EXP Share makes the game better and more balanced by encouraging you to use more than just one 'mon

>That feel when realizing that using just one 'mon with no EXP share makes your Pokemon unreasonably strong and breaks the intended level curve

You have a point, playing through older games made me appreciate the new Exp share more. With old games there's no fucking point using other Pokemon when you can just dump all your exp into one broken Pokemon that can unga bunga everything instead.

Even all these years and playing dozens of other RPGs it always fascinates me how pokemon is like the only series where a solo run is easier than just playing the game normally.

Not a full series, but I think FE8 is easier when soloing too.

Strictly solo Seth requires some autism to pull off, but Seth + 2 or 3 other prepromotes like Duessel is easy life.

Well, the difficulty is balanced to the way it was intended to be played

yes, it's a monster collecting game. You can't select the difficulty, but only going with the starter is considered the easy mode.

Oh OP
Pokémon was Always a Casualised, Brain-dead easy RPG for toddlers
granted the battle engine has the potential to make the game significantly harder but once you know everything about it, the games becomes even way easier than it was when you first played pokémon

Thats his point.
The game is piss easy if you dont go out of your way to make it harder.

I am collecting monsters though. Not sure how that stops me from dumping exp into one or two pokemon.

Most Fire Emblem games are easy to solo once the person your using gets a enough levels. Espically id you RNG abuse.

okay I'll reply the bait thread
Whoever says the older gens are harder is just a moron. Gen 1 and 2 are a joke when it comes to difficulty. Gen 3 is harder but still very easy.
The first real difficult fight in the franchise is Cynthia in DP.
Gen 5 is the first gen you can argue that is decent on the difficulty party.
Imo, the only gen that you can argue its hard is 7 where all important trainers have pokemons with near perfect IVs and are EV trained, but even in those games you can keep the exp share on the whole time and make it easier.
The meme of older gens are harder is just because gen6 and 8 are EXTREMELY easy.

So in other words the older Gens are harder.

Gen 7 by far is the one where they put the most effort into actually balancing the campaign. Having actual bosses that put the player at a disadvantage with stat boosts and 2v1 is significantly better than just throwing a bunch of piss easy 1v1 fights where NPCs use Pokemon that are even weaker than the player's. Along with the exp share and curve that makes it so you can't cheese the game as easily using only 1-3 Pokemon.

>>46558119
Outside of Gen 7 they're all just as easy. The only difference is that in gen 5 I'm sweeping NPCs with a Pokemon that's 3 levels overleveled while in gen 6 I'm sweeping NPCs with a Pokemon that's 8 levels overleveled.

you could argue that he is harder than everything else that had appeared on the franchise until gen 3, but still average at best. Can be easily dealt with a fast electric or grass type.
>>46558119
the way I phrase it made me look like I said gen6 and 8 are easier than the older ones, but they are still harder when compared to gen 1, specially RB.
>>46558144
yeah, I forgot to mention but some totem fights are extremely tough, specially the first time you play gen 7. Fuck totem Lurantis
