>>31058000>playing through SM againNot a chance. Even if there was some semblance of a challenge this time around, the amount of cutscenes was so beyond ridiculous there's no way I could force myself through that.
They should just have a fucking difficulty setting. Make it some weird button combination like deleting your save on ORAS so the kiddos can't accidentally pick the wrong difficulty. There's no excuse for this bullshit anymore; SM literally has trainers with a single underevolved pokemon ~10 levels below the curve as late as the fourth island. There's a Team Skull grunt in Po Town that has like a level 25 spinarak or something. What the fuck?
It's actually to the point that I really can't keep playing these games anymore. The entire combat/team building system is completely undermined by the fact that there isn't a single remotely challenging encounter in the entire game. And competitive battling on the cart is the worst it's ever been since there's like nine million legendaries in this game and none of them are banned, so if you want to make a team with your favorite mons you just get annihilated by ultra beasts and broken megas. Fuck SM
