ALL THE NPCs IN THIS GAME LOVE TO SPAM PARALYZE, CURSE, AND, CONFUSE

I'm pretty sure that the NPC's did that in the originals, too. I've heard that gen 2 was very stall-heavy.

All the NPC's in Emerald love to spam Protect

>>28246914
I never knew how much Johto spammed status moves until I used an Insominia Noctowl and escaped sleep like every 5 battles

I noticed emerald seemed to spam protect and paralyze fucking CONSTANTLY
had to always stock up on paralyze heals

Remove curse and that describes real life.

>>28246914
gen 4 fucking sucks. The dex sucks, the battle pacing sucks, the npcs suck, overall the worst gen, if you like gen 4 in any way shape or form, please go and get a vasectomy.

>switch out
>get hit by confuse ray

NPCs spam confuse ray regardless of whether you're already confused or not

Serious question - what's wrong with the level curve? I haven't played HGSS since release, but I was too young then to notice something like that.

For me it's too damn easy, at least in the originals, i mean, al Kanto gyms had 40 - 50 lvl (except for Blue), and you can say Kanto is a postgame area.

>>28248589
Oh, Kanto Leaders are at least level 55 in HGSS
