>>30230429>Not him but the gen 7 zam would be more viable because of hyper training, ability capsules, mega evolution and other such methods and strategies that open possibilities.>Your gen 1 one would be useless however because there's no way to change it and in a competitive environment you would always lose because of the strict mechanics present. Not to mention stat xp is pointless when there's no cap total. Anyone can level each stat to the max so it makes no difference in the end so the deciding factor would always be the random factor of IVs.Actually, the biggest trouble would be having a pokemon like Starmie or Tauros outspeeding your Zam.
I'm not saying that gen 1 is perfect (whch is why I put it behind 5), but that it is more pleasing than gen 7 for me.
>>30230566>You do realise in gen 1 the end game is, literally just rebattling the E4 over again and again right?>I don't think you can talk about fun when you like such a repetitive and easy task.As I said, I like leveling and battling on Stadium.
Some of the stronger ones like Starmie and Tauros I took the effort to level to 100 for Prime Cup, but most are on 50 to 55 for Poke Cup.
Registering pokemon on Stadium's Hall of Fame is fun to me...
>>30230610I'm getting the Rare Candies from the cafes, it's one per day right?
Even when you consider playing on max efficiency, it's a huge amount of time to get your egg moves, a Hidden Ability, get to level 100 and gather the shards for Bottle Caps.
My argument isn't really how viable it is to turn my random pokemon into strong pokemon, but rather the simplicity. If they let you change natures and learn egg moves and hidden abilities without having to breed I'd be much happier.
