-having to backtrack to a Pokemon Center after every match if you hope to train anything to a usable level. I mean, you could buy potions to allevia-oh wait. You get no money in the beginning of the game.
Well, I guess I can just grind a bit to make travel a bit easi-oh... You mean my Pokemon stop listening to me if I level them up too much. I suppose that's fair.
At least the battles aren't super obnoxiou-oh wait... Nearly every enemy trainer in the game spams Sand Attack/Double Team/Leech Seed + Paralyze/5-hit chain attacks. Oh... :[ And I SWEAR that anything with a flinching move in this game is holding a King's Rock and has Serene Grace. Hahaha
I'm not saying that the game is too hard, I'm merely suggesting that tedium is not difficulty. It REALLY isn't. Please.
I love the dark, gritty story and such, but this is just getting to the point where it's more annoying than anything. :/
