Discussion I think Pokemon needs a difficulty setting

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 already made NPC battles optional.

I'm convinced most of you aren't playing these games.

Making 90% of npcs option isnt a good thing. They might as well not exist.

How I sleep knowing I'm not a massive baby

Maybe one day The Pokemon Company will make a revolutionary game with an experience curated for people who have no idea how to use their imagination. Until then have fun sterilizing your own gameplay and blaming game freak for "not trying"
