Pokémon

Yeah if your Pokemon is higher level than the opponents you get less exp.

ew
I don't like that

That's kind of stupid. The higher level a Pokemon is the most EXP it needs to gain levels anyways, so that's the motivation for trying to defeat stuff that's stronger than you.

HOLY SHIT DOUBLE BATTLES WITH WILD POKEMON.

Also having these dual rivals that basically show up all the time is neato. Too bad I don't understand anything they say.

Speaking of multi battles

how are triple battles?

Haven't had any yet. Zomg stunning development, Team Ratatta has stolen the dragonite skull; I have discovered all the low level pokemon you see early on evolve into super ugly things, except maybe masterball cat, and the new item finder is pretty awesome looking.

Also fire pig starter doesn't evolve at level 16, whats up with that?

Did you nickname your firepig?

No I did not and it just evolved into something even uglier than it was. IN OTHER NEWS

WTF THIS IS THE BEST BRIDGE EVER, FOLLOWED BY WTF THIS IS THE BEST POKEMON CITY EVER. FUCK YEAH 5TH GEN.

I dunno, it's going to have to be pretty awesome to beat Nugget Bridge.

Yeah and silence bridge too

I wonder how scaling works when using an exp share.

SCALING EXP IS ACTUALLY QUITE NICE. It heavily encourages large balanced parties and it's actually quite fun to be slightly underleveled all the time. It encourages switching your party around and using new pokemon. IN OTHER NEWS TEAM RATTATA IS LIKE REALLY REALLY BAD. One has to wonder about a team that only has access to like 3 shitty pokemon.

Scaling EXP sounds like a good idea to me. Though I do kinda wonder what the progression from level 60 to 100 is going to be like now...

It just makes grinding harder
I don't see the fun in that...

Only if you're grinding in order to overlevel.

If you're grinding to catch up on level, it's quicker.

What about after you beat the e4 and you just wanna get a level 100 pokemon?

edit: also why would it be easier?
It's not like you get double exp for using a weaker pokemon do you?

Also Europe gets BW 2 days before US
I'm angry

I kinda thought that was the idea... a lv10 beating a lv15 might get say 120% experience, while a lv20 beating a lv15 might get say 80% experience (using arbitrary numbers). So it's not just penalising you for fighting weaker pokémon, it's rewarding you for fighting stronger pokémon. That's my understanding from what aperson's said anyway.

Although yeah, as I mentioned a couple of posts back, the level 60-100 grind sounds like it might be terrible with scaling experience.

In every other game, the best team up until the elite 4 consisted of your starter and 5 HM slaves. By using only 1 pokemon, he'd be so ridiculously over leveled that everything was a cakewalk.

I don't really see why you'd need a level 100 pokemon though.

STUNNING DEVELOPMENT. YOUR MYSTERIOUS RIVAL TURNS OUT TO BE GAY AND A MEMBER OF TEAM RATTATA. THAT BEING SAID FERRIS WHEELS ARE AWESOME.

IT'S MEWTWOS BIRTHDAY TOMORROW GUYS
