>>55322246The thing about Pokemon fans is that the majority of them are casuals who just want a glorified Tamagotchi, none of them know jack shit about the combat system beyond type advantages, they only care that Pikachu is very cute.
This is why I honestly think the only people who have ever been real Pokemon fans are compfags.
Hell, they even made their own game with Showdown, which works perfectly.
>>55321018> All you need to do is memorize a few good type matchups and blaze through the game. That's the problem, that knowing type advantage alone lets you win the game when the typings are only the surface of the combat system.
This is why one thing that needs to be done is, on top of making all battles duos or triples, they need to stop giving trainers, be it random NPCs, gyms, elite 4 etc teams based around a single type, and instead make it about a specific strategy.
The lack of difficulty means that if you jumped into the online and some rando came to you with pic related you wouldn't have any idea what to do, nor would you understand why simply bringing a Pokemon into battle will almost kill him.
