You are right, the general consensus there has been pretty mature, at least in my thread, but not in a thread I made asking people what their thoughts on this matter is. And yes, critical hits... As I've said multiple times, I would have had no problem accepting it if it happened in a trainer fight, but grinding before the league is a different, much less bearable story.
To try to put this in a little perspective... In case you don't remember from HappyWaffles' Omega Ruby Wedlocke, when he took on Maxie's final team, he said that in his White 2 Wedlocke in 2014, he refused to count a death at Victory Road because he was really irritated after so much grinding. And you know what? I don't blame him for that at all, because he had been through two horrible massacres and nearly half that entire challenge was grinding. A post responding to that update said:
I'm trying to resist the urge to say anything about my end, because that would probably spoil what I haven't posted yet. And what's more, Marriland said that this may take away from the challenge, but not the story, which I am very excited to continue with. But after this, I am probably going to take a little break from documenting challenges to refresh before then.
And as for my coming Y, I am hoping to choose Fennekin when I do Y, not because I used Chespin and Froakie previously (the former in the NuzTour, even if that wasn't technically finished) but because I already chose the water starters in both my Platinum and Black 2.
