>>35898014>"It's to teach new players about type-matchups"Dosen't Professer Oak teach you about type-matchups during your first fight with Blue? Even then, types matchups are things that are "soft learned" (Made that up myself) Throughout the game.
During battle you're gonna lean that some move have greater or lesser effect on certain pokemon, so why the fuck did they put in this unnecessary pit-stop when the game actively teaches you about what what this dude teaches, but better and dosen't slow the pacing?
I'm honestly losing hope for gen 8 rn.
