>>29533672Gamefreak has been doing this shit for 20 years now, and they still have the amateurish incompetence of an actual tech illiterate. They struck gold with Pokemon as a franchise, but they have no idea how to polish it. The best they can do is hose it down and present the wet and deformed nuggets.

Mt. Battle was also a perfect location to simultaneously introduce the player to more competitive concepts and offer a zone where they could grind. It's probably my favorite battle facility.
