And it’s baffling to believe a little stat boost is more significant than 10 levels worth of increased stats.
Not to mention you only mention totems for the difficulty. The dungeons in pre-Gen 6 games actually tested your resource management, and fighting multiple trainers back to back could hinder your team. Gen 7’s trainers are jokes that are usually underleveled.
Anyways, I probably won’t change your mind, I already bothered with this difficulty discussion and I’m barely in the mood to do it again. Good day sir, have a Snifit.
