>>53869360>if you play double battles instead of singles, but most romhack players don't like to hear thisNot really. In fact, doubles battles are considered easier to break at higher levels because of how effective 2v1ing to leave weak Pokemon out on the field and layered strats become.
Regardless, I do think it's better for the AI to not be unnecessarily strong if it can't actually do anything particularly complex. Especially also for Pokemon, which struggles inherent with how imbalanced combat is in favor of human players.
>but Radagon is definitely easierHard disagree. Radagon has much more aggressive combos, punishes and gapclosers out the ass, more strict timing to avoid his attacks, whereas EB pretty much just has the Aldrich arrows and Elden Stars. He's more consistent and has less annoying mechanics yes, but he's definitely not easier most of the time.
>Malenia is really only 'divisive' because she lifesteals off of the summonsBut as I said, the summons people use anyway (Tiche and Mimic) fuck her. You can fast roll Waterfowl but without understanding the mechanics of the move you'll still die a bunch to it when she tracks behind you on the third swing, which is why it irritates people.
>Point is, difficulty is what drives players to engage with these games and they wouldn't be nearly as fun without themI think it's just a lot less important for Pokemon. I agree that Pokemon could have fights that aren't complete pushovers but I also don't really think it's integral to the experience it's trying to deliver, unlike ER.
But yeah fuck the Godskin faggots.
