Y'all faggots complain about no difficulty settings but

>>29982104
I know right? Just like EXP SHARE they said it make leveling so Easy? Why not turning that shit thing off?

>>29982104
people don't do this?

changing to set is like the text speed settings for me, it's the first thing I do in the game

Switch to SET
Turn off EXP SHARE
Don't use legendaries
Don't overlevel one Pokemon
Don't grind
Raise a team of 6+

>>29982163
This.

I feel like you're forgetting one more step though.

This is the first thing I do in every game.

Didn't stop me from being overleveled as fuck in XY though.

All Set does is encourage the use of setup sweepers which make the game just as easy as Switch.

>>29982163
>don't use legendaries

then why catch them?

>>29982104
>Y'all faggots complain about no difficulty settings but y'all faggots still use all them full restores
>Y'all faggots complain about no difficulty settings but y'all faggots don't use nuzlocke rules
>Y'all faggots complain about no difficulty settings but y'all faggots carefully choose your own pokemons
>Y'all faggots complain about no difficulty settings but y'all faggots still play with your eyes open

>>29982163

Release any Pokémon once it's higher than level 25.

>>29982225
Because you're supposed to catch 'em all. If you use them, why complain that the game is too easy? They are very strong in-game for the most part.

>>29982163

Gonna try this in Sun tomorrow, usually i lose my patience and switch it to Shift but THIS TIME im gonna have a spine.

>>29982225
Its called catch em all, not use em all. Retard

>>29982202
I'm not that anon, but I'm curious as to what the other step would be.

>>29982872
Fapping to R34 of each pokemon you encounter

>>29982163
and do a nuzlocke

>>29982819
what the FUCK is this ugly Tumblr artstyle holy shit

Is this supposed to be funny?

Why is Switch even the default setting? It makes no sense at all.

>>29982104
Literally the first thing I change when I start a game, along with the text speed.

>>29983706
It's basically the "easy" mode, and the games are primarily made for children that will drop it in a month.

>>29983706
So you can maintain your advantage.

What does switch do?

>>29983986
This. Nuzlocking is fucking easy with switch on.

>>29984586
the game tells you what pokemon the NPC is about to send out

>>29984629
And allows you a free switch after each knock out.

>>29983706
THIS GAME IS MADE PRIMARILY FOR YOUNG CHILDREN

>>29982104
First thing I do in the game is set text speed to fast, battle style to set. And I turned Exp Share off and was fine most the game until I was under leveled for the E4 and post game.

>not turning battle anims off

It's like you want to waste your time.

>>29982163
all of this but I also add
>No heal items in-battle
>Use only as many pokemon a Gym Leader / Rival has
Say a gym leader has 3 pokemon, and I've got 5 on my team, I only use 3 of them and the moment that 3rd one faints I reload. Battles for the story against like an evil team member or something, I would obviously not go with this restriction and use my whole team.

>>29985822
usually play on the nuzlocke rules so limiting your pokemon to what the gym leader has tends to be suicidal
do follow the other rules mentioned, even if seeing the enemy trump pokemon get hyper potioned while you can't is frustrating

>>29985649
I'm fucking crying

>>29982104
Should I do 20 one handed pushups in between turns too? Or how about gamefreak just makes some actual difficulty options? Forced set mode could be a part of that, but enforce it and acknowledge it.

>>29985649
That's not any funnier.

>>29985708
Why even play the fucking game at that point?

>>29986022
oh yeah those are my immersion/comfy playthrough rules. If I'm doing a nuzlocke it's already challenging enough and i'm not concerned with immersion at all so I wouldn't even add anything else to make my torture worse than it already is.

>>29985708
I like the attack animations though. They look cool and are worth my time to see.

>>29986067
Many other games let you change the difficulty at will too, just because it's not labelled as "hard" and "easy" doesn't mean that's not what it is.

>>29986073
It's funnier than the original

Not allowed to breathe for the entirety of the game, every time you do you must release one of your pokemon or do 15 press ups

>>29986408
i want to hang myself

Is there anything worse than nuzelockes? Holy shit the people who talk about them for a "challenge" are insufferable.

>>29982819
they look like white washed niggers

>>29986449
It's a fun meta game, but certainly not a huge challenge. It more extends the time you spend playing since you have to grind more we're giving the game a bit more replayability

>>29986095
>>29986142
they get boring real quick

>pokemon will never come with hard and easy difficulties you can choose when starting the game
>easy has easier battles and tutorials on
>hard has harder battles that reward strategy and ingame tutorials off
>hard exclusive events for players who manage to get that far

mmhm

>>29982202
Play by the same rules as the AI and only use two items per trainer battle.

>>29986214
If you are 13 or less

>>29982225
To assert domination over them

>>29982104
>Y'all faggots
Why do people talk like this and un ironically say "nigga"? The only thing I think of is that they come from Facebook, Twitter, tumblr etc or they're just niggers. Am I right?

>>29986502
By having a long straight nose?

>>29986294
You say that as if 15 press ups is a challenge

Set just makes training newly caught pokemon annoying.

>>29985649
>LOL.png
yeah whatever

>>29987855
Welcome to 4chan

You're a faggott

>>29985708
Why waste time capturing and training pokemon when you can get a full perfect team of whatever you want in Showdown?

>>29988029
What if someone enjoys capturing and training pokemon but doesn't like to waste time on battle animations?

You can play by Set rules with Switch, it doesn't make any difference. That way if I feel the game is bullshitting me I can always bullshit back with switching.

>playing switch

This will be my first game using Set. I wanna see how much harder it is, given that it's normally very easy for the most part.

>>29982225
If I could avoid doing that, I would. They are plot elements for me, not something I would normally use.

>>29986060
It's not that sad, really. Don't be a baby.

>>29987890
for fattasses, yes

>>29985822
We play the exact same way.

>>29988991
Red's can attack on poor Blue is the tragedy of the millennium. He was just trying to warn his emo friend about Sam the witch, but ended up getting hit because of it.

>>29982163

I've been playing like this for years, I don't think I've ever used Exp share apart from maybe in Gold in the year 2001.

It doesn't really help with making the games more difficult, they're still easy. I figured everyone who complains about difficulty would have already done all this because they actively want to make the game harder.
