>>56097785The incentive to catch more Pokemon for your team isn't difficulty, it's for the sake of exploring what the game has to offer. Pokemon it's a RPG first and foremost, and one of the few japanese ones where there is a certain degree of roleplaying because you get to customize everything about your party. I'm sure the devs are well-aware of what happens if you decide to only play with one or two mons and it was fully intentional.
You create your own story where you can be a trainer who wants to make their starters a literal God among pokemon who will logically fight a lot more than individual mons sent by your opponents with a larget team, or go for a balanced "strategic" approach where your team is built around having enough coverage to deal with the level difference.
That said, I don't think it ever required too much effort out of the player to do the latter pre-exp share.
>>56097803>most of XY's problems boil down to a lack of confidence in itself. it doesn't trust itself to impress, and it doesn't trust the player to stick with it for longer than necessary. Hit the nail on the head since GF wanted to compete with phone games and indeed thought you didn't want to stick around playing a Gen6 game. That was their actual reasoning in axing the battle frontier from ORAS.
