Junk Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 so far it is generally pretty easy, however i am about to go into the 3rd gym and after battling that lucario duo i am scared, i mean the lucario duo was easy since i had high levled pokemon,like level 30 or 31 but that swords dance and metal sound, but yeah, how hard was or is pokemon x and y?

Nobody Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Easy. Very easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Marth 64 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) It's kinda pretty easy, I had the Exp. Share turned on, I just defeated the Elite Four and Champion without any defeats except for Siebold with a restart before saving after defeating the other 3 members (that I got Greninja defeated in Wikstrom's and Dransa's Pokemon that they used Earthquake and Revenge and used Greninja, Lucario, and Xerneas several times) and just captured Mewtwo (with the Ultra Ball without wasting any Pokeballs and a couple of restarts to avoid Mewtwo to get defeated) and Zygrade (with the Dusk Ball without wasting any Pokeballs and a couple of restarts to avoid Zygrade to get defeated). And I still have the Master Ball not used from the Poke Ball Factory still in my inventory. Edited October 20, 2013 by King Marth 64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Most of the difficulty is "WTF is this thing" and remembering the new type chart (it's a few tweaks along with Fairy). If you want to utterly trivialize the game, leave EXP Share on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintessence Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Pretty easy. I was surprised when I had a Gardevoir by the 2nd Gym and pretty much my final team by 3rd Gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_Cero Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 This is why I prefer to keep EXP share off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Pretty easy. I had the EXP Share off the entire time, had a pretty unbalanced team, and was rather underleveled, but the E4 was still pretty easy. And money is really plentiful. 400K without even trying is silly.

Mighty Kamina Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 It's piss easy if you turn the exp share on, but if you keep it off (like I did) I found it was harder than the average Pokemon game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melonhead Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 If you're using Exp Share, you can manage 2 teams without a problem all the way up to Victory road. I can imagine it being a bit harder without it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Poet Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I thought it was a lot easier than previous Pokemon games, probably because of the new Exp. Share feature allowing you to build a party without ever having to be type disadvantaged. I think they probably made the games easier this time around to accommodate for the fact that no one would really be able to have a good grasp of the new roster's types and strengths yet, which did make the first portion of the game a bit more difficult.

Florete Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 It's piss easy if you turn the exp share on, but if you keep it off (like I did) I found it was harder than the average Pokemon game.Yeah, that. I was playing without the Exp Share for a while and it was actually pretty hard, with enemy Pokemon levels usually around the same level as my team (I was training 4 Pokemon until I added Lucario), sometimes even higher. But then if you add in the Exp Share and Lucky Egg it becomes a whole lot easier. I think it's pretty cool, actually, since it's kind of like an ingame choice of a harder or easier difficulty. Turn it off for a harder game, on for an easier game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 hmm they really need to make pokemon games a bit harder, anyone know a hard pokemon game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwall Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 If it's too easy you can always just play competitively (Pokemon Showdown) or make up some set of restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifer Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Pokemon games difficulty is inversely related to time spent grinding, so for me, very easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest meibum Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Very simple. The fairy type weakness and strengths is basically the only thing you have to teach yourself to remember, and after that it is smooth sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I messed up a few times with typings, but that was it for most of the game. I never wiped (and never even had Charizard faint). I will say the Elite Four was a pretty big difficulty leap and I found it to be an interesting challenge, even though I outleveled them a bit. The Champion was disappointing, though. Also I randomly found Viola to be pretty hard for a first Gym Leader. Vivillon caught me off guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeDusk Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well I had the exp share off the entire time and I beat the game with pokemon ranging between 56-60. Every battle I was pretty much underlevelled but I never lost except for the champion but final pokemon critted my Meowstic through screens. Had a strategy but said pokemon just destroyed it ;_; There is no hard pokemon game. I think the closest to difficult would be Red/Blue and maybe Diamond/Pearl at a stretch. Just have some restrictions/rules and you should be fine. Nuzlocke is a popular example of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djeets Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 hmm...i see i see, even with exp-share, everyone mostly reached lv56-60 party at elite 4. what a lazy players fine then, i'll either use only 3 pokemon all the time or no exp-share kinda pretty ironic that the champion of the game had the best levels but prettty much the easiest i heard (even mega-garde is not much big deal) lysandre? don't even begin talking, just 4 pokemon of early lv50...totally dissapointing ~.~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Don't things like Charizard Y and Mega Lucario rape the hell out of the game? Zard Y sounds ridiculous in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charizard Y I can't speak for, but from what I've read Mega Lucario is really good. Hasty nature and 31 IVs in speed guaranteed is really good Edited October 21, 2013 by DodgeDusk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasty nature and 31 IVs in speed guaranteed is really good Shouldn't we care about POWER more than superfluous speed? I imagine 112 base speed with the best nature/IVs would give Lucario the first turn against plenty of opponents who would be expected to be faster (no clue what those would be as I'm still waiting for my chance to buy the game), but doesn't OHKOing potential with sufficient speed take precedence here? Zard Y has a humongous sp. atk. stat and even sets up sun for itself, giving me the impression of X/Y's Darmanitan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) I can't talk about zard Y, but the zard x was basically my "fuck this battle i want to win" buttom. Edited October 21, 2013 by Nobody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You raise a fair point, but I imagine 145 base attack, adaptability AND having a great physical movepool is more than enough to OHKO most things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
