>>42841959I think it's fucking disgusting how in all those years, following and riding Pokémon isn't even considered a mandatory feature, how battles are slow and stale as fuck, easy as ever and it's primarily singles format.Gimmicks don't change how shitty the battle in this game is, it's fucking braindead RNG garbage. And it feels bad most of the time because it just slows down the battles even more. Who the fuck is going to use a support-mon in the main game when you get something like this
