Challenge mode is never ever coming back because Game Freak doesn't think the average person has enough time for Pokemon.

Don't I have to say "hello" first?

Silly anon. I did 3 years ago

Can't say bye to something that never was
At least we have difficulty hacks.
>>29346461
The game is only as hard as you want it to be. Limit yourself, do mono type, ironman, don't let others limit you. Stop being a bitch OP.

Exactly. Pokemon games never was hard. I play this shit from 1st gen and never had a problem unless I try limit my team. Best fun? Go mono type.

I don't give a fuck man, if i really wanted to play a difficult rpg game i would either play a rom hack of pokemon or just go play fire emblem or something like that, otherwise i'm just happy playing the game and doing matches against friends with my favorite pokemons

I'm not familiar with an ironman run, what is that? A nuzlocke with an added challenge?

I cleared Pokemon Red at the age of 9 with a Venusaur, a Snorlax with HM moves only and a flyslave Fearow

With CFW you can rom hack and make your own harder versions.
There are already trainer and wild encounter editors for XY and ORAS, people have made difficulty/all Pokemon hacks for them already. The guy behind the Star/Rutile ORAS hack promised a S&M hack too for greater challenge, hopefully he delivers.
GF is retarded, so that's the only way. BW2 Challenge Mode even wasn't hard at all after the first 2 gyms, it needed to do so much more. Just play Blaze Black 2 to get an idea of how it should have been done.
