>>45792559>it beats every other strategy very easily and is very easy to achieveYou're pretending as if everyone who picks up a Pokemon game will play it like in that South Park WoW episode, grinding to a full team to level 100 on Route 1 Rattatas, and only then moving on to other things. It doesn't work like that, most people are not terminally autistic. Sure, they MIGHT overlevel their starter only because it never leaves their team, but contrary to what you seem to believe, most people don't actually enjoy running in circles and kicking shitmons around for hours, they want to play the fucking game. So most people won't grind at all, and when they challenge a gym leader, they'll try to come up with a strategy first because grinding is fucking boring. However, some people MIGHT choose to grind, and why would you need to police them?
>Also master sword is not that game's mewtwo, getting it doesn't give you a serious advantage as it breaks regularly.It runs out of energy, which is easily recovered and you don't fight THAT many enemies in the first place. I remember my Master Sword running out of juice only a few times when I was grinding Guardians. Mewtwo, on the other hand, won't give a struggling player that much advantage because it's not literal God mode, it can get nuked like any other Pokemon.
>you need to complete 40 shrines which is about 4 regions worth of the gameEarly shrines would take you 10 minutes on average, they're all pretty damn self-explanatory. So that's ~6 hours of shrines, which is tiny compared to how long BotW could be.
>including them improves the experience of the game for those that don't want to overlevelIf people don't want to overlevel, they can just rotate their team. It's not such back-breaking work. Meanwhile, you don't seem to give a shit about the other side of the argument, since you don't mind taking options away from them if it means that you don't have to interact with the dreaded storage system one too many times.
