Sweet Jesus this thread is terrible.
The bottom line of it is that ORAS, and by extension pokemon games in general, are naturally easy games. The Exp. Share just kicks it into ultra easy mode, because it's piratically impossible to not overlevel with it on.
If you want a challenge, do a fucking nuzlocke. Difficulty being self-imposed is not a bad thing. I enjoy playing the elder scroll series on a high difficulty, but I realize that not everyone wants to get murdered in the tutorial, so I don't think everyone should play on my difficulty level.
that being said, I do think that with the exp. share, there is more than enough room for GF to bring back the challenge mode mechanic, hopefully without having to jump through hoops to activate it.
