>>58534462Not going to dismiss your feelings towards it, but I would raise some concern over the idea that even just 30 minutes (which wont even be the case for next season, you'll probably get rank S within 5 matches) of an activity being "a slog"
>>58534465Yeah I agree it would have been nicer if they were obtainable in a side mission or something (like a sequel side mission to follow up the narratives from the initial side missions you had to do to get the starters.) I went with Emboar as my starter so mega gren was always going to be the Kalos starter I kept on the team for my playthrough regardless (even tho I'm more interested in the other 2 overall.) But I feel like it was also just intentional to get people to at least dip their toes into the multiplayer. I was actually surprised how I was enjoying the multiplayer when getting the gren stone, would be nice however if there could be other game modes to play in, like 2v2s or an objective based mode to freshen up the sandbox and to create different metas. I'll just be retiring my Emboar and saving the mega delphox stone for my DLC playthrough later.
