>>19414931They need more pokemon, better movepool, and better pokemon. X/Y gave people access to 449 pokemon right off the bet, so with the exp.share you could experiment with any pokemon, But the reality is that it is all moot, when the trainers rarely use them, and in Garnet case, she was outright underpower, as her team was mostly shit. The dragon trainer not using a fucking Salamence and Garchomp.
If you want it hard, up their levels, give everyone more pokemon, better movepool, and some of the pokemon be actually good. Having access to 447 pokemon for the NPC, use them.
