>>34259677>Aping the limitations of a difficulty setting doesn't preclude it from being a difficulty setting.It does when the thing in question isn't actually labeled as a difficulty setting anywhere.
>How the fuck is it a "spoiler" to see a Pokemon's name or to see the Pokemon one second later? Maybe I want to be surprised about whether or not the Pokemon is brand new while it's being sent out instead of reading its name and having some of that ruined.
>You seriously think this was Gamefreak's concern when they made Set mode?Yes. Just like it was their concern to make the game move faster when having a fast text option. If I don't like switching Pokemon often then there's no reason for me to see the switch prompt and it wastes time.
>>34259681>So games that start on normal or easy?It's explicitly labeled as "normal" or "easy" so I know it's normal or easy. And pretty much every game gives you an option before playing rather than leaving it as a hidden default.
>And yes Exp Share IS a difficulty setting. No it's not, it's just dumb fanboys like you who made that up because it used to be so horribly balanced that you had to cover Game Freak's ass. If the exp share wasn't a difficulty setting in gen 1-5 it isn't a difficulty setting now. Game Freak hasn't mentioned or implied anywhere whether or not it's meant to be a difficulty setting. It's all conjecture by fanboys.
