Did you play X/Y with EXP. Share on or off? I turned it off. I'd rather level up my Pokemon the old-fashioned way. It got kind of annoying when they leveled up after almost every battle.

Kept it on out of laziness. Game was very easy.
Off because I'm not 4 years old and don't need my piss easy game to be even more piss easy, it's embarrassing
>the game is harder with it off
A 4 year old is smarter than you.
It's harder with it on then?
No. Stop being a moron.
I turned it off after I realized how it worked.
Classic exp handling: A defeated Pokemon gives off an amount of exp. If exp share/all is active, half of the total is taken and distributed between one or more Pokemon holding exp share, or to everyone for exp all. The remaining half is split among battlers. Then the amount each Pokemon gets might be boosted by being a traded poke, lucky egg, etc. The more Pokemon you divide it between, the smaller a slice of the pie each ones get.
New gen 6+ way: All battlers get 100% of the total that would have previously been divided up. Additionally, if exp share is on, everyone who didn't battle gets 50%, without reducing the amount that battlers got. Instead of dividing up a pie, everybody gets a separate pie.
I can't make it divide up 100% instead of giving everybody 100%, and I do need to switch sometimes. But I can turn off the additional 50% going to everybody who didn't battle. And I could exploit this exp duplication thing by switching everybody in for a moment to get effectively 6x the experience out of every battle, but don't do this.

Pokemon has become socialist
I remember when I first played X, I had no idea how broken the exp share was now. I was just pissed I couldn't isolate the training to a single new mon and left it off all gake, I really had no idea. The game was still easy though because free Mega-Venusaur and E4 with 4 mons is a joke
off unless I was specifically grinding
Kept it on because why would you willingly subject yourself to more X/Y?
Why would I turn it off?
the middle is right THOUGH
>I turned it off
>it got kind of annoying when
I only used two Pokemon so it doesn't matter.
>turn exp share off in Ultra Sun
>lose to school teacher
>lose five times to Ilima
This is fun, why would you turn it on?
>>lose to school teacher
>>lose five times to Ilima
pleb, git gud
My biggest complaint is the games are too easy, so why would I do things like grind on wild pokemon with exp share on?
So going vs 2 level 10 mons with a level 10, 8, and 7 team that gets two to three shot adds challenge to it.
I don’t find handicapping myself fun.
USUM is harder than every other game even with the exp share on anyway.
no game with affection bonuses is hard
well there's another point of debate, do you use affection bonuses or not? at least in Gen 7 they're optional if you don't engage with refresh.
I didn’t say the game is hard. You’re not very good with reading comprehension, are you?
??? Producing counters requires effort regardless of the exp share.
>Producing counters requires effort
Not when you can level 6 mons at a time.
Leveling 6 Pokemon doesn’t mean you automatically have counters. Are you moronic?
>Leveling 6 Pokemon doesn’t mean you automatically have counters.
You accuse other people of lacking reading comprehension and then you write something like this? No I don't "automatically" have counters but I quickly will in no time at all. If I struggle with a Fire type I just drop two pokemon for a Water type and a Ground type, quickly make them busted, and then all the difficulty evaporates.
> but I quickly will
So…it still requires effort? Your previous post said it doesn’t require effort. Make up your mind, moron.
relatively no effort, jesus how are you struggling with this
So it still requires effort so there’s still some difficulty? Therefore leaving the exp share on doesn’t render the difficulty pointless? Thanks for proving your own point wrong.
low iq
If you need to change up your party and grind to defeat an enemy then it wasn't an easy enemy.
That enemy is still being diminished by the exp share. They'd be tougher to beat without it. Eventually you'll have a load of broken Pokemon to counter everything. The second you get the exp share there's no reason to not just fill all 6 slots in your party. Even in Radical Reddit I don't feel impressed with the exp share. Pokemon's gameplay as it is just can't be balanced with the exp share.
The game is tougher to beat if you have a nice day in the foot in literally any way. This applies to literally anything in any game ever. I still have no reason to bother shooting myself in the foot.
Ok.
Pokemon's gameplay as it is can't be balanced with the exp share.
Nta but there’s zero reason not to have xp share in Pokemon and the old games suffer for not having it
According to who? USUM is harder than every other game even with shared exp.
The bar is so low this accolade is closer to an insult.
I'm not denying that USUM has great teams, they're still diminished by the exp share.
diminished how?
>every game is hard if you remove the thing making it easy
Yeah, Pokemon can't be balanced with the exp share.
>Yeah, Pokemon can't be balanced with 6 party slots
>Yeah, Pokemon can't be balanced with items
>Yeah, Pokemon can't be balanced with super-effective attacks
>Yeah, Pokemon can't be balanced with levels
If agreeing with those things means you concede that Pokemon can't be balanced with the exp share then sure.
Those are optional at least
That difficulty is rendered pointless when the exp share lets you mass produce counters without any effort on your part. It's a necessary handicap.
X/Y were dogshit, but at least they were better than modern Pokemon for letting you turn off the EXP All. I played through X without it on and a team of 9 (I swapped out my team members when they got too high leveled) and had a pretty decent challenge being 9 - 10 levels lower than most boss fights.
Sad that that's the lengths you have to go to to have a challenge in that shitpile of gen
>X/Y were dogshit,
nope
>Sad that that's the lengths you have to go to to have a challenge
clicking the PvP button or flying to the battle maison doesn’t take long
Why are the 3ds games better looking and more responsive than the switch games?
The cutscenes are even higher quality. You get to see things actually happen instead of fading to black.
Off, but I used OP pokemon
It was fun (Arcanine, florges, garchomp, lapras)
I never had a garchomp before
I find it hilarious that people cry and scream their lungs out for how GF made the Exp. Share be always on, yet say that X&Y are "easy games", just because they don't turn it off, even though they can. And they aren't even hypocrites for that. They are just THAT stupid.
no they're also easy with it off
They aren't any easier than any other game, with or without the Exp. Share. If anything, they can really catch you off guard with it off, with the Pokemon, levels and moves most NPC's have. Stop parroting everything the DS roaches spit.
>They aren't any easier than any other game
yeah they are
I just wanted to level my eevee I got from trade
Off. I like it when only the ones I use in battle get experience. I didn't even like the pre gen 6 Exp Share or Exp All. It feels weird when a Pokemon that doesn't participate in the battle gets experience. Like, if you're giving experience to everything in the party, why not the PC too?
