>>37533591I enjoy the held items and abilites. It makes mons more unique and creates a huge variance for using different movesets with the same mons even in game. Im not big into vgc and i love iv training pokemon for post game battles. I also enjoy collecting the varied pokemon to store on either box rs, Pokemon ranch or pokebank. Pkemon is a fairly basic rpg, lgpe made it an extremely basic bitch rpg. Even rgb had more depth than stuff candy down your pokemons throat until its diabetic. I think the candies ate the worst thing thats ever happened to pokemon. It makes levels worthless. Why level up when you can just feed a level 1 caterpie some candy and it can go toe to toe with a level 35 charizard? The battles are shit, the gyms are dumbed down to the point you cant even enter them unless you have the right mons/moves/levels. Absolute bullshit, so is the "QaULiTy oF LiFe" argument, why do you need to be lazy playing a videogame? They are supposed to be a bit tedious. Thats like making traveling in basketball legal, "the nba has come to a decision that dribbling is too tedious while playing, so you can just run while holding the ball so it doesnt confuse people." Its a fucking rpg, i figured it out as a kid play rgb/gs, there is no reason to dumb it down more than it already is.
