I did think it was hard because I won't lie. It was the first Pokemon game entirely designed not to be cheesed by the starter. Through Gen 1/2/3 I just blazed through with the starters as a kid. So I felt like I was being punished for using one mega mon in D/P and learned more about team composition.
Granted. These were my first games after not playing Pokemon in nearly 6 years.
