Now, I'm sure you're all aware of the Pokemon Black and White games that were set up to prevent players from gaining Exp should they play a ROM instead of the actual game. Whether or not you approve of this anti-piracy method, it does raise an interesting question: is it possible to win when you don't gain experience from battle?
Now, that's not saying leveling up is impossible. You can still get Rare Candies and put your Pokemon in daycare. You simply won't gain experience points from KOing other Pokemon.
Instead of going out and level grinding, you'd have to try to catch progressively stronger Pokemon or just leave yours in the daycare while wasting time going around in circles to give them exp.
Evolving Pokemon would become difficult, but still not impossible with the help of Rare Candy.
Of course, if it's that much trouble just to level up, who'd want to play? Seems like too much trouble just for one more level.
Thoughts? Opinions? Discuss.
EDIT: To be clear, I'm not condoning downloading the ROM or thinking about doing it myself. I'm just curious as to what everyone thinks about the idea of playing while not gaining exp.
