i don't get the whole random encounters...
This is one way I prefer Red/Blue Rescue Team. It seems more "natural" and more free since each member of your party can contribute to a battle in parallel. Hope they make a sequel to that too.
They remade Red and Blue as FireRed and LeafGreen for the GBA a couple of years ago.
Unlike Red Rescue, I find the LeafGreen works well with the DS controls, and I concur it's lots of fun.
