Rather, Gamefreak needs to improve AI - however, it's all too easy for them to have Shift mode as default and make most of the in game trainers make braindead decisions, then slap on unfair AI on whatever postgame facility they introduce.
Quite frankly, it's sickening, and it seems to insult the intelligence of the children who play the games. But yes, I do suppose we haven't got a more difficult game since.
