Such a complicated feeling.

From what I've seen romhacks are fanfiction-tier poorly balanced messes that expect you to grind to get through. There's a difference between fun difficulty and difficulty for tryhard autists.

Not just that either, a lot of bosses in Sun and Moon have max IVs and plenty of EVs in the right stats. They're harder than bosses in most other Pokemon games.

I was meaning stuff like difficulty hacks for the gen vi games. they leave the entire plot intact, but ramp up the difficulty a bit (usually not to retarded levels) and typically give you a bit more variety in terms of wild pokemon.

rutile ruby and rising ruby come to mind as oras hacks

please tell me some and give me a resume of what they do, i want to play one that doesn't end up with the elite four at lvl 100.
A good one for me would probably be that all gym leaders and special battles such against team magma/aqua admin and leaders have strong teams with 6 pokemon but everything else is pretty much the same

You can make ORAS more difficult if you want (by dropping the Exp. Share, using Nuzlock's rules).

The overall shitness of Sun/Moon cannot be fixed.

Drayano60's rom hacks are basically vanilla games, but with higher difficulty and more variety in wild pokemon. They usually have full teams for nearly all important trainers, but they also tend to make generic "route trainers" a bit stronger (especially towards the end of the game) and cram each game's entire national pokedex into the wild, so the wild pokemon can be a bit messy.

I'm honestly not too sure about other difficulty hacks because I'm not really fussed about rom hacks in general, but if you're playing gen vi+ hacks, stay away from ones that recommend leaving the exp share on, because they're usually the ones that end up with lv100 elite four. I've also found that gen 5+ hacks nearly always leave the game's plot as it is, so no shitty fanfic stories there.

Gen 6 in general has difficulty problems. imo the games with some modicum of difficulty and a reasonable level curve are FrLg, DPPt, RSE, and BW/B2W2, though I'd lean more towards Emerald than RS for those games.

I played the game with the exp share deactivated the whole time as soon as I obtained it and I was still overleveled compared to everyone halfway through the game. I think to balance things out you should change some of your pokémon from time to time so you don't train only 6 of them throughout the game. I wouldn't be surprised if that's why they made the exp share so broke in the first place, actually, since the pokédex in XY is huge.

Just about every Pokemon game is easier if you solo it with one over leveled motherfucker, and they're all varying levels of braindead easy to begin with, the only thing that drives me to build diverse teams is a full team is cooler than just one Pokemon.

You basically described rising ruby. Rutile is the "lvl 100 e4" one.

Wait, Rising ruby has only the important battles altered and doesn't go balls to the walls with the grinding?

I always wanted a hard Pokémon game and while SM was harder than most, everything else was too annoying to let me enjoy the game. And BW2 on Challenger mode is harder anyways.

I can replay gen 6 for a long time, even if its piss easy, and if the online stays alive for Wonder Trade, thats great. I cannot replay SM without getting burned out.

You do realise he still can't make difficulty romhacks to save his life right? Once again they're of the grindy variety rather than being difficult while giving the player a smooth progression.
