Faggot.

This franchise has been around for a quarter of a century now. It's demographic hasn't been mostly kids for years, especially when kids are playing less long form video games and spending more time playing short burst free-to-play tablet games that their favorite youtubers play.

It would absolutely in no way hurt anybody to simplyadd the option of a new difficulty mode,

But then I guess you wouldn't get to squirt your pussy about whatever side of this stupid forced civil war you fall on the opposite side of not getting what they want.

the Kleavor fight doesn't look too easy for a first boss fight, so i can't even imagine how the late game battles will be.

If lv18 Kleavor is that threatening, i have a feeling lv50+ Dialga / Arceus is gonna be quite the challenge.

the game probably will be way too easy but this article is terrible. it just talks about how all of the pokemon have inflated stats compared to the regular games, and goes on to completely speculate based on no evidence that this is because when you catch a pokemon it gains this boost in all of its stats

they should have talked about stuff like psyduck's bubble pretty much taking out kleavors whole HP bar

What about those trailers made the game look easy? Just catching Pokémon is already more difficult due to the fact they can run before you even start the fight, I can’t wait for the piss rage from shiny hunters after spending 15 days looking for a shiny starly only to watch it fuck off in the distance
Or better yet stocking up on a shit load of items to take down the enraged Garchomp only to have it stomp you out before you even get a chance to throw a Pokémon out
Honestly having to actually put effort into catching multiple of one Pokémon and actually working with it to fill the Pokédex is going to be way more fun than quick balling everything and finishing it in 3 days. I’m actually exited for the first time since Black and White.

Making a Pokemon game challenging is harder than it sounds, you'd have to change a lot about how the game is structured. As it is now if you wanted to make a Pokemon game hard you could just make the entire game work like the Battle Tower, with AI that reads your team and adjusts accordingly, and it would be absolute torture. Good, challenging games are challenging in meaningful ways, not just difficult for the sake of difficulty. A JRPG like mainline Pokemon that relies so heavily on stats and levels to determine the results of battles can't just arbitrarily be made "harder".

More ten year olds play Fortnite then pokemon. Fortnite requires more skill and thought then a normal playthrough of a Pokemon game.
I don't even like Fortnite, but Gamefreak's stupid idea that kids can't handle even a slight bit of thinking or challenge is ridiculous. They should already know by now that most of their audience are adults or at least teenagers by now and make the game at least have the option of a harder difficulty.

a lot of modern jrpgs either have difficulty settings outright or allow you to tweak the game in some form to be easier or harder, for example Xenoblade Chronicles 2 lets you store up EXP to give out to your party members at hotels, you can even set how much EXP they gain if you don't want to overlevel. The Disgaea series has a system that lets you freely adjust enemy levels to be higher if you want, and you can change back anytime.
There's more games and more examples but I'm playing XB2 and Disgaea 6 right now, Pokemon also had difficulty settings back in Gen 5.

That's why memes like Whitney's Miltank even exist because most kids who played GSC didn't understand what type advantages were, overleveled their starter only, and didn't talk to any of the NPCs so they missed the guy who trades you a Machop in the same city. The game gives you an easy option and most were completely unaware of it.

You know what I'd actually be down with? A Pokemon Legends that has the regular game as easy as your average Pokemon game, but with postgame difficulty like a Mario game where it ranges from the same/a bit more challenging to balls-ass hard.

But I feel like that would only work in Legends and not the main series. I feel like you could be much more creative with implementing difficulty in Legends whereas in the main series it would be about giving the pokemon movesets closer to the online competitive scene.

It's still a pretty simple battle without it. Miltank has weaker special defense than regular defense so just avoid using physical moves that aren't Fighting. Then it's just a matter of quickness as Rollout takes 5 turns before it reaches it's full power so you need to knock it out before it reaches that point. Using Machop just makes it easier because the Miltank goes down in 1-2 turns.

It baffles me that they choose to think "every kid is autistic and has PTSD" instead of thinking that yes, there are plenty of kids like that, but they're not the majority. I guess it's the old problem of a vocal minority fucking things up for people who stay quiet because they're satisfied with the product. It's even more ridiculous with Pokemon, because it's not like the sales declined for them to suddenly think their core audience's standards changed, then again, since the sales increased after their retarded changes, whether or not it was really because of said changes they will believe that's the case.

In this day and age focusing on certain demographics doesnt make much sense specially in franchises that attract both veterans and newcomers.

I dont know, call me crazy, but may be just add a difficulty setting so everyone can enjoy it. It shouldnt be that difficult put different difficulty levels and may be with a bit of effort some checkboxes at the beginning with some additional gimmick options.
Lot of games have those sort of things. Doesnt seem like lot to ask to me.

Or just play the game as intended and enjoy it because expecting a challenge from this franchise is completely nonsensical and always has been.

An easy way to do so would just be have the postgame trainers eventually have lv100 pokemon so you have to have an insanely strong team or resort to actual cheese tactics. Suddenly an Elite 4 would make less of a shakedown and more of a gauntlet

You also have the battle frontier from Emerald and Platinum, which automatically fixes levels, and implements other challenges to do.
The kids franchise has made games challenging before. Colosseum and SD got double battles and managing shadow Pokémon. Emerald and Platinum had the battlefrontier to bear. BW2 actually had a hard mode.

>le kids
kids are one time costumers, they are not reliable for a business unless they become consooomers, like manchildren are.
how many of your friends still play pokemon since their first game? how many of them even played the game after a month? go to any pokemon related group on fb or discord, you won't find kids there, just adults
the average poster here is above the age of 24, not a child by any metric
the pokemon franchise is marketed to kids, not because its fanbase has the average age of 8, but rather because its fanbase is full of manchildren, and to break the fantasy with any sense of challenge hurts you like poison
you don't want challenging pokemon games because you care about the kids, you simply don't want to be filtered by your own escapism

Some goober on Reddit was complaining about getting filtered by Brawly because "I don't know how to grind"

If you ever wanted to know why EXP share is now forced on you. You can unironically blame Reddit for that one.

The difficulty with Miltank isn't just Rollout.
>If Miltank outspeeds (allmost certain at that point in the game given its 100 base speed) you have to worry about Stomp flinch hax
>If your pokemon is male (and your starter has an 87.5% chance of being male) you have to worry about Attract and losing out on half your turns
>Can restore half of its HP with Milk Drink on top of already being bulky
>Very few pokmeon you can access at that point outright counter it, none of the starters have a particularly good matchup against it with Totodile having the least worst, even if you catch a Gastly you still have to worry about Rollout and possibly Attract if its male
>Miltank in general is just a bigger ball of stats than anything you've encountered so far (with the exception of Bugsy's Scyther which is frailer and has a much shitter moveset)

Miltank is a legitimate challenge for that point in the game, by mainline pokemon standards, and the devs knew it was a challenge, hence offering the player an easy out in the Machop trade and showing Ash getting his ass handed to him by Miltank in the anime
