>>28235495Except Flint's team in Platinum was pretty fast so it wasn't just "spam EQ" unless you were overleveled. Meanwhile his team in DP had shitmons with absolutely awful movesets so your argument isn't working at all. The strongest moves on his non-Fires is either Fire Punch, Fire Fang or Ominous Wind depending on how you look at it. Third Gym in Platinum has better movesets.
Bertha's Sudowoodo doesn't even have a STAB attack, rendering its whole point of existence moot because flying types have immunity to its main attack and resist its second strongest move. Her Golem in DP has three moves super effective vs Rock but nothing vs Grass or Water. Bertha in DP has one move effective vs Ground, so you can use a ground type to counter most of her team, kinda hilarious. Her Quagsire is just a local annoyance with zero offensive presence.
Aaron in DP would be alright if not for the fact he has two literal shitmons most people discard around third gym.
Lucian is the only one who can be defended.
Cynthia's Pokemon in Pt are simply better except that questionable Togekiss (but it's against Gastrodon so difference isn't big).
Someone who played DP and was told to play Pt right after that would probably get wrecked a dozen of times. In DP you could literally give a free turn to a lot of enemies without much risk. In Pt you have to think about team composition and matchups. Difference is absolutely immense.
