't mean no one does. If you don't enjoy it, move on. Projecting your distaste won't help. I have a discord server with a couple thousand people who don't mind it as much as you do.
