USUM receives the greatest difficulty increase.
But the difficulty doesn't change too much for a lot of games, most notably XY, which is still on babymode.
In order to make that game challenging you would have to do something like
>use a single shitmon>Don't use O powers>Don't use items in battle>Don't use the Lucky EggThen the game would give you a challenge, but who really wants to limit themself that much.
I did a struggle only run of Colosseum a few months ago and it was definitely harder but also way less fun due to having pretty much no options, it was just playing a slot machine.
They really just need to put in multiple difficulties in Pokemon. The franchise has a fanbase with a large range in age and skill/knowledge. Adding an option that would appeal to older fans while still keeping baby mode for babies would be profitable for GameFreak.
A lot of people really don't like the idea of making a game harder by putting self-imposed limits on yourself.
