Black and White looked pretty good in the design department, I wonder why they didn't settle for that art style.

The main male character in the first Black/White is easily one of the best designed main male characters of the series imo

Probably wanted to make the games more appealing for younger audiences? I'm not sure. Your guess is as good as mine. 

It's not like Pokemon isn't already appealing to younger audiences already :P

Exactly! I was really bummed out they pretty much removed him from existence in BW2, I was so excited to have a GSC Red battle style again ):

I remember having to grind before battling the E4 in Johto because Lance's pokemon are near level 50 while you usually are lv 41-44 before battling the E4 (and it doesn't help that there aren't any trainers in the Victory Road to level up more easily), also beating Clair's Kingdra can be a real pain and in D/P/Pt, Cynthia is difficult to beat because her team is very well balanced and I've heard her pokemon had 31 IV's in all the stats :O (and in D/P's case she's really over-leveled)

The thing is I actually wholesomely agree with you, but the problem is that Nintendo is marketing to your younger self that feel in love with the series.

Formula in essence has stayed generally the same.

I respect your opinions but, I feel X and Y was the best Pokemon since Gold&Silver

Cynthia is hard because crits.

First time I tried to face her my only Pokémon capable of withstanding some hits was Dialga...
So whenenever it was knocked out I just switched to something else and revived it. Thing is, everytime I switched Dialga back in, it was instantly knocked out by a Critical Hit from that Lucario. This happened SIX times in a row - naturally, I was beaten.

Seriously though, if there's something I hate about gens 2 and 4 is how extremely unfair the level curve is. These games essentially force you to grind for countless hours with low level wild Pokémon to get anywhere near Elite 4 levels. This isn't real difficulty for me. Gen 3 was harder because even though it always kept trainers at a close level to yours, they were tough because they had good teams and AI.

Well I don't remember many critic hits when battling Cynthia, just the normal ones, her team is actualy good because it has varied types: Garchomp (Dragon/Ground), Lucario (Fighting/Steel), Togekiss (Normal/Flying), Milotic (Water), Roserade (Grass/Poison), Spiritomb (Dark/Ghost, this combination didn't have weaknesses in 4th gen), in R/S, Steven's team can be destroyed with Blaziken, Wallace's team is more difficult (imo) but having Manectric really helps.

But I can agree that while the pokemon games have never been difficult they weren't THAT easy neither.

I can forgive the cliche "save the world by destroying it" thing and the choppy frame rate, but what really bugged me was that there was no explanation for what Mewtwo was doing in Kalos. Everything else was pretty well done though. Good game.




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

I find it funny how you complain about XY's difficulty, when Pokemon games were always piss-poor easy! Not even RSE, the hardest main Pokemon games, were difficult or annoying!
