>download cool looking fan game>level caps are mandatory >can only fight gym leaders with the same team size as them, can't be changed >all trainer battles are double battles, can't be changed Other tropes you hate?
>I...I actually have a chance of losing? In a Pokemon game? AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I HATE THIScampaignshitter moment
>>58949799why do you hate those things?>oh no I cannot overlevel and steamroll the gym leader>oh no I cannot bring six pokemon while the gym leader only has twothe third is legit, but I doubt every trainer battle is a double battle
>>58949799>Route 1>Can encounter Pidgey, Rattatta, Sentret, Hoothoot, Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Tailow, Starly, and Shinx
>>5894979910+ pokemon per grass patchSwearingDude WEED lmao xD jokes
>download cool looking fan game>OH MY ARCEUS>WHAT THE DISTORTION WORLD>GO BREED YOURSELF
>>58949799>first gym leader has a full team of perfect mons for their type>meanwhile you're stuck with whatever random shitmons the game is willing to give youThe only official game this comes close to is the Sinnoh games. If you're trying to make a good team and don't want to overlevel, Roark will give you a hard time. Even then, he doesn't have a full team with perfect EVs and IVs.
GO BREED YOURSELF
>>58949799>download cool looking fan game>>level caps are mandatory>can only fight gym leaders with the same team size as them, can't be changedBoth of these are kino
>>58949803>>58949804I get wiped with a full team of six all the time. It's not hard to make tough bosses even when you have 6, especially early game.
>>58949803>implying compfags play anything but vgc/shoddy
>>58949799Unpopular opinion but gym leaders shouldn't have counters. If I bring a ground type to an electric team they shouldn't pull an ice beam out of their ass as a shitty "gotcha".
>>58949799i only play kino
>>58949867>poison type specialist>with a steel/fairy type
>>58949867Why does Roxie have a giant bong?
>>58949904It's her dildo.
>>58949803>shadow ball was in gen 1compshitter moment
>>58949838>>58949846>>GO BREED YOURSELFName exactly 5.7 games that do this.
>>58949799Never played a game with forced level caps, do you just stop gaining exp once you've hit it? If so, why do they not just automatically match the gym leader levels to your levels instead? Same result without trainer battle exp going down the drain.
>>58949799I used to hate scouring google docs to find stats, but at this point, if you're going to have pokemon in your game that serve no purpose and can't even pull their weight a little at the elite 4, then you should buff them. No, this doesn't mean Furret has to be as strong as Dragonite, but give it some unique role that warrants using it. Availability in the early game only counts for partial credit. Butterfree (post gen 2) is the ideal example of what a shitmon should be. As soon as you get it, it's pretty good, but it can seem like it stays behind due to low stats. Access to quiver dance in later gens and even just compound eyes+sleep powder in gen 3 is a nice buff.
Retards who download random romhacks then bitch about the contents of said romhack.As always, you want a custom-tooled experience made just to suit your particular tastes, best learn to make it yourself. That way you won't get any unpleasant surprises by downloading some other rando sperg's attempt at making their own version of what a pokémon game should be. But if you're going to download random bullshit, best get used to getting random bullshit.

>>58949867This but unironically
>>58950203>why do they not just automatically match the gym leader levels to your levels instead?Programming level scaling hard please understand
>>58949799>can only fight gym leaders with the same team size as themThis should be standard
>>58949799>shiny odds arent 1/8182DROPPED
>>58950203Would the gym leader also change it's tactics according to level? Because remember higher leveled Pokemon has access to better moves and new, possible very different forms
>>58950833acktually, I would argue that every gym leader in every game should have six Pokémonyou are a gym leader, supposed a trainer much better than the new trainers in your region. why are you gimping yourself?
The cold hard truth is that Pokemon games are easy for a reason, that being so that you can Karenfag your way to victory with any team.The challenge comes from using unorthodox Pokemon and strategies. You could argue that this requires the player to intentionally handicap themselves, and to an extent, that's true. However, you could argue the same of just selecting the "hard" difficulty on a menu. You have the freedom not to do that, and then you will have a much easier time with the game, much like if you use Gyarados or Nidoking or something of the sort every chance you get.Pokemon fangames often don't understand this, and while actual difficulty in the game itself seems appealing at first, there's a point where it means you can't win with suboptimal Pokemon, which goes against the spirit of Pokemon itself.
>>58950843>be the first gym leader>there to teach someone who is fairly early in their journey>show up with six Pokemon when they have just got their starter and walked one route to youDog.
>>58950818Best post in this thread >>58950854>there's a point where it means you can't win with suboptimal Pokemon,Only an issue if you’re playing with some self imposed rules like a Nuzlocke. These gams often buff nearly everything. If you know how to use the mechanics 99% of these games, official or not, are manageable with any team. I’ve taken Pokemon like Bibarel, Qwilfish, and Dewgong to HoFs in some of these hacks.
>>58950869so everybody start their adventure in Pallet town?
>>58949799>romhack has level caps>fag who made it purposely goes out of his way to make shit as hard as possible while still being technically legal>game thus has a reverse difficulty curve because once you break through the level 20 cap gym leader having a team like gyarados/milotic/lapras/starmie/azumarill, the faggot dev stops being able to cheat and battles become piss easyevery timefucking fags cant design for shit
