Nice

Ya, all these pokemon drugs/candies should only be available after defeating champion, cuz no one is going to focus on competitive before completing the game and start ev training

Same, that’s how I played Pokémon BaW years ago, all my Pokémon are at least level 80 and I love them all so much. My starter was a tepig and now he’s a big strong boy. Even though I beat the game I still love to go back and explore and such, very nostalgic.

I do the same thing. I like hatching eggs of the Pokémon I’m about to train and train it from level 1. It just feels like you’re better connected to your pokemon

I have a Charizard currently in my Pokemon y game, then I originally took from fire Red the game boy advance remake of first gen, and I've transferred her through games to keep her in the most current game that I'm playing, so I always have my Charizard with me. I named her Angelus

I love Gyarados so much. I would get Magikarp every single game and switch train it and it felt so good every time he leveled-up/evolved. If only I could have my own real life Gyardos, we'd be besties for sure.

@@dieabsolutegluckskuche5174 I mean to be fair if youre referencing the dlc its not that different from having 3rd versions like emerald or platinum If youre just talking about the base game's plot being rushed then yea youre totally right

@@dubiousdeliquite6641 Neither I liked those. Just a money grab. I won't own any Pokémon Game anymore, I just play online battles in the www. And hope for a good alternative.

@@dieabsolutegluckskuche5174 I mean for me it mostly just depends on which game it is. B2w2 and the swsh dlcs add enough for it to feel worth the purchase but ones like emerald and platinum that just tweak the climax a little bit arent Plus it also depends on whether or not you take advantage of pokemon's replayability. Since you can have an entirely different team every single playthrough I find that im able to play a pokemon game like 5 times through before I start getting bored of it (spacing out the playthroughs a bit of course) The best example I can think of to explain it is comparing it to breath of the wild. Theyre both 60 dollars, but breath of the wild is worth it since its an amazing experience that I played twice while pokemon is worth it because its a fun yet simple experience that I got to experience like 6 times. So is a single playthrough of sword and shield worth 60 dollars? No. Is it still going to pay for itself since ive replayed it like 4 or 5 times doing nuzlockes, typelocks, and soul links in the past year since it came out? Yup

I remember putting in a ton of work on a Magikarp to get a Gyarados. A long process, but so worth it

Nah, we went from mindless grinding to exp candies, don’t try to make it sound better then what it is.

@@IamTealeaf lol another mid 2000s baby

I mean, you could easily just not use the xp candies if you think its too easy. Switch training still exists, so its only your fault if you purposefully decide to take the easy way out And its not like being stuck at a gym with level 40s while all the wild pokemon and trainers are only level 25 is that fun. You arent "learning how to use them in battle" youre just spamming ember at rattatas until you run out of pp. The old games arent hard, theyre just tedious, and thats coming from someone who grew up with firered and leafgreen. The only pokemon game thats actually difficult is ultra sun and moon, because the npcs actually have good strategies, evs, and move-sets

@@dubiousdeliquite6641 Switch training? Exp.share is permanent and cannot be turned off, Easy way out? You mean disregard the fastest way to train Pokémon in a game legitimately? Been playing Pokémon since the 90s, you don’t need and never have needed level 70s or 80s to beat the game. Most of the time levels 30-50s can do it easily enough. My complaint is the fact the developers aren’t trying to make the game challenging anymore, they aren’t fleshing out the game anymore, instead they are putting a 1 zone to rule them all kinda system, instead of making players have to explore they just hand feed you levels experience and plot points now. I mean did you even see the caves in sword and shield? Literally could just push up on the joystick and look away for a few seconds. Compare that to mt.moon in red, people would get lost in that cave, (they had to hand out escape ropes ffs) I mean you would get a sense of “oh crap will I make it out alive” compared to sword and shield which is more along the lines of “oh crap I’ve got to start a camp because one of my Pokémon is tired” I’m not saying exp candies and exp.share are bad system, but they are the only systems in the game that you can use now. Instead of making them systems that can be accessed at the end of the game or at the midway point, they open them up to you at the VERY start. I mean you can hoard candies, go capture a level 1 random and BAM it’s level XX. The second you catch it. My biggest complaint is that these systems have made any other training method invalid or impossible now. You can’t just walk through grass now because randomly “extremely strong” Pokémon will attack, (which for some dumb reason you can’t even capture) You can’t switch train because of exp,share, You can’t turn off those systems either. I mean, when you can “train” several teams up to the 40s-50s in just a handful of hours, before even facing the first gym . The game is broken

@@therealdontclickme except you are still the one making the decision to feed your pokemon xp candies. Xp candies dont make other training methods "impossible", they just give lazy people or older players who are too busy to spend time grinding an option to train up their pokemon. If YOU decide to feed them to your pokemon then YOU are the one whose made the game easy. If I trade over the team I beat the elite 4 with from firered to emerald and used them to sweep through the game that doesnt mean emerald is some baby game, it just means that I used an option available to me to make the game easy Ive done a few nuzlockes in sword and shield, and every time I essentially have 10 or so pokemon rotating through my team. I dont use xp candies, but I do fight every trainer available. The end result is that im almost always on-level. The only time I got noticeably overleveled was the fire gym, but after that there was a bit of a level jump and it rebalanced itself soon after. And I always have my lowest level pokemon at the front of the party, and that position was constantly changing because while yes the xp share does make it easier to keep everyone up switch training still exists since the pokemon used in battle get twice as much xp as those who are just given the share Either way I just dont get why people are whining about xp candies when they are totally optional. Xp share? Sure I can understand that, but dont blame the game designers just because you dont have any self control. Same thing goes for camping. I only use the camp feature to play with my pokemon, but I dont feed them because it heals them and gives them affection benefits Part of what I like about pokemon is that even when its easy and designed for kids you can still impose rules that make it difficult and fun thanks to the nature of an rpg where your party members arent chosen by the story. X and y are baby-easy, but I can still make them difficult and fun by doing a nuzlocke where I train and rotate between 3 teams, making me always be underleveled. As long as you have the self control to give yourself a challenge then pokemon is the best of both worlds. Tldr if you dont like xp candies then just dont use them you numbskull

