Are they piss easy like gen 6 and gen 5 or do they go back to being slightly more difficult like the earlier gens?
totem pokemon definitely can give you some trouble if your team isn't prepared, and there's a few battles that are surprisingly challenging. overall it's the same as any other pokemon game
The latter.
Feels like gen 5 difficulty.

its hard with the regional Pokemon they give you and also because the starters are not particularly strong.

If I were to rate the difficutly from X&Y to R&S I would rate it around D&P

You could tell they actually tried to make it harder.
>Totem pokemon have strategy built into the fights
>Later trainers have more than 3 pokemon
>Can't use Legendary pokemon in any of the boss fights (except the Elite 4)
>The Elite 4 have 5 PokemonThe Plot Final Boss uses 5 Totem-powered Pokemon.
Also with the way exp. Is given this gen is less likely your PKMN are overleveled when facing the story trainers. I used the exp share and the refresh Boost and I was all the time just 2-3 levels above the npc's. Also the trainers now make "predictions" and change PKMN more often.
i skipped like half the trainers to give myself a harder challenge. actually had to strategize for some fights later in the game.

totem pokemon are cheesed with z moves so its not hard

Agree with the other posters, trainer have actual strats and swap out pokemans from time to time. Fucking got 2x sneaky pebbles used on me.
Okay thanks guys, glad to hear that it's more challenging than the last few games. Sounds like GF may have actually listened to feedback.
