>>11730183Getting a Riolu that early makes the game even easier than it already was.
BW and BW2, by far, spent the most time holding your hand and are just generally way too easy. There's no challenge, no sense of purpose. Exploring the region isn't even fun because you just go in a fucking circle, it's way too linear.
If they're gonna give you shit like Lucario that early at least make the trainers you fight difficult. I'm sick of seeing trainers with level 65 Pidgeys and shit like that post-game too.
