Is the level curve meme real
>>56470288No
>>56470288Yes only Johturds deny it
>>56470288yeahand the awful pokemon varietyand the shitty slow gameplayand the terrible time gated gimmicks for encountersand the dogshit gym leaders and e4 who all use kantomonsand kanto still being a boring piss easy boss rushand the majority of useful tm and evolution items all being postgame
>>56470295>>56470298Go back to discord
Since you made a thread about a similar topic I'll just post hereI'm playing Scarlet for the first time and wtf is up with the pokemon levels?I'm at my third gym, the normal gym, the rival battle used like lvl 25 pokemon, the wild pokemon around are level 30 ~ 35, the gym battles are level 30 or solike what the fuck am i playing this wrong going in the wrong direction or something or is there some scaling at work here?
>>56470301Discord loves these shitty games.

>>56470303Idk maybe you’re just going in an unconventional order.
>>56470298Forgot how fucking retarded they made the game corner in hgss.
>>56470303You should have started in the snowy mountain area instead, much lower-levelled Pokemon and gyms there anon :^)
>>56470288Real as in "shit has weird levels" ? Yes indeed, this is a trainer battle you encounter around Whitney.Does it matter and really affect your playthrough? Lol no.
>>56470288>boxart thread
>>56470288Not unless you like to add random shitmons into your team past the midgame
>>56470288it's real, but it's not a bad thing
>>56470288Yes but it only makes a significant difference if you're a streamer and ignoring 80% of the extra content in the game as they often do
>>56470397>if you're a streamer that's happening to be doing a nuzlocke of an unmodified version of the game (very uncommon in the current year)This is more accurate.
>>56470288Does it matter? It's the easiest game in the 2D era.
>>56470288Nohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7yV8Cxspnc
>>56470298>kanto still being a boring piss easy boss rushThis is the only legitimate complaint.
>>56470288insofar as that it's a "meme" yes, but the level curve is not an issue. >>56470397this. it's only streamers and their audience who bitch about it.
Currently replaying Silver, when are the levels supposed to curve?
>>56470935Oh hey it's this Johto nigger again.
>>56470533Lmfao what is that voice
>>56470397>>56470935these two are like best cordie buddies
>>56470303Larry is supposed to be the fifth gym, but that rival fight occurs at the third gym. It might be a good idea to go and deal with the early game bosses to the east of Mesagoza before you keep progressing the way you've been going.
>muh pokemon game is too hardYou are bad and stupid if you think this.
>>56471014Unovasisters...
MINDBROKEN
Yup
>>56470288Yes but only because johto is more of a simulation game than a traditional jrpg/pokémon game. Johto's design encourages you to play a little every day hence why you have a fuckton of time-gated mechanics
>>56471014Johto is the easiest game, the E4 is around lv 40.
>>56470397>dude ur playing the game wrongIt's a bad game if this is your defense.
>>56471104>dude ur playing the game wrongHe didn't say this.
>>56471104Johto was designed more as a sim game to be played a little while daily you are timegated and csn't reslly rush through it, that does make it a really bad and boring game to stream
>>56471146>that does make it a really bad and boring game to streamWhich applies to 80-90% of JRPGs btw.
>>56471146>>56471098is this the new forced thing I'm gonna be reading twenty times a day
>>56471146and a bad and boring pokemon game to play
>>56471171Entirely on you if you're going to waste your day on here looking for threads to argue about a game that you're not fond of.
>>56470342This
>>56471151I don't know why anyone would watch someone play a game so they are all boring to me.>>56471171It's not a "forced thing" it's reality, gen 2's gimmick was time (day/night cycle) so they shoehorned a fuckton of shit and timegated it (bug catching contests, random calls, daily events like the lotto, etc). Even the fucking rematches in HGSS are timelocked to a certain day of the week. Personally I dislike this design so I'm not even defending Johto.
>>56470288Kinda. HGSS is a bit more linear than GSC. There’s really no reason for the trainers after Mahogany’s candy bar guy leaves to remain with such low levels now that HGSS totally gated it after the Radio Tower event.
what's up with all the johto attention lately
>>56470323>remedied in the remakesNot at all. It straight up removes Crystal’s early game improvements and adds a band aid with the retarded and obtuse safari zone.>subjectiveHow are things something objectively measurable like the framerate, animation length, and walking speed “subjective”? Retard.>yep, just ignore everything else they added to itCool they fleshed out Viridian Forest. It’s still a fucking boring rush from gym to gym while all of the wildlife encounters are way too low leveled.>wrong like everything else that comes from your grimy keyboardCry harder faggot
>>56472927Swooshieshlls used Johto as a scapegoat to deflect from SwSh’s glaring flaws, and because Johto hasn’t had a game in 15 years the majority of the Pokémon fanbase has no experience with it, to they just take all the lies at face value leading to misconceptions and exaggerations to fester. Thats what Johto alone is singled out for it level curve despite most games being poorly balanced and Paldea’s curve being a complete shitshow.
>>56472927It's some retard that got banned from the /vp/ discordhttps://arch.b4k.co/vp/thread/56446241/#56446241
>>56472927Zoomies watch a video on youtube and think they're smart
