>the games have always been this easy

How did we change so much In 1 year from BW2 to X and Y
>>
>>26863406
Tbf oras did have proper rematches.
>>
Ghetsis Hydreigon in BW1 was actually one of the hardest moments I've had in an in-game pokemon run. I don't understand where this "B-BUT ALL THE GAMES WERE JUST AS EASY AS GEN 6" mentality comes from.

This is her "rematch" you can also pay to up her level and make it harder.

She got the fucking level up movesets

yes she did. even with those she was incredibly easy, no need for OP to lie

Not to mention that gen is when they started only having 4 pokemon.
Gen 5 is when it started to get even more casual.

I am in fact the last two posts you linked, yes. And yes i were here for both.

One single good Pokemon doesn't make the whole team ultra-powerful. Cofagrigus and Hydreigon are the only two dangerous members of his team, hell they're the only ones that received an item in BW2.
But you can't tell me someone using Seismitoad is dangerous for using it.

>>26863859
You can also challenge her at lower level, it's not an official rematch. That's like saying BW2 has gym rematches because you can fight them in the PWT.

Still harder than literally anything in gen 6. And NOBODY got stuck on Lysandre, stop bullshitting.

I think at this point I'm being baited, and I'm too annoyed to see it
>>
Fucks sake I'm sick of this argument. TPP proved that all the games can be beaten with essentially random input. They have never been hard. Every now and then there might be a difficult battle if you don't have the right type matchup but that's it.
>>
>>26864204
Nobody "got stuck" on Ghetsis, and as far as losing to the Hydreigon, for that I'll just use the same line you'll use when I say I lost to the Mega Gyarados. You know the one. Say it

Yes they did newfag. Nobody loses to Gyarados because Lysandre doesn't even have a full fucking team and the player's Pokemon levels are way above him.
>>
>>26864392
I lost to Mega Gyarados
>>
>>26864213
>They have never been hard

The new games are still easier.
>>
>>26864392
Not a newfag, I was here when there were Pokemon Generals on/v/. Makes it a lot easier to undermine an argument when the other person is underage and/or a newfag though, doesn't it? Which doesn't really make a lot of sense. I definitely don't remember anyone going "wow I just can't beat Ghetsis!", especially not here, and that being the case is pretty much impossible if you have the brain capacity to realize how to hit things super effective whilst facing opponent's who aren't allowed to do half the things you are, like switch or use items.
>>
>>26864396
How...

Literally how....

How garbage do you have to be to

Even with no legendary+Exp all, how could anyone lose? What was your team?

where did you end up?
>>
>>26864427
Quick question are you him >>26864396
>>
>>26864427
>"wow I just can't beat Ghetsis!"

Then you didn't lurk hard enough. And being able to beat him doesn't mean that beating him wasn't hard. Perhaps you should get the brain capacity to realize that switching in and using SE moves doesn't matter if it has ridiculous coverage and always moves first.
>>
>>26864434
There it is. that's the response I was looking for. I will just copy and paste it every time someone says they lost to the Hydreigon.
>>
>>26864427
Clearly you weren't here
>>
>>26864461
I was here. I was here until BW2. Nobody was brickwalldd by Ghetsis. In fact this was well before BW was even considered a good game, it was the one that was cool to hate.e
>>
>>26864454
What was your team? Ghetsis was also hard because it came right after N without healing, and you're saying you had a really hard time when you have to reject a legendary against a trainer with 4 pokemon
>>
>>26864476
No it wasn't that was DP, SinnohFetuses have ruined this board.
>>
>>26864125
Sure, the games aren't like Gen 1, but the trainers and their moves are. Lysande's Meinshao and Pyroar don't even have full movesets, and the Gyarados literally has no dark moves.
>>
>>26864340
How many people did they have by the end though? It's obviously going to be easier later on when there's less people inputing commands, trolls aren't interested in impeding progress anymore, and anyone that's still left knows what they're doing.
>>
>>26864496
Yeah, not even GS were that shitty

How does this matter? Why should the game be like that 17 years latter

Epically when you're designed to be under leveled in X and Y
>>
>>26864489
Didn't say I had a '"really hard time". Just that I lost go it once. That isn't a "really hard time". Why does it matter what my team was? I don't remember because I played through BW many times but I seriously never had an issue. I think this was a play through where I used a Scrafty. But You could have had Mienahao or Vanilluxe or many other Pokemon to just beat it. Ita really not hard. also the Pokemon count doesnt matter. Why do people keep bringing it up? It's literally just one more turn cycle, not a difficulty measurement.
>>
>>26864500
How many people would have left between B2 and X?

