>>45658047Yes, and that's the fact that GameFreak won't have a proper understanding of how to actually make a game difficult much like most of the idiots here who cry about it.
GameFreak's idea of making the game more difficult would just be boosting the levels and maybe a held item or two attached to NPC teams (but only the important ones like leaders). There wouldn't be any increased sense of difficulty within the games because the only thing that would change is the numbers and that's easily bypassed with the age old argument of >just grind lol.
There's only so much you can do to make Pokemon more difficult without falling into bullshit territory and that is especially true of AI incapable of playing like a human in a 1 on 1 format, there's absolutely no way GameFreak could get it right. Start asking for them to use Double Battles and other formats in the main game so they can come up with more interesting fights before clamouring for what is essentially "big numbers make brain happy :)"
