>>48272479Yea I mean like I said, it’s not exactly easier than other Pokémon games but that’s hardly much of a metric. Personally I had a harder time with both gen 2 and 3 but that’s exclusively because those games make you go into fights underleveled compared to games like BW, so I found there was a greater focus on making up that difference with strategy. If you just grind to catch up in levels the games become way easier because the AI is dumber, the move sets aren’t as good, and you have the badge boost and EVs while bosses don’t, gen 2 suffers from this in particular gen 3 less so but still. But even so, it’s not like your own move sets are much better in those games either. Basically what I’m saying is there’s a LOT of factors in difficulty so just looking at move sets on bulbapedo or something won’t give you a good perspective, rn I’m just going off of my own experience playing each of these games but even that gives me a sub par view cause there’s lots of other factors, like someone’s team, and they’re style of play.
TLDR, this is a dumb argument because really there’s no way to definitively prove it one way or another and neither of us are gonna have our minds changed by some dude on 4chan
