>>26903053>MUH CASUALIZATION! >MUH CHALLENGEHonestly, OP, if people wanted to use the logic you presented as the basis of what is and isn't a challenge, then we would be making progress on what is actually difficult about Pokemon.
Instead, we have a bunch of edgelords who think that they need to endlessly grind to beat something and call it some sort of blatant achievement.
When something becomes a grind, there is no challenge to it.
I mean, jesus fucking christ, look at World of Warcraft. PVE enough (grinding) and you'll have enough gear to make everything PVE-related to be beaten. By the time you HAVE that gear, the encounters are moot since you'll have them all memorized by then.
And then you just go RIGHT back to grinding, with no way to make it tolerable in the slightest, because there is no WoW equivalent to the X/Y EXP Share.
