I'm actually playing through the game now. It's easier than ever. My team is 10 levels over most trainers on average and all my wild exp comes from catching. The three lower pokemon I actually swapped in because some things evolved and I decided to box them.
There's what, 15 hours of "easier than ever" until I get to fight some end gamers. When I inevitably beat them, so what?
There won't be a battle frontier to keep me entertained. And while fun, the normal campaign was still same post gen 6 feel.
Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the games. But this whole discussion on difficulty, as if some endgamers change how you'll spend most of the game one shotting stuff...
Hell, Ponyta only took damage because I wasn't paying attention and tried to kill a sudowoodo with fire. But it was fucking level 20 so it couldn't kill me even in 2 hits.
