>there are people on /vp/ RIGHT NOW that use Switch instead

I don't play pokemon to feel challenged

>>29020828
In Gen 6 it stops the stupid design choice of 200% exp yield for switching from affecting your team levels.

With that said, Set > Shift for me no matter what.

>>29020856
just turn off the fucking exp share

I'm not talking about the Exp. Share you fucking mongoloid.

>Pre Gen 6
Switch, both mons get half, 50 + 50 = 100

>Gen 6
Switch, both mons get full, 100 + 100 = 200

Holy shit I'm not even trying to circlejerk how "horrible" it is I'm just saying that they made a dumb decision and why it can be considered an argument in favor of shift mode in those games.

Explain to me what's the difference between switch and set

Pokémon is a casual franchise you idiot. If I wanted to feel challenged I wouldm't be playing the single player of Pokémon.

>>29020910
Set is just what online battles are. After a ko you aren't given the chance to switch into whatever they are sending out next

>>29020959
XY with no EXP share with set on was moderately challenging.

How about stop making the game casual for yourself you retard?

>>29020828
Game lets me cheat so I cheat. You get to save before every battle to secure your own victory too.

>>29020987
>not exclusively saving in pokemon centers

>>29020878
I feel the same at those videos

>>29020899
it didn't work so pre gen 6
It worked 50 + 100, because the KOer used to got full exp. IIRC

>>29020910

>set
The opponent sends out their next pokemon like online battles

>switch
"HEY ANON, I'M ABOUT TO SEND OUT MY SCIZOR, I GUESS I'LL LET YOU SWITCH IN A NEW POKEMON FOR FREE BUT PLEASE DON'T SEND OUT A FIRE TYPE, OKAY!"

The worst is when some Youtuber has a difficulty romhack and yet they still play through the game on switch. What the fuck even the point?

>>29020910

Set is how battles work in post game facilities and multiplayer. You aren't allowed to switch out after you have taken out one of opponents Pokemon, and you aren't told which Pokemon the opponent is bringing out either, so if the opponent brings out a Pokemon who has as advantage against your current one, you give them a free turn by switching.

>>29020828
Thanks for reminding me, I'll play on set for the first time in SM

>Play Set
>No use of revives allowed
>Only use potions if AI opponent uses them, but limit yourself to the number of potions that they have(e.g. Champion has 3 potions, you can only use 3 potions too, if random trainer on route has no potions, you can't use potions either etc).

This is the way I've played Pokemon games for years. I've ended up getting my ass kicked quite a bit(fucking Ghetsis), but it was a fun ride.

I always use switch. Set is for real battles, switch is for main story.

I want to be able to distribute exp evenly

>>29020980
Read my fucking post. If I wanted to not play casually then I wouldn't play the single player campaign of Pokémon. Besides, in my experience Set makes it very hard not to overlevel your starter in the early game, which makes the game easy on its own.

>>29021234
That's still easy to do. Just switch your lead pokemon after every battle.

>>29021265
>uses gen 6 EXP share and shift
>complains that Pokemon is too easy

I bet you also complain about HGSS's level curve.

Fucking casuals.

>>29021265
>Besides, in my experience Set makes it very hard not to overlevel your starter in the early game

You know you can change which pokemon goes in the first slot as soon as you capture another right?

>>29020936
this board is casual as fuck

Even worse. Apparently there are people that didn't even know Set was an option.

Christ /vp/ is terrible

Boss battles aren't real boss battles without Set

red/blue "lets" me have infinite master balls and rare candies
where do we draw the line lel

>>29020828

It encourages me to use more mond instead of overleveling a single one resulting in a both more fun and more challengin experience.
Only reason I'd ever consider to use set is because it makes the game faster

>>29021289
I didn't complain. Nothing in my post implied that I was complaining. Casual is not automatically a bad thing. I like how easy the games are.

>defeat the mon

>what's the point anyways, Mudkip is better

>>29022229
the point is gain experience. so you switch it, take a hit and then switch back. and then when said mon is strong enough to pull its weight you put it on the front and train it instead

no one cares if you're a lazy fucker, don't use yourself as an example

>there are people on /vp/ right now, feverishly grasping at self imposed rules to try and make a game aimed at 6 year olds challenging

>>29022284
>feverishly grasping

Oh yeah I was feverishly grasping when i took 10 seconds to turn Set on and EXP Share off.

>>29022059
Or you could, you know, switch out your lead Pokemon after a few trainer battles?

>>29022229
>Wurmple needs to take a hit to get EXP

THE HORROR

YOUR POKEMON ARE ACTUALLY *GASP* BEING HIT

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO 1-SHOT EVERY SINGLE POKEMON IN THE GAME FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!!!!!!!!