Yea, i think people are wrong when they say the old games are hard, because its not actual difficulty its just tediousness. Having to grind up 10 levels on pokemon 5 levels below you for 3 hours isnt fun. And while yea xp candies are op the thing is they arent mandatory. If you feed your pokemon xp candies and get them 15 levels higher than the gym then you only have yourself to blame for it being easy

Literally me. "OH, they gave this to me for free outside Mount Moon. It must be special. I will try and use it. Wait it can't hurt them... I'll switch out. Oh it got exp that way. Lets keep doing that!" I'm sure I'm not the only one and people in Japan are generally smarter imo.

They can't. At least not without locking it behind beating the game or something like that, which I'll say now would get more people upset than there are about these systems being a thing in the first place.

Keep the exp share but make it so you can switch it off. It's not a hard fix but it's still somwhow a sore spot in the community.

You do remember that the Exp.All existed in gen1, right? Sure, it wasn't available as early as Magikarp, but it was still entirely feasible to use that, rather than switch training, to evolve one and still have it be relevant. After all, you'd be facing wild 'mon with levels in the 20s on Route 15, where you got the Exp.All, and Gyarados got Bite at 20 and Dragon Rage at 25.

Hey at least you evolve by being level 20 and not being traded Not like some the others(exemple : Onix)

Ive been looking for god do you know where he is lord Arceus?

Go look up magikarp jump

you can have a garydos long before then... A guy sells magicarp in the pokecenter at the entrance to Mt. moon.

@@trevorrobaldo319 My point was about not having to do switch training to evolve magikarp, nothing else. Instead of painfully switch training the mt moon magikarp to lvl 20 before Misty, you could have used that time to reach Celadon City. Switch training is really that bad and slow, not mentioning unfun. Using the day care for the lvl 5 mt moon magikarp gets you the best of both worlds, you would have a gyrados before lavander town, and would not have lost hours switch training instead of playing. Switch training is the equivalent of grinding 3 hours in the starting area of an rpg, only to get a weapon equivalent in power of what you can buy in the next area, which is accessible 10 minutes from the start.

I wish there was an option to turn off the free exp share and exp candies until after the E4

Yeah. This. I loved how in Black and White there was a 'hard mode' for after you beat the game the first time, and I LOVED that. It didn't really add much, but, it was a nice attempt at something I am ABSOLUTELY AMAZED has not made it into the game yet - A difficulty setting. Smarter AI, for one thing.. But also outlevelling your opponents is just insanely easy, and not just easy but to the point you can barely even avoid doing it... I realise grinding is something you want to avoid, but they could put them up some 5-10 levels on the end content and it wouldn't be an issue at all.

Then just dont use the xp candies numbskull. Nobody is running in as soon as you get them and shoving them down your pokemon's throat, just go sell them at the pokemart

@@dubiousdeliquite6641 I didn't. The game was still ridiculously easy. The old school exp share gave 50% exp to the battling pokemon and 50% to the one holding the item. Sword/Shield's automatic exp share gives 100% to the battling pokemon and 50% to every other pokemon in your party. There's no need to ever grind or switch train. And then on top of that, maximizing their friendship at the pokecamp lets them do even more. You get: +20% experience Decent chance of enduring a hit that would have knocked it out Chance of recovering from status conditions Slim chance of avoiding opponent's move Increased critical hit ratio (And of course, exp just for cooking and playing with them) Also, you should be a tad less antagonistic.

@@tomc.5704 that reply wasnt aimed at you, it was aimed at the original commentor But also I dont mind not being forced to grind wild pokemon. My ideal pokemon game is like ultra sun and moon, where as long as you fight every trainer you see you will essentially be on-level the entire game because they actually took xp share into consideration when designing the trainers, and battles are difficult because the npcs use actual strategies instead of only being "strong" because of level gaps. Having to grind for 2 hours because the gym leader has a level 40 pokemon but all the nearby wild pokemon and trainers are level 25-30 is just annoying. Its not rewarding to spam ember on wild pokemon until you finally hit a decent level. And camping is also another optional feature. In sword and shield I camp all the time and play with my pokemon, but since I only cook for them 2 or 3 times (and because I use rotating teams) their affection never goes up high enough for those effects to kick in. Even if I played with them for a long time it was never a particularly impactful amount of xp, at most just half a level. The only useful item or feature that isnt optional is the xp share, but even then its not inherently bad as long as they pace the game to suit it properly like usum. For me in sword and shield I rotated between two teams, fighting every trainer possible but not grinding wild pokemon or candies, and the only time I got overleveled was at the fire gym, but then the next route jumped trainers from around 25 to 30 so it fixed itself soon enough. Im not saying sword and shield is some masterpiece or anything, but I dont think its as bad as people say it is. In my opinion if you use xp candies then you have nobody to blame but yourself

I to love enchanted instruments

Agreed

So you'd rather run around in circles in the grass for about an hour just for a crumb of XP? Suit yourself lol. By the time your done grinding in the old games youd grow a white beard
