I enjoy the Pokemon games quite a lot as they are, but I can't help but think that yes, they are getting easy. In games, I find myself hopping from one thing to the next with no difficulty or grind. I think a change that can be made is perhaps a setting for difficulty. Well, to be more specific, I want better level scaling. I like it when I have to spend some time grinding EXP, or when I need to get TMs with effective moves against new opponents. Right now, it seems like players can breeze through the base game without any of this. I understand that Pokemon is meant to also be accessible to younger players that don't want to go through the process of grind, but it would be helpful to maybe have a harder mode that expands on limiting EXP and smarter AI. I want more NPCs that swap their 'Mons and use coverage moves, like we're fighting actual people.
