Chapter 283

For most amateur trainers, items are basically not something they should consider.

After all, Pokémon battles involve things that are a bit too complex.

Even excluding a portion of Legendary Pokémon that are almost impossible to see, the remaining Pokémon species are nearly a thousand, not to mention there are thousands of strange moves.

Being able to have a basic understanding of the Pokémon distributed in one's region and knowing how to cultivate Pokémon already makes one a qualified or even excellent trainer.

And on this basis, wanting to master battles also requires adding additional items such as characteristics and move development.

Being able to synthesize these factors together and form one's own unique understanding qualifies one to be an experienced trainer.

As for items...

Although the craftsmen of the Pokémon world have made many strange things by hand, the prices are mostly not particularly expensive, but there are really not many who can use them.

The reason is also very simple—

This thing is very demanding on the trainer's comprehensive understanding of Pokémon, and even requires careful design according to the opponent to exert good effects.

Many people don't have this ability at all, so they basically just take the easy way out and bring a berry, or they are items like the Choice series or Focus Sash that don't require burning their brains.

Therefore, most trainers haven't focused on them, but focused on polishing the Pokémon's own strength.
