I’ve been on a huge GBA pokemon game kick recently and now I’m going to take on the battle frontier / trainer tower. I also plan to eventually port these pokemon forward to play on the battle subway with a friend, so I’ve been EV training in FireRed and… holy crap this is grindy. I’ve just been killing paras and pidgey over and over, it really does feel like the South Park bit. The one thing I have to give the 3d pokemon games is that getting “competitively viable” pokemon is a lot easier.
