For me, it's the whole process of catching Pokémon in Let's Go that's tricky. It's okay if the Pokémon stays in the middle, but if they move off to the side, forget it, it just doesn't register me throwing the Pokéball to the far right or left. It was a neat idea but it just doesn't work sometimes and it makes me wonder if the place where I have my Nintendo Switch is messing things up.
It's having me dread what it must take to catch Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo...

I never focused on those. I tried shiny hunting and never had any luck. So I gave up on it. XD

Yeah, I've never tried shiny hunting, either. Seems pretty time consuming and I honestly don't really care for the different color pallets most shiny Pokémon have. But hey, to each their own, some people seem to have a lot of fun with it.

It seems way more tedious in the Switch games. Having to **** down, boot back up, slowly start back up, jump in, load, talk, encounter animation, failed, close app, reopen, rinse and repeat. It's annoying.

I did all that hunting in the RSE days. The new era I mostly spent wonder trading, or trading period, or just grinding EVs. And then just hop on Showdown anyway so all my grinding was in vain.

I used to grind Pokémon to level 100 for Stadium. Man, now that's really tedious and time-consuming...

I remember those days too. Was so easy to just sit back, relax, and grind to 100. Now it seems tedious, but there's easier ways to do so at least.

Yeah, when I learned what went into IVs and EVs, I was like "yep, thanks but no thanks." So I didn’t bother doing competitive battles after that. I just enjoy Pokémon games for the fun adventures now. Originally Posted by Chakramaster

It's not too hard if you have a 6IV Ditto. Which I believe I have 2? If you wanted one. Just give it the Destiny Knot and it's all luck based from there.5 are guaranteed to pass on though. Originally Posted by Neo Emolga

Thanks for the offer, but it's multiple things, really. From tiers, what movesets a Pokémon should have, and then the whole "don't use that, use this" debate.
I'm more of a causal that would rather just cruise with my favorite Pokémon on a fun adventure rather than fret over the metagame stuff and how Smogun feels people should battle.
