I hate to say this, but maybe part of the problem is that there are too many pokemon available? Sure XY had a huge regional dex, but that also meant you could get a lot of OP pokemon in game, like a team of aegislash, garchomp, salamence, and even other pseudos. It doesn't help that the game hands out uber level mega stones like candy without the opponents ever using them against you. Of course you could steam roll through the game with all that power. The EXP share is an issue too, it makes it so easy to overlevel that even gym leaders aren't a problem. And don't even get me started on the shitty pokemon they use, with incomplete movesets like Tierno.
Pic related is why Platinum is so great, while games like HGSS and XY lack in any real strategy.
The games need
>gym leaders or any trainers with complete teams and diverse movesets
>a way to grind that isn't so easy you can do it with your eyes closed and sweep gym leaders
>you can't just give the player access to super cheap tactics like megas or Z-moves and then not have the opponents use it against them. what's the point of then other than to make the game easier?
Of course this will never happen because GF only panders to children and genwunners, so hacking it is
