Why people keep repeating X/Y and ORAS are easy? I'm playing through them for the first time and got wiped several times already. Shit is insane. I can nuzlock gen I through IV with no problem but even with Exp Share on and grinding Kalos is kicking my butt pretty hard. The movesets and held items are all well thought this gen instead of just being randomly picked like retards. Also the rivals are finally worthy of being called rivals.

Is the whole "Gen VI is easy" schtick a meme just like calling the leaked starters fakemons?
