>>47410732>defending trade evolutions in the year of our Lord 2021You need, help, m8, they were shit in gen 1 and they're still shit now.
>Shinies are valuableLolno, I can inject a fucking billion of them if I wanted and make them look legit if I want, anything that's as easy to mass-produce as shinies is inherently worthless.
>EV and IV nonsenseAh, you mean shit that's completely worthless in the single player campaign but is a necessary treadmill you have to put yourself through if you want to even touch online? Yeah, SMT doesn't do that, because Shin Megagay Tensai doesn't have fucking online PvP and the games are designed in a way where you don't need to fucking grind and breed shit to just play the goddamn games.
>As varied as Pokemon's?Yes, motherfucker, do you really think fucking pokemon of all things has the most complex passives in the genre? Goddamn, nigger, actually play something outside of your fucking pokemon bubble for once.
