@The7thEmSeven@Squerk_@PokeBronYT oh yeah that's fair but base swsh also just has a reasonable level curve considering all u do before you get the the first gym (which was kinda the point of the comparison)
@JIceAndDie yeah honestly great change - old hacks like ek where there's like 20 trainers every split that are severely underpowered is super boring/annoying
just have less fights or make every fight interesting
@CCraigley@BubbaTea18@Goose0777 talking about modified versions of the game with much harder fights 30 hrs to flanary is still a bit of an exaggeration tho
@allenvonghornet@temp6t nuzlockes (especially challenge hacks) are pretty clearly attempting to be different than normal pokemon formula - having levels being achievement based just makes that experience smoother
standard rpg leveling in what is effectively a rougelike is just ass for the player
