>>56402334Every pokemon game is easy if you already know type matchups and how different moves work. From gen 6 onward, exp is given to the whole party, so it's much easier to level and entire team and you will likely overlevel if you plan a team of six ahead of time and use them all consistently. If you want a challenge, you can try nuzlocking, but I think the games are plenty fun if you just rotate your team more. It gives you chances to try out new mons that might surprise you, and prevents overleveling. I like to rotate my whole team every two badges, similar to what some people call an "N run" challenge except I box stuff and don't release it.
