What plausible reason does GameFreak have for not adding in difficulty settings? I mean, they clearly toyed with the idea but implemented it terribly in Gen 5, why didn't they just put it in the options menu?
Even if you wanna rationalize it saying "It's a kid's game, wouldn't want kids to accidentally pick it", you could still hide it behind like, 3 "Are you very very sure" prompts and maybe a button combination or something so even the most acoustic kids won't be bothered by it.

They're lazy.

Its called the exp share
Very lazy to balance it
Too much effort for no reward. As far as they're concerned, nobody complains about the lack of difficulty modes, so there's no need to have them.

/vp/ wants it.
Casuals don't want it.
Casuals are the main audience for the Pokemon games.
/vp/ isn't.
It's as simple as that. Same reason we haven't gotten a battle frontier since gen 4.
