Wild Pokémon

The amount of wild Pokemon encounters in this game is absolutely RIDICULOUS. It’s my first time finally being able to play it and bro I can’t go 5-10 steps without another damn pop up in grass/caves. It’s so friggin annoying cause I don’t want to use any cheats since it’s my first run through and I want the full experience but honestly I’m fairly close to just getting max repels. Only have done first gym so far and I’m going to lose my mind and drop the game otherwise
