Neva!!

I'll have to pry them from my cold, dead body!

I'd like Pokemón to have an optional "dynamic difficulty" of sorts. It kind of sucks that if you only use your starter pokemon (or any other decent pokemon for that matter) all the time than you can easily beat just about every battle with this single pokemon, even with some attack-only move-set.

It's so easy it does becomes a bit mind-numbing after a few playtroughs.

playing with the same pokemon gets very boring, and maybe makes it harder sometimes at the elite four, due to pokemon types

Nah, your pokemon is so overpowered when you reach elite four it's easy to beat them. And that's my point, even using almost no tatic whatsoever and being type out-matched, the battles are still really easy. So I can't bring myself to actually make a team to beat the game, as it's so much overkill, and it actually takes longer for all the extra training, and that's why I'd like the game to get harder if you're having too much a an easy time, so it would actually be compelling to do that, making the "main" game more interesting and unique (since you'd have to come up with different teams each time) but still easy for that other crowd.

People who play pokemon by themselves are weird.

The last time I played Pokemon (not too long ago), I had two friends I battled every week and one of them I battled after every gym. If I hadn't had friends playing with me then I probably wouldn't have even bothered finishing.

Try saying that when you have 16 badges, Red is so overpowered he'll crush you easily. I was unable to defeat Red with a lvl 80 typhlosion and a lvl 70 lugia when I just got the 16th badge. If you still think that the main game is still too easy despite that, try trashing it out in the Battle Frontier.

If your bored of the game because you its your 4th playthrough. Than I feel sorry for you when the 5 the generation comes out

It helps when you take it slow, and are still grinding for Jasmine (damn her outlier Steelix. Her Steelix is stronger than anything Pryce has. Wtf?)

My question is actually whether i can get this game completely done before Galaxy 2, especially since i'll halve my playtime after i pick up Monster Hunter 3

I'll give you battle frontier, but that's the very end-game, it's still away too easy for 99% of of the time until you get there, so it could, in my opinion, be a lot more interesting if it could get more difficult along the way.

I'm a Pokemon freak but honestly, I've only played:

Blue, Gold, Crystal, Ruby, LeafGreen, Diamond, and SoulSilver.

I don't buy everyone that comes out and play them beginning to end.

I couldn't even tell you anything I did in Ruby or Diamond because the Pokemon were so unmemorable.
