The way this board fellates difficulty in games is honestly pretty embarrassing. Its like people who won't shut up about how much they love hot sauce. Adding difficulty does not automatically make a game better, it's just another tool to be used when appropriate.

adding difficulty to pokemon always makes it better, because baseline pokemon difficulty is literally press A to win and you don't have to engage with any of the game mechanics or strategies.
you don't have to go kaizo-tier or even to the level of radical reddit, just a small difficulty bump makes the game miles better.

People find the games too easy and also want better gameplay out of them. I'd prioritize better gameplay over difficulty.

Honestly I can agree with this. Another problem is that in conversations about this topic, "difficulty" is never defined properly. It can mean different things in different parts of the game.

"Difficulty" in combat could mean smarter AI, higher levels on enemies, less EXP given per fight, etc. Out of combat, "difficulty" could refer to complexity of puzzles, encounter rates, how hard it is to find something, limits on resources, etc.
I think when anons are referring to a lack of difficulty, they moreso refer to the latter

Because this >>51560998. Pokemon is literally baby mode and you don't need to actually engage with the game to win it. How is making the game difficult enough to get the players to think about strategy a bad thing?

Because who plays Pokemon for the difficulty?
The world? Sure. The Pokemon themselves? That's a given. The characters and plot? Debatable, but fine. The freeform gameplay? Yeah.
The difficulty? It's a children's game. What the fuck do you expect? And it is appropriately difficult for children who don't know the type chart, every Pokemon's info off by heart, and every mechanic in the game intimately. Difficulty isn't quality.

Pokemon fans don't care about difficulty, they care about """""difficulty""""", where they can pretend the game is harder but it's still impossible to actually lose.

See, if you think the gameplay of Pokemon is good, specifically the battling, it should be able to handle more than being a game for babies.
You don't need all the small stuff that's in the games, or even the larger stuff to satisfy children, so why are they there?
There's potential to make games not aimed at children.

Why? The gameplay is good because you can freely build your team however you want. Most RPGs don't have as much choice as Pokemon gives. If you want it to 'not be a game for babies' then you can also personally adjust the difficulty yourself. Try fighting Misty with Fire and Rock Pokemon or something.
>so why are they there?
You could ask this of anything in the games. Why have 18 types? Why have Fire-Water-Grass starters? Because they had the idea and chose to put it in. They didn't need to try and make the games 'difficult' for a tiny audience.
