@hol_up I don’t think most people care that much if other people decide to trivialize the games for themselves. Also, from what I hear a lot of people do like just reusing their old team members for some reason. In any case, HOME connectivity is just nice for transferring in Shinies caught in other games, easing the task of completing the Pokedex without NSO, or bringing in unobtainable Pokemon (in my case, transferring in certain DLC Pokemon, as I didn’t want to pay for that).
