Why is it not there for me to just play the way I want to, so I can have more fun? To force someone to play a certain way because you want to force it to be harder is ridiculous. Also to say that people would just get pokemon from the GTL is also bad logic because of how much it would cost. to get a full team of strong pokemon. It should be an option not mandatory. This is supposed to be a fun time not a pain in the ass.
