If I get it, it'll be down the road and possibly second-hand rather than new from a retailer.

I'm watching a gameplay stream right now and someone spent a lot of time exploring the Wild Area, and because catching pokemon gives you exp he ended up with 6 pokemon around level 20, then in the next town fought his rival who was like level 12. I never minded catching giving you exp before, but now it's terrible design because it de-incentivizes you from exploring the Wild Area out of fear of trivializing the game.

Bro didn’t you make $130/hr??? :ha :ha

Yeah look at my team above. I continued to train in the wild area and then battled the rival. 3 attacks to destroy his team. What a joke.

The first gym isn’t even in that massive town. You have to go through all of these cutscenes just to enter the “gym challenge”. Like fuck off, I was expecting that to be the first gym. Waste of time.

barring trying to fight higher level mons in the wilds, this is easily the easiest Pokemon game ever

Not unexpected. I hope they do as many as they can, though I suspect this project will lose steam quickly.

I don’t see why the game wouldn’t just come with them. Either way based on how simple this game is, I don’t think having the national dex available would impact my enjoyment of the game too much.

My guess is they didn't want/couldn't put in every mon due to time constraints.

I don't care how cheap the games are, that's my money going to Gamefreak.

To my understanding the most fun people seem to have with this game are the high level raids in the postgame. I'm sure with friends that kind of thing is fun.

I’m actually surprised that I only dislike the water starters evolution line. Thought for sure all three would look like shit.

So I’ve made it to the Chanpions Cup. Why the fuck do you have to battle the gym leaders again? I literally just beat them all :ha
