I found FRLG one of the most player-friendly games here. Difficulty is not overly hard but is not piss-easy and VS seeker with places like Nugget Bridge and routes around Fuschia let you grind new team members very easily.
It's not perfect game - GF was trying to hard to play it safe and stay faithful to originals. But for sure it's one of the easiest Pokemon games to get into. It has even that actually phenomenal interactive help system.

I wish Erika wasn't so piss easy, and that I could use bros like crobat or espeon, but other than that FRLG is super solid. Always feels like I can try new stuff when making a team.

every game in the series except USUM and PLA have the same level of braindead difficulty so I have no clue what you're talking about.

Because it's one of the easiest games and you're a pansy.

Ehhh...
Honestly i find discussion about "difficulty" in jrpgs extremely pointless - it's to fluid and depends on your playstyle, choice of Pokemon and how much grinding you are willing to do.
"It's too easy" and "It's too hard" are both retarded answers and both are wrong and right, depending on who you ask.

Oh please, let me guess, your idea of difficulty isn't the gym battles but a single ebin superboss in post game? or is your answer USUM because of Totem Marowak and Ultra Necrozma? Spikes of difficulty in an overall easy game do not equate to the game being hard, it's just blips.
The levels of battles actually push pretty far ahead of you in FRLG (particularly the rival battles, gym battles, and rocket admins) hence why they have a more difficult curve.
>but pokemon games are easy
no shit, all pokemon games are easy because they are made with kids in mind, I'm comparing this game to other entries in the series

It really is a great game.
Only issue is not being able to evolve things like Crobat, Blissey or even trade eggs until post-game.
I get why they did it but it really fucks me up the wall because I like to trade over an egg of something not found in the region in place of my starter in subsequent playthroughs.
They'd probably be my favourite mainline games overall if I could just do this.

You know there's no spike if you actually fight the trainers right.

untrue in the case of FRLG, and I'm assuming that's what you're referring to. for instance, the first rival battle is against two level 9s in an area of level 3 Pokemon. second rival battle has pokemon near level 20 and you likely won't have anything at that level yet unless you have been grinding one pokemon only. Not to mention, trainers actually switch out their pokemon in this game from time to time, something far more uncommon in later releases as the AI has been dumbed down save for "special" trainers and battle facilities.

It's very much true.

Which your starter should be either above or at most one level below.

why would your starter be at that level unless you already entered viridian forest and came back(without switching pokemon, by the way)? did you actually play the game?
from what you're telling me, as soon as you got into the first patch of grass you grinded on rattatas and Pidgeys to level 10. and even if you did, you are still going up against two pokemon (one of which being Pidgey, so if you picked Bulbasaur you're probably going to get shit on).

No.
The fight is there to gatekeep you out of going further and devs were having 4 scenarios for it:
- You stumble upon this fight by chance, get your ass handed to you and never come back because funfact - this is fully optional fight!
- You stumble upon this fight by chance, get your ass handed to you and come back after getting better.
- You never explore that part of the map and nothing happens.
- You know beforehand about it and prepare, in this case you can just unga bunga Gary with your starter and bunch of shitmons because he has Pidgey and his starter, both on level 9.

Damn, challenges in a turn based RPG are inherently easier when you know they're coming and can prepare for them? Who would have guessed. Unironically though this is why it's hard to go back and gauge how hard the games really were as a kid; I've been there and done it before so I know what to expect.

> Wow, i cannot beat literally first mid-boss in game on first try, i guess the game must be poorly balanced.

Are kids nowadays really think like that?
Yes - this fight is fucking easy if you know about it. But even without knowing about it you should have decent chance to beat it with your starter, few shitmons (you can get some first early game powerhouses in gras literally few steps before this fight!) and potion or two. Also Pokemon series as a whole never put some huge penalties for losing - you get your ass kicked, you lose few pokebucks, you learn from it and either go back stronger or move forward.

This fight is probably one of the best designed gaming experiences in entire history of games because either you curbstomb it and forget about it existence, lose and LEARN about general game mechanics or never experience it at all. It's win-win-win scenario.

I hate to break it to you anon, but yes, kids really think like that. Having to try more than once means the game is poorly balanced nowadays don't you know.

i consider that playstyle super cheesy and not very fun, but if you like playing over levelling a single pokemon nothing stops you. just know different people and playstyles will increase or decrease difficulty
