This is mostly for the kind of encounters that appear out of nowhere, usually when traveling on the world map.

Especially common in old console RPGs.

More modern games have these cleverly guised by spawning the encounter just outside your visibility radius or behind other visual blocks, making them almost seem scripted or part of some grand simulation.
