What bothers me is that they clearly see all this shit, yet no one fucking listens. The amount of shit in this game that can be compared to dicerolling is obscene. This entire system needs a redesign. I like what
>>32571596 said. THat actually sounds much more productive. But it needs a little more. I would say that you could promote actual stat growth that caps out to a point. You can have items in the game like vitamins, only they add a notch of strength to the respected stat of the Pokemon to make it far more easier. But then GameFreak would lock that behind the battle tree of the respective game, making it a slog or pointless. I don't think there's a winning move this company knows how to make.
