Sorry for bumping, but I am fuming at Wattson. Double Team, Moomoo Milk spamming, then Rest spamming on Jolteon. All that made me wipe out the PP for both Body Slam and Mud Shot on my Marshtomp. That's absolutely cruel. Liquid Crystal had that annoying healing item spam from every single trainer, and this hack is not far removed from that. Okay, the evasion stuff is horrible, but that does involve strategy to an extent. Healing item spamming does not, it's a total PP waster and makes battles tedious, and pokemon games should never be tedious. I can see now why there's a Berry seller right next to Wattson's gym, Leppa berry is necessary. Not to mention Shock Wave, which can't miss, and by this point. What unmissable moves the player gets by then? Aerial Ace? No, plus it wouldn't be so effective. Hmm, Swift? Better, but I don't think there's no Aipom before Wattson, who is the only mon that has it as STAB. Others are either not available or learn Swift at too high a level.
I am thankful because I was tired heading into this, but now this energized me with rage and is keeping me from sleeping.
By the way, I try not to use items during battles, self-imposed handicap for every Pokemon game I play. So the abundance of healing item spamming on the NPC side always angers me.
