>>38648745Some great ideas...
-for a Hard Mode.
Those ideas are pretty top-tier, but definitely not for a kids game as-is. It'd pad fights out quite a bit and probably just get most people to look up Smogon info online and punish everyone for picking their favorites over what's good.
My thought:
1. Make Exp Share optional again and set the default to OFF
2. Change exp gain so that your levels tend to run a little lower than the trainers, rather than constantly above theirs
3. Reduce the effects of SE and x4 SE and their resistances a little. Most one-shots are because of this and the game telling you their weaknesses just makes it even easier to nuke one Pokemon after another.
4. Mmmmaybe disable the SE/resist info, or make it optional. Maybe even change it so you have to have seen/caught a certain number of said Pokemon before it works?
5. Reduced PP on a bunch of moves, to try to get players to use more of their Pokemon.
5a. Make it so PP is per-battle and most attacks have MUCH less.6. Change Toxic so it's NOT on every damn Pokemon.
