>>26864734>totally uselessPutting Strength on my physical attacker doesn't make him useless, and you don't need six Pokémon at once at all times considering how easy the games are.
>>26864754>I don't consider going out of my way to do things like catch and switch in Pokemon with HM moves more aggravating than some dags dancing in my way as opposed to a tree being even though functionally norhbdulfill the same purposeI don't. I catch everything I run into anyway so it's not like I have to catch anything specific. It might help that I've played these games before so I know what to switch in and when I need to, but something like having to go through the S.S. Anne to get the HM for Cut to get to Surge is better than going through the Kalos Badlands and a Flare Grunt blocking the Power Plant with "come back when you have four badges" and it will always be better. Gen V and VI removed mandatory HMs besides Surf and they have the WORST roadblocks in the franchise, though I like Gen V despite that.
