>>49588992Yeah I might just do that. Only issue is that it takes away the sense of progression and connection that comes with finding and catching your Pokémon.
Or maybe I'll just edit the ROM and try to unfuck the awful game design.
>Add more encounters to the early routes>Get rid of the arbitrary roadblocks blocking off the routes and dungeons until after you beat each Gym>Edit the absolutely insane evolution levelsSeriously people complain about Sinnoh and Johto but what the fuck is this shit?
>Earliest Mon I can catch that isn't my Starter is after the 2nd Gym, because Pinwheel Forest is arbitrarily roadblocked>Third Pokémon is after the 5th Gym, because Chargestone Cave is arbitrarily roadblocked>Fourth Pokémon is at the 6th Gym, finally some sense of freedom>5th Pokémon is after the 6th Gym, reward for backtracking, fair enough>6th Pokémon is after the 7th GymWhat is it with Gen 5 and all the weird roadblocks? Don't even try to argue that it's for balance because balance does not and never has mattered in mainline Pokémon. Sacrificing the player's freedom and exploration for muh game balance is retarded.
