So does everybody just play this by only having 1-3 actual combat mons? As a kid I always had a party of 6 and as it turns out, not being overlevelled as shit makes theg ame way harder
Yes.In Pokémon the only difficult is self-imposed.
>>720755046That's how you play almost every Pokemon game. 1-3 actually useful combat pokemon and the rest are just HM slaves

Bin your starter in platinum if you want to have sex
>>720755406>>720755268Okay so I have to use 6 mons if I actually want to beat the game?
>>720755046t. zoomerYeah, my team was feraligatr, crobat, ampharos, and some HM slaves I can't remember
pokemon is like dark souls, you need to intentionally gimp yourself to make it fun I use a rotating party of shitmon or a monotype team. also level caps and maybe permadeath. set mode and no battle items should go without saying
>>720755682I'm 35yo I just skipped gen 2 for some reason. Played 1 back in the day, then 3 years later on emulator

>>720755605Depends what you mean by "use". Yeah, you probably should have all 6 slots full just for convenience but you don't have to actually battle with all 6
>>720755825I mean what every kid did in gen 1: Put 6 pokemon that cover all type weaknesses, then level them up equally
>>720755893No, you don't have to do that. Many mons have two types on them so you should cover most if not all weaknesses with less then 6. Leveling all of them up equally would be just unnecessarily tedious if you want to just beat the story
>>720756139>overlevelled starter and HM slavesYou didn't beat the game.
>>720756186anon, if you have problems with reading comprehension I'd recommend you to go back to kindergarten. Pokemon games might be way to difficult for you for now
>>720756440Only this guy ITT beat any Pokemon game >>720755709
I've always been autistic about keeping the party levels identical.
>>720758307How autistic? For me it's usually making sure to do it within one area (i.e. making sure to keep switching in the underlevelled monsters I can't use for the current area cause of type) but I don't go grind wild pokemon between fights to keep them equal
Best option is 4 combat and 2 hm slaves, hell even one of the slaves could be viable in a pinch

>>720755046>not being overlevelled as shit makes theg ame way harderonly if you're a little bitch.
>>720755046What is the in-universe reason why gyms specialize in one type? It gives them such a huge disadvantage to get sweeped.Is there a way to make mono-type teams more viable or meaningful? Or could gym leaders be themed a different way?
>>720759357>What is the in-universe reason why gyms specialize in one type?Autism
>>720755475At least we're talking games and not pronz, go back to /s/
>>720759357I haven't played all the gens, is it canon that the MC each gen and his rival (or friend, because nuPokemon isn't allowed to have rivals) manage to sweep all the gyms and E4 because they use multiple types when literally all other trainers in the world have themed teams?
>>720755682Aren't amp and cro like the top dogs in GS?
>>720755893In gen one I got my starter to level 100 before I caught mewtwo. Other mons are for role players that want to play the game and not destroy everything in their path
>>720755046>So does everybody just play thisI'm an adult man, I stopped playing pokemon games 25 years ago
>>720759357>What is the in-universe reason why gyms specialize in one type?It's not even a huge disadvantage as long as the leader has a team that is composed properly and has movesets that cover the weakness.
>>720759763Well, in gen 1 I got every pokemon to level 100 tooJust not by levelling
>>720755046Why don't Pokemon games just have level scaling?
>>720755046I learned quickly running only Cyndaquil was a huge advantage for most of the game
>>720759957Name a single RPG with level scaling that doesn't suck ass.
>>720760172>he didn't pick the kino crocodilefag
>>720760232>He likes butch scalesFuck off furfag scalie
>>720760408I have no idea what a butch scale is
>>720760198MorrowindIt's good in spite of the level scaling and not because of it and it's barely noticable, but you worded your question wrong so I winBTFO
>>720760546>morrowind>"doesn't suck ass"lol. lmao. holy shit, WRPGshitters are actually fucking braindead.
