>>36453630>That's how this franchise has been since day one.Don't be stupid. They didn't start deliberately removing every single shred of difficulty until XY came along. RBY and GSC were unchallenging due to them not knowing how to either make functioning AI or the most basic form of a level curve and after that it was less about them intentionally making it too easy and more just the player being ahead of the curve.
You can't look at BW2 and XY-on and think they were going for the same audience.
