>>54888344>That doesn't mean I can't complain that the official way to play the game requires too much bullshit to be worth the time.It takes like five fucking minutes nowadays anon, you don't even have to breed for anything anymore since bottlecaps, mirror herbs and mints exist and are extremely easy to obtain.
Other PvP games and even PvE games would kill for that kind of simplicity and lack of grind, take MH for example, even with World and Rise giving you the ability to buy rare parts you still have to unlock the ability to buy the parts and then grind more on top of it. It's so much longer than pokemon but despite how simple the game is, hell even before the breeding and egg move changes pokemon was one of the most simplistic monster tamers, you still want to cheat.
You may as well just admit you don't like pokemon because nowadays all the game wants you to do is play normally.
