Additionally, the footage also contains several scenes where the player is in a fight with a Pokemon in the wild. As seen in the footage, some Pokemons attack the player when encountered in the wild. In such situations, the player is supposed to save themselves until they get a better shot at throwing a Pokeball and catching the Pokemon. The footage seems to be recorded while playing the game, and it also contains some controls, like the number of Pokeballs on the bottom right corner of the screen and some other controls on the bottom left corner. Those interested can watch from the sixth minute of the video attached in this post.
