@SmittyisNo1 @KEEMSTAR Or hear me out, because the person they picked is on the same level as Taylor Swift. Bad Bunny fans don't play just bc you never heard of him.

@KEEMSTAR You ain’t missing shit, game is as boring as expected. Btw halftime show will probably have the highest ratings cause it’s politically correct

I don’t feel like paying for YouTube TV , I don’t feel like paying for Peacock , I don’t feel like paying for NBC, I don’t feel like paying for NFL network, I don’t feel like paying for any app to watch the Super Bowl. I’m just not gonna watch.

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 I do mostly agree with your last reply, which is why i think it should be optional like it used to be. Being able to choose rather to have it or not is what i like about previous gen's key items.

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 Time investment doesn't mean its hard, i doubt you would say egg hatching or berry gathering are hard things to do, you get rewarded for doing such after a lot of time investment.

“Pokemon was always easy” So why does the games need a forced EXP Share?

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 We're branching from the og point, what you're saying is why i say xp share doesn't make the games easier&supports the og QTs point. Xp share simply just makes getting a specific Pokemon from one level to another w/ less menuing, Magikarp is the best example to why xp share exist

@DeliriousZora @Yoshiware2 They aren't relevant. Most opponents in the game, including boss battles, don't even have them. You don't even need to know they *exist* in any game "Grinding lowers your chance of losing" no duh. But you don't need to, ever, because Pokemon is already a very easy game.

@MythicMephisto @lemondeer_ That being a possibility is WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. How did you type that out&not understand why they're trying to take a stand. There shouldnt be armed militias in our streets that "don't know better." Get that "liberal" talk outta here, this is beyond manufactured culture wars.

@DeliriousZora @lemondeer_ So in your mind, they see that, and you think they should go do what the people who got shot did? All it takes is a teenager with an ego trip and an ICE agent who doesn’t know better, for things to go wrong. I’m betting that’s what liberals are hoping for. Cannon fodder.

so there was an anti ICE walkout at my school today guess who went out and started being violent and confrontational?

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 You not noticing the effects your evs do, is not the same as them not being relevant. And you don't need to grind, but grinding lowers your chances of whiting out. And Pokemon Already balances itself with grinding through reducing your xp gain, that also affects Xp share.

@DeliriousZora @Yoshiware2 Losing is a part of the game? Of course I've lost Pokemon battles before, but I never felt like I had to grind back up, I was often just ill prepared/didn't heal before going in. You don't have to grind anything in any Pokemon game. EVs are *never* relevant in a playthrough.

@nikkuhatsune @Yoshiware2 If u dont swap ur mons, then yeah, bc ur main Mon would get all the xp, that ur other mons couldve gotten. Xp share just kinda eases the constant swapping back and forth during and out of battles so all your mon gets xp. The battles would still be the same for you w/o xp share.

@DeliriousZora @Yoshiware2 If you’re someone who explores while playing the story, you will inevitably become over-leveled = easier. Sure Nessa might be “hard” if you picked Scorbunny and Yamper hasn’t evolved yet, but after that initial hurdle, there’s little challenge in the game.

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 So you never lost a single Pokemon battle, and none of your Pokemon died before from non-affiliates moves? Grinding evs is no different from grinding levels, bc you need levels to get your evs you grinded for. Which if either is wrong to do, then my original point stands.

@DeliriousZora @Yoshiware2 No they don't, because most if not all trainers don't use EVs. If you need to EV Grind or pray for crits in Pokemon game of all things, I don't think you're cut out for Pokemon. You don't need to save PP outside the Elite 4 as a Pokemon Center is always a stone's toss away.

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 EVs make a bigger deal than you think in mid game. Ofc can be ignored, but a trainer/gym fight can go from "shi if it crit i would've won" or "x pokemon would be alive if it crit" vs "this gonna KO in one shot" or it only takes 2hits instead of 3. Saves pp for low pp moves too.

@DeliriousZora @Yoshiware2 You get EVs while naturally playing, usually it's only the Elite Four and Champ that have EVs, if they happen to that game. So by the time EVs are remotely relevant you have nothing to worry about, assuming you even knew of them in the first place. (which you don't need to)

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 Again. Didn't say they don't mean anything, you're lvl still matters in terms of your health, and you can gain the Evs you trained for through leveling up. Lvls mean something, but your lvl 23 Pikachu is more likely to beat a lvl 25 Pikachu if you have way higher speATK& speDef.

@DeliriousZora @Yoshiware2 Level is still not nothing, though. You're incredibly unlikely to be stuck with some 6 0 IV sap, and assuming say 16IVs across the board you'll still do fine against whatever the game throws at you even with a level gap, even that 6 0 IV sap will do just fine.

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 Pokémon already have a failsafe for max leveling, you lose out on your Pokémon listening to you. So you're still locked in on specific level caps. If someone was using share xp the way you're saying, they literally make the game even harder as it becomes a full gamble in fights.

@DeliriousZora @Yoshiware2 Skillset becomes irrelevant if you have infinite time and can simply max out your level. You can also arrive at the right at any given time, and assuming you aren't avoiding every encounter possible, you'll already do fine, because Pokemon is still an easy game.

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 I didn't dismiss levels. Being more important doesn't mean the only thing that matters.

@DeliriousZora @Yoshiware2 Because Levels still clearly play a huge role, so you can't dismiss levels as though they are nothing at all, as extreme as my example may be.

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 How does one make a point against something that wouldn't happen in a legit battle.

@DeliriousZora @Yoshiware2 Lvl 1 252+ SpA Choice Specs Kyogre Water Spout (150 BP) vs. Lv 100 0 HP / 0 SpD Geodude in Rain: 12-16 (5.4 - 7.2%) Lvl 100 0- Atk 0 IVs Geodude Tackle vs. Lvl 1 0 HP / 4 Def Kyogre: 605-712 (4653.8 - 5476.9%)

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 That's just taking my point to an extreme, thats not remotely what xp share is doing. Anyone can overlevel themselves, just bc it takes one person less time than the other, doesnt mean either is harder or easier. They both still have to face the same opponents with same skillset.

@DeliriousZora @Yoshiware2 Your time is also a resource, by your logic all RPGs should just automatically level you up to the max the moment you are able to gain EXP off random encounters, just because it's possible to do so.

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 Also to add, EVs/IVs are more important than the level itself, not by a significant amount but enough where Exp share takes away parts of team building with the trade off of less grinding time.

@PinClock @Yoshiware2 More exp just means less time grinding, if you were to cap yourself at the level of your next gym, with no exp share, you'd have the same "difficulty" fighting that leader as someone using Exp share. The only difference they'd just be at the fight a little faster.

@ShadowFoxArche People always had issues with Sony and Microsoft needing to download Disc games. But the reason Nintendo gets it more, is bc you need internet to download, while yes PS/Xbox still need to download, you don't need internet to download games from disc.

WELL- Switch 2 actually getting the first true physical version of the game, while Xbox/PS5 only have a fraction of the game on disc🫢 Key Card haters are gonna be quiet as hell on this- because it was always about NINTENDO doing it, and not Sony or Microsoft. YEP.

@Eviltrkeyslice @Yoshiware2 Really all they have to do is let you turn it off in your key item bag like in X/Y. It's odd they decided to not keep it that way.

@DeliriousZora @Yoshiware2 Maybe they could make it act like it did when given to a Pokemon, and make it the all team one if you activate it in your bag.

@cyan_hue It used to be, I believe X/Y had it toggled in the key items menu. Which i loved when I played them one playthrough exp share, the other no exp share.

@DeliriousZora It not being optional is an odd decision
