Hello /vp/
My name is John GameFreak.
I come with a request for some help.
As you may be aware, we have been trying to make the Pokémon games easier each generation, to make it easier for our target audience of younger players to pick up the game.

Examples of how we've already done this is:
- Making poison an in-battle only status
- Adding an easy mode for Pokémon BW2
- Reducing the AI capability
- Shortening routes
- Reducing the number of Pokémon Gym Leaders and Elite 4 members carry
- Giving the player an increasing number of gift Pokémon throughout the game
- Significantly increasing the catch rate of legendary Pokémon
- Giving Pokémon EXP when you catch a Pokémon
- Making EXP Share like EXP All from Pokémon Red/Blue/Green/Yellow, but not reducing the EXP given to the party leader

Unfortunately, focus groups are telling us that the games are still too difficult. Therefore, I am asking you for ways to make the Pokémon games easier. We have Pokémon OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire coming out in November, so we have plenty of time to implement these changes. Your help in making these games easier would be much appreciated!
