But Pokemon puts up so many restrictions it's not even fair. First, you have a limited amount of attacks. What the fuck. Then, there's no healing. You can break yourself buying potions, but it's just not worth it. You then have to run back and forth between a pokemon center and your grinding area every two or three fights if you're lucky. Waste of time. THEN, factor in the fact that random encounters are so worthless on XP, when you run out of trainers, you're fucked. XP Seeker has its limits as well, and if you're leveling a new pokemon from scratch, good luck.
The whole system needs a rework.
