    In ORAS, have you been keeping the Exp Share On or Off? Or maybe you've been alternating? How come?

    Also, how do you feel about X/Y's Exp Share returning? Do you prefer this Exp Share or the functionality from previous generations, being a held item and only giving spare exp to that single Pokémon?

    I feel cheap saying this, but I keep it on. It's so useful and even though it makes leveling easy, I just like it this way. I would have preferred a one poke held item EXP sorta thing but this will do.

    I'm going to keep it on for my first playthrough in Omega Ruby. When I play through Alpha Sapphire, I'm going to have it turned off so I can have more of a challenge :)

    I think I'll play with it off. I had the exp share on for my X save, so I want to try and different experience this time. I do actually prefer the idea of it being just one held item, but since its not like that any more, I'll try switching it off when I get AS on Friday :)

    I have it on. It makes it a bit easier for me, and with some of the types of Pokémon I use, or where they're found, it's very helpful to raise them up while not putting them over the rest of my team.

    I have my Exp Share off, and it makes the game much more challenging and fun. Though, even with Exp Share on this game is challenging lol I love ORAS <3

    I keep it on. I've been going through the game at a pretty quick pace, and I don't have time to grind each and every Pokémon.

    It's been off the whole game for me. I don't want to get dirty.

    Ooh, the X/Y Exp. Share is back? Figured it would be but still neat to know. -dies because cannot pay game until Wednesday......-

    Anyways, I'll probably keep mine on until I feel I'm getting a little too high-leveled and then turn it off once again while my levels slowly fall behind. Don't think I'll keep it on throughout the entire game as that'll be boring and cheap, I feel. x~x In general I find the updated experience sharing useful but it makes an already-easy game much easier and gets tedious to swap around party members when EV training if you don't want other Pokémon to get part of the experience/EVs.

    Yeah, I had it on for a bit after I got it so I could stabilize my team's levels, and then I turned it off. I've had it off since then, but I still feel quite overleveled heh ; w;

    Kept the Exp. Share on for Pokémon X and then OR on my 3DS. Entire party gets the exp, so that's the point.

    Want to have an easy playthrough? Turn the EXP. Share on! Want a bigger challenge? Turn it off then!

    That's literally as easy as it is. You are given a choice of difficulty for the games in the form of an item. How do you want to play, easy or medium? It's all in your hands.

    I personally will try to keep it turned off, although the temptation is high of course...

    I have Exp. Share off for my blindlocke but I might have it on for the casual playthrough in AS. It makes the games so much easier if you just wanna go easy and enjoy the story instead of level grinding for Arceus only knows how long later in the game. Is a very useful thing to have that's for sure since the party gets half the exp the Pokémon that battled did, makes it so much easier to level if you just wanna enjoy the game.

    I leave my EXP Share on because I reap the benefits of such an exploitation XD I like that the whole team gets some EXP even though they don't take part in the battle which is just fabulous for training the weaker ones :P

    I guess I don't really like a challenge but even though I still use the EXP Share I still face them :D

    I leave my Exp Share on always. It is just something that I really like. One of my biggest problems with the original generation 3 games was that you were always super underleveled.

    I've kept it off for the most part, except when I need to grind up my team if they're underleveled for something. For the main story, I just always kept it off, it's way too easy to get overleveled if you leave it on, haha. I always leave it off in Nuzlockes, especially.
