>>57191641I agree gen 6 is harder than gen 5, but less because of sky battles specifically, and more because there’s a handful of random ass trainers in that game that are more dangerous than the gym leaders and can wreck your shit if you’re not careful. Like the breeder with an Azumarill with rollout, that fat team flare henchmen with a superpower + defiant octopus, the couple with the 2 doggos, etc... With gen 5, you can at least anticipate where to expect the difficulty spikes, but gen 6 throws noobs traps at you in the most random places.
