>>28758563This. Johtofags will twist things around to fit their "perfect game" argument no matter what. The best part is the fact that it has a shit level curve regardless of if you consider Kanto postgame or not.
If you consider it postgame, then there's no reason for the massive spikes in level between trainers/wild mons and bosses, or the poor viability of catching an underleveled wild mon lategame.
If you consider it part of the main story, then you get the problem of having a sudden level jump to 50 mid game after a bunch of level 30s and the occasional level 40, because the idiots at Gamefreak decided to put a League midway through the game.
HGSS level curve is shit no matter how you slice it.
