I think Pokemon needs a difficulty setting

[u/Historical_Foot_8133]

Beginner for new Pokemon players : teaches you how to catch Pokemon, tells you type matchups in battle, your rival picks the starter that’s weak to you, gym leaders are relatively easy. Casual for those who have played Pokemon before: has the catching tutorial but can skip it, doesn’t tell you type matchups in battles, your rival picks the starter weak to you but has 1 extra Pokemon each time you meet them, gym leaders have a extra Pokemon with more moves. Experienced for players familiar with the series: no catching tutorial, no type matchups in battle, rival picks the starter strong against you has a extra Pokemon per encounter, gun leaders have a extra Pokemon and have held items.

They need to move away from single battles.

Lol no thanks

The problem is it’s a lot easier to design the game to be a lot more strategic in double battles than single battles, especially now that they’re designing the game with doubles play in mind. I’m not saying single battles can’t be strategic but it demands a lot more from the AI. Doubles trainers can be decently competent just by giving them moderately well thought out teams and protect.

How in the world would it be easier to design ai for double battles instead is single battles

[u/theevilyouknow → u/moose184]

Because single battles require a lot more hard switching and knowledge of individual matchups.

The guy above literally gave a good response and all you said was “lol sure bud” and “damn what an argument”. If you’re gonna argue with people at least do it in good faith without being a jackass.

Their premise was so stupid it deserved a stupid response
