>>29273137Alright, I'll humor you.
Let's say I'm an 11-year-old. Just started middle school. I promised myself I wouldn't use my phone to look up anything about the game.
I love Pokemon Go, but I've never played the main games before. My parents got me the game and I'm super excited!
Okay cool, so I know this part. I pick a starter, and they are Water, Fire, and Grass. I'll pick the fire one.
Okay, so I get that those three work like rock paper scissors east.
I play the game a bit, and I start meeting wild pokemon. I have, no idea what their types are, unless I can infer. Some are easy. Some, are not at all. And there's 800.
So, not only do I not know almost any of the times, or how the 18 of them match up, I also don't know the types of 800, not 150, but 800 pokemon.
So literally, it stops being about strategy. It stops being about planning a team, and just picking the ones you like. It becomes a game of trial and error, like hide n seek. It becomes a game of figuring out what the hell everything does, and only once you start to get towards maybe the last quarter of the game, you starter memorizing all that shit.
And if that's the game you want to play as an 11 year old with a short attention span, if that's ACTUALLY fun for you. Then fine. Enjoy yourself.
But I am very sure, that that is not the game, most people are enjoying.
