Why the fuck do people like this series again?

What is an HM?
:^)
Levi Evans
Pokemon games are really relaxing if you focus on catching and training up new Pokemon to see what they evolve into.
Kayden Parker
>implying you even have to pick Water
And not everyone is autistic and has to play video games in the easiest possible way
Carter Russell
Oh no, I used a feature that was intentionally placed in the game to my advantage! I bet you have to use the run button in Super Mario Bros, you fucking casual.
Levi Taylor
yeah, if you use no healing items, no exp share, and release every pokemon that faints, it's a really hardcore game!!
Jayden Peterson
>Picks the easiest route to beat the game, bitches about how easy the game is You do realize that there are many, many and you can beat the game, some being harder than others without creating any artificial difficulty right?
Charles Diaz
Yeah, pokemon does tend to lose its charm when you know the easiest winning strategy that works in every game.
William Ross
Thats why there are hardmode pokemon romhacks
Logan Lewis
>He hasn't played SM
Nicholas Reed
Good thing they got rid of HM slaving so now you can literally beat the entire game with just your starter pokemon. Great fix, right guys?
Brayden Perez
I'll pay you if you stream yourself beating SM using only your starter because that's something I'd really like to see.
Dominic Thompson
Crasher Wake was a complete bastard to beat in D/P because I picked a water starter and there were few if any electric pokemon by that point.
Landon Scott
>>Pick a water starter
Stopped reading there
Christopher Young
You can pick any starter and still have the same result but picking a water starter makes the ball get rolling faster because the first gym leader is always weak to it
Dylan King
I didn't realize flying type was weak to Water
Caleb Diaz
as if you didnt have a luxray at that point
Benjamin Butler
Grass is generally best unless you're playing gen 2. Grass is bulky and defensive generally, you can steamroll the first few gyms, and your main counters (fire and psychic for dual-types) don't generally come until later on in the game by which time your level makes types meaningless.
Benjamin Thomas
Do it faggot. Pick the water one and see how you fare against raichu.
Luke Campbell

Jayden Young

Aaron Cox
>>It's a Hau's Raichu sweeps the party episode >Had just swapped to a weaker team of pokes I wanted to level up and evolve >Accidentally trigger the battle with Hau by travelling to next island.
Carson Price
SM is one of the few Pokemon games you can't usually solo with just your starter
