Forums - Gaming - Why is Pokemons the ONLY JRPG where Grinding is Fun/Acceptable?

I HATE grinding & many people I know hate it too.

A great JRPG is one where you don't need to grind.....as you go up levels as you go along the game.

but I must say, in pokemon I like to grind, I don't know why but I remember when I was in primary, everyone was mad about getting their pokemon up levels & everyone used to grind like mad, without hating it. Pokemon is definetely the only, if not one of the few JRPG's where people don't see grinding as a weak point.

why though? New attacks, evolutions? Maybe that makes grinding worth it

Do you see grinding as a negative in pokemon or a positive?

I see it as a positive, it makes pokemon more addictive!

Because Gamefreak employs Wizards who ensorcel each and every Pokemon cartridge with a Spell of Addictiveness.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Because...Theres one hundred and fifty or more to see, to be a pokemon master is my destiny!

Pokemon is pokemon with grinding, but it needs more



@bladycor

I KNOW

I've been playing pokemon for almost 10 years now

Most of the basics havn't changed, but every damn time the games are addicting & I have no complaints against grinding in them.

In fact I have Pokemon Platinum at home but I'm not starting it till I finish my other DS games, as I'll just get addicted & ignore those other DS games

Thats not true, I think the exceptance of grinding is when u started JRPG's....old school JRPG's gamers Dont mind. moderners what everything easy



there are some games that i enjoy grinding in them , if they reward you for it that is.



That´s because the grinding in pokemon is useful in the game because you can EV train with the pokemon you fight and it's simply fun.



the grinding in pokemon isn't a negative because its a hell of a lot quicker and easier than the grinding you have to do in most mmorpgs



Currently Watching - Naruto, One Piece

Waiting For - Skyrim, Mass Effect 3