If anything more people were hyped that they were playing X
>>
>>26864511
Tell me all your team in XY and I'll record myself saying you were right
>>
My team sucked and I still won against Ghetsis on the first try. I have no idea what the movesets were, though. Just that it involved Dragon Tail and making Hydreigon BTFO until I could better deal with it.
>>
>>26864526
I don't remember my levels because I've played through Y several times and I shouldn't have to remember details like that to prove someone on here internet wrong. tell me the team and levels you were brickwalled by Hydreigon with.
>>
>>26864514
Considering XY were still fresh in people's memories, I wouldn't put it past them to just jump off at that point. Plus all that time between the last gym and Iris must've burnt out a lot of people, it was the longest period of time without any actual progress being made as far as I can see on that chart. But my point still stands, until we get some participation numbers, TPP progress isn't necessarily a good indicator.
>>
>>26864526
Wow, an anonymous person on the internet will record themselves saying they were wrong? What a treat
>>
>>26864555
I was never brick walled, but he gave me an insain my hard time

Bearitic - Fire Blast
Krookidile
Leavany -Fire Blast
Embroar - Surf
Stoutland -Focus Blast
Gothitelli -dark pulse (I didn't know it was a dark type)

It was crazy coverage, I was level 48~52 ish
>>
>>26864562
When the progress is the shortest run, that's saying something anon. Just like how HGSS/plat/Emerald are all the next longest too

You can't compare the older games, but how much different is X and Y to BW gameplay wise.
>>
>>26864590
No wait, I learned it was a dark type and I was 2HKO'ed by dragon pulse

>>26864434
>Even with no legendary+Exp all, how could anyone lose?
The same way you can lose to Ghetsis which has a single strong Pokemon.
>>
>>26864222
>Nobody "got stuck" on Ghetsis
If you were here for the Gen5 days, then you would know that people raged hard over Gaycheese's Hydreigon. It was incredibly memorable because it was fast, evolved despite being underleveled, and had great coverage. People got fucked over by that thing to the point that you could ask anyone who played Gen 5 games what they thought of Ghetsis and they'd tell you that his Hydreigon was a cunt.


>>26864396
How fucking terrible are you at the game to lose to Mega Gyrados? Were you running a team of 6x Golem? Are you that terrible at the game that you couldn't beat a giant floating turd?

>>26864427
I call bullshit. People bitched about Ghetsis' Hydreigon and after the initial release people talked about how powerful Alder's Volcarona was.

>>26864476
>nobody was brickwalled by Ghetsis
Fucking false. I myself was brickwalled by Ghetsis and the only reason I defeated him was because my Zekrom managed to paralyze it with dragonbreath before dying on my fifth battle against him. He outsped everything I had.

>>26864544
See, that's using strategy and having got gud.

>>
>>26863406
I wouldn't consider Archeops, Druddigon and Lapras Pokemon considering they get easily fucked by common ingame Pokemon, even by OHKO.

I'm also pretty sure nobody bothered to replay BW2 to get the Hard Mode run or even complete its post-game.

I do agree that Gen 6 got very easier for some unjustified reason. Diantha was meh as much as the league (the league was equally shit in Gen 5 but at least they got 6 Pokemon), ORAS league rematch also had more Pokemon but they were a bit retarded moveset wise and the megas didn't even abuse their signature abilities.

And fuck Steven Stone's rematch team, literally a downgrade and weaker than its standard team in RS and rematch in Emerald.
>>
>>26864727

What other games have you played since then?
>>
More like Ghetsis' Hydreigon was the only Pokémon that "smash the dance button plant" Lilligant and "press blitz orangutan" Darmanitan weren't able to easily remove.
However Lilligant was still able to set up on his stall Cofagrigus lead, Ghetsis BW2 team was less powerful and for some reason Hydreigon went full physical, why would they nerf it when BW2 didn't lock you into using Unova shitmons and had tons of other options avaible to use including early game Volcarona.

