i played less than halfway through pokemon white because the grinding was fucking retarded compared to previous games. the pokemon don't have their first evolution until like level 50 and getting experience is harder than ever.

lol what
i would beg to argue that gaining experience is much easier as long as you have the lucky egg

maybe i'm retarded but it seemed like pokemon changed the experience system so that you get less exp as your level goes up

e.g. a level 20 enemy gives you 100 exp when you're at level 15, but gives 2 exp when you're at level 25

i know in sapphire and pearl that leveling up took less than half the time that white took

[ncba93ivyase]

Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

I don't recall it ever working like that before. I remember a level 5 Pidgey giving like 5 EXP no matter what your level was.

Black and White took more grinding than SMT, Dragon Quest, and Final Fantasy combined, so I gave up.

[ncba93ivyase]

No I'm not say that that's how it's always worked, I'm just saying; isn't that how leveling works? Should you get less xp the higher your level is than theirs?

Depends on how it works.

If it's a game where it always takes 100 exp to reach the next level, then if it takes 100 exp to reach level 10, 200 to reach level 11, 300 to reach level 13, etc, then no, because you have to beat an exponentially large number of enemies just to make the slightest bit of progress.

SMT balances this by giving you constant access to new enemies and the ability to fuse demons at any time, while Black and White introduced maybe 4 new Pokemon per area that wouldn't evolve until they reached level 50.

then

lmao

[bluaki]

Yes, black and white did indeed make experience gain now depend on the level of the Pokemon gaining the experience, but unless you're grinding on enemies over like 15 levels below yours, the new exp equation actually gives you more experience than it did in previous games

Because I play through the story in Pokemon games with only using 2-3 battlers actively, I never have a problem with needing to grind until the post-story stuff; just facing the trainers I pass by, never intentionally killing wilds, is more than enough experience to complete the story with in any Pokemon game.

out of every game i've ever played, i've only completely beat like 3

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

I'm in the same boat as hime. I don't really complete games. I just play them til I get bored
