I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if this has been brought up before.

When walking in a area that wild pokemon spawn in, and also in a trainer's LOS, I get the ! and sometimes I will also get a wild pokemon battle at the same time, effectively making the trainer not exist, as I can just walk right past him after that.

 

Obviously you could just talk to them if you want to fight them, but that's not the point of this post.

 

Also, when you do get into a trainer battle, and if your disconnected during that battle, on purpose or on accident, if you come back to the same trainer, you cant battle them until they reset.

 

Using this way, it is possible for passing through most of the trainer battles without needing to fight at all, progressing quickly through the story, which could be useful for botters who just want to get at a certain point in the game and just farm. Trading eliminates any worry about under-leveled pokemon once you can trade.

 

I dont know how hard this would be to fix, or even if botters do use this method. Like I said, I don't know if this has been brought up before, and I'm sure that it doesn't happen a lot, but it does seem like a bug and not intentional.

the LoS will be disabled anyway after you fought them once (rolling out change --> Rolling changes. ). The "skipping" part has not only advantages; you lose the chance to gain EXP and earn money from those NPC's if you skip them. This won't be fixed for sure and is not as abuse-able as you may think :P

^ Like what he said

Skipping Battle NPCs will only make you lose the chance to gain EXP and money, and skipping story-related NPCs will make you unable to continue the story until you battle them. Therefore, this is not really an abusable bug. Have a nice day~
