These !@#$ Gold Skills!
Disclaimer: Yes I know Gold Skills can be turned off when you get to a certain friendship badge.
I don't remember when I began playing Pokémon Sleep being inundated with SO many Gold Skills. And I don't mean Helping Bonus, that's a blessing. No I mean the other Gold Skills.. Research EXP Bonus, Sleep EXP Bonus, Energy Recovery Bonus, Dream Shard Bonus and sometimes Skill Level Up (we have seeds!)
And I don't know about you but I see Helping Bonus the least.
So here's the thing, I'm sure there are players out there who love these skills, know how to use them, are strategic about when to use them. Great!
But tell me how these help an Ingredient Pokémon to have 3-4 Gold Skills? Or even one?? Go ahead and put your Ingredient Pokémon through the "Rate-my-Pokémon" on RaenonX and tell me if those subskills tank your ingredient Pokémon. Nothing is worse then getting a AAA with a perfect Nature to be plagued by those Gold Skills.
What I want to know from everyone else, do you notice them more now??? It's so bad, I went through the last month of Pokémon in my box and realized there wasn't one without the Gold Skills! 90% were not Helping Bonus. And if I DID see Helping Bonus? It was with another Gold Skill. MANY had 3-4.
It takes so long to get a good Ingredient Pokémon, if you aren't lucky enough to get a good one before level 10, (which I still get these gold skills before level 10) Then sure enough those Gold Skills fill some important slot.
Am I alone in this?
