Is Pokemon a game about defeating Pokemon or catching Pokemon? Now it's a game about both. No more compromising your capacity to destroy your enemies for the sake of trivializing Pokemon catching with Hypnosis/Spore/Thunder Wave, False Swipe, and, if Roaming Pokemon are involved, Mean Look/Shadow Tag. Defeat a Wild Pokemon and you can catch it. Defeat an enemy Trainer's Shadow Pokemon and you can catch it. Join the Evil Team of Evil and if you defeat an innocent Trainer's Pokemon, you can steal it like the monster you are. Also the Roaming Pokemon in my game don't flee, they're just used for the Safari Zone in the opening sequence.
