You say that like breeding is difficult. It isn't. Just a little tedious.

And if its too tedious, you can rent any team you want with a QR code in seconds.

And Bottle Caps mean you don't even need perfect IVs... unless you're playing with Hidden Power.

git gud does not apply in a game where you need to get perfect ivs and chain breed for attacks

outside of Trick Room and Hidden Power it takes like, 2 hours to get a fully ready and VIABLE FOR LIVE EVENTS team. Bottlecaps have made it very easy to jump into. The only real problems getting into competitive pokemon is there really isn't a single site that can be used for a good overall resource, you need to use a lot of different sites because they're all to suborn to just throw everything at one site (trainertower.com, smogon.com, serebii.net, ect.).

The 2019 games, meanwhile, are what they see as their way to move the handheld experience forward, and they've been working on it since before the Switch released which is why they won't be as influenced by Go.

how about NO influence?? why can't they just keep that poo poo for the Let's Go line

Good news, hidden abilitys are easy as poo poo. You just ask for one one of the billions of trading sites and normally get it pretty fast.

Don't be a fool like me and actually try to catch hidden ability Sharpedo :negative:

if you have a perfect destiny knot ditto like me, breeding competitive pokemon is brain dead simple, once you start going for egg moves or ability & nature combinations it starts to get complicated.

Surprised how many of you don't seem to really care about online battles and trading, without online features it sorta makes the whole game seem pointless to me

The Sinnoh remake is likely not coming until after the 2019 Pokemon game so she has some time left before they replace her with a doppelganger or give her the Kris treatment.

If you're smart like me, you'll legitimately breed powerful optimized pokemon and then never use them. Grinding is its own punishment, but also its own reward.
