>>49479075BDSP has no fun mechanics to abuse, it's like FRLG, the original experienced with a worse artstyle and sanitized mechanics.
PLA absolutely has jank to abuse and it's absolutely fun, fag.
>Can drop off Braviary from on high to drop behind Alphas and get back shots>Can back out of a battle, open the menu to heal your whole team, and then re-enter the battle and pokemon will still have the same HP as when you ran, perfect for hunting wild Alphas>By cycling pokemon you can have all 6 harvesting at once if you have enough resource nodes nearbyIt's a fucking mess and there's fun to be had in the messiness. I can't think of a single non-action RPG that doesn't boil down to just having fun with the quirks in the mechanics. Besides modern competitive driven Pokemon, which is why Gens 3-8 have complete non-encounters in main-game singleplayer, the only way to perform well in the games is with an ultra bred team, leaving the main game utterly toothless to account for playthroughs where clueless children happen upon Pokemon with abysmal IVs and are crippled all game.
