>>41417459>How the game is meant to be playedYou mean I'm NOT supposed to listen to the game constantly showing me where to go while holding my hand?
You mean catching them all when the devs removed pokemon so you couldn't?
You mean grinding out pokemon to be tens of levels higher than what you face?
I'm following the game. At 6 hours in I have my 5th badge, and apparently the next 3 and whatever comes after only takes up a few more hours. I simply just followed the path the game put me on. "Go here, this is where the next gym is!" and I actually go there. I do stop to do things along the way, such as making curry and doing small things like making fossils. My pokemon are only around 3 levels higher than the NPCs.
I am homestly completely unsure what you think the right way to play the game is. For me, I feel like I'm on a pretty narrow and obvious path, especially concerning the levels and what was told to me in-game. What, am I supposed to go do raids halfway through to pad out time before completing the game?
