>>43552830The leveling curve is insanely bad though and cannot be ignored, I just finished replaying the game. You could literally train a team up to the 4th gym in sinnoh and then completely sweep the johto league with it.With 16 gyms the potential for the game was definitely there, but instead all they do is waste your time with hundreds of battles against underleveled and unevolved shitmons, and they do this through johto and all throughout kanto as well.
I literally just cleared all 16 gyms, in 40 fucking hours, I fought literally EVERY TRAINER in every route in both fucking regions and my team is only lvl 55-58, I go to do elite four rematch and lance has a fucking lvl 72 garchomp. So now after all that time I need to spend another day grinding the elite four until I'm caught up, fuck that.
Also they lock you out of Mt. Silver until 16 badges saying the pokemon are too dangerous and then you finally reach there and they're level 40 LMFAO. You could have given me them to train on for elite four and maybe the game wouldn't have been so bad, what in the actual fuck is this design?
Anyways, my rants done. I wanted to play until I beat red but fuck this shit I need to move on, this games gonna burn me out if I continue and I wanna replay gen 5 as well. The leveling curve is definitely the main reason I will never replay this game in the future, holy fuck.
