>>44516801I'm not even talking about the 'good AI' shenanigans, thats a given, I'm talking about how gym leader/rival/the E4 who don't have 'good AI' outspeeding your pokemon or living a hit from them and then they just never attack you, because iirc most trainers in the game are programmed to just select moves randomly or use random items that don't help them. It is admittedly pretty rare to see on one playthrough of the game, but if you played through it a lot as a kid, you were bound to see it happen quite often.
Again, say all you want about how mind fuckingly easy XY and SwSh are, but at least the bosses in those games do try and fight you.
