At the start of the game you get to choose between:>Game journaistEven easier than the modern games.>CasualAbout the difficulty of the modern games.>EasyAbout the difficulty of the old games.>HardStill rather chill but there is an actual challenge and it's not trivial. Normal JRPG level. Some enemies scale up if you overlevel.>Very hardGame is actually challenging.>NightmareHardcore kaizo difficulty hack level.>MasochistUnbeatable unless you have fully mastered the game mechanics.
>>59290073Hard should be the hardest difficulty you suggested. Pokemon is not meant for max difficulty, it stops being fun really fast when it is.
>>59290087This, generally you can use any mon in your teams because the games don’t ask for much, the second you start min maxing teams is the second the fun dies
>>59290099I min max my teams for casual play throughs and still have fun. Maybe you’re just retarded
>"no, I can't be the autistic one, it's all YOU11"Th8is is why mental defectives shouldn't try and understand the regular world.
just give people new game plus with hard mode where everyone runs regional gimmick and have teams made of battle tower cheating
>>59290117(You)
>just make gaem hard lol!explain what makes a pokemon game "difficult"
>ignoring the series is developed chiefly for retard tier children>actually thinking she's legitimate enough of a demographic for Game Freak to actually give a flying fuck for herAs I keep telling you spergy cunts, Game Freak are more likely to start releasing blatant poképhilia games at the furry masses they grew with their series, than start giving a shit some 20-something casualty of life wants the games to behave like the games seeking adult audiences she also plays. They don't *need* to add anything some faggot posting here wants, they're not critical, required or even necessary for Pokémon's continued success.
>>59290207Then make the sex game.I will probably not play it because I am squeamish, but at least it would be hilarious.
>>59290221Why? They're doing grand as it is. I used that analogy to show an example, they'll literally do ANYTHING else other than make gaems hard fur adultz like you want. Fucking Tajhiri codefied that one and despite Masuda and Sugi fucking off, Tajiri's still running the show and still making decisions regarding the series direction. And he won't let any cunt make it any harder, because he himself had to tell Mario Club to stop asking for the game to be made harder to please the Mario Club adults playtesters.
I played a hard mode Final Fantasy Tactics hack before, where the AI plays like a human could and it was miserable because they spammed the ever living fuck out of items and stall out battles as long as possible. I'm imagining a pokemon game where they're all using competent teams, actively switching, have Held items, AND spam Full Restores... fuck that.
>>59290271I played pokemon luminescent platinum where they did that and it was one of the most fun’s I’ve ever had in a pokemans game
>>59290112whenever min max and find it boring because I just made an already easy game even easier.
>>59290271Just remove, or at least limit, full restore spam.
>>59290188Well none of the official games really do it but I think having bosses scale slightly if you're overleveled, more held items, stronger Pokémon late game, all gyms having at least 4 Pokémon, actually utilizing the game's gimmick properly. EVs that steadily increase as the game progresses, smarter AI.
>>59290188Good enemy teams that employ proper strategies forcing you to change up what works instead of just relying on the same one or two tricks. Every major fight should be a puzzle that can be overcome either through hard work or simply by building a team strong enough to handle most challenges.
>>59290309The AI is a crying shame. I’m not saying they have to put fucking ChatGPT in it but at least have like the gym leaders and boss fights not use fucking growl and mean look.
On hard and above, all gym leaders, evil team admins and top 4 and champions past the third or fourth gym will have 6 Pokémon with no exceptions.
They should have a rule that you cain’t use potions and shit in battle and for like gyms and shit you can only use as much pokemans as the other guy uses
>>59290337what is stopping you from doing this already?
>>59290309just play battle tower/maison/tree
>>59290361I do but they should force you so it’s more official
>>59290271>t. filtered by actual difficulty in games
>>59290099>>59290087So play on that difficulty instead of the highest one, and then the higher difficulty remains for people who want something more.The only reason you could argue against optional higher difficulty is because you have an ego issue that compels you to only play the highest difficulty instead of using settings that will let you have fun. That's a personal problem you should deal with.
