>i don't like itwell no one says that you have to play by their rules in cartridges or in other metagames
>it's too complicated!the game itself, with its hundreds of different pokemon, the hundreds of moves, hundreds of abilities, and countless team match-up and possibility of things that could happen in a single match are daunting enough. if you can't memorize a _single_ pokemon that you shouldnt need to prepare of just to make a team, you probably shouldn't play the game itself
