ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME????

I SPENT ALL MY FUCKING SATURDAY GRINDING 3 PLATINUMNUMEMONS AND THEIR PASSIVE DOESN'T GIVE BONUS XP????
This is probably because of the General Rebalance Mod, wow what a bitch, I think I'll just deactivate it to grind.

I mean, I sorta got it. I spent 100 hours refusing to use those "cheap tactics" and I was playing through the game just fine without max-grinding, simply using my digimon as I got them and getting the necessary ABI...
But the second you DO want more choices and to experiment with a bigger roster you definitely want as much XP as possible. Not that Platinum Sukamon + Tactician was bad, but it was still about 1-2 levels per fight at some point meaning you'd need a lot to get to decent levels (60~)
Good thing I didn't save when evolving it, I'll just turn off the mod and evolve to get them with the right passive.
