>>34576545It kind of wanes on me, simply because I don’t have the time for it all to complete all the requirements just to have a competitive team. I mean creating a team with synergy, developing a strategy, and finding people who want to battle is a hassle enough.
GF still hasn't introduced Hidden Ability capsules, precise numerical value of IV/EVs for players to see, unlimited EV vitamin usage, the ability to change natures, to replace egg moves with just tutors or the option to change the pokeballs of certain Pokemon you want them to be in. You know, that basics that allow players to customize their Pokemon or make them competitive without the pointless hatching, 4 move egg move selection, EV training or IV breeding.
It took me a week of around 16 hours just to get a certain Pokemon I wanted for competitive battling. It needed 4 EMs, a certain nature, a HA, and two different 4 IV dittos. Then I have to level it up to a 100 because this Pokemon is a mixed attacker, which needs 6IVs. I wasn't having fun at all. It annoys me that I still need to do this with another Pokemon, but this Pokemon has a HP-FIRE IV spread, along with a HA, 4 EMs, and is also a mixed attacker, which means levelling it up.
To have a full party of 6 is probably going to take months. And that’s excluding gathering all the battle items, like the choice items, berries, trade evolution items, mega stones, EV training, bottle caps, or catching it and soft resetting for a certain nature and IVs then hyper training it, if its a Legendary. I wish GF made it more accessible for players who don’t have all that time, and just want to battle competitively.
