[@Holy Soldier]I got that, but it is possible, to some extent at least. Also, though this is probably explained in your upcoming post, can the poke balls just never be used and instead my guy tries to talk to them first? My character is doing the challenge as part of something more spiritual then competitive, and beyond that, he doesn't like the idea of catching Pokemon, preferring to have them adventure along and fight with him because they choose to be. He might not get a lot of Pokemon that way, but that isn't really the point of his journey.
