So, it's been a while, huh?

Just wanted to mention something that I think would at least stop people being annoying. 

I know that people keep complaining about difficulty and it can be annoying that they can't just accept a challenge and work towards a goal and whatnot, but I just get so damn annoyed that people can't just look past one small annoyance and look at what they like about something. And if I get this annoyed at it, I can only imagine how tiring it must be for the person pouring their heart, soul, time, and money into it.

So, here's my suggestion. Make some sort of "easy mode", even if it just halves the enemy Pokémon's IVs and or EVs or something. And then make it completely roast them if they try to choose it. For example:

Are you sure you want to choose easy mode? >Y< N

Are you really sure? >Y< N

You know, it's recommended to play on normal mode. You sure you don't want to go back? >Y< N

Come on, it's not that hard. It's named Normal mode, not Impossible mode. >Y< N

Idite put a lot of work into making this game balanced. Are you sure you want to put that to waste? >Y< N

Plenty of people, even those who suck at Pokémon, managed to do it. Are you saying you are more of a noob than them? >Y< N

Wow, I didn't actually think you would roast yourself so openly like that. You must really want this, huh? >Y< N

Let me guess: You're just here for the H-scenes, and you don't want to have to put in any effort? >Y< N

Fine. I'll ask you one last time, but I really don't recommend anything other than normal. Do you want to play in Normal mode? >Y< N

And if they choose N on any of them, or Y on that last one, it just takes them back to before the thing, meaning that if they don't read it and just try to skip it by clicking confirm repeatedly, they have to go through again and actually read it this time.

Also, just wanted to mention something: I didn't mean that there should be Anomalies for every single Pokémon. That would be an insane amount of work, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I meant that it should just be for the Pokémon you want to make them for, like a few of your favourites. 

Keep up the good work, and don't let the aholes get to you :)


Quick note to anyone struggling with a boss:

Try a little harder. If I can do it with no Pokémon skill, no knowledge of EVs or IVs (I don't even know the difference), never once buying anything from a store, and a team of the first six Pokémon I found, so can you. All it takes is a little Determination. (There, the obligatory Undertale reference. Almost thought I wouldn't fit it in here somewhere for a second.)
