"Mid-game (usually between gyms 3-6) is the best part"

I love the middle of each pokemon game. Your pokemon aren't low level bugs with one decent move (or just tackle...), but they're not roided up killers yet either. The routes, music, towns...etc are all new and there's an exploratory feel that's often lacking late-game. Your pokemon learn new moves and evolve regularly. The gym leaders (especially if it's a first playthrough) can actually be difficult if you don't know what's coming. Grinding is minimal in the games with a halfway decent level curve. The story doesn't feel anywhere close to over, and since your team isn't full yet, a new pokemon encounter is more exciting. So, here's to all the bayleefs, the route 113s, and the intermediate Galactic bosses of the world. They deserve more love IMO. Hope y'all agree! via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/3lgY6wg
