Was this the first challenging Pokemon game?
No, Stadium was.
Mystery dungeon was
>>59059418Yes, it was challenging not to stop playing due to how shit it was
>>59059418Just grind at the battle chateau retard
>>59059418No, but it's the first Pokemon game to be an objective downgrade from everything that came before.
>>59059418the kalosperm anon has finally lost his mind
The challenge is trying not to cum when Drasna is on screen
>>59059418no that was the first pokemon game a chimp could beat if you fed it peanuts to positively reinforce it to keep playing
>>59060165that’s gen 5
>>59059423Same, my nigga
>>59059418Kek no
>>59059423The only challenging thing about Stadium, assuming you're using rentals, is that Lv. 20 KAZAMISH.
Nah Ranger was
>>59059418I regret not playing Y instead of X.I like Seviper, Throh, Dragalge, and Yveltal more than Zangooze, Sawk, Clawitzer, and Xerneas...
>>59059418Opposite day isn't today OP
>>59059418What's challenging about it? Pokemon is pretty easy but XY is brain dead even for pokemon standards. You can easily have a broken team by the 1st gym
>>59059418Yes, I couldn't finish it.
>>59059418You’re one generation too early.
>>59060253>Likes Y's box art and its version exclusives more than X's>Buys X anywayBruh you literally asked for it.
It was very hard to not fall asleep
>>59059429tpbp
>>59059418all mainline stories are easy as shit, so the only valid metric is by battle facilities in which case the answer is no
>>59059658I've never managed to do this
>>59059418No. It was, in fact, easier than every game before it.
>>59059418Red and Blue
Red and Blue are challenging because of the terrible bugs and early combat system. Shit like wrap + poison can wreck your team while you watch helplessly.Hoenn had plenty of challenging content in battle tower and later the coveted battle island that platinum copies. Gen 5 has some of the best postgame content, especially in BW 2 where trainers after the E four had some well-composed teams.XY was trash and has zero challenge. Only goes down hill from there. Gen 7? One necrozma fight if you bothered to by the objectively worse second version of the game. Gen 8? Welcome to mandatory exp share and the most handholding since the teachy TV. Honestly I don't know who is still buying and playing these games for the gameplay
>>59060848red and blue are fucking braindead. every bullshit strategy the ai can use against you is something you can also use against the ai.
>>59060848>Gen 5 has some of the best postgame content,Got too greedy with your bait.
Definitely a "one post by this ID" kind of thread.
>>59060903Anon, if you go into any game with the 20+ years of experience most people have its easy, but I'm trying to be objective.
>>59060919Having an Elite 4 rematch team in the first version is unfortunately uncommon, that already puts it a step up above the competition on a generational scale.
>>59060928Kind of needed them because Unova's dex was super suffocating for the 4 of them that it was the first game to cut their teams down to 4/5 instead of 5/5 to avoid Hoenn and Sinnoh's shitter E4s
>>59060928>y-y-you get to click A 5 times against the elite four again!You got too greedy with your bait, chronotriggertard.
>>59059418Challenging? Isn't this the gen that introduced the baby ass EXP share that gives everyone in your party max xp?
>>59061529It’s optional so that means it makes it more challenging according to the cope I’m seeing in the thread about gen 5 giving free healing
