>>48894402>No internet to spoil the entire line-up for you to look up before the games releaseI think people underplay how much this matters. For Brilliant Diamond, I deliberately avoided reading up on the Pokémon League line up and had never played the originals. As a result:
I was under leveled.
I had to use multiple max revives and a ridiculous amount of HP items to stay in the fight for Cynthia.
I wasn’t aware of Abilities like Storm Drain, so sloppy moves were made.
In the end, even with four legendary Pokémon, the battle came down to Mew and Garchomp at about half health.
The last time I had such a close battle was Sun. The common factor was a lack of knowledge/going in blind for the Pokémon League.
