>>53352892i think it's fair to assume that someone playing a game about catching and training different creatures wants to catch and train different creatures
and using only a single pokemon used to be a risky playstyle due to stat drops and volatile status conditions you couldn't remove without switching out. and if your one pokemon ever went down, you were fucked because the rest of your team were weak shitters. these risks were the game's way of encouraging players to train at least a few pokemon, and avoiding those risks was the reward for doing so. and that's how the game was balanced, you terminally autistic cocksucking bitch nigger cunt.
