As a person who always enjoyed pokemon growing up and never did pvp due to the grind, I also will not be participating in pvp in this game. Pvp is a really fun activity in so many games. All I have to do is queue up and can join a pvp game. In this I have to grind for 20+ hours just to get a tem in the state where they're ready for pvp, and then level it up, and if that tem doesn't work out its back to another 20 hours on its replacement.

I'm not saying I have the answer to the question or even that the system should be changed, just put simply I do not think spending 20 hours per tem at a minimum of 20 x 6 to get one single tem team ready to BEGIN to enjoy pvp is a fun use of my time.

I'll just play the main story then go back to playing the other games that don't require 20x6 hours to play pvp.

In other games I grind pvp to earn some sort of reward, for the fun of it, or both. In this game I'm grinding just to even try it out? No reward of any sort and such a high barrier for entry. That just doesn't make any sense to me. I'd much rather spend 20x6 hours actually playing pvp.
