Yeah, cheating in Pokemon is what finally killed my love for the games as a kid. A friend wanted to show me his cool Action Replay, turned on every cheat and left my game saved in a state where it would be a lot of work to get back to "normal". Somehow it revealed all the grindy bits that I had been okay with up until that point.
But it definitely does depend on the person. My friend was still having fun with his Pokemon games after. Another friend in high school seemed to get more fun out of typing the level skip code on Starcraft than beating the levels the intended way.
- Sakos 4y agoWeird. I'm disillusioned with games that have grind as a major pillar. So my most memorable games have been games like Soma or Outer Wilds. Can't say I like games as a whole any less, I just avoid a number of genres.
