>>49123295Reborn doesn't have difficulty settings iirc, the set difficulty isn't as hard as Rejuv Intense mode. The story is a LOT edgier, within the first minute or so about half a dozen people die in a terrorist attack. Multiple gym leaders have no problem straight up murdering the villainous team grunts. The Villainous Boss is just, better than you whenever the plot demands it. One of the gym leaders and the champion are trans or some shit. In general the writing is considerably more terrible than Rejuv. But the environmental design is pretty excellent. You spend the first 30-40% of the game in one city, and while that might sound horrible, I personally found it to be one of the most unique Pokémon experiences I ever played. Most mons aren't available through typical wild encounters cuz there's basically no grass patches, so you have to follow contextual events like in Rejuv. You find a Electrike being mauled by some Mighyena and save it to add it to you team. You go dumpster diving to find a Gulpin. Shit like that. It's fuckin kino.
The difficulty isn't as frustrating as Rejuv Intense but you will find yourself having to grind up new teammates to match the new threats every significant boss fight, and after a point the game basically expects you to rebreed your entire team for better IVs and Natures, and also EV train them. The game is about 90% done right now, the final episode is slated to come out this spring.
