>>56090371>>56090375For the record, I don't know who is who since all my autism is dedicated to Pokemon and not keeping track of anonymous identities. I don't understand how this thread went to shitpostville that quickly. I didn't have any problems at all in my thread, and while I questioned OPs decisions I thought he was playing earnestly.
I also don't really get the fixation on having difficult pokemon games or the thought that more difficulty means better pokemon games. I played through everything from Red to BW2 recently and the biggest thing they all had in common was how it allowed you to define your difficulty. You could choose to use items in battle or not and you could anticipate and prepare for stronger opponents however you liked. That freedom is why pokemon games are so accessible, and why self made challenges like Nuzlockes took off so much. I don't think pokemon games ever need to be hard, because you can choose to make it hard for yourself. I think that mindset is best reflected in the medal system where one of the challenge medals you earn is by beating the pokemon league with only one pokemon. The challenge is there, you just have to seek it out.
