>>28575929>You DONT HAVE a first rival battle in gen 3.Using that logic no game except gen 1 and 5 has a first rival battle because random encounters are a thing before you battle them. Saying that a first rival battle isn't one because of that is a completely ridiculous claim.
>How the hell can you still argue this is more difficult?You do realise there's nothing particularly difficult about about the first Blue rival battle right? It just comes down to using your attack and whittling away at Blue until you win unless that crit arises, which is unlikely, your victory is assured.
>Yes, Roxanne, has STAB moves, but her gym comes way, way later than Brock'sNot really, the difference is minimal. Then there's the fact exp was calculated differently in gen 3 compared to 1. Bascially it scales up in the same way as Brock does in RBY.
In any case Roxanne is still considerably more difficult than Brock is simply by being of a higher level and having those STAB moves. And one of those moves being Rock Tomb which has the added effect of a speed drop.
>You still haven't refuted any of my points about gen 3 being easier,Which doesn't mean much from the person who's going to stick his fingers in his ears ignore them when they've been said. I suggest you read my previous post properly this time.
