Would you expect a Barbie game to have sophisticated difficulty settings? how about a hot wheels game? Pokemon is for children, and you can't expect any more from it

>>383974913
>At least make the gym leaders/rivals/elite 4 the only ones who can scale with you.

Come on...

>>383974913
It's almost like Pokemon is designed for kids or something

Pokemon has an immense potential for a player to create their own difficulty without the need for a game setting telling you that it's harder.
Do you play on Switch mode? Change to Set.
Do you play with Experience Share active? Turn it off.
Do you use items in battle? Stop doing that.

With these small changes, none of which drastically effected core gameplay and none of which forced me to grind, Moon changed from something mindless into a fun challenge that had me putting thought into my team and utilizing moves outside of damage-dealing.

>mfw all my friends that complain about Pokemon's "easy difficulty" play on Switch instead of Set, use max EV/IV pokemon and one-shot Totem Pokemon with Z-moves

>>383981080
Switch mode being the default was a mistake.

>>383981174
Z-moves were a massive mistake. Totem bosses were ludicrously fun but too many retards one-shot them with Z-moves.

Wishiwashi calling an Alomamola for HP and status healing, Salazzle and Salandit doing Toxic/ Venoshock or Lurantis doing sick solar combos with Castform were great.

>>383974913
But that's a great idea and Nintendo doesn't seem to want those.
I think there is a point where we have to admit the Pokemon games are for younger audiences and aren't going to grow with us. Sun and Moon were the easiest games in the series yet.

>>383981867

Personally I've been working on something like this. Been developing a pkmn game for a few years that has varying difficulties. You can only use a set number of mon during gym battles; Similar to the show.

I don't think level scaling would be the right word for it, but would it be interesting if the games allowed you to challenge some gym leaders in any order sort of like in Kanto but as you beat each of them, all of the others get a level boost? You still get the good feeling from leveling your own Pokemon to eventually become stronger than opponents, but you're also given a challenge that increases as you progress.

>>383984029
there's a rom hack for fire red which i think is called reverse red where you start off in pallet town but go south to cinnbar island and as the name suggests do the game in reverse order

>>383983581
I still don't know what they were thinking with including Switch mode in the first place, especially making it default. After playing against a human or even against postgame AI, Switch feels like blatant cheating.

Thats what OP wants, a game mode that doesnt let you rofl stomp through it with an overleveled starter
I usually play the hardmode+catch em all romhacks and most of them are pretty decent on difficulty except for this one emerald one I played that had a huge gap between wild pokemon in a given area and the trainer pokemon. It made it near impossible to make any roster changes beyond mauville

One of the things that irks me about Pokemon is that only something like 5-10 are viable per game if you want the absolute best Pokemon. I'd rather all Pokemon be viable but "lesser" Pokemon with great stats are harder to find.

Friendly reminder that Dark Rising, the best GBA romhack, has all story trainers level with you. You literally can't overlevel

>>383985239
That's retarded, you can literally beat any Pokemon game with anything you want, and there are far more than 5-10 viable things per game unless you're playing Gen 1-2 exclusively.

scaling is good if done right. what's the point of a boss if you can overlevel it and kill it with no risk of failure whatsoever? on the other hand, if regular mobs scale with your level, you never get the feeling that your character is advancing at all. Scaling should be done for bosses/significant, major encounters only.

I worded my statements poorly.

What I meant was if you want to play online against other players you generally have to use top tier Pokemon or you are fucked. Obviously I can beat the main game with random shit if I level the fuck out of them. I'm not doing shit in the end game with Garbador or pic related.

more often than not scaling breaks immersion in rpgs (spawning level 1000 bandits with the best armor in the game like in oblivion) and removes any sense of progression or reason to get better gear when the world will simply scale to you.

it's a far lesser evil to risk being overleveled and it can be bypassed by adding a lot of hard encounters before bosses that lock you temporarily from certain areas until you feel confident enough.

>>383986157
Probably not. I'm speaking of tiers in terms of "These Pokemon have better base stats than all the other Pokemon so they are by default the better choice."

>>383986126
That sounds retarded.

>>383986080
The only place you have to do that is in a highly competitive OU environment.
What, do you want Butterfree to be similar in stature to Tyranitar? You want them to butcher the natural progression of monster strength in the main game for the sake of more PvP options?

>>383986242
Team composition, movesets, and playing intelligently can beat stats.

>>383986248
So do you LMAO

>>383986228
Games just have to find a way to make grinding extremely time consuming to make it an unappealing option.

>>383980932
>turn off EXP share
yeah, because grinding is so fucking difficult and fun, anon. I just loved the Emerald days when I got 3 EXP for each battle and every pokemon needed 5000 EXP to level up.

>>383986297
Obviously if someone doesn't know how to play the game they'll lose but to put it in Smash terms, someone using a Fox will most likely beat someone using a Bowser or a DK. The amount of skill needed to overcome the statistical disadvantages is immense.

You missed the part where I said I didn't grind. I was a good 10 levels below the competition by the end of Moon, but I got through it with a strong team composition and status moves.
Grinding in the vast majority of modern RPGs is a fail-safe and should not be your go-to strategy to overcome challenges.

>>383986297
Until those stats also have good teams, movesets and are playing intelligently

>>383986552

The remakes were DEFINITELY easier than the originals. I played Emerald first via CFW'd 3DS and then played Omega Ruby afterwards. The only thing that made Emerald slightly challenging was the grind, which isn't really difficult but rather just retarded gameplay padding.
Pokemon needs smarter AI, not bullshit like moar grind or just setting the battle settings to Set to give your opponent a free hit on you before you switch out your mon. The fact that removing the grind via Exp Share really demonstrates that the only thing that made the previous games "hard" was artificial difficulty rather than the opponent's strength and strategies.

>>383986550
thats honestly my pet peeve about rpg discussion is when people try to pull the "lol games not hard you just need to grind for 6 hours" instead of actually learning how to play
