Basically all of the political schadenfreude being sold as “uplifting” here is coming from you, so of course you’re going to defend it. This place is only your personal blog because the mods are asleep at the wheel or just indifferent.

In that gen at least you kind of have to grind out some XP before each gym or you get schwacked. Whether that makes it a better or worse game is subjective. In the Alpha/Omega remakes this isn’t much of a problem. But when I tried playing through those I stopped because it was trivially easy for that reason and others. Again, subjective.

Read an anecdote of someone in a similar station who had a client file a complaint against them because their watch was too nice. See, he’s the employee who is servicing the client. He’s beneath the client. He can’t be wearing nicer stuff than the client.

I don’t know how these people look at themselves in the mirror every morning.

It’s somewhat like Dark Souls in that there’s appeal in mastering the enemies you fight in predicting their moves and timing your own. Finding a weapon that jives with you, buildcrafting, etc. It is a circular gameplay loop in that you kill monster, cut them up, use pieces to make gear, use gear to hunt better monsters…but that’s not a bad thing I think.

It can be a more challenging game than it might seem on its face, especially Freedom Unite, and especially with the limited control schemes of the older portable consoles. I started with 4U and find I struggle going back to it after playing World and Rise.
