>>380162261. It makes the game dull and removes almost all challenge so there's not much interest in going to far post game when you realize it's just a smaller version of Kanto and the challenge hasn't moved much at all.
2. Elemental punches are usable by fewer Pokémon, tms in general this gen are trash as they were in gen 1.
3. Annoying and nothing more, I could care less really.
4. Complainer needs to get good. That miltank is basically the only challenge in the game.
5. It makes him beyond a pushover especially since they're at evolution level.
6. Never had a problem with Marty, but as far as him only using the Ghastly line, ghost got shafted in gen2 for new reps.
7. Stop excusing dull team set ups as "lol it's never been challenging lol" that's not an argument. Again it makes supposedly powerful trainers feel like pushovers. Not a good showcase for a new type.
8. See above
9. It does a poor job of showcasing what few new Pokémon there are in the game. Part of the fun of gym leaders in gen 1 was seeing what Pokémon these elite gym leaders were using, Pokémon you hadn't seen before, then trying to hunt them down yourself. The mystery and wonder is gone if you're seeing the same stuff as before.
