>>54314045I'm playing it for the third time as we speak. That said imagine being so bad at a game designed for children that you had to, and I quote, stay in hyper mode and pray for shadow rush crits.
Colosseum aren't hard and they give you TMs. Mt. Battle isnt hard and you can use coupons on genuinely useful TMs and items. The game, shockingly, expects you to do more than blitz the main story. And even that is completely doable as long as you have even a small amount of skill because you can just spam Espeon+Typhlosion/Feraligatr for the entire game. You'll have trouble with the Ho-oh challenge because it'll make snagging more of a pain than a balanced team, but you can do it.
