>>37996017While I do agree with you I'll say Gamefreak is slowly learning how to keep Exp. Share the way it currently is while keeping some dificulty around. Gen 7 not only changed the exp system so it works like in Gen 5's (meaning you get punished for fighting low level mons with less exp) but they also used the entire Poni island to test a situation where you're more or less encouraged to use it due to a sudden difficutly spike. Also the bosses are competitively trained now meaning even things like a Crabobinable 6 levels below you can one shot you with Ice Hammer and survive one .
(just one) hit.
That being said, I would love if you had to activate the item manually like with older games since most of the game still isn't balanced around it.
>>37996194Nah. I think that's neccesary since it incentivates people to catch new mons even if you're not planning to use them (aka pokedex completion)
