>>32497162Thank you.
I have this one friend who especially infuriates me about this, especially since she's an experienced player and knows what she's doing yet still does it and still complains. I played through Sun with my in-game caught team and had a good challenge vs. the Elite Four and against Kukui, with things getting pretty intense, so I had fun. She on the other hand traded for all of her Pokemon and grinded like no tomorrow as soon as she got them, so her exp on her team was obviously very high and she streamrolled everyone and called the run/fights boring.
What people don't understand is Game Freak can't accommodate everyone's different approaches to the game, so some people will call it boring and some people will call it just right and other people will purposely avoid calling the game hard to protect their ego/shield from criticism and instead call certain things annoying. Even if they made the game harder, the people who like to grind will adapt to it and grind harder and steamroll it again. Challenges are pointless because people can look things up online now, and again, some will deflect and just call them annoying/a chore instead of acknowledging difficulty.
