[@Rune_Alchemist] Hey, I used that feature myself, I know what you were talking about. XD

What I meant was that I prefer that you seek out the Pokémon you want rather than influence the world with a PM to the GM in order to magically increase the chances of encountering those Pokémon.

However, your example does have its merits. It would make my players feel more rewarded for their more random searches, wouldn't it? If it is a feature that my players want, then I can implement it.
