>>37975131>A) is the absence of wild battles for training really that much worse?Kind of. If you get a catch combo going, space out, and catch a bunch of a pokemon you get retarded exp points and it doesn't take long for those caught pokemon to start having nearly perfect IVs. It makes the game too easy, just for running into an overworld model and flicking your wrist. At one point I just said fuck it, decided to shiny hunt a shiny pinsir and I was so overpowered the rest of the game it was even more boring.
>B) what can you do after e4 (except mewtu) are master trainers satisfiying?master trainers are boring. You either grind a fucking metapod or give it a bunch of metapod candies to steam roll them. repeat 150 times. There's nothing else to do. I guess you can refight gym leaders/green but like i said earlier, because of how broken candies are, battles against NPCs aren't even worth doing.
