If you’ve been playing the game much since the previous lesson, you may have encountered a few Pokemon that you really wanted to capture. In this game, I decided to make capturing a Pokemon harder than simply throwing a Pokeball at it. You actually have to fight with the wild Pokemon to weaken it before you can capture it. Implementing combat completely is pretty involved, so in this lesson we will just do some setup work by creating a few models, factories and systems we will want to use to complete a capture battle.

Unofficial Pokemon Board Game – Random Encounters
Now that we can move around the board, we should start adding the activities related to that journey. The first thing I want to include is the random encounter.

In this first part, we will simply handle the systems necessary for spawning them and displaying a new screen when they appear.
