You kinda had to for earlier games. You can't blame people for not instantly changing their play styles post gen vi

Honestly, even doing that, without the EXP share the game was pretty decently paced. If they'd just given Hau, Gladion and the Kahunas more pokemon, it'd be a decent enough challenge.

Challenge mode when?

lol fuck off with this shit argument. Any well designed game should be well balanced regardless of how the player plays.

That's the thing with Pokemon.

"Oh, this game is too easy."

No, it's not easy. You're doing things that are making the game easier. Using the same Pokemon, using Pokemon that are super-effective against the opponent, using TMs that provide SE coverage, using EXP Share, etc.

Pokemon has been the type of series where you decide how easy or hard it becomes.

If you decide to use Brick Break Crabrawler against Totem Gumshoos, you'll have a different experience than if you go in with your starter.

>regardless of how the player plays.
I used trading to obtain a level 100 mewtwo, and now everything is too easy. Clearly, this is the fault of the game, as it should be balanced around me trading in a level 100 mewtwo. Also, later on in the game, it should be balanced around me spamming X Items so my Mewtwo has +6 in everything. If it doesn't, the game is an unbalanced broken piece of shit that makes Sonic 06 look like a masterpiece in comparison.

It is. The disobedience handicap for traded Pokemon should be harsher than it is.

You can blame people for not realising that multiplying a number by 3.5 causes it to become bigger.

A player has no idea if the game is going to scale the difficulty to match that 3.5.

Seriously, do you faggots play any game that actually has GOOD balance that isn't Pokemon? These arguments are dreadful.

AFTER finishing the game you fucking moron. A player going into a game blind naturally assumes the game is going to be balanced around the tools the game gives the player.

When you play the game, it will become apparent by the 3rd gym or so that you're becoming overlevelled. If your solution is to not adjust your playstyle and blame the game for not being balanced around your personal preference, then you are the fucking moron.

Games can have difficulty spikes.

Go play better games that aren't Pokemon because it's becoming increasingly obvious that you haven't and you know nothing about game design.

A game aimed primarily at children that is easy by default, and offers options for people who want more difficulty is good game design.

Sun and Moon are easy regardless. I didn't use a single Z-move on my first playthrough.

>the game isn't easy, just play with one solo weedle, never use items on it, never evolves it, replace it with a new level 1 weedle whenever it levels up, never uses a pokemon center, never teach it new moves, reset the game whenever you get a critical hit, and most importantly never activate EXP share!

But it doesn't "offer" options. It's just apologists like you suggesting people to purposely shoot themselves in the foot to artificially make it harder.

Also there are plenty of games designed for children that have difficult sections.

No pokemon game is hard, see >>33870830. If you don't do that, you're shooting yourself in the foot and so your opinion is shit.

There's literally a menu called "options". Would you consider playing on set "purposely shooting yourself in the foot"?

Playing on set doesn't increase the difficulty in any significant way.

But it does increase the difficulty. Why is changing to set OK, but turning off the exp share makes me an apologist who shoots myself in the foot?
