Exp share sucks because the games were never grindy. Unironically you can play the old games with 10+ mons on rotation and never have to grind, it’s just that you’ll simply be at a lower overall level, probably around the same level as the regular trainers. If anything that was why they were so enjoyable, it added challenge for those who wanted it. Nowadays you literally can’t be underleveled unless you actively skip just about every single battle, and even then, if you try to actually fill out the dex you’ll be involuntarily assaulted with loads of exp that you don’t want or need. Exp gain is everywhere, it’s unavoidable and always in excessive supply

I'd rather have a game that's challenging without having to gimp myself like a retard and doesn't make using more than 1 pokemon utterly pointless.

Skill issue. The game gives you badge boosts, which boost stats AND type damage, plus the AI isn't even particularly good, boss trainers use 1 item each, sometimes not even a full restore, and they use monotype teams. If that's not enough to account for the level difference then you're fucking dogshit and need to git gud.

No, fuck that, I'm not going to pay for a pokemon game or any dlc ever again. Hell, I refuse to play any pokemon games after HGSS on principle because I've played Shitnova and it's dogshit, same with everything that came after. None of them were worth finishing. Pokemon is a dead franchise and every new release is just Nintendo puppeting the corpse.

you could steamroll any pokemon game by overleveling a single mon and spamming items or you could make a team of 6 to have more variety and fun.
the fact you're tryharding a fucking kids game and thinking you need to minmax with a single powerful mon is your first mistake

If you give a 6 year old Red/Blue they'll most likely only use the starter, if you give a 6 year old S/V it's hard to predict what their heavy hitter will be (though it's most likely the starter)

Why is that relevant? All that proves is both games are easy but only 1 requires actual effort to train more mons.

BP farming really showed that grinding never was the problem just that faggots will ALWAYS defend GF's stupid game design. Grinding is fine if the game play loop is fun. But nobody play test these games anymore to see.

>Training more Pokémon takes more skill
Seems logical enough to me. If you were a dog trainer irl it would be exactly the same, it’s inherently harder to train more things. There’s obviously the trade off of having more tools at your disposal so in terms of pure capability it’s more of a side grade, but the more Pokémon you train the more you’ll be relying on diverse movesets, types, abilities, etc, and the possible strategies these things open up for you, rather than raw power and stats, so the game inherently becomes more skill based the more Pokémon you choose to train. Not to mention the exp share actually worsens the issue because instead of making using one Pokémon harder, they made using more Pokémon even easier.

You can win just as reliably by making use of an expanded toolset as relying on pure level and stat advantages, it’s just that the former requires knowledge of the game system to use effectively where the latter requires nothing out of the player. Do you consider using fail-safe features like the invincibility leaf in Mario to be “good strategy”? Do you think players who don’t use it are playing poorly? Is that how games work in your head?

It doesn’t make the game bad, it makes training a Pokémon a conscious decision that asks something of the player. Loads of games have optional challenges with 0 incentive to beat them aside from the satisfaction of overcoming a challenge. That’s not bad game design because some players are going to want challenge intrinsically. It’s nonsense to assume any game that isn’t designed around winning being a players ONLY priority is badly designed.

Training more than 1 Pokemon should not be an "optional challenge with 0 incentive to beat them" that's the whole point of the game is to make a balanced team, that's the whole point of gyms is to show how imbalanced teams are bad.
