Wild Pokemon Description

What they are
Wild Pokemon are just that, wild animals living in the open world. You’ll see flocks of Pidgey in the sky. Metapods hang from trees. Tauros graze in the fields. You get the idea. They’re the whole reason we bought the game. I just want to walk around and see Pokemon chilling everywhere.

Awareness
They are aware of your presence and other players. They may flee upon sight. They might be curious and come up to you or just straight up attack you. The game will display what kind of mindset the Pokemon has. If it’s highlighted green, it means it is aware of your presence but doesn’t mind and goes about its business. You’re free to do whatever you want; battle, throw a Pokeball, bait it, walk up to it and pet it. This status can change, for example, if you throw a Pokeball and miss, it may flee or get aggressive. Or it changes from green to yellow which just means it is now wary of you, so be careful with your next move. You could cause it to flee or attack, or nothing happens, in which case it will go from yellow to green. If it’s red, that means it will attack if you get too close. If it’s not highlighted, or outlined in grey or white then it is not aware of your presence. While undetected, your chances of catching a wild Pokemon are higher.