N's team was E4 / Veteran tier team excluding the mediocre legendary.
>>
>>26864759
He was doing you a favor.
>>
>>26864695
He obviously wasn't here for Gen 5 and he certainly didn't play BW.

>>26864709
My team was underleveled and I was running a mostly slow team. Hydreigon outsped my team and managed to hit it pretty hard with its great coverage. Considering I had no idea what to expect first time I went against it, it took me by surprise and I had to adapt in future encounters for it.

Ok, did BW/BW2 have the best trainer themes?

Like elite 4/Iris/ghetsis/Hugh/Colress/N?

If anything I'll leave you he is an intersting character and has a cool team and wish Platinum gave a simialar themed team to Charon, but you see he can't really touch Excadrill or other free shit you get before him.

So you just used Scrafty.

Ok. So your shitmon team didn't do anything for that battle, you just used Scrafty. Get the fuck out of here you little nigger, your entire argument was based on you somehow finding a way to win and the rest of us being shit and that because you lost to Mega fucking Gyrados but you used the one pokemon that steamrolls Ghetsis, you are the undeniable expert on what is easy and what is hard.
The entire part of the comparison was to show how fucking horseshit easy Gen 6 was in comparison to Gen 5 and how it was a step in the wrong direction, and your entire argument against that, sits on the crux of you using the perfect mon for that specific boss battle, despite the fact that you made it out to seem that the rest of us were shitters for not gitting gud, when you weren't any better.

Just, sit your candy ass down.

Diantha a shit and has no right being a Champion. Iris was better written AND designed, even if she looked like a silly magical girl.

Just because the old games aren't super challenging doesn't mean that the new games aren't even less challenging than the one's that came before, to the point that it's difficult to stay awake playing them.

Who the fuck are you talking about? I didn't lose to Mega Gyarados. I also didn't lose to Ghetsis because I'm not an idiot.

Even so it was a total accident. I'd dint pick it just so I could post years later that I'm better at Pokemon than a dumbass who gets literally stonewalled by an NPC in a Pokemon game.

I'll give you designed but that character is a fucking mary sue through and through. No one likes the child prodigy trope.

>>26864913
I got bored with ORAS and couldn't find the motivation to do the Delta Episode. I mean, what's the point?
>>
>>26864923
Thank you for the valuable reply to a conversation point.

>>26864935
While nobody with any taste in media likes child prodigy tropes, it's better than whatever trope you would call Diantha. The "Doesn't care either way what her role is" trope? The "Doing it just because" trope? At least Iris has some development, as little as it is.
>>
>>26864935
Then why do you play this game? It's all about being a child prodigy and everyone but you being dumber than a rock.

>>26864935
Blue was a gary stu and a child prodigy.

>>
>>26863730
How is Wally vs Iris more accurate? Wally is by far the strongest trainer in ORAS, and, unless my memory is horrible, Iris is not. It's either N or Benga or Colress or somebody along those lines.
>>
>>26864993
I'm not him, but most ground/fighting types lose to his behyem
>>
>>26865008
Uh... No. You don't lose to the Beheeyem just because it has a grass type move on it. That's not how it works. Especially not with Beheeyem.
>>
>>26865024
>type coverage doesn't take care of other Pokemon

?
>>
>>26865036
>Beheeyem has a grass attack so it automatically destroys ground types!
>>
>>26865036
I guess Smeargle must be the strongest Pokemon. In can use any four moves for perfect coverage. Checkmate atheists
>>
>>26865081
>Eelektross
Have we finally found the perfect Smeargle counter?
>>
>>26865092
>Gravity Smeargle
!!!!!!!!
>>
>>26865111
Smeragle confirmed unbeatable
>>
>>26865123
Can Smeargle still have perfect coverage with Gravity + Earthquake to beat Eelektross and a fairy move to beat the ghost/darks ?
>>
>>26865157
MIMIC SMEARGLE
>>
>>26865157
It would need a rock move to hit every mon at least normally effectively.
>>
>>26865178
Nah it needed SE coverage. so I guess that's a no. Smeargle debunked. Everyone go home
>>
>>26864727
>I'm also pretty sure nobody bothered to replay BW2 to get the Hard Mode run or even complete its post-game.

