Yep. I've always wanted to play challenge mode, but I'm not erasing my save just to replay with a bit more grinding.

Why this wasn't an option at the beginning of the game is beyond dumb. I'm probably gonna have to get a DS back-up sav card, to make use of this dumb feature.

Maybe if we make the difficulty setting extremely obnoxious to enable, nobody will use it and we can excuse not bothering with it again.

That's so incredibly mind-blowing though. Who actually though putting different difficulties in different version AND locking them behind an entire playthrough was a good idea?
It's like someone was actively trying to ruin the implementation of difficulty options, it's almost funny

Poorly implemented difficulty settings is still difficulty settings, retard. I never said it was done properly, but that asshole is trying to argue that difficulty settings and multiplayer can't coexist in the same game even tho B2W2 just did that.

Erasing your save relocks it. To play Easy or Challenge from the start, you need to connect with a friend's completed save (on the correct version).

They are. Play the battle subway/maison/tree instead of being a retard who only plays against the retarded campaign NPCs who don't even have a full team and let you spam healing items infinitely.

Yeah... we know. That's why people ask for it to be a bit harder.
Personally I play difficulty romhacks or nuzlockes or some shit anyway so it doesn't bother me at all, but I can see why someone playing the main games through for the first time would be disappointed.

>b-but just play multiplayer
Why though? A lot of people prefer single-player games to multiplayer

I think they really believed that everybody has 5-10 friends who they see often and who also own the game. Funfest missions are another example of this. They're explicitly designed for playing with multiple friends via local wireless. You can have up to 100 players doing a mission at the same time. Who the fuck ever did anything near that outside of game freak hq?

And it can be made harder as soon as you stop obsessing over the fundamentally shit NPCs and focus on the parts of the game already there that are hard.

That's not what 'fundamentally' means anon. If plenty of ROMhacks succeed in making Pokemon games more challenging, then the easy gameplay must be the fault of Gamefreak, not the game itself.

>Why the fuck are you playing Pokemon then?
Because it's a single-player game?

Yeah, maybe by turning it into a completely different game.

80% of people also aren't stupid enough to bitch about how easy the NPCs are.

That is what they always think, but usually the reasoning is 'they'll buy it anyway, so we don't have to put in more effort than this'

the Key System is them putting in effort to actively make a game more difficult to play.

Because I don't like them?
I like the progression-based nature of the main quest, I like exploring new areas, catching new Pokemon and watching my team grow. And I'd like that aspect of the game to have more difficulty to it - so I play hacks that add that.

Battle facilities and multiplayer are an entirely different type of gameplay. Instead of progression and advancement, it's just grinding out battle after battle after battle. It doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

Does that answer your question?
