Pokemon has always been a simple RPG, so I don't really care that much about the difficulty. But later games do give you more and more resources out of this fear that kids won't finish.
It's funny to think how the 3DS system is mostly optional though. I played XY without Exp.Share and fought Diantha in the 60s evenly. But Ohmori said that most people just play with it on.
