Single post in Finding the right balance (HM vs Shiny hunting)

Looking at these changes, I don't have any issues with them, but I'm still not liking the fact that we'd have to spend more if we want the same effect we had with the old HM. The big features, at least for me, were the chain boost, exp boost, and release timer decrease, and it'll be annoying to have to spend more to continue to get these boosts, especially when none of the new bonuses seem to justify the increase. Maybe it's different for others, but I'd love the option to stick with the old HM. Even outside of my preferences, it'd be nice as an intermediate option between just the chain boost and the new upgraded HM.
