I guess that makes sense but you get Ghastly so early in this game. So far it's feeling like it'll be a stomp if he wants to hand me such powerful Pokemon before I even get my first badge but maybe the gym battles really have changed to make this a non-issue?...
I'm willing to give it a shot because I actually sat through the whole video aside from the Team Rocket changes since that's the only real story update he did and I didn't wanna spoil. I agreed with some of the gym changes he propsoed, mostly with the later badges scaling based on your progress and Lance/Claire getting more differentiation in their specialties.
I was just about to start Polished Crystal, like I literally loaded it up and picked my starter, and then this came out the next day so I'm giving it a try instead. Going to be sad if it turns out Polished Crystal was the better way to relive nostalgia while changing the formula a little to spice things up. Overall I do want a difficulty hack that makes me feel like it's more worth it to strategize instead of grinding past opponent levels. Because I know as a kid I just overleveled, but after playing stuff like Pokemon Clover and Prism and Red Battle Factory I want my team comp and strategy to feel more impactful. That's what I primarily hope to get from this, I guess.
The idea of Kanto being essentially an entire postgame challenge is more enticing to me than what Kanto currently is so I'll at least want to play until I can try that out.
