tedious =/= hard
Lead with a Ghost pokémon and all wild encounters becomes no
problem.It 's just a shitload of work if you need to backtrack all the time to switch bikes and can't use an Escape Rope/Dig.

>>22937947 This. Cut out about a third of that false difficulty bullshit and you might be onto something cool though.

I think it should take a certain amount of effort to get Manaphy, even if it is artificial difficulty.

>>22938004 So then devise an experience that actually feels tough, but rewarding, and not just like more tedious back and forth grinding bullshit.

>>22938017 This
Having to leave and come back once or twice is fine but anything more than like 3 and you're just wasting my time for no fuckin reason
Like you say yourself OP, it should take effort. It should be hard to do. What you're describing isn't hard it just takes longer

>>22938017 What if there was a maison-like dungeon where the further you went, the trainers teams would adapt to your team and at the end could be items like the shiny charm or mystical pokemon like Victini

Getting a legend is a cool thing any casual would do and working on something challenging is normal
Breeding is autistic, yes, but it's for competitive battling and anybody competitively playing pokemon is already an autist so

Using HMs is annoying and they shouldn't even be in the game imo.

>>22937924 I like the idea of a bonus dungeon with a reward, but this particular idea is shit. It's not actual difficulty, it's just ridiculous tedium and inconvenience. High-leveled trainers with cohesive and powerful teams, actually complex puzzles and the necessity to leave one slot open would make for a good challenge with the right setup.

Why not Pokémon Ranger remakes with DP remakes?
