>>29512985I enjoy planning my teams because I enjoy playing with nice-looking pokemon, but I'm going to accept whatever the nature is without re-trying (except for legendaries), I'm not going to breed anything or try to get good IVs or EVs or go out of my way to gain any advantages.
Furthermore, I will not use any healing items, or reviving items, or battle items, or any other non-essential items.
That's good enough for me. I don't need to be 'hardcore' about pokemon playthroughs.
