Man I took actual lessons on game design
Even got a diploma for it
And yea no dudes full of shit
Reading a fcking text document that comes with the game is not bad design lmao
There would be a point made about bad game design if
Like say these passwords were to like give free legendaries or some game breaking thing like walk thru walls
Actual game breaking content
Literally the ONLY thing thats a good qol that may be needed is hardlvlcap which an npc explains before the first gym and u get a data chip very early on, if u don't want to waste it, u can even just restart your game
Go touch some grass my brother
