>Every opponent you face is overleveled>Every single one of them is EV'd on everything to make every fight as miserable as possible>There's no easy healing to go around anymore unless you're not doing a fuckload of sidequests and shilling the fuck out of your money>Revives are the shitty Empire variety and they might not be that expensive in theory but with how many you gotta keep buying in bulk normally just to get through your every gauntlet shittery, you'll run out of money quickly, unless you're abusing exploits or debug, which so far I've mostly avoided>Every single trainer has obnoxious movepools on their Pokemon, with either accuracy lowering shittery or stat lowering moves>>55945982No, I get that, but completely cutting the player's access to any and all other starters sucks dick, I really needed a Water type and I wanted to test the Water/Dragon Totodile, but now I can't, THANKS AYREI.
