in pokemon i always preplanned the team on bulbapedia down to the last minute detail, well maybe not that far since i didn't care about ivs and natures but moves being spread out perfectly and not using tms and useful abilities? absolutely. and i only ever used six and fought every trainer because i stupidly thought it would waste exp even though you can refight trainers in the gba games, and even if you couldn't who cares man the grass exists. also in jrpgs more generally i liked to get every item from chests and npcs,

honestly that probably affected me not liking the series as much as other jrpgs. earlier this year i played through pokemon platinum relatively normally (still didn't wanna waste tms but if i could get them back i'd use em) and it was a lot of fun. didn't know the game as well so it was tricky at times too as i switched my team up so i was underleveled. maybe i'll replay emerald like that, love that one.
