i don't remember much grinding much in pearl. though i do remember being under leveled for a lot of gyms. still managed to win though.
i was extremely underlevelled throughout diamond, and when I met the elite four i hit a wall. i had to grind a lot just to even stand a chance, and even then i had to use a damned lvl 100 event arceus to beat it.
leveling your team evenly isn't a pain! you just order them by level in ascending order, then order them by who has the least amount of XP left to level up
that way you're pretty much always getting level ups and using different pokes and it's awesome

see, i tried doing this. i got murdered. often.
so, fuck it. i'm never playing a new pokemon game again, but if i can get a copy of silver without a burnt out battery (i...played that game often) i'll just go ahead and make another lvl 100 Feraligatr.
black and white were actually incredible for leveling up a team at the same rate because they give you an experience share pretty early and also there is a thing now where lower leveled dudes get a higher share of the experience than higher leveled ones

I am immediately disappointed they didn't pick a different group of generic antagonists and do a 2/too thing
also i am interested in hear your suggestions for generic horde foes they could have used? zombies have been over done, goblins are basically orcs. kobolds, ogres, and such like are already in the game.
in my view pokemon hasn't really stagnated because I don't really look at it as a single-player video game
I think of it more like a TCG with sequels acting kind of like set expansions
in that light the games actually make pretty significant advances every generation, the metagame gets thrown around pretty good with every release
if anything the problem with that is that the single player gets in the way
and I don't even mean in terms of the campaign, which is inoffensive enough
it's just all the grindy bullshit makes it way more frustrating to put a team together than it should be
on paper something like Pokemon Online seems like a perfect solution, but it's filled with obnoxious players and also something about it seems cold and impersonal
like, as much as I hate spending two hours breeding and EV training a pokemon, investing all that time into it does something to make it feel like more than just a sprite with some associated numbers
Speed, just so you know.
You're one of the people who I'd want to interview.
Because even if I don't necessarily agree with your stance on Pokemon, I think you do a really good job explaining your opinions.
Stilts if I don't get interviewed I swear to goodness

could do "monsters" and have draculas, mummies, wolfmen, etc.

You have to fight a horde of orc ghosts.
The ghosts of all the orcs you killed in the first game.

robots
ninjas
aliens
bears
elves
etc.
Underworld, lovecraftian monsters seems like a good idea.

man, all ninjas must die would be horrible. The round starts and then your neck explodes open, you loose.
besides this actually takes place after the first one, which is weird they didn't really leave it open for a sequel, but here we are.

Oh, you have Pokemon opinions too?
I'll put you on the list with Speed and Dich.
Also I really need to try and get one or two interviewees I know who aren't PA members.

Alright, so the warmage now an old man tortured by the sins of the past or is he still insane in love with traps and shit and this is just a fun saturday for him?

but to be fair they've been on a downward slope from gen 3 onward
best rival is still Blue/Gary

it's not so much it demands you to grind as it is there are really really long stretches of areas with wild pokemon
so many fucking caves
http://www.audioentropy.com/
far as I'm concerned, the best rival is ???
they're easy to find if you look a little bit
although I think we disagreed on what grinding exactly means last time we discussed this
that's probably the thing here
you can handle her with lower level stuff and lots of healing items, but if you want to go toe to toe with her you'll need to do a major grind
by the time i even got to her, i had very little money. i couldn't buy many healing items at all.
http://www.audioentropy.com/
that would be a problem
gen 4 definitely had a difficulty thing going on at the end
you fight and lose frequently against the elite four, using your earned money to buy healing items after each attempt so you won't lose it
their pokemon are high level and trainer battles give double XP so you'll overcome them soon enough
plus you learn how each of them operates and exactly how to fight them, what works and what doesn't
they're supposed to be a challenge
fuck leveling your team evenly, just use your starter all the time
younger me was right
Leveling your team evenly is the best
it is a pain to do, but it feels so good
unless your starter has a 4x weakness, then you fucked.
when you're level 100, you laugh in the face of everything in the main game
but you know it's not like i play multiplayer because i always lose
that way you're pretty much always getting level ups and using different pokes and it's awesome
yes
I was like "is Pokemon still a thing? Really?"
People did the facebook chat equivalent of slowly turning to stare at me
I honestly did not know Pokemon was still a big deal
see, i tried doing this. i got murdered. often.
so, fuck it. i'm never playing a new pokemon game again, but if i can get a copy of silver without a burnt out battery (i...played that game often) i'll just go ahead and make another lvl 100 Feraligatr.
pokemon sucks because you are kind of terrible at it and don't have good wifi
I'm sorry
ladies and gents, if you've submitted articles to me and haven't heard back, please resubmit them to submissions@mediumdifficulty
if you sent it to my personal one it didn't get tagged/forwarded to all the editorial staff
hrm. okay.

Past the date of its relevance

I would buy an "All Draculas Must Die" however.
fuck draculas.
the game has an always-on clock because it keeps track of the date and time
those batteries were only made to last about seven years, overuse or no
pretty sure i did because my bro's copy of gold still works fine
