I will never understand the poketurd logic of grinding = difficulty. Why do you think forced EXP share has been a thing since the 90s? If you tell a fan of any other franchise that it's fun to spend hours farming against level 5 mobs, they would think your mentally ill. But not the pokekek. They've been domesticated and humiliated into accepting this. They think their piss easy children's games have any sense of difficulty.
Those of use in the more elite JRPG gaming circles laugh at you pathetic manchildren.