>>59290324>I’m not saying they have to put fucking ChatGPTlmao have you seen chatbots attempting to beat pokemon? that'd be a downgrade over current ai
>>59290321>puzzlefuck that, if I have to rube goldberg your fucking boss fight, it isnt a fight anymore. i'll accept maneuvering shit around so that i can comfortably set up my beatstick, but if im stuck playing an escape room, is it even really pokemon anymore
>>59290271people forget that the random npc trainers you see on routes and in caves are supposed to be obstacles at best, not constant life or death battles that force you to use 100% of your competitive knowledge at every turnsometimes the aroma lady just has 2 roselia
Id make Normal and Hard mode.Hard mode is the exact same as Normal except your rival appears in 30 different ambush locations instead of 7 across the gameThere is one other difference. In Hard mode the champion has an identical twin and you fight them both back-to-back, no out of battle healing, full teams of six. His twin is 100% canon and shows up in Normal mode’s storyline, but only fights you in Hard mode.
>>59290522or, crazy idea here: you can add restrictions yourself
>>59290961what is it with the /vp/ desire to want Gamefreak to not add features? You go "it's not necessary, therefore don't" despite the fact that every game is chock full of pointless and unnecessary features just for the fun of it
>>59290607Worst part is when they throw in randomfuck top tier competitive mons instead of giving them mons that fit their personalities or classes well, like, no Patrick, little timmy on route 13 isnt gonna have 4 minmaxxed pseudo legendaries with perfect IVs
>Sifyro Somebody tell her that voreshit still counts as erotic content.
>>59290415Or... you play your way and let us play our way.Stop sperging out when someone plays differently than you. GF just needs to add in a Hard Mode for these players already.
Why do shitters complain about this idea when you could still play on game journalist and are not forced to pick hard or above.
>>59290073RPGs already come with a built-in difficulty slider. They're called levels. Want a challenge? Fight the boss while you're at a lower level. Need things to be easier? Grind a bit until you're at a higher level.
>>59292840>You need to cripple yourself to make the game harder.What if I don't want to play like an idiot crippling himself but still have a challenge?
>>59290536That's fine. Like I said, creating just one REALLY good team should be enough.
>>59292840>They're called levelsSo basically >If you want the game to be hard don't explore
>>59290073Why not just Easy Normal Hard? You're overcomplicating it
>>59290073Masochist should be legitimately unbeatable. People who choose that difficulty just want difficulty porn, they don't want to actually play a game.
>>59291497In Asia, if your employer's product isn't considered perfect, that's a personal attack against you
>>59290073It would be better to just add a bunch of configuration options.>Switch/Set>Singles/Doubles>Exp slider from x0 to x20>Exp All On/Of>Items allowed in battle>Battle gimmicks allowed in battle>Team Preview>Flat Battle/Regular BattleIn a flat battle the enemies always have three Pokemon in Singles and four in Doubles. All Pokemon are set to 50 and there's team preview. No exp is given out by the battle but the reward for winning is exp candy (that way exp can be given out equally, even to Pokemon that didn't survive the battle). Basically if Flat is selected all battles become Battle Tower battles.
>>59290271So turn it off when you don't want to deal with it and turn it on when you do.
>>59292840The problem with Pokemon is you et experience for doing nothing. If they made it so nothing gave exp directly and only gave exp candies you could divvy out that would work.
>>59292840This only works if you can dodge the attacks dark souls-style or m&l-style, otherwise you're forced to grind a bit or else you'll get oneshot a lot
>>59290073Something like this can workEasy : basicly normal mode but AI is much less likely to choose SE moves, made for journalists and "gamer" dadsNormal : usual difficulty for vanilla pokemon playersHard : bosses gains EV and AI mostly chooses SE moves if possible. Gym leaders has 4 mons minimum and goes to full 6 starting from 7thPoke Champion : introduces level cap up to next gym leader ace mon level, bosses uses held items same as good as what players can get at that point so no 2nd gym leader throwing a mon with assault vestYou can switch difficulty anytime but you can only choose Champion difficulty before starting the game
