>>51378819i've been saying this for years, emerald is the most unbalanced game in the entire series, it's much worse than johto, yet nostalgiafags keep putting it on a pedestal for some reason and i can't understand why.
why does everyone always point out the mahogany hideout -> radio tower sequence in gsc/hgss, but never the mt. pyre -> magma hideout -> aqua hideout -> mossdeep space center -> seafloor cavern sequence in emerald? FIVE fucking bullshit underlevelled evil team bases ALMOST CONSEQUETIVELY.
https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Appendix:Emerald_walkthrough i finally gave in and gave emerald a go a few weeks ago and was absolutely mind blown at how many times i shifted from severely underlevelled to severely overlevelled. and that was with a team of 5 until lilycove. and to top it all off, after going through all this shit and battling damn near every optional trainer in the water routes, my team barely made it to level 42 by the pokemon league. for reference, my average finishing level for johto is 38. so what the fuck are people praising this game for exactly? i mean, did they even play test this fucking game? it's a fucking mess.
maybe that hoennfag behind every shitpost schizo wasn't so schizo after all.
