so I'm almost done with my second island. I have a full team of 6 with pretty well-rounded type coverage & movesets, and I have literally not used a single Z-move in any battle. I haven't done any grinding, and I haven't blacked out once. I'm getting flashbacks to X, which I beat the Champion in without ever losing a single battle. Shit was anticlimactic and unfulfilling as fuck.

game freak what the fuck
there better be an insane fucking difficulty spike coming up soon

(also I bred a shitton of all three starters, anyone want some?)
