How do you feel about the difficulty in Pokémon games?

I'm happy with the current level of difficulty personally. That being said, I don't see why Gamefreak hasn't implemented multiple difficulty settings yet, after all the complaints they've received about it being too easy. It's really not that hard to make easy, normal, and hard settings, just increase the levels of the enemy Pokemon you encounter at any given point in the game based on which setting you pick, would take barely any effort at all. And it wouldn't take that much extra effort to improve enemy AI a bit on the higher difficulty settings, if they were so inclined. 

This is the lazy half assed way. It doesn't have to be increased increase, like chaging enemy trainer Pokemon move sets to give idea that the trainer has damn sense would be cool. Making enemy Pokemon more agressive about targeting weaknesses.

  Look at Pokemon Staduim!  It could get pretty tough because enemy Pokemon were agressive abusive your weakness if they the ability too.

I'd like to second this, I would like to see trainers have better tactics and strategies too. I thought S/M was a good step in that direction, there were a few battles that I had a lot of fun against because it felt like the computer was trying to beat me instead of choosing random moves.
