I mean…the Dynamax Legendary battles might be tough enough as is, considering you apparently can’t even use your Pokémon during them. Going through all that effort only for a Legendary to just poof our before the Ball even shakes once (as you do) would be a bit soul-crushing.
Honestly the capture is the least of the worries. The challenge seems more focused on the battle itself (which it should've always been the case for the whole pokemon franchise in my opinion). As long as the fights are as tough as the Mewtwo raid from a while back (or even harder) then everything will be fine.
what with the limited bag space and the lack of ablities?
Yep I have. Ultra Moon was incredibly easy. Beat it in two weeks flat. I only ever had a couple hickups (Hawlucha being too overleveled, the Totem Mimikyu boss, Totem Togedemaru's Dedenne Ally, and a few other things). It's nowhere near as hard as you're stating, I beat the game with a Ledian on my team. A Ledian. And it was useful. Trainers and bosses were ridiculously easy for the most part, the game was super linear, and so on. Overall, one of the easiest games I've played. And don't get me started on Rainbow Rocket. Thought it was gonna be actually hard, turned out to be as easy as the rest of the game. The leaders were pathetically easy, they were destroyed by the smallest touch. Only issue I had was my Sylveon not KOing Reshiram with Twinkle Tackle because I forgot how typings worked for a moment. Overall, the game was easy, and if what I've heard about XY and ORAS is true, then we haven't had an actually challenging game where you earn things for yourself and explore for yourself since BW2.
youd almost think it was a game series designed to accessible to young children or something
If you've played any game prior to Gen 6 you'll know that they were made for kids and actually challenging. If little 7 year old me could beat Pokemon Diamond and White, I don't see why the little 8 year old's can't just do things themselves either.
Then I guess it just down to different playstyles, cause I still stand by that statement. I'm usually not that interested by having objectively the better pokemon nor having the most diverse type coverage. Heck I decided to start out with like 4 different pokemon, 3 of which were very weak early game. And I switched from like 20 pokemon at all times and was still challenged.
ive lived through and played every gen, challenge level has only changed cause ive improved at playing games
The fact we have to make the game hard by inventing things ourselves means the game is too easy. That's a fact. The only option there still viable in SWSH that Game Freak themselves made is the Set Battle Style.
I think it comes down to the fact that GF don't want to force down a hard game in fear of risking lower sales, as they want to sell to as many people as possible; this is more evident nowadays. And given how people have had these artifitial difficulty rules from a decade ago they might feel no need to give us any significant hard mode or even make the game harder.
thats how its worked for me
Well obviously there's ways to make any game easy.
is it that hard to accept that youve maybe gotten better at them?
Of course I've gotten better at them. What does that have to do with it?
thats why they seem easier
The old Pokemon games are hard, I still have trouble beating them despite my years of experience.
well i cant explain why you find them hard cause as far as i can tell all 8 gens have been as though as theyve ever been
Thank you for making the effort of coming in this thread and sharing this wonderful input.
Thank you for promptly ****ting on every Gen 8 supporter. Keep your thoughts to yourself alright?
Honestly I'm surprised it took this long for a comment like this to show up. Did you also think this for Byleth's inclusion or do you have a personal grudge against Pokemon to the point of feeling the need to talk us down with no evidence or any decency for healthy discussion? I also wasn't aware 1 character from the biggest franchise in the world (still beloved by millions mind you) could ruin what's claimed to be the best smash game of all time. You do know you don't have to buy this character right? And if you blindly bought the fighter's pass it's your fault because they warned you.
The Black Horse looks amazing. I love these shinies as well.
Perhaps seeing them in action could change your mind. We're not really seeing them at their best. For instance I though I'd hate Inteleon based on the low quality leaks and low and behold the opposite was true.
Have we had pokemon events in the past? I can't remember.
