It's so interesting to me just how insufferable some will get when they see a group of likeminded people proudly enjoy an activity they simply don't understand or think is useless.
Just to judge and have offer no real substance to their arguments. Just a sad mentality.
@artchimes512@RABBI3D can you give like an actual constructive argument instead of speaking in riddles like I genuinely have no idea what you are even saying
@MetalloGato reality is what you find fun is different from what others find fun and the people who like playing pvp competitively will never effect your fun (unless you come into their discourse to argue about something you have no knowledge of)
you have your type of fun and we have ours
@MetalloGato removing attribute swapping isnt gonna make competitive players stop optimizing everything, they enjoy doing that and getting better just like in any other competitive scene. chess has been optimized for hundreds of years, do you think chess players "optimized the fun out" of it?
@Asriel_Torrien@chungiiss@RABBI3D yet they still refuse to patch tnt duping breaking bedrock and tping to the nether roof. plenty of precedent for not patching bugs either you patch all of them or you leave in the ones people like
@DetvanS@RABBI3D@regfunkid how does removing attribute swapping make the less experienced player not still get destroyed? and why should the less experienced player not lose?? have you played or interacted with any competitive game ever like wtf is this delusion
@Lenathethick@Sokilkyy@DaRealRexinald why would attribute swapping existing matter in that hypothetical ur not beating someone who has the mechanical skill to do this consistently regardless
anyway im gonna mute this thread, we both clearly have very different visions of the importance of worldbuilding in a game like this. if it aint broke dont fix it and instead making a whole new region or concept for ur difficulty hack passion project is absurd.
@pomboshonem@PandaBaris@Peko_girlboss unbound is good for a casual experience and thats great but theres a reason everyone nuzlockes ek lucid rnb null and soon platinum kaizo instead. it also just isnt a difficulty hack (difficulty hack = modification of existing pokemon game to add difficulty)
@PandaBaris@pomboshonem@Peko_girlboss also "great efforts" in question being "yeah legendary pokemon reproduce in my games lore" like thats obviously fine but lets be for real the amount of focus put into the lore of this game is negligible
@PandaBaris@pomboshonem@Peko_girlboss precedent in question is rr hc which already did the gym leaders use theming rather than typing like 5 years ago atp
.
@pomboshonem@PandaBaris@Peko_girlboss why are we trying to reinvent the wheel? what are we solving by doing what you suggest?
"oh my 400 fights difficulty hack made for the purpose of interesting challenge to the player while simultanously balancing itself around nuzlockes doesnt have good worldbuilding :("
@KiterMyonMyon@thesecretliz@zukaska why does bruno the fighting type e4 have a onix lmaoooo this game blows ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ gamefreak doesnt know shit about pokemon
@KiterMyonMyon @Furlani_Muori @zukaska this isnt something exclusive to difficulty hacks and exists in pretty much any boss fight in any game ever, AI in games will not be able to abuse a mechanic better than the player so they need something you dont to make it more difficult
