Def doesn't nullify their argument. The dev has straight up told people it was intended that way. That means that when in reference to the difficulty you should assume it is as intended and isn't just rough around the edges.

There's a big difference between hard, and artificial grind. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But hey, it's their game, they can do what they want with it. But that doesn't mean we can't criticise it. Personally? I think memory editors are your best friend for things like this. lol.

Also. If you want a good challenge for a pokemon game there are far better rom hacks that handle balance FAR better for difficult but not overly grindy. Look at Pokemon Vega. Difficulty through better AI, team composition. Etc. Not situations where you need to grind. lol
Whatever asset this guy is using for his trainers AI is really rudimentary. Most of the enemies just have 4 attacking moves and use them randomly. You're also given the creators big ass'd OC mon that raises both special stats every time it knocks out something and can raise it's defense by using a move. Just grind that thing up to level 40, which is really easy, and you're good. The game is really only hard because it's artificially hard, it puts big numbers in your way you need to grind to surmount, not any real difficulty from strategy. The pull here is that it has porn I guess. If not for that nobody would give this game the time of day.

They'd much rather bitch in threads for hours about how everything is oh-so-hard than git gud. :ROFLMAO::coffee:
I could finish this with a starting team easy, it's not hard. It has been ages since I played a pokemon game, (silver...I think). Is there an alt way to earn money I might be unaware of besides trainers and theft TM. I prefer to catch them all, even if it's just an H version.
Also catching only female in case something developes where you can "interact" with your team. But that's probably WAY down the road.

Exactly this. It's not a difficulty. It's a grind. It's far more fun to constantly take on gyms/trainers that are 5-10 levels higher than me and use combo's and strategy to surpass instead of just grinding levels.
The people yelling GIT GUD clearly don't know what a difficulty actually means.

That said. I really hope the Dev keeps on this and improves it. I hope they take the criticism to heart and don't just get upset and rage quit. There's some good potential here, they just need to refine it.

I'm a little confused, I saw a lot of people talking about difficulty and all, did we play the same game? Is balanced good enough, if you find strong opponents you just need to train your pokemon as it always has been, if they are too weak, good job you grinded enough for this update.

Btw the Hentai scenes are only of Lopunny ? Or I missed something?

Seeing an hentai pokemon game is a dream who comes true, keep it up!

"Batman I- I caught uh, I caught a little pokemon. Do you wanna know what Pokemon I caught?"

Honestly, can't wait for next update and name MC Joker.

It is a good game. Difficulty is good, and I, as an old pokemon player can easily go, it is even easier with such aount of EXP.
A question tho, will we be able to see that rival girl get pounded by some Zebstrika?

I like how there are arguments about difficulty in this thread more than criticism about how the game could be better. Example the first trainer after your rival could have 1 pokemon and if the dev feels mericful have it lvl 7 but if he's wanting it padded go with lvl 9. This adds more of lvl goal if you don't want to catch a mankey and the back to backs are hard especially since the starting potion dies in usefulness at around lvl 12 while opening areas. Personally believe the harsh difficulty should be needed to give the dev time as well as prep time for us when content drops, but yeah think about how one grinds just as much as their need to.

Pokemon fans generally prefer grinding through trainers than by going through the grass so maybe next update the first area is open with that brat acting as a gate keeper to the next area or city with optional trainer battles getting to him.

Really like the idea of the rival romance route. Hope there migth be some other reoccuring characters in the story to do that with. Also, you might want to not name your game Pokemon... you know, just to avoid the lawsuits.

What you say would hold more water if (stay with me here) EVERYONE was unable to beat the game. There are over 20 pages of comments so I wouldn't ask you to go through all of it, but I will reiterate; People know how to beat the game, people have figured out the mechanics, and this game was NOT made for, nor catered to casuals. What you're essentially telling me to do, is to scale back the difficulty to the point of mainstream Pokemon games, which I detest.

"The reason is simple; they are many, you are alone."

I disagree. Once again, The variety of Pokemon you can find in Town and on Route 1 are more than enough to beat the route. And the sheer amount of EXP you get for every battle essentially puts you leaps and bounds ahead very quickly. Once more, I will make it clear that it is virtually impossible for me to tailor the difficulty of the game to suit everyone's needs. If I made it easier, people who like the challenge will complain.

"If you insist on the enemy being so broken on the basis of "matching the player", you have entirely dropped the ball on the balance between player and NPC. Your idea is certainly a pain in the ass... And sadly, no matter your intent, if you don't carefully consider how you build the game from the base up and just slap such broken gimmicks onto NPCs, folks will call it out."

They are free to call it out. Everyone will have an opinion. If they don't like the difficulty, they can just y'know, not play the game. Once again, they are not part of my target demographic. You remind me of those mums and dads in the 90s complaining about the bloodiness and violence of Mortal Kombat when it is clear the game was not made for them.

"Because you can't really change the minds of the players when you yourself fundamentally do not understand why Pokemon had such items in the first place... Nor can you understand that the majority of players rarely used them, as again, they were more of a crutch left for actual kids."

I am not here to change ANYONE's minds. I'm just here to provide a product geared toward a certain goal, made for certain people. That's all. It is not complicated.


All that aside, I apologise if I sound very flustered or annoyed, because I essentially am. Would word my comments better if I were in a better state of mind.
People being able to beat a game does not make it well-balanced or even well-constructed.
Learn to take criticism, rather than blaming the masses when they state your idea of a 'challenge' isn't so much a challenge as it is a railroad and a ball-gag with a revolver strapped to the back of it forcing you to play your way or the die way.
