>>17085059X/Y is a challenge if you don't turn on EXP share.
I didn't say it was hard at all. The ones I didn't point out were the ones I used potions for and the reason why there was a bracket for gen 4 was because I had to use potions for Platinum.
I don't think my pokemon ever fainted in HGSS but if I were to recommend an alternative to HGSS try out SacredGold/StormSilver. They are hacks made off HGSS that level the trainers/gyms/wildpokemon/e4 as it should and can have all pokemon up to Gen4's pokedex obtainable.
