>>36511736I do think US/UM honestly nailed the Boss fights. The Totems really did feel like a step-up in Pokémon boss fights and I sincerely hope that whatever direction Gen 8 takes, they'll try to keep the improvements to gameplay Gen 7 made for boss fights.
Obviously, I am not expecting LGPE to use this formula, but I don't think they'll be the braindead "nerfed" fights /vp/ is making them out to be either. I keep seeing the idea that EXP Share is mandatory for this game, despite there being zero proof of the fact. I think it's safe to say that if EXP Share can be turned off like every other game in the series, then this will be the objectively most challenging iteration of Kanto we have ever had. Higher levels, stronger bosses, updated typing and stats and moves, ect.
If /vp/ is somehow right and EXP Share is mandatory, then it will depend on how well GF balances the game around this. We know, from the higher levels, that they are aware and have made alterations to take a different level curve, and maybe they did a good job. US/UM had a good level curve. But I have serious fucking doubts about it being mandatory, it just smells like fear mongering, like a lot of other complaints /vp/ had that were debunked.
