>>43470049Difficulty settings affect how not retarded the A.I is
Easy-the A.I is as dumb as it is in the main games
Normal-The A.I switches constantly to fuck you over
Hard-The A.I switchs and outpredicts you
Insane-The A.I knows everything about your team and thus counters everything you do until you break your switch in frustration.
>Increase levelsLevels are just numbers that designate stat distributions increasing them doesnt make the game harder it just makes the game more annoying since you have to level grind even more
>Give each trainer 6 pokemonNo the battles would take too long if you gave every trainer 6 pokemon thats why they limited it to 5 before the postgame.
Gym leaders are too easy
I agree how you deal with gyms changes on the difficulty.
Easy is same
Normal all gym leaders after the 3rd use six pokemon
First gym uses four pokemon
Second and third use 5 pokemon
Hard has all gym leaders using six pokemon and you are only allowed to have one pokemon on your team that resists their used typing
Insane is same as hard but you are not allowed to have a single pokemon on your team that can resist or is immune to the gym typing.
