This week I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on the difficulty level of Pokémon games! Opinions on both current and historical difficulty levels are welcome.

Overall, I'd personally like to see the main series get a difficulty selection at the start of the game or accessible from anywhere. Usually it feels like any challenging content is locked to specific post-game areas, if it exists, or you have to turn to online competitions.

That being said, obviously the series has wide appeal and needs to be accessible to young fans.

Pokémon has tried a convoluted key system in Black 2 and White 2 which allowed for Easy and Challenge modes, but it was too much of a pain to use for new games for most players.

Sound off below! Do you like things as they are or would you prefer more of a challenge or grind?

While personally I’m fine with the current level of difficulty; after all one can always have self imposed rules like nuzlockes if one wants more of a challenge, if they keep open worlds I do wish they would have level scaling depending on badge numbers.

Personally I think if pokemon games are becoming too easy for you, then you should probably branch out into the greater ocean of RPG's.

But if your so deeply against that thought. You have hundreds of pokemon and moves for you to decide your own difficulty, you can even do some silly self-imposed challenge.
