This game is only hard in the last few areas. And by that I mean Poni Island in which everyone suddenly jumps up a few levels.

Even then Lusamine's fucking bear has nothing to hit ghosts.

>>30353871
I love this game but that's just straight up embarrassing

>>30353871
See I like the game but the movesets were one of my big problems with it.

>he didn't do Poni Gauntlet
>He didn't do the battle tree (without) properly trained mons
>he didn't do battle royal yet

the story was easy, post game is more difficult

Brutal Swing

Ghost types are still shit in this game, lol. You wall one mon with Decidueye, wow so easy.

>>30353871
>You guys told me this game was hard
Who the fuck told you that?

>>30354331
It does not
All it did to my decidueye was painsplit.pretty pathetic

>>30353871
You haven't finished the game so shut the fuck up already

"Hard" and "harder" aren't the same concept.

Why do people here not get that

Because Gamefreak can't program smart AI

They're AWFUL at it.

I ran a test on that one Z trainer with my Haunter and a Magnemite. They had a Fearow with Pursuit. Each time I sent out my Magnemite it'd use Pursuit. Each time I sent out my Haunter, it'd use Aerial Ace.

It could KILL with Pursuit if it used it, but it always went back to Aerial Ace when I sent the Haunter out.

It's why Lusamine's Clefable is a joke. Since it'll fucking shit itself and use Metronome every other turn.

Programmer here.

GF's total inability to program a decent AI is fucking baffling. I mean, just fucking insane. Making an AI that would run circles around what's in the game would take an amateur maybe a week of casual work. A professional team would be able to do it in an afternoon.

But noooo. Instead we get a fucking flowchart. Not even a long flowchart. Fuck.

Main story is made for 10 year olds.

Christ, half the second battle was just her mons spamming pain split over and over. Most of the time it just damaged her pokemon and did nothing to mine. Had all the time in the world to set up on her.

10 year olds aren't retarded, and they don't need to be put in front of an AI that may as well be throwing darts at its move list in order to win or have fun.

Kids thrive when put in front of challenges that they can understand. As long as they know all the rules, they'll figure it out. And there are not that many rules in Pokemon. They'll figure it out.

I hate how people assume that kids can't handle challenges or will give up at the slightest bump. They just don't do that. I've worked in a daycare, I know this first hand. Kids love being challenged.

Doesn't change that it was made for them.

I was playing pokemon red, on release, when I was 6 years old, I had a blast, never blacked out, and beat the game in a few days, and the games have only gotten slowly easier.

>>30355903
well apparently plenty of people are getting rekt at least once throughout the game, so that's a step up

>>30355972
Kids are getting dumber
