>>57194385> We can discard gen 1 to 5 as the easiest, seeing as they don't have any friendship derivative mechanics nor easy QoL meant to trivialize the game every single gen 1-5 game is easier than every single gen 7+ game. And gen 5 absolutely does have QoL meant to trivialize the game. Why do you think the game gives you a Lucky Egg for free? Or spams Audino everywhere? Or make the gym leaders and E4 absolutely pathetic and only use 3/4 Pokemon at most?
