>>51049093>Gen 2 introduced breeding which is problem a that has plagued Pokemon untilThe issue with this argument is the idea that if you remove breeding, it removes the reason for it.
Especially as the real reason toward this trend was a new payoff for good IVs; Hidden Power. Which is by far the much worse mechanic from gen 2.
Nah, something that barely does anything isn't really shit; its just kinda there. It clearly didn't take time to develop, its not really a shilled feature.
Its just a strange random event.
Battle Facilities are RNG fests because pokemon itself is an RNG fest, its literally just a renewable endgame for pokemon.
Which while the games faults make it massively inferior to actual multiplayer, it is an option and it does exactly what you think. Its a pretty good addition that unshockingly just happens to get old after awhile.
>>51049167Natures are an okay mechanic thats somewhat bloated and happens to tie into some places that really didn't need more shit on top.
I suppose they could be called shit just because of that, if there wasn't so many and stuff like your starter could avoid it somehow it'd be good.
EVs sorta suffer the same fate of "good idea, but actually think how it'll work ingame next time".
>IVs No these existed with DVs, technically it added an extra IV but this isn't gen 3 otherwise.
