>>45613242>You also didn't explain how any of those things don't matterOk, let's say items and abilities are in the game.
I fight this guy in Rock Tunnel. I have Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Charmander on my team.
If items and abilities are in the game, I start with Bulbasaur, use Razor Leaf three times, and beat him.
If items and abilities aren't in the game, I start with Bulbasaur, use Razor Leaf three times, and beat him.
How did having items and abilities improve the game here?
