>>55256951It's not a skill issue, if you're gonna give the player the option to do things out of order and explore in their own unique way like you do in an open world game, you shouldn't be punished for it. Why couldn't they just have all gyms start out weak, but grow stronger with each gym you defeat? So the gym leaders have different teams depending on how many badges you have. This is canon in the anime by the way.
Fucking megaman on the NES as punishing as it was at the very fucking least respected your choice to fight robot masters in different orders. How the hell does megaman on the NES pull off better game design than 2022 gamefreak?
>>55256963Literally play the damn game, utilize the early game daycare you get to gain levels, and even use it as an alternative HM deleter, use surf and strength on earlier routes, use the safari zone, etc. Guarantee you that you will have a much more fun time.
