i noticed a shift in public perception of generation 2 when challenge videos on youtube started becoming the norm over reviews. those videos use these games as a vehicle for content, so anything that becomes an inconvenience to their optimized play style is seen as a design flaw
Misty was kinda rough but I managed to beat her without any major deaths. Just had to sack a low level pokemon once to get confusion off tokai. But it was close. Things could have gone bad really quickly
@Strwberrychrori I genuinely can't comprehend monoshippers. Id get it more if they were into ships with a real chance of becoming canon. But Genshin impact? Lmao!
@ManiaSkeeter You're lying then because I immediately brought up the solution if you DO wanna use a physical DS. I wouldn't give multiple different methods to avoid grinding if I was being disingenuous and you know that
@Wamponer@sparite But that's just not the case? If you catch smth like a tentacool before Jasmine or a nidoran before whitney their blizzards even underleveled do fine late game. And after the shiny gyra you get the exp share. So any ice type you want after Jasmine or pryce would be fine for lance
@Wamponer@sparite HGSS clearly wanted to have more interactivity than just the battles. So the mini games I think are a welcomed addition. Also basically every water type, most normal types and even other odd balls like the nidos learn blizzard. Ice coverage in johto is common
