My character arc is that its painfully obvious that I don't enjoy battling this way and I'm only doing this because my gifted child complex has been triggered and I can't cope. As the game progresses my team compositions become less bullshit, but the battles become more intense and enjoyable. I make it to the e4 and become champ (my starter is back by this point), but then job because the protag uses the UBER/AG-tier box legendary that I didn't get. During the postgame I get possessed by the third legendary and revert to my broken strats with a more fun team, and that's how I stay into the postgame having found a happy medium between having fun and being the second coming of cynthia, who was my main inspiration to use broken strats. Every after-story rematch with me is challenging and the level/AI of my team scales to the strongest pokemon in your party. Instant best asshole rival.
