Or is it just e-celebs and their fans being shit at the game and getting stomped by any boss team that isn't pants-on-head retarded?

I think it is eCelebs and shills. I played the game by swapping my Pokemon team often once they are fully evolved so I can quickly fill up the PokeDex, so I was often underleveled. By the time I went to Cythia I had a level 50 team which had repeating types that were not very good against the elite four. But I still beat it anyway.

They just say that because the postgame Gym Leaders rematches have full EVs and shit, the main campaign is still piss easy, Cynthia is the only NPC that could give you some problems because they went full smogon with her team

The gyms are slightly above average but trolls are exaggerating it to make bait and call the game harder than whatever they want to look bad that day.

the elite four has EV trained teams, decent items and passable coverage despite being largely a single type. I did white out once to cynthia because i underestimated her and didn't think her garchomp would be packing the berry that weakens ice moves.

It's nothing super hard, but I think it's a step in the right direction. Difficulty modes would be best, but considering how you needed to wait until post-game to play either hard mode or easy mode in black and white and then transfer that to B/W 2 I don't think they'll ever seriously consider that. also iirc challenge mode in black was a joke since higher wild pokemon levels just meant you leveled up faster.

Only Flint and Cynthia (the first time). Flint uses a degenerate baton pass minimize dtrategy that caused me to be unable to kill his last 3 mons and Cynthia in general is hard due to her strong EV trained mons. You won't ever lose to any trainers other than possibly these two the very first time you fight them.

This game is actually easier than diamond and pearl.

The mechanic of friendship between your Pokémon in this game cause your Pokémon, to:
Dodge more attacks
Randomly expel any status affect
And give a focus sash effect

I beat cynthia at 1 hp because my milotic actually had the focus sash effect twice in a row.
In normal gen 4 I would’ve been turbo fucked

It's not too bad, but you can feel how weak your trash IV and random EV PKMN are compared to the E4 and postgame stuff.

It's only a challenge if you are using shitmons and are using mods to disable the exp share and affection benefits.
I used an Unown for about half the game.

I used bitter herbs and roots and shit and managed to stave off all the bonus stuff when I was at E4. I only had my starter trying to do it but one bitter max revive and that was soon sorted. It just happened naturally and I had everyone follow me during the game too

It happens when you force the Exp Share without balancing anything else and tie affection to friendship lol

>>49193757
No, that sounds like a ridiculous work-around for a very poor mechanic

That's what I thought until I was just replacing any use of potions or revives with those herb replacements. Honestly it was seamless and I never got the boosts because of that.

Regardless of how you feel about this OP asked if the game was challenging which it isn't, I could also try soloing the game with an unevolved starter and it would no doubt be hard, but that doesn't make the game hard under normal circumstances. I'm also watching someone nuzlocking the game while using herbs and they are nowhere near strong enough to nullify friendship completely.
