I've been playing the game since... I'unno, 2014? Maybe 2015.
It was a lot of fun back then, being able to play Pokémon in my own way and occasionally battle other trainers on my way to get the gym badges.
Once Hoenn was added, I was able to box my Pokémon and train an entirely new team, experimenting with different builds and holding onto those too after getting all of the badges.
I spent a long time playing the game in the way I wanted to play it, forming my own team in the ways I myself would play either one of the generations.
While doing this I was able to interact with the community, trade Pokémon with other people or on the GTL like it were a modern game, and recieve scam mail from Nigerian Princes. I'm not even kidding, that actually happened.
But over the years I've been doing this, there have been changes that have been turning me away from the game.
A lot of people take the game more seriously, so naturally things started to gear towards a more competitive angle. Breeding was modified, EXP limits were introduced, etc etc.
It's not only me that's been drawn away - I've been watching arguments over the EXP limits in the chat just now, and friends of mine won't play the game anymore as they just want to play casual Pokémon in 3 generations but are forced to all of these weird changes that make it harder to play.
This may be a big ask, but I feel its semi-warranted after the large amounts of competitive features that have been added over the years.
- Casual characters
- Can't compete in tournaments or trade with default characters
- Can play the games with same features of the originals, breeding included(?)
- Not held back by EXP caps
I assume something like this is possible - a special box you'd check in character creation to label your character as a 'casual mode' character. They can't interact with the other type as much, but can still trade with other casual players.
tl;dr: characters that cant interact in competitions or trade with default playstyle characters, but can play fire red just like fire red etc
