Overcoming my addiction to avoiding trainer battles.

I’ve spent years playing Pokémon, and in that time, I’m embarrassed to say, I’ve been a serial battle avoider. I just wanted to make it to the next town, and the routes sometimes seem to go on forever. Of course, there was consequences, I was severely under leveled, and traveling back to other towns wasn’t the peaceful stroll it should be. But after years of frustration, I finally came to the realization, the game is about Pokémon battles, so enjoy the Pokémon battles. Now I’m on the road to recovery. There are minor set backs, like a particularly long route or cave, but all in all, I’m enjoying myself far more. I just ask that you don’t use any repels in front of me, as I’m going cold turkey from them as well.
