With the recent showing of footage of Pokemon GO (which you can watch below if you haven&#8217;t yet), there have been people who have expressed disappointment in not being able to Battle a Pokemon to catch them.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eHgCmnVvfTI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nBut for me, I am completely okay with that. I don&#8217;t really like battling at all and so being able to just catch the Pokemon is a lot more fun for me.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to belief, Battling isn&#8217;t the only thing to do in Pokemon. It&#8217;s a prominent thing (and the thing that is often stuck as being the only thing in Post game :\/), but not the only thing. Besides getting various minigame type activities in each generation, the main reason Pokemon got my attention was the idea of going on a journey with friends I made and doing everything together. It&#8217;s that same reason that seeing ribbons exclusive to some number min-maxing post-game disappoints me greatly because I feel Pokemon is much more than that.<\/p>\n<p>People can say &#8220;Why do you play if you don&#8217;t like battling?&#8221;, but I can also say &#8220;Why do you play if you only like battling?&#8221; If you&#8217;re only doing it to number crunch and keep breeding and catching and whatever it is you&#8217;re doing just to get this one perfect one and toss them to the side, with how I play Pokemon, I feel that is completely missing the point. <\/p>\n<p>People play Pokemon for different reasons, but it&#8217;s only the people who play without caring much for the battle portion that really get the short end of the stick in things. <\/p>\n<p>Going back to the Pokemon GO footage, as I mentioned on Twitter, the things that caught my eye were the trainers and the mention of &#8220;Crystals&#8221;. At the very least, there is some kind of customization:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pgtrainers.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pgtrainers-235x300.png\" alt=\"pgtrainers\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pgtrainers2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pgtrainers2-220x300.png\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\"><\/a><br \/>\nWhich is something I&#8217;m always excited about. <\/p>\n<p>Crystals, on the otherhand, are most likely some kind of currency in the game. Whether they will be replacing Pokedollars or be a separate currency, I&#8217;m not 100% sure. And while some people are complaining about Microtransactions, those were kind of a given when they announced a mobile game so&#8230; What I&#8217;m hoping is Pokemon has learned from Pokemon Picross, Pokemon Shuffle, and Pokemon Rumble World and will offer an option for people to &#8220;purchase&#8221; the game (or spend a certain amount to do so) and be able to use all pay features for free. As this game is in collaboration with Niantic Labs, I&#8217;m not sure if that will or not, but I&#8217;m crossing my fingers.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, one other thing shown that caught my eye was this&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/lottasfountain.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3492\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/lottasfountain-229x300.png\" alt=\"lottasfountain\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/lottasfountain-229x300.png 229w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/lottasfountain.png 742w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis is a fountain in San Francisco (which is also where Worlds will be this year).
