>>49591390It's the same in BDSP.
I typically use whatever my lowest level Pokemon is first in order to level my team of 6 evenly. In BDSP that's borderline impossible.
>starter is constantly overleveled since he's been in my team longest. Only used him three times throughout the 8 gyms>catching a level 22 Pokemon for my level 40 team still means I have to grind it up to be even with the rest of the team. To do this makes my team more overleveled or requires me to not use them at all.>can't catch all the wild Pokemon in a route like I normally like to do without being overleveled due to catching EXP + forced Share>feel the need to avoid the genuinely cool underground dens because of thisBasically if I want to play the way I want, like how I was before gen 8, I have to go so far out of my way to compensate for these retarded design decisions. It's like they didn't even playtest that shit.
Also I'm an SMTfag and using their EXP system as some "gotcha" is retarded. Their difficulties are widely different and you are expected to fuse, not just gain EXP for progression.