You can activate hard mode as soon as you beat the league in Black 2, no need for a new file.
So I'm sure everyone who actually fought her rematch team did so on hard mode, unless they're a fucking idiot.

Also why wouldn't you complete the post game? It's one of BW2's strongest points.

>Steven's rematch team

Fucking bullshit. Get rid of the coolest mons on your team for a rock and "hey, bet you never fought one of these before" Aerodactyl.
>>
>>26863406

diantha was harder than iris. iris is garbage and a nigger.
>>
>>26864727
>And fuck Steven Stone's rematch team, literally a downgrade and weaker than its standard team in RS and rematch in Emerald.
No? I mean Carbink is bad but in the end it's not much different from Claydol. Aerodactyl is better than both fossils.

N is the strongest team of 6, Benga is the strongest team of 3.

N goes full weather and is pretty challenging, definitely on par with post-game Wally in terms of difficulty.

You still had Alder, Bianca, Cheren, and Gamefreak all with full teams and relatively high levels, as well as the Shadow Trio, the Striaton Gym Leaders, and Benga with relatively strong teams of 3.

BW2 was so good man.
>>
>>26863406
I thought Diantha had 6 mons? That's missing Tyrantrum and Auroras. I remember because the first time I finished X was during a Nuzlocke, and I overleveled, but I was only 10 levels higher.
>>
>>26865360
Don't forget Colress.
>>
>>26865001
And none of those have a better team than Wally so you're basically acting like an obnoxious faggot

>>26864747
>physical Honchkrow

Certified dummy.
>>
>>26865364
Oh yeah, slightly weaker than N but still really good.

All this talk makes me want to replay BW2. Too bad I only have W2 and nobody to give me a hard mode key.
>>
>>26865340
I think he's referring to her original team and I actually agree. Diantha's original team was better.
>>
>>26865318
The Claydol he still keeps on his team. Meaning there's no need for Carbink. Aerodactyl is pretty shit too. Rock slide and elemental fangs. The other fossils were much more threatening. Not to mention a lot cooler.

>>26865361
That's the Chateau rematch team. That one's higher leveled and the Champion team has 2 more mons. They're both pretty shit, though.
>>
>>26865360
Cynthia-pandering was also in BW2 and she had a pretty boss team.

The hardest part about the legendary battles in ORAS for me was trying to find a pokemon that could whittle them down without one or two hit KOing them, even several levels below, since I wanted to save the master ball for deoxys.

Fossils in Gen 3 were better, especially the Ancient Power boosts comebacks.

In Gen 6 an Aerodactyl was both unnecessary and not so hard, keeping the fossils that got a movepool upgrade through gens would have been better.

Also fuck the decision to not give back Earthquake to Steven Stone's Metagross in both first battle and rematch, the champion's ace having Hyper Beam and Giga Impact is a very stupid tradition, especially on said Metagross that paried with Meteor Mash and mixed Psychic was a pain to deal with.

Why would he even need Aerodactyl when it is already one of Lance signature Pokemon in Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3, he does also have Skarmory as signature flying Pokemon.

They clearly tried to give it a somewhat of Fire resist but this Aerodactyl cannot even seriously damage Blaziken and its eventual mega, pretty sure Armaldo would have done more while Cradily would have been a decent answer for the Swampert users.
>>
>>26865365
To be fair you pretty much need an actual competitve team just to reach wally (beat a super battle thing), compared to a rematch elite 4

Ghetsis isn't the most difficult challenge in any game in history, but as far as Pokemon goes, he was a welcome surprise of difficulty -- like that Veteran in the cave.

Pokemon games aren't difficult in general, yes, but that doesn't mean that the Gen 6 wasn't even easier than than the games that came before it.

>>26864935
I could barely even finish ORAS, I understand that feel.
