    Pokémon first iteration was known as gachamon (gacha monster). The game was inspired by bug catching and gachas. Of course, idea was changed and itt became pocket monster and then Pokémon.

    There's tons of RNG in pokemon obviously, but certain pokemon appear more/less likely at certain places at certain times and certain things can be used to further change this.

    Reducing the HP of the enemy pokemon drastically increases the catch rate, using different types of poke balls for different situations, and bringing pokemon that can paralyze & sleep will give you plenty of chances. Plus if worst comes to worst you can just reset the game, so the only reason to not be able to catch a legendary pokemon would be because of extreme carelessness.


    If you're breeding, then IVs aren't completely random since the pokemon will inherit IVs from the parents, and from Gen 4 you can even guarantee 2 IVs, and you can use also Everstone to either have a 50% chance of inheriting the parent's nature or 100% depending on if it's pre-Emerald or not.

    and plenty more, tl:dr there's RNG but it can be manipulated. A gacha game only has RNG and you can't do anything besides rolling and praying to RNGjesus.

    You forgot one main aspect of these games: sacrifice. You sacrifice one of your waifus to another waifu of the same type to cannibalize so she can upgrade herself to a higher level with less clothes and more shinies. :cookie::blobsmirk:

    In most instances though... many sacrifices are required... until they can evolve to the final form! :blobdevil:
