>>29358907What I dont understand is how difficulty modes are so elusive for gamefreak. Nearly every other monster collecting game now has difficulty options.
And it's not like pokemon is marketed to just kids. The amount of gen 1 pandering is probably the most it's ever been due to the alola forms. So appealing to people who played the games 20 years ago with a still simple kids game isn't the brightest idea.
They wouldn't even have to tweak the A.I. They could just give important trainers more pokemon with varied types and more useful moves (even if it doesn't make sense for certain pokemon to know them at that point). And that would go a long way towards making the main story more engaging for some players.
