>>29078076>The game isn't easy, you just need to not pick the water starterBesides, to give credit to Emerald, that's not true if you don't grind at the game corner for the Ice Beam TM which I didn't because I'm a lazy bum who didn't want to meticulously farm money for hours. Even against the twins before I could spam Surf I had to rely on a gangup from Swampert and Skarmory.
It cheapens Wattson but so could a Geodude. In fact Nosepass was of better use against Flannery's Torkoal even due to the Normal resist and access to paralysis.
And again, if one of the three starters, part of a mandatory choice representing your first Pokemon, breaks the game I think that one's on the game.
>>29078085Like I said, not one above 50 by the end. The only other game I could pull this stunt with was BW.
I'm excited for when I do Platinum. These runs aren't even to prove a point anymore. I'm just trying to use all sorts of mons, but get some experiences on the side.
Also I want to replay XY in a similar fashion but it's not even a supposed braindead difficulty that turns me off. It's a lot of other things that annoy me.
