>>26473480Some of them are balanced around using items, some are balanced around assuming you have the best possible team.
Either way, it is possible to play without grinding. I myself stopped repeating meoth stage months ago, since safaris and the daily reward are enough to pay the special stages that demand items.
>>26473745No, that was not what I said and you are also implying payments are forced, which is not true. Shuffle is well balanced in this regard. Up to this point there was no paid only event and even if you are willing to waste a lot of money, event items and pokémon can't be purchased this way.
I am not also saying that it should follow the same model, just that it is posible to make it paid without hindering players from making progress.
A one time pay and get it full is fine too, it's just that I don't think they'd lose the chance to put microtransactions. I find that acceptable in order to get it on mobile (assuming it is still good, like OP said)
