Add a rematch for Red

[Lankyb]

Been playing through the Johto story recently and have been working my way up to fight Red. After meeting the requirements I finally got to challenge him.

 

I debated combining my Johto team with my Kanto team to ensure victory, but I thought it'd be more fun to stay with my Johto team. Unfortunately I wasn't able to beat Red on my first try, mostly due to not wanting to use revives for a extra challenge and getting some unfortunate RNG with crits and accuracy checks. I didn't think it was a big deal though and that I could just fight him again.

 

Yeah, apparently not.

 

The legendary Red is a one and done battle, if you lose that's it. No chance for redemption, no chance to learn from your mistakes, nothing if you were unlucky or if your game crashed mid battle. It's a total flop for what feels like it should be a major moment in the game.

 

Red is meant to be a challenge, but when I asked about it in the Discord support he's apparently used to progress the story, nothing more. He should be a boss you can keep challenging, and I don't see and I don't see any reason as to why he shouldn't be a boss you can rematch. 

 

Please give Red the love he deserves and make it so you can rematch him!

 

Thanks!

If Red becomes a repeatable boss it would stop being the great, significant and unstoppable trainer we all love. He would become a boss that we defeat every X days and that's not cool.

I can see where you're coming from with Red being a repeatable boss you beat every other week. It would take some of the status away from him.

 

So to compromise; why not make it so that Red ONLY respawns if you've lost the battle against him?

 

I think he even says if you lose to him that one day you may be able to beat him with enough training, so why cut the rematch?

 

Not everyone playing is running the most optimal teams or grinding EV's. Some people are just playing for fun, so losing the final battle makes Red feel way more anticlimactic than significant.

 

Thanks for the reply

I disagree only because i won against him so many times when i was younger even though he was far better challenge for me than the entirety of E4 and he wasn't the champion. Glory to Red!
