"Are you sure? Y\N" option for running on rare encounters.

[Kanjinuma]

Thanks to the Xmas event (which I'm loving btw, luck aside), I've caught a handful of rare form pokemon, and I got to thinking...

Similar to the "You got a rare encounter! (OK)" popup that prompts before the battle plays out, wouldn't it also be possible to add a check before or after the "run" option in those select fights?
So that for any "rare" encounters, you don't accidentally hit your hotkey or misclick the wrong button, and end up logging out in despair, lol.

I'm by no means a coding expert, but I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to implement since the (OK) popup and "rare" encounters as a labeled concept are already noted by the system.
I feel like it would be an excellent qol change but regardless, thank you for your time and have a wonderful one. o7

I think allowing such mechanic would have a mixed effect. If I remember correctly, the “You’ve encountered a rare form!” pop-up used to not have a time limit, so it would just be there for as long as you don’t click on the OK button. However after I got back on PRO, that seems not to be the case anymore. After a few seconds, the pop-up will disappear on its own. Now I assume this change was done to reduce the amount of people using macros to auto-farm rare forms. Implementing your suggestion would just reverse the mechanic that they’ve introduced.
