>>35000682Because they suck at designing the game for actual teams of 6 pokémon.
Honestly, I don't know why people keep pushing 6 pokémon teams, it makes the game annoying garbage that forces you to grind every other time. That's what happened to me on USUM.
>but muh challenge!Yeah enjoy spamming items and cheap tricks in order to beat 1 (ONE) battle. I've been doing full-fledge no faint runs (not a nuzlocke) with teams of 5 pokémon in which I'll reset the game if a mon faints and I return to the last checkpoint in which I saved. It's been fun as hell on each generation except for USUM (I had a team of 6 because I found a shiny somewhere in the middle of the game and wanted to use it) where I threw that option out the window because I refused to grind due to it being boring and shit.
