>>45826504The postgame is definitely harder.
The enemy's level scaling is fixed; in original the strongest enemy besides Kek was a random Skarmory in Western Cave, and it was only Lv. 55.
Also might be just me but the game feels harder to break in half.
>>45827070Gates is a pretty interesting game.
There's some cool stuff here and there, like move growth system which ended up staying, or some dungeon mechanics that didn't carry over into Super.
The biggest problem is probably lack of content. You don't even have access to all
Unova Pokemon.
>>45820529Killed friend areas but got the storybook artstyle.
A soul for a soul.
