Lower the Surfing Encounter Rate

[BrianLPZY]

I generally can move about two squares between fights, and other times, if I so much as press down -TO- move down, I won't even move, but I'll get into a battle in the very same spot I'm standing in. I know it's not just me either, because I've watched it take somebody like, 30 minutes to surf a 20 block radius D:

 

Along the same lines is the grass. Sometimes when you are forced to walk through grass, it's like getting mobbed. You have to fight 20 level 2 pidgeys just to get out of a 5 block area of grass.

I agree, the encounter rate while surfing is absurd.

Just buy some repels :P

Me and my brother even have a joke going that "if you stop to tie your shoes (While surfing, Great logic, eh?) you'll get mobbed by tentacle monsters." It's that bad D:

repels. dont take away my spdef ev training spot. go away. ._.

[BrianLPZY]

I think that's an even better reason. The rates are so high you can farm Ev's nigh-instantly. o -O No effort or anything. Besides, when you are just starting out, repels are spensive till you get a meowth D:

People have complained about this ever since they upped the encounter rate so I highly doubt they will ever change it. Too be honest I don't mind the high encounter rate. Higher chance of finding a shiny tenta :P

lowering encounter rate of surfing wouldnt hurt ev training

[Orangeslash]

Oh, this thread again.

[Guldfisk]

This has been talked a lot of times and I agree with that it should be back to default instead of the current rate, and sweet scent should be added with a way to hotkey it for the 1 counter argument this suggestion has.

[BrianLPZY]

I don't think the original encounter rate was as bad as this. This feels almost like a glitch at times. If you feel like you need to run into 7 pokemon on the same square area of grass, perhaps an Anti-Repel item?

 

 

 

 

To Orangeslash: "Oh, this completely useless post again" ._.;

[Satoshi]

No.

I think the encounter rate is to low.

It should be raised.

now that money has been nerfed and tenta % rates should be lowered as well as all water rates to that of land % or lower.
