I always think you have to be a bit weird to own a pet incapable of kinship and affection . <| sep |> As someone who ' s been playing since Gen I , my only gripe is that you can ' t take measures to disable nontotem SOS battles , or at least reduce summon frequency . I ' ve had wild pokemon battles going on for what seemed to be at least 20 minutes , burning through most of my healing items and nearly wiping my team several times per battle . I should probably consider keeping a thunder wave user on my team permanently to stop their incessant summoning . too bad it won ' t work on electric or ground types though . Ailments are the only way to stop them , I believe , but they don ' t work on everything and they waste a pokemonmove slot .
